Top Goalies For Wins Only
 

Hi Goalie experts, I'm in a league that basically only rewards for wins with a small bonus for shutouts. Lundqvist Rinne and Quick are kind of the obvious ones and I probably won't have the opportunity to draft them in my position so who are some backstoppers beyond them that you guys like for wins only?

Thanks

Schneider (assuming Lu is gone and he starts 35-40 games)
Ward (Carolina should see a big boost in W's this season)
Rask (Another obvious one)
Lehtonen (I think Dal could have a big boos in W's too)
Fleury - with a healthy Crosby they should win a lot of games.
Halak - I predict he becomes the undisputed starter and STL should be a great team this year.

Those are the goalies I see in the top 10 other than ones you've named.

you will get a list of the usual suspects here,
but i think a guy you want this year is cam ward.
carolina is an improved team (though rutuu's injury hurts)...
and cam ward is the best goalie in the easiest division in hockey.
with such a relative high percentage of games against divisional opponents,
carolina has as good a schedule as anyone - and cam ward is going
to win a higher percentage of games than in the past.
plus he is a workhorse and you know he is going to start most games for carolina.
probably didn't expect anyone to list a goalie for ateam that missed the payoffs and finished last in their division last year, but I think cam ward will win more games than a number of goalies drafted before him this year.

I don't see Calgary, Phoenix or Detroit winning a lot of games this year. Detroit may make the playoffs but Kipper and Smith may not get a ton W's.

Ward
Bryzgalov (33 after terrible season, imagine if he plays decent?)
Niemi
Howard
Kipper
Smith
Fleury

Ward & Bryz.

My top 3 for wins-only outside of the elite would be:

-MAF
-Bryz
-Rask (he would be a great option considering it's a shortened season - so the concern that he hasn't played a full 65-70 game season before is less of a factor)

If Lu gets shipped, then replace Rask with Schneider.

ward
kipper

Bryzgalov, Rask, and Ryan Miller would be my picks.
I actually think these guys will finish above Rinne & Quick in wins.
