1-Ward
2-Backstrom
3-Niittimaki
4-Leighton
5-Lehtonen
6-Mason
7-Khabibulin
8-Turco

Turco moves to #3 on this list if Niemi's arbitration goes high, and Marty signs with CHI.

Ward is a stud on a poor team... a team that might surprise though... He's young still and a move could make him top goalie in the league!

Backstrom is very solid... team is stagnant and will be for the foreseeable future... his back may be a health concern.

Niitty can be solid, but I would think they try working Greiss in now! SJ will win a lot regardless!

Leighton has no real competition...yet. Good defense makes him look better than he is... he should be working on 5-hole as we speak.

Lehtonen can move to #2 on this list if he can just stay healthy! No competition and he is full of skill. His track record makes us all apprehensive... but things look very good right now. I'd be curious if anyone has inside info on his approach to training this summer to stay in shape... something he's never put much stock into and it showed big time!

Mason will be good for this season only... poor team.

Khabibulin.... crapshoot... his team could be improved... could be stinky...tough division... and what's up with his legal status and moreover... his health status... and he's old balls! Young goalies coming up there too...


These guys switch around a bit in a 1-year!

nitty
leighton - assuming no one signs in phi
ward
lehtonen
backstrom
mason
khabibulin
turco - right now unsigned, goes up to top of list if he signs in CHI

[Carcillo]

Ward - salary cap hurts his value but still has to be #1 out of these options
Niittymaki - playing behind a great team with a cheap salary
Lehtonen - good contract, just needs to stay healthy
N.Backstrom - too expensive, Minny will suck next year
Turco - IF he ends up in Chicago, if not put him behind Leighton
Leighton - not a good long-term solution
C.Mason - not a lot of wins
Khabibulin - will he even play?

Ward -
N.Backstrom - Just because the team will suck, doesnt mean he will. See: Henrik Lundqvist
Niittymaki -
C.Mason -
Lehtonen - If he can stay healthy, he goes above Mason. For now, he doesn't.
Turco - IF he ends up in Chicago, put him below Niittymaki.
Leighton - I dont trust him at all this year. He had his nice lil run but will come back down to Earth.
Khabibulin - I wouldnt draft him if I was running mister mcgoo's team, let alone my own.

Yer Leighton remarks don't have anything to do with your allegiance as a fan do they? I have to admit, I love your feedback on dobber, but I always get a little punchy getting the finger from a Ranger fan great avatar!
