I still take Bishop but I do wonder if Khudobin carrying Dallas to the final makes them keep Khudobin and move on from Ben Bishop

With Bishop's ever growing list of injuries and plus that he lets in a lot of bad goals usually within the first couple minutes give me Dobby.

Bishop is elite. Top 5 in the league. I picked Dallas to win the Cup, thinking Bishop will carry them. I've learnt Khudobin ain't too bad either.

If Bishop could stay healthy he's a top 5, maybe top 3 goalie in the NHL. Even not consistently healthy he's top 5 imo

Bishop fairly easily. That's no slight to Khudobin.

If Bishop wasn't made of glass, he'd probably have won a Vezina by now and would be considered a top 3-5 goalie of his generation.

These playoffs Khudobin, even if Bishop was 100% now, Bishop is better tho.

Bishop is a top 5 goalie in the league when healthy. You also have to factor in his puck handling ability. I miss his breakout passes and cutting off every dump in.

The problem is Bishop always has some lower body injury and I also think he's a bit mentally fragile if things go bad. Dobby isn't nearly as talented or as good but he's probably stronger mentally and doesn't seem to ever get phased.

Bishop is the easy answer when healthy.

Bishop is probably the best goalie in the NHL when healthy.

It's close because he's healthy about 2 weeks out of the year, but its still him.

Khudobin is on an incredible run, he is not even close to top 10 in the NHL.
Try following along during the seasons. Khudobin and Halak have been the best backups in the NHL for 2 years running. With the number's they've been putting up I would rank both of them in the Top 10, albeit at the bottom.

You can't have backups in a top 10 goalies list, if, they were top 10 goalies they wouldn't be backups

Depends on your point of view. I would argue having an elite level backup can be more beneficial to a team than having an elite starter with a crappy backup. It all depends on how you choose to rate goalies and goalie tandems. Is a consistently above average starter better than an elite backup? More impactful to team success?

If I was making a fantasy team and had to make a list of 10 goalies to prioritize at the draft, both Halak and Khudobin would be on that list.

No?

Why was he #1 in save percentage for goalies over 20 games?
Why was he #3 in goals against average for goalies over 20 games?
Why did he lead his team through the WCF to the SCF?

Looks like top 10 material to me.

He's been a backup his entire career backup goalies can't be top 10 because they are backups.

This run aside he's never been the guy
