After King and Quick...

[mvlittle]

After Lundqvist and Quick, in a league that doesn't count GAA and SV% but (probably) over-rewards goalies who start a lot and counts Goals Allowed and Saves, how would you round out the top five goalies? I'm currently looking at Rinne, Price, Bryzgalov, Smith, and Ward but can't decide.

What say you? Thanks for all responses and rep will be given.

1. Rinne
2. Price



3. Ward
4. Bryzgalov
5. Smith

Thanks for the quick response Laendarian. Would you put any other goalies in that mix?

Don't forget Minny, they are much improved and are sure to be contenders. I rank him in between Rinne and Price

Miller
Fleury
Hiller
Kipper


All in that tier as well, heavy start kind of guys. Fleury may lose a few starts to Vokoun mind you. There's the really talented but as of yet unproven with large workload kind of players too like Rask and Schneider who could be great. In your setup though if you just want lots of starts these guys are probably the safer bets to add to the list you already have.

Guys like Kipper, Rinne, Ward, Miller, Price are money in any format but especially in one that heavily weighs SV's and Wins.

Kipper has more wins over the past bunch of seasons than most, if not any goalie and Ward is pretty much a lock for top 3 in SV's each season if he's healthy.

Thanks dyz, two follow up questions for you and anyone else: How many more years do you see Kipper having left in him? How many games do you see Enroth getting this year?

Overall, I like both of these guys a lot...Kipper for my settings and Miller in general. However, I currently have them below guys like Smith and Rask.

I know I'm biased, but Kipper has 2-3 great years left, at minimum. He has shown no signs of slowing down, and if Hartley lets the offense roll next year, we could see Kipper put up a HUGE number of Saves. The defense is offensive and mobile, and will have to rely on Kipper even more. Expect him to keep going for a while still.

I'd say at least 3. He had one of his best seasons in recent years this past year and he's flat out one of the most talented goalies in the NHL.

Don't see Enroth getting many games. I'd expect Miller to get 65-69 starts which leaves Enroth with 13-17.
