[LawMan]

I rank them:

1. Dubnyk
2. Bobrovsky
3. Luongo
4. Varlamov

[Laendarian]

1. Bob
2. Dub
3. Lou
4. Varly

[Slug]

I'd go
Bobrovsky
Dubnyk
Luongo
Varlamov

Bob is more proven than Dubnyk. Even if Dubnyk turns out to be the real deal I'd still be happy with taking the safe guy in Bob.

[kolbasz]

I guess it's bob

[P-Giddy]

1. Dubnyk
2. Bob
3. Varlamov
4. Luongo

I would take Duby, but it's crazy close. Both will be very good this year.

Did someone say flip a coin

If you're drafting I think you could wait at least a round later to grab Dubnyk than Bob. I've done 3 drafts this offseason and he is not being drafted like a top tier tender.

[The Bottlenecker]

I'd go
Bobrovsky
Dubnyk
Luongo
Varlamov

Agree with this, and also agree that Bob is typically going before Dubnyk in drafts I have done or have heard have been completed.

- Bob is a workhorse on what should be a good team. Best goalie on the best team
- Varlemov is a workhorse on what should be an OK team. Good goalie on OK team
- Dubnuyk scares me but he is in a good situation to get in his starts. Going against him is his recent stints in EDM, NSH, MON and to an extent PHX. In my deep keeper league he was on the waiver wire all of last summer and landed there once during last season. Working for him is that he was lights out in MINN last year and they have him inked for 6(!) years. I also don't like goalies in their first year of long contracts. I have no data to back this up, just seems to be the way.
- Luongo is a good goalie on an up and coming team but I do not see him getting as many starts as the other goalies on this list. Whether it is history, age or usage I think he gets the least starts of the bunch. Since 3/5 goalie stats are cumulative you want you keeper to get in as many games as possible.

I am not high on Bob at all. If he is going high as a tier 1 I like the advice to go after the other guys lower in the draft. You wil have the sam results by the end of the season. Valamov a little more certain than Bubs but also a major injury risk, not to mention jail risk lol

This makes the most sense to me

[Dobber]

I'd prefer Dubnyk, then Bob

Bob and Varly are BABs... I'd worry about the Bold here. - Just caught myself defending the tenders I own, oh well, I stand by my point.
