Is Juuse Saros the best goalie age 23 and under in the NHL?

[Viktor Vaughn]

He plays on the best coached team in terms of defensive play and systems. But yes, by himself he’s still an amazing goalie.

Preds have the best group of defenders, but they would bleed high danger shots chances against last season. It was a major point towards giving Rinne the Vezina last year.

 

[Hagged]

I lol at Saros. An overrated undersized soft euro behind a vezina level defense. He wouldn't even be NHL level on any other team, just like Rinne wouldn't.

That defense though

That tired chicken-or-the-egg argument though.

Hot take

"Vezina level defense" hahaha

I wonder if these people watch NSH games to make dumb statements like that

This is either a well-done joke, or an incredibly embarrassing moment for you that you decided to share with the internet.

 

[BullLund]

Good goalies often do. Hmm. I wonder if there's a correlation.

Not many goalies out there who look good with bad defense.

Raanta looks decent with Arizona.

Raanta looks decent with Arizona.

Why are people replying to me with these? Did i say "There are no goalies who look good with bad defense"?

Because the question you posed is more interesting than this thread.

Which goalkeepers look good with a bad defense, now that's a good thread IMO.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

He sucks. Product of the system that’s it, move on nothing to see here.

You forgot "trap hockey" and "one-sided officiating."

 

[HanSolo]

Crawford as well.

True. But as of today Anaheim is dead last in shot suppression and Gibson is 5th in the league in save percentage.

 

[canuckslover10]

The rangers got a few goalie prospects that are looking pretty good

 

[Super Hans]

He's pretty good, but isn't a Selke caliber goalie just yet.

Hahahhaaah.... good one....

Oh, wait.. you were serious??

 

[PredsV82]

You forgot "boring trap hockey" and "one-sided officiating."

Fixed to include the usual epithet

Lehner was a .920 with Buffalo a few years back. That was impressive.

He's .925 right now after 4 games on a shitty team. Wonder if he'll keep it up.

The defense of Nashville is very good

It's funny, but this was all said about Rinne, Suter, and Weber too.

Rinne isn't great, he plays behind the best defensemen in the league.

Suter isn't great, he's got Weber as his defense partner and Rinne backing him up.

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Saros is very good. Many underrate him. I think he'll eventually be one of the best in the league, but he's the only under 23 goalie in the league.

 

[tony d]

He's up there. Going to leave the Preds goalies in good hands once Rinne retires.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Put up great numbers as a backup last 2 years as a backup and is continuously improving. I can’t think of a better goalie born 1995 or later.

you might now be aware of this--but the Preds have a pretty good D in front of him and that does help his game--I would like to see his numbers with the wings, arizona, Edmonton, NYI and a few other teams who D is well bad--compared to a team that is considered to have one of the top D squads in the NHL

 

[playasRus]

Can we lock this thread until I manage to pick him up in my pool on Monday?

Still need good goaltending even with good d.

 

[Frank Drebin]

Best goalie that is under 5'5"

 

[olli]

Without looking it up he’s definitely the best 5’11” goalie.
