A few things stand out:
1. Why the heck is Andersen ranked 24th? Ahead of him are Hammond and Pevelec?!?
2. Top 10 look good, although I'd push Rask a couple of spots higher.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

I can't list my 2nd main keeper as there are too many players, but it is a keep all H2H points-only league
It's just junk, that's all it is. Craig Anderson below Andrew Hammond, just like Yahoo, is totally idiotic. It just shows a lack of research. Why aren't people held accountable?
No Bernier or Mike Smith.
Allen at 14.
Very bad.
Halak is way too low, both in general and based on those immediately above and below him.
Hmmm......Mrazek ahead of Howard. Are they certain that Howard is no longer the no.1 goalie in Detroit?
One ahead of Ryan Miller, when Halak has essentially no chance of losing the starting job and is in front of a team that should coast into the playoffs, and one behind a goalie mired in a 1A/1B situation?! I get that you like to pick viewpoints that oppose mine, but you might be more selective about it, lest you look even less well informed.
Why do you have to be a dick?
I meant he's right around where I'd put him. The only argument I see is for him to move up to #12 or #13. I am not big on Halak or the Isles this season, they do not have a spot locked up whatsoever. I would for sure take him over Allen, and probably/maybe over Luongo.
Rask at #10.
Wow, whoda thunk it a year or two ago...
Amazing what a year made for the Bruins. Ugh.
NHL.com is trash for fantasy resources. Allen is no where near 14 while still in a timeshare and posting barely .910 save percentages. Halak could flirt with 40 wins this year and should be a few spots higher. Andrew Hammond at 18 may be the worst of all. He'll be lucky to play 35 games this season where as Steve Mason was third in save % last year and is the undisputed #1 looking to play 60+ games but he's #19?
I try and stay far away from nhl.com, yet hope my rival GM's take their word as gospel.

Keep on, keepin' on.
Not a very good list at all. Pretty much assuming that Howard, Anderson and Andersen will fall off a cliff. Mind you I'm in the camp that expects all 3 of the goalies I mentioned to start over 50% of their teams games. Lots of people expect Howard will be 30 or under for starts.
Whats the consensus on Lundqvist vs Holtby - Ive seen a lot of places ranking Holtby higher now.

Holtby for sure in keeper leagues, but I think it's a coin flip in one-year leagues.
Maybe I am being a bit too hard on them, but what I have come to realize over the past couple of years is that NHL.com's team of fantasy writers are absolute garbage. I find myself reading almost every article in sheer disbelief lately.
