In the last 5 Stanley Cup Finals there were 9 different starting goalies.
6 were drafted by their teams, 3 were acquired (Jones, Bishop and Fleury).
If you expand it to the last 10 finals, there were 18 different starting goalies, 8 were acquired by the Stanley cup finalist (Osgood, Leighton, Thomas, Luongo, Rask, Jones, Fleury, and Bishop) and 10 were drafted.
Last year 8 playoff teams drafted their starting goalie and 8 acquired their starting goalie.
