I think you've gotta go with Crawford. Impressive rookie season and a clear cut #1. Bobrovsky:
I've read is just as, if not more, talented than Varlamov but needs some time to adjust to North American style play. He is rumored to be traded - to where? I don't know.
Holtby:
I'm not sure how to assess because I think Neuvirth is the real deal, so he will be a non-factor for next season and then may be getting back up duties unless he's traded - to much uncertainty here.
Varlamov:
"There was a stereotype that Varlamov is injury prone. But his father said it was because he received improper medical treatment from Washington Capitals medical staff.
He is in a good shape! When Semyon returned to Russia after the season, we conducted a thorough medical examination. We did not find any scars in those places where there previously were groin injuries. In fact the treatment by Capitals medical staff is problematic. The doctors in Russia are better. The Washington Capitals doctor would say, "He is alright, he can play.", but Semyon felt that he still had a sore knee. So he goes out and play and again gets injured. And the injury was not even too serious, but he couldn't continue to play." Take that for what it's worth, but Colorado could be looking good pretty soon, and he is in position to be the #1 right now and for the future.
So in conclusion:
Crawford + Bobrovsky/Varlamov.
I would lean for Varlamov at this point in time, but that's just me. I like to try to compete every year and I think Varlamov has a better opportunity right now than Bobrovsky. That said if Bob gets traded, then his value may rise.
