Rankings
Top 200 | C | LW | RW | D | G
Here are the top goaltenders ranked in descending order based on their value in 10 or 12 team "Banger Leagues." Wins, goals-against-average, save percentage and shutouts are recorded for goaltenders.
Rank | Player | Team |
---|---|---|
1 | Braden Holtby | WAS |
2 | Carey Price | MTL |
3 | Jonathan Quick | LA |
4 | Corey Crawford | CHI |
5 | Ben Bishop | TB |
6 | Martin Jones | SJ |
7 | Cory Schneider | NJ |
8 | John Gibson | ANA |
9 | Henrik Lundqvist | NYR |
10 | Jake Allen | STL |
11 | Roberto Luongo | FLA |
12 | Devan Dubnyk | MIN |
Price is a better goalie than Holtby, but Washington is a far superior team compared to Montreal. Forty-eight wins for a goaltender is absolutely absurd, and the Caps have the pieces to make it happen again.
Gibson and Allen are both the undisputed No. 1 netminders now thanks to offseason trades of Frederik Andersen and Brian Elliott.
Rank | Player | Team |
---|---|---|
13 | Matt Murray | PIT |
14 | Tuukka Rask | BOS |
15 | Marc-Andre Fleury | PIT |
16 | Petr Mrazek | DET |
17 | Brian Elliott | CGY |
18 | Pekka Rinne | NAS |
19 | Cam Talbot | EDM |
21 | Robin Lehner | BUF |
22 | Craig Anderson | OTT |
23 | Frederik Andersen | TOR |
24 | Michal Neuvirth | PHI |
Murray was fantastic in the postseason, but Fleury has such a long track record of success. If possible, draft the tandem back-to-back to ensure you have every Pittsburgh start.
Anderson may be overlooked as a 35-year-old, but he could be in line for his best season over the past few years. A full season of Dion Phaneuf will significantly help the blue line, and Guy Boucher is a major upgrade over Dave Cameron as Ottawa's bench boss.
Rank | Player | Team |
---|---|---|
25 | Steve Mason | PHI |
26 | Semyon Varlamov | COL |
26 | Jaroslav Halak | NYI |
28 | Thomas Greiss | NYI |
29 | Connor Hellebuyck | WPG |
30 | Sergei Bobrovsky | CLB |
31 | Mike Smith | ARI |
32 | Antti Niemi | DAL |
33 | Kari Lehtonen | DAL |
34 | Ryan Miller | VAN |
35 | Cam Ward | CAR |
36 | Andrei Vasilevskiy | TB |
37 | Ondrej Pavelec | WPG |
38 | James Reimer | FLA |
39 | Carter Hutton | STL |
40 | Jimmy Howard | DET |
At this point, you're either choosing a No. 1 goalie on a poor team, or a timeshare goalie on a decent team. It's ideal if you can get both goalies of a split, such as Neuvirth/Mason or Halak/Greiss.
Colorado ranked at or near the bottom of every major possession statistic last season. With Patrick Roy out the door, Varlamov should only improve.
