OK, but you were arguing with a straight face that you'd take him over Kiprusoff...
No... I said that there 4 year "peak" (stating consecutive seasons) favor Rinne. Kipper has the GP advantage. Also this is Rinne only 4 starting seasons.
im sure he has more good-great seasons left in him.
Again these are just numbers. Coaching and team play has a lot to do with it too.
All I was trying to prove was that he was a good option for this draft.
Rinne over the 4 year span age 26-29
137 wins
2.36 GAA
920 SV%
and 25 shutouts.
Averaging 62 GP a season over this stretch.
Kipper Age 29-32
166 Wins
2.52 GAA
912 SV%
and 23 shutouts.
Averaging 75 GP a season over this stretch.
unless im mistaken but that was Kippers peak no?
He may have another good season or two other than those four years but also has had twice the seasons as Rinne.
Is it safe to say that in 5 more years if rinne keeps this up and make a finals ( may never happen ) then they are in the same league? Again would have to get that Vezina too....
Playoffs Kipper has the advantage.
with twice the GP and Wins. 5 SV% points higher.
Im not trying to Boost Rinne and down play Kipper. Kipper is great. Rinne I think will be great.
Am I way off here? Let me know.
