[ManUtdTobbe]

Hanks contract is what it is, he deserved it, but he's over 0 in dSv% so even with the contract it's tough to put him in the bottom 5.

Stop being dramatic.
Andersen has looked like shit in 80% of his starts so far but look at last year. He was the worst goalie in the league for October and then he was a top-5 goalie in most stats from Nov-Playoffs.
He doesn't deserve to be anywhere near this thread unless we're talking about the bottom 5 goalies in the league TODAY...in which case you'd need to add Jesus Price and probably Talbot as well.

 

[Cenzo_]

In before Carey Price

 

[tom leafers]

Mason, Elliot, Luongo, Raanta, Dubnyk

Luongo simply because of his age
Dubnyk i believe is very over rated

Just because Andersen bounced back last year doesn't mean he will bounce back again. It probably was just a fluke and coincidence. The fact of the matter is that right now Andersen is being paid 5 mil to play like an AHL goalie. We pretty much have 5 mil in dead cap space. Kind of like when we had Clarkson. Actually that's a pretty good comparison. Andersen is the Clarkson version of goalies.

 

[Edmonton East]

In before Carey Price

Yea, but Price absolutely is bottom 5 once his new cap hit kicks in. It's like posters on here, much like Montreal management, don't understand the concept of replacement value. Price is a good goalie, but from a statistical standpoint, it doesn't make any sense to spend a seventh of your cap on ANY goalie.

 

[JoVel]

Maxime Lagace.

 

[KingsHockey24]

1. Lundqvist
2. Lehtonen
3. Mason
4. Price
5. Smith

This is actually a fun, tough question.

If we are talking about right now, and not when they were actually signed (which is probably not the best way, but whatever):

I'll use save percentage since 2015/16 (i.e. 2yrs plus this year):

1.Lundqvist .914sv% ($8.5m x 4yrs)
2.Rask .914sv% ($7.0m x 4yrs)
3.Schneider .915sv% ($6.0m x 5yrs)
4.Price .920sv% ($10.5m x 9yrs)
5.Varlamov .908sv% ($5.9m x 2yrs)

Hanks contract is what it is, he deserved it, but he's over 0 in dSv% so even with the contract it's tough to put him in the bottom 5.

No, he did not "deserve it". It was a big mistake by management. Nothing more, nothing less.

And on topic, Lundqvist is the worst starter in NHL. Mason is the second-worst. Next would be Varlamov with his contract. Not sure about the rest of the spots.

Price might be on the list, by the way. Mostly due to having a terrible contract.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Mason, Lundqvist, Elliot, Luongo, Smith (although he's proving me wrong so far this year)

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Long were the days when Rinne and Crawford were considered terrible contracts...

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

No, he did not "deserve it". It was a big mistake by management. Nothing more, nothing less.

Lundqvist isn't the worst starter in the NHL, the worst starter in the NHL doesn't have a positive dSv%

 

[ManUtdTobbe]

Use dSv% instead

 

[BleedBlue14]

Most of the goalies that are listed are in teams with certain defensive deficiencies. Very hard to judge. You absolutely cannot include Price on these lists. He has a history of stealing games on his own for the most part. When his new contract kicks in maybe then you can make an argument simply due to the fact that 10m/yr for a goalie is a stretch when the team needs that much help in scoring goals.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Mason, Elliot, Luongo, Raanta, Dubnyk

Luongo simply because of his age
Dubnyk i believe is very over rated

Since coming to Minnesota, he is:

#1 in minutes played
#2 in wins
tied for #1 in save %
#5 in goals against

And makes just a shade over $4 million. I don't know where the overrated would come in.

 

[zeke]

Use dSv% instead

good idea. 46 goalies have played 3500 minutes since 2015/16. I'll use their dsv% ranks.

1.Rask -0.26 (#34), $7.0 x 4yrs
2.Rinne -0.51 (#40), $7.0 x 2yrs
3.Varlamov -0.59 (#42), $5.9 x 2yrs
4.Dubnyk -0.36 (#37), $4.3 x 4yrs
5.Bishop +0.09 (#26), $4.9 x 6yrs

 

[jetsforever]

Why is everyone listing Mason? He's not a #1 goalie - he's only played 4 games in a Jets uniform. He had a competition to be #1 and lost.
I agree that he's not very good though.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

PRice is having a bad year, but he's an elite goalie.

That contract tho . . that's pretty much untradeable. What good team has 10 million in cap to toss at a goalie? That's just absurd.

 

[Maukkis]

People listing Mason forget that he lost his starter job to Hellebuyck at the game 5-6 mark.

 

[Howe Elbows 9]

Scott Darling - $4.15m x 4 yrs
Jimmy Howard - $5.29m x 2 yrs
Cam Talbot - $4.16m x 2 yrs
James Reimer - $3.4m x 4 yrs
Robin Lehner - $4m

 

[Pens x]

Howard, Price, Lundqvist Lehner and Fleury

 

[Frank Drebin]

Yea, but Price absolutely is bottom 5 once his new cap hit kicks in. It's like posters on here, much like Montreal management, don't understand the concept of replacement value. Price is a good goalie, but from a statistical standpoint, it doesn't make any sense to spend a seventh of your cap on ANY goalie.

Is there anyone, anyone on this forum who thinks its a good contract?
