40 wins for goalies is going the way of 30 wins in MLB The last to do that – Denny McLain – was 51 years ago in 1968.

Has the author ever heard of Connor Hellebuyck?

What about him? Helluva good goalie but surely you aren’t suggesting that train wreck on D (half their complement from last season gone), and shaved-down offense (their 2 best goal producers still not signed) known as the Jets can play well enough in front of Hellebuyck to get him 40 wins again?? Certainly not in the foreseeable future.

The RFAs will be fine and no team needs 15+ million plus of Trouba, Myers and Chiarot. Any goalie who might start 70 on a decent team has a crack at 40 wins.
Also “trainwreck”? Have they played a game yet? But let me guess, I bet you called VGK in the Stanley Cup Final in year 1 right?

Oh, for Pete’s sake. How many games a #1 goalie plays is relevant to his odds of winning 40. How many goals are scored league-wide absolutely is not.
It doesn’t matter whether the average team scores one goal a game or five. Each team plays exactly 82 games and there is a winner in every one of those. A 7-6 win doesn’t count for less in the stats than a 1-0 win.
