Respectfully disagree with you and Noodles, Daisy. I'm not arguing that wins are not more important, I believe that regardless of starter or backup, the chances of a goalie getting the W increase as the Save % improves.
I'm in this camp too, to me it seems super obvious and I'm not following this "logic" at all that SV% doesn't matter and only wins count (or at least I don't see how this would be any more or any less true for backups than for starters). Backups and starters are different sure but in the end they're all goalies who's job is to keep the puck out of the net and IMHO any differences between them pale in comparison to this massive similarity.
