I hate to see trade or UFA targets based on success in another organization when the style of play here will be different and you may not get the guy you went after.

The Don Edwards syndrome.

The stat GSAA is supposed to levelize that, but like any stat is it honed enough to do that? When I look at the last three years combined, and put a line in the sand at 1250 minutes I get 77 goaltenders.

Sort that by gsaa/60 and you get too many occurrences of the same teams at the top with multiple goaltenders.

Why does Kuemper and Raanta both have the exact same gsaa60 for example? That's worrisome to me despite the stat, as I said, supposedly accounting for team play.

Arizaon, Boston, Dallas, Colorado all have two goaltenders in the top 15
Which clearly demonstrates that the stat doesn't do what it is supposed to do
