I agree with your premise, but Rinne doesn't belong on this list. He's an athletic goalie, less positional. If anything he moves around too much, and needs to let pucks come to him more. Though age/injuries might be catching up with him anyway.
Another possible factor could be age. Generally speaking, younger guys tend to be able to adapt better than the old farts.
I'm thinking this will end up being very tough to predict...
