It would take a pretty serious bounce back for multiple years for Holtby to sniff the Hall of Fame IMO.

I'm not talking about after that game - that whole year, things had been rocky for Roy. There was no small contingent of fans and media pouring dirt on his grave.
But realy, you don't think 400 wins, Stanley Cup, Vezina, Jennings, and a career GAA in the range of 2.65 and .915 gets Holtby in?
I don't know if Holtby has many more .920 seasons in him, maybe one or two, but I would be shocked if he wasn't reliably .910-15 for the next five years.
I wouldn't put him in if he retired today, but all he has to do is be as good from 31-35 as Mike Smith was, and he gets in.
