ya I agree, less shots per game correlates to more shutouts.

I think we can agree that a goalie who only lets in about a goal per game on 50 shots would be a very good goalie but what if they're on a team that can't score in a whorehouse? Wins are dependent not just on a goalie performing well, but on an offense in front of the goalie producing. You can't win if your offense hangs you out to dry.

In that particular case yes I totally agree, but nothing like that has ever come close to happening so I'm not sure it's a great example. Also if that did happen his/her GAA would be around 1.00 and his/her save % would be nuts (like 98%) and they'd be a slam dunk for best goalie regardless of wins.
