Could DeGrath win Top Goalie?
Let me first start off by saying, I'm extremely bitter that a goalie I've put 925 TPE into is literally just sitting on a tanking team. After signing a lifetime contract with ADV and the Stockholm Vikings, I thought my first ever goalie would at least get to win a cup in his career. While he has had multiple Founder's Cups and now 3x Gold Medals for Canada, he is a longshot to ever get a cup - which is a shame.
Despite the fact that he is buried on a team rebuilding, I hope he can still be considered for top goalie. In my opinion, his numbers hold up very well. His team statline is obviously not good, with Wins and Goals Against being pretty harsh. However, he leads the league in Save Percentage with .935. Apollo Skye, the next goalie with a .931 Save Percentage made almost 1000 less saves than DeGrath.
In a year where there isn't a clear cut winner for goalie of the year, perhaps voters might look at the circumstance and realize that the 2x Top Goalie Winner, Rhett DeGrath had one of his best individual seasons while playing on a barren team.
