Since you don't want to read the thread, here are some highlights:
@DarrenWHaynes
Many say ES SV% is a better indicator of a goalie's ability.
Of 52 goalies with >40 starts the last 2 seasons, Mike Smith ranks 11th (.927).

8.45 were high danger (Saved 83.73% vs. League Avg of 81.17%)
Brian Elliott faced on average:
27.81 shots against per game last season
13.01 were low danger (Saved 97.82% vs. League Avg of 97.91%)
8.28 were medium danger (Saved 93.84% vs. League Avg of 92.50%)
6.52 were high danger (Saved 79.13% vs. League Avg of 81.17%)
Now that's finalized, I expanded on the above numbers.
Smith was above league average in all three categories, while facing more shots per game than any other goalie
Smith was better than Elliott in high danger and low danger save %
Elliott was below league average in high danger and low danger save%
