Yeah how many truly consistent goalies have there been in the last decade?
In the last 10 years there have been 9 different Vezina winners. Only Bobrvosky has won it more than once.
In that same period of time there have been 20 different Vezina finalists (by my count, which i did manually but I think it's right or close to right)
In the last 4 years, there have been 10 different Vezina finalists. Only Vasilevskiy has been nominated more than once. If you go back 5 years only two (add Hellebuyck) have been nominated more than once.
So much variation from year to year. Deciding whether or not to committ to a tender must be very difficult.
I would say right now the #1s i would count on going forward, with high confidence, would be Shesterkin, Hellebuyck, Vasilevskiy, and Oettinger.
That's it. That's the list.
