Hiller and Smith both ran into old age, Ortio was never and NHL goalie, and Ramo has always been servicable at best.
Ramo suffered what was essentially a career ending injury. He looked like he might be hitting another level before that.

And you are of course correct: Monahammer's analysis provides almost no consideration of the most important elements in good goaltending...

Talent and ability.
