Steve Mason - A young goalie (Like Cory S.) who was givin the #1 in his rookie year and exploded
Tim Tomas - 09 Vezna winner. Case and point.
Martin Brochu - Damn I miss him...

Turco is not the best puck handling Goaltender, Brodeur is the greatest of all time.
As for Steve Mason and Tim Thomas you can't judge a goalie based on one solid year.
Andrew Raycroft won the Calder in 03-04 and look where he's at now.
A Vezina trophy is great and all but it's one of the few trophies where Stats doesn't mean a thing and the decision is entirely subjective to the 30 GMs who vote. (See: Jim Carey 1995-1996)
