As we continue patiently waiting for hockey to come back, at least we have some time to have longer discussions about some bigger thoughts/concerns in the game. And there’s been a lot of talk about goaltenders in the game lately, so let’s spend a little time discussing the guys who work between the pipes.
Qualified goaltenders selected in the first round and still active in the NHL were playing under 15 per cent of available minutes in the 2021-22 season, that number cut in half from where it was during the 2007-08 regular season… And goaltenders selected in those middle rounds? They saw an explosive move to the upside last season, playing nearly 60 per cent of available minutes – triple where they were during the 2007-08 season.
