@mikey what is your take on this Kaapo Kakko kid, other than a killer name? Saw he is pushing Hughes for the #1 spot.

Finland isn't my region anymore now that I have been quarantined to mostly Americans...but I am aware of what an interesting player he is. Unique style, insane puck protection skills, probably the most cheeky Finn prospect I can remember...

That's a really good player with a ton of upside. Vegas just trying to get in on the ground floor on him, I like that bet personally...

Bettman upholds Wilson's 20 game suspension. next step is an independent arbitrator.
NHLPA claims Wilson is a "clean player and "not a head hunter"

Lots to digest here. Based on talent? Meaning all around talent at the position? Basically the ability to effectively stop f’ing pucks?

As a nobody I find it weird seeing Bob and Vokoun on the same tier.

Yeah, it's a lot...no obligation, of course. But if anyone here would have fun with it, and you know goalies...
Yeah, all around talent. Like, you know that Tim Thomas has two Vezinas and you know that Brian Elliott led the league in save pct. but you know they aren't good...
You know Carey Price plays in an absolute dumpster...but you know he's good. Using that knowledge, how you determine that Price is good and Elliott is not, apply to this list as a whole...

Without knowing if you think Bob is too low or Vokoun is too high, I will tell you that Bob sucks.As a nobody I find it weird seeing Bob and Vokoun on the same tier.

No. This is good. Let me get kids to bed and actually look at this.
Did you do the tiers as you went? I’m think about just making a straight 1-50 then trying to make some logical groups from there
