So I have finished calculating the legacy scores for all skaters who have won some sort of award.

Going to the goaltenders and I am currently unsure if the legacy chart that I am using will accurately show which goaltenders are better than others (at least to a point).

This is the current way I have each award and their impact on the overall score.

Reg. Ssn. Wins 1
Playoff Wins 1.5
1st All-Star 40
2nd All-Star 20
3rd All-Star 10
All-Rookie 10
Ron Mexico 150
Sarmad Khan 150
John McBride 100
Anton Razov 90
Challenge Cup 80
Mike Honcho 70
Ryan Jesster 60
Damian Littleton 40

With this score, I have Lauris Prikulis at 1572, Jakob Tanner at 1020, Jordin FourFour at 1175, Jakub Aittokallio at 1392, and John McBride at 1396.

Now I am not sure if I put Prikulis THAT far above everyone else, especially a guy like McBride who won 6 McBride trophies, but I am curious what others would think. Considering I am not a big goalie guy, I am unsure if I am putting the right weight into certain categories.

I feel like the cup and playoff wins are being slightly undervalued. That's the ultimate prize and should be the measure of a great goaltender.

Playoff Wins 1.5 -> 2
Cup 80 -> 120

I can see bumping up playoff wins because they aren't going to tip the scales too heavily, but I am not sure about cups going up 40 per. Maybe bumping cups to 100?

100% agree with this... especially with the precedent on raising the cup weight.

Should be at least worth what the McBride is if not more imo.

- Possum Queen - 12-20-2016

Cup should be worth more so nobody figures out I'm shit kthx


- JumpierPegasus - 12-20-2016

Mike Honcho still the best peak of any SHL goaltender, hands down

I guess maybe adding some records to that would also help to distinguish the great from the good ones since the records have been recently updated.

Save Percentage and maybe Shutouts there also is technically GAA but I wouldn't count that one.

Might those be too fluid to factor in? Does a goalie lose the points when he loses the record?

Might be the case but then again the records are separated by eras so only 5 goalies could lose points.

There isn't enough of a gap between most goaltenders to where save percentage would matter.

I think I will bump playoff wins to 2 and Challenge Cup wins to 100 and call it a day.

I think it's unfair to weight cups that highly. Some of the best players in sports have never reached the goal of taking the championship. Winning a cup is the ultimate team achievement.

I think playoffs and cups should count ultimately towards the ranking of players. But I don't think they should be weighted as heavily as personal achievements.

I know some will argue that everything a goaltender does is a team achievement. But when you have a guy facing 25 shots on average and winning a cup against a guy who faces an average of 35 shots and comes up short in the previous round. I can't exactly say the best goalie won the cup.
