As we at Last Word continue our award articles<\/a> concurrently with the 2024 NHL Stanley Cup playoffs as we move to the best odds for the Vezina Trophy for 2023-24. The Vezina Trophy is awarded to the goaltender who was the best in the NHL’s regular season. Moreover, it is largely statistically based, as how else could you quantify the significance of a particular goalie’s performance. However, we could add that one of those statistics could be WIN%, or somewhat dependent on the team aspect of a goalies play. For the list of candidates below<\/a>, there is little questioning the choices given the seasons they had. So sit back, and see if you agree, disagree, or agree to disagree.<\/p>\n
