Has Lundqvist played enough to even be a Vezina candidate?

It is too early to say Lundqvist deserves the Vezina at years end. He certainly could be considered a candidate if he can be given the number of games he will likely end the year playing. He probably wont be over 60 that is for sure, how many games minimum does a goalie need to have to even be a serious Vezina candidate? Could Lundqvist have a shot at the Vezina or would starting the year behind Weekes keep him from any shot at it?

I would like to add that it is a bit of a joke IMO that Lundquist has not been named rookie of the month even once. There are months his stats were just as good as Emery this month, on a less defensive-oriented team, and still did not win it. For January particularly I felt it was his.
