Rank these potential first round picks

[tgraveline]

Ok so my league is trying to find a way to make the league more competitive by limiting how many goalies we can keep this summer before next year to two per team. I've gone through some of these teams and guessed who I think they would keep and thus drop, as if I were their owner. Some had 4 solid goalies so these guys are decent. Now I got third out of 10 this last season, so I get the 8th pick.

Here is who's available:


Anderson
Lehner
Bernier
Varlamov
Schneider
S. Mason
Brodeur
C. Mason
Halak
Reimer
Nabokov
C. Crawford
N. Backstrom
Giguere
Rask
Dubnyk
Gustavsson
Markstrom

How would you rank them so I can get an idea of who I might be able to select with my first pick. Granted I don't know if all the teams will pick a goalie first or not in this draft. I just know that I will and at least two others will as we've discussed it. Thanks everyone.

My Top 3 are Crawford, Halak, and probably Rask at this point. Although instead of Rask it could be Lehtonen that he lets go. We'll see though.

Will this two goalie thing continue on after this season or is it a one time thing? Is this for the team in your signature?

[tgraveline]

It's for the team in my signature, which I can only keep two of those goalies, so I'm trying to trade some for better offense and defense. I'm not sure if we are going to do this again next year or not. Should be interesting.

if you want to go for the win, i think Brodeur has to be tops on your list. He will have a rebound season

Assuming you are in a position to win in the next two years, and looking at your roster I would think you are then:
1.Brodeur
2.Halak
3.C. Crawford

Rask and Varlamov would give you the Boston or Washington Golies too so that's something to consider. Especially Rask.

[tgraveline]

Okay, then who would follow those guys in order? So if you have Brodeur, Halak, and Crawford leading this lest, then who are the subsequent goalies? Could Bernier or Markstrom become higher than those like Anderson or Dubnyk, Mason or Backstrom?

[A Watch]

I would say Anderson then bernier the markstrom. Anderson is the number 1 right now, bernier is super talented but part of a duo and markstom is a few years off befor he will really shine

My top 5 goes:

Brodeur
Halak
C. Crawford
N. Backstrom
S. Mason
