For goalies, sv% >>>> GAA. Almost always. Just because you have the lowest GAA doesn't mean you're the best goalie, it just means the team in front of you did really well to limit the chances against. Now, if you have the lowest GAA and one of the highest sv%, that's different. Context matters, but for most cases, sv% should be the deciding factor.

Rookies on high TPE teams will always have an easier time at producing than rookies on a low TPE team. We see it all the time even with high TPE players, the better linemates you have the more likely it is you will produce offensively.

If there are a lot of good rookies, the ability to narrow down a list to just 3, let alone 1, will be difficult. Not much can be done with a limited ballot pool.

Point-per-game players who improve their point total and end up on the Most Improved ballot should not be as common as they are. They are good players, that much is known.

A lot to improve upon, not much opportunity to actually improve upon it.

Ok so some context here. Not only are we looking at this broad rubric of Sv% GAA Wins I can also say we’ve looked at GSAA and SO and SHA. It’s not like this is being decided based solely on 1 category here. I can understand the basis for this text and while I agree we are a bit further in-depth at analyzing. Even the past couple seasons we’ve taken into consideration a player being on a good team v a bad team for goalies and other award nominations.

Rookies is a very interesting area to partake in I’ll defer this one to you, but I’ll also mention the discussions this led to said it was Olubori definitively and you could pretty much take your pick of Baltisberger, Faker, Biemanns, Iskandrov, Surkhi-Ze’ev, and Soderberg-Tremblay which all had nominations this year I will say. 

as far as Aidan Richan is concerned, I myself am trying to figure out in a bit more detail a broader rubric to help fix this problem of points being the only thing we work on. I want to get into more advanced stats for players and try to be more inclusive with players because this has very much become a forward based award, much of the same with the MVP voting.

as always I thank you for the critique and opinions on how to fix the system. I am looking forward to setting up another suggestions tab with an actual form.
