As I look at the most recent rankings, one thing really jumps out at me. The Predators are overworking Pekka Rinne, and as a result, his performance has started to slip. I really feel as though he's still an elite goalie, but now, he's returned to be a top-5 goalie and not far and away the best goalie in the league. That being said, let's look at the newest rankings....
