One way that we can try to balance out goalie values in the league could be to change the forced call up threshold to 41 games for a goalie. 82 games is so much for a goalie. A backup might play 25 games, so basically you can have a backup for 4 years playing games but sitting in your minors. The best example of this was Jusse Saros who I believe just became a forced call up recently after being Rinne’s backup for a long time.
Having this threshold lowered would make more goalies available and playing games for FSC teams rather than half of the NHL’s backups sitting in minors for years.
