Don't you choose the goaltender with the better rebound and puck control over the one without those qualities, given the option?
That would very much depend on the defensive system I'm trying to implement and the quality of the players I have to ice every night. Not everyone likes sprinkles, nor to sprinkles belong on every cake. They may look good, but they really don't add much to the cake.
With rebound control, for instance . . . better rebound control will generally mean more defensive zone faceoffs. If I have a team that's very good on the draw, then, yeah, I definitely take the guy who's going to provide more opportunities there. However, if I have a team that's weak on the draw, but very good at causing turnovers and provides a lot of counter-strike offence, I might like to see the puck kept in play a little more.
