More than any other position, I think you need to rely on eye test for goalies, but over a long period of time.

Not sure I agree.
That's taken into account by expected goals against.
It could get better, but it's objective.
If Calgary's team defense (or defensemen) are worse than the rest of the league, the Calgary goaltenders would have their expected goals against rise, meaning they could give up more actual goals and still be flat in goals saved above average.
