Goalie valuations are where the biggest discrepancy between actual valuations and fan valuations lie:
Any goalie who's currently struggling is just going through a slump and will bounce back to their previous level of play according to their fanbase.
Any goalie currently doing well is 100% going to sustain his current level of play for the next half decade according to the fanbase.
I could find 30+ goalies who the fanbase would claim is worth a 1st. Meanwhile two reigning top 3 vezina goalies were traded in recent years. Neither got a 1st
Meanwhile in real life:
-Goalies get less money than any other position
-Goalies go lower in drafts than any other position
-Goalies recieve lower trade returns than any other position
And all 3 of those metrics are trending downhill.
Helle and Sorokin just hit UFA and got the same/less than Schiefele and Horvat
Goalies are going lower and lower in drafts
a goalie hasn't recieved a haul in a LONG time
