Ok, I laughed.Agreed, but who watches Hartford?
I mean, Datsyuk started at 23. Lias Andersson will be in the NHL 5 years by then.Gibson didn't start until 23.... Carter will be a 3 year starter by then.
When it comes to goalies I trust NHL execs and coaches about as much as I do a random person off the street.I wouldn't say its interchangeable. Gibson is good, but Vasilevskiy won the Vezina at age 24, and he's improved every season of his career into the clear best goalie in the NHL. Going into his draft, he was a generational goalie prospect, and has played as one in his first couple of years in the NHL.
Craig Custance recently surveyed GM's and coaches about the 31 starting goalies in the NHL. He used a formula to account for all their responses, and Vasilevskiy was ranked 1st by a long way using the formula that he did.

Historically bad team? There were 7 teams with worse records last season. I mean, yeah the Ducks sucked last year and Gibson kept them in a lot of games but Hart did the same thing for the Flyers who only had 2 more points and allowed 30 more goals against.Last year Gibson was on a historically bad team the comparison of last year shouldn’t be held in the arena of comparative seasons
