5 Rask
6 Howard

This is not a list of who I think is the best goalie, merely based on what you are looking for, weighted more by starts/W's then shutouts, as I find shutouts are pretty tough to predict. That said if you want to go pure value in a keeper league Rask would jump up right by Bryz.

I think Rinne is the sleeper. Everyone knows about how good Rask is and will be and same with Bryzgalov but Rinne is not that far behind. He has no competition in Nashville for starts now.

Man I hope you're right. Rinne is my only (starting) goalie entering the draft (after I traded away both Price and Bernier to land OV/Neuvirth), so I hope he has a big season. Not sure who will be available come draft day....

I agree, big things for Rinne... a break out season of sorts... meaning he'll be high in starts, and shutouts... maybe the only knock would be Wins:

Goalie/GP/W/SO
Rask 59/32/6
Bryzgalov 69/38/4
Anderson 70/35/4 (if they ever get in a playoff "comfort" position, they may rest him a lot late in the season - you know, right when you need his points most for fantasy playoffs)
Halak 67/34/5
Howard 71/40/3
Rinne 72/36/6

There is really no value to my prediction here... this is just going by hunch based on what I know about respective team direction and style, competition in net, and what I've been reading regarding projections...
