But I'm also willing to walk back the suggestion that Holtby may be borderline elite. Quick is also debatable.
The only two that I would seriously consider elite goalies would be Price and Lundqvist (among active goalies that is).

Winning it once can happen to anyone. Jim Carey has a Vezina.
When you win it twice, you're elite.
When you win it twice and the 2nd time you go 41-17-5 with 7 shutouts, a .931 save % and a 2.06 GAA, with a 15+ game winning streak thrown in for good measure, you're definitely elite.
