I always thought Brodeur was well behind Hasek and Roy myself.

Shutties were common back then. Chabot led the league once in shutties. Hainsworth had a season with 22 shutties in 44 starts during that era.

I don't think Marty is far behind Roy, but Hasek was a different animal imo. No one has ever done what he did. 6 SV% titles in a row and should have been 6 Vezinas in a row (remember Jim Carey and his .906 beating Hasek and his .920?)...a run that should have been 7 Vezina's in 8 years. All starting at 29 yrs old.
Was top 5 in SV% for 8 years straight, top 10 for 9 straight...then missed a year and came back to finish 2nd in SV% at 41 yrs old (remember when he went to the Sens and terrified the shit out of us that they were finally going to win a cup until he got hurt?) then came back at 42 and finished 9th in sv% (50+)
Dude went from 28 yrs old and couldn't stop a puck to 29 yrs old and the GGOAT.

Decent but I remove Toews
Fedorov
Carbonneau
Brind'Amour
Clarke
Are four off the top of my head that I have ahead of Toews

Hasek. Ridiculous anticipation and agility.

I dislike him pretty severely, but he was the #1 all purpose matchup centre with god tier defensive nerdies on what passes for a dynasty in the forced parity modern NHL. The Hawks were an elite defensive team during those years and he's a huge reason why. Prime Toews was a crazy good defensive centre. I stand by the Toews choice. Fedorov is the only one of those 4 I would seriously consider for knocking him off.
With Crosby having an incredible season at 35, I feel pretty confident putting him #4 all time by the time it's all said and done.

Gordie at 35
It's tough to use a "he's having a great year for an old man" argument against Gordie. Fwiw, I have Gordie 4th.

Watching Calgary and STL for a bit and really Calgary sucks. That team is going to fall apart in 1-2 years max and go into full rebuild mode.
Pretty incredible too.
Isn't Crosby 3rd all time in adjusted points per game?
Of course we'll have to see how the next couple years play out. I think Crosby is absolutely top 5 all time, and I have him at 4.
