My Goalie Rankings

[scdakotart2000]

Making sure I have these guys ranked right for my team/league. Currently have Mrazek/Montoya/Domingue on active roster. Saros/Husso/Korpisalo/Jarry/Lyon in minors.

My long term(i.e. 5 years down the road) rankings are:

Saros
Mrazek

Korpisalo
Husso

Jarry
Domingue

Lyon
Montoya(retired or not much of an option)

My current/next year ranking is:

Mrazek
Montoya
Domingue

Saros
Korpisalo
Jarry
Husso
Lyon

I plan on eliminating Montoya in the next year or two. I am debating dropping Lyon now, as no one wants to trade for him and with my other goalies, I see it as a wasted roster spot.

One goalie start daily, unlimited per week for league in signature.

Opinions?

I would have Saros right up beside Mrazek right now. one pulled hammy and the job in Nashville is his. Arizona just traded for Raanta, so Domingue's future is severely limited. I'd move on from him as well. These being your goalies - you really need an upgrade and now. Saros is the only viable option of this list with any predictability.

Korpisalo, Jarry, are both locked behind studs. You need a G boost. Even Markstrom would appear to be an improvement

My rankings would be:

Long-term
Saros
Mrazek

Husso
Korpisalo

Jarry
Lyon

Domingue
Montoya

Next Year
Mrazek/Saros
Korpisalo

Montoya
Domingue
Jarry

Husso
Lyon

Predicting young goalies 5 years down the road is futile, IMO. I'll go with post no. 2...Saros is your best chip...but you really do need to think about an upgrade in goal unless you don't plan on competing any time soon?

[scdakotart2000]

Pretty much have to wait it out or give up the farm to get a goalie. They are insanely priced and valued in this league.

I'm going to play devil's advocate and argue that Mrazek should be above Saros in the long term. Goalies are definitely tough to predict but Mrazek put up a .921 SV% over 54 games in the 15-16 season, and a .918 SV% over 29 the year before. He had the 8th-best even-strength SV% in the league over the 14-15 and 15-16 seasons for goalies who played more than 50 games over that period of time, which puts him ahead of Holtby, Rask, Anderson, Quick, Talbot, etc. Detroit wasn't exactly icing Nashville-calibre defence those years. Yes, he had a horrible 16-17 season... IIRC, Mrazek was asked to play a much different style of game this past year - more conservative and deeper in the net. Whether he stays in Detroit or not, he's still shown he is capable of being a top goaltender and one (very) bad year shouldn't effect his long-term outlook that much.
