Despite a standout season that included a 31-6-6 record and fifth place in Vezina Trophy voting, Wedgewood's name did not appear on the list. He had one of the best seasons statistically among NHL goaltenders, contributing to the Avalanche's success. His omission from the list continues a trend of underappreciation for his performances in recent years, both in the NHL and during international competition. Discussions are ongoing about the criteria used for such rankings, especially since Wedgewood's achievements merit consideration among the league's elite.
