Is this why we have had such a challenge solving the position in any meaningful way in 8 years? Because there’s really only like maybe 1 goalie who year in year out performs reasonably consistently (Carey Price)?

Price isn't even top 10 in the league in career save percentage. In the last 3 years, he's only around 91.3%. He makes 10.5 mill until 2026 when he's 39.
Rask, Bishop, Vasilevski, Lehner, and Gibson normally put up better numbers than Price. Bishop, Lehner, Khudobin and Kuemper have even managed to do it while being on multiple different teams.
I'll give credit to Price for being durable. And he has had a few extremely good years.
But he's not a top 5 goalie in the league anymore. The days of Price, Lundqvist, Quick, Rinne and Miller being the best are over. It seems like the position has suddenly become a lot younger, at least at the high end.
