Hi! Where to start....
Firstly, we must not confuse the star system, which is a relative value (rated by scouts according to your league), with the actual rating that you can see through the editor.
I've been talking about this problem for some years now. The gap between the best and the mediocre is not big enough. Point.
Example: 1974. You have the best with Overall scores of 775-825 out of 1000. That's an average of 16/20 in their ratings. And Ron Low (one of the worst 1st goalkeepers in NHL history) at 725, i.e. an average of 14.5/20... Plus, there's the problem of Endurance and GK Mental Strength ratings. Endurance should be seen as a rating relative to use (role/GP). So a goalkeeper who has never played more than 40 GP/season should not exceed 10/20 here.
For the Mental Force, the gap should be even wider. To take Ron Low as an example, if you rate him around 5-7/20 (instead of 15), you're already getting an anxious and very mentally fragile goalkeeper (inconsistent, gives away bad goals, doesn't bounce back from bad performances). And less chance of entering the Hot streak.
