Career numbers are irrelevant to my point, the only numbers that are relevant are his numbers while making 7 million on the cap. I was fine with Rask when he wasn't making 7 million. I don't think any goalie in the modern NHL is worth 7 million because of the nature of the position and how it's played. That money is better spent elsewhere on the cap because the gap between good enough, and the "best" in the modern NHL is not worth the difference in salary. But given Rask's numbers over the past 4 years, I don't see how you could argue that he has been statistically one of the best, because he hasn't. If you missed them, here are his numbers since he signed his 7mil cap hit contract. These are all being the highest, or 3rd highest paid goalie in the league:Rask is tied for 1st career and not close for a single season sv% as far as I can see

People can disagree with me, I don't care. But in no world can anyone justify calling the things I've said and the evidence I've provided to support my opinions, as "hysterical nonsense". The numbers support my argument many times over.
