(justin goldman's) top 30 goalies ros with rinne

[StoogeRangers]

Every Thursday, Justin Goldman posts his top thirty goalie rankings for the rest of the seaon. He ranks based on games played, wins, saves, and GAA and SP%. His caveat: "It is important to note that our rankings reflect sheer fantasy value, not talent. A less-talented goalie could be ranked higher due to their team's strong defense and offense."

Today he left out Pekka Rinne. Below is my guess at where he should be placed.

I also moved down Price given his injury/the team's careful handling in prep for the playoffs. I moved up Hiller, moved down Lu, and added Enroth.

I didn't look at schedule splits - home versus away, strength of opponents, likelihood of being rested, etc. (Nor did I look at any of the advanced stats like EVSV%, PKSV% or ASV%; or any of the sort Brian Macdonald plays with: http://www.greaterthanplusminus.com/p/goalies.html Feel free to do so.)

I sort of separated groups into gross tiers; in part to make it easier to look thru, but it also helped in thinking about the rankings.

I don't understand how Quick can possible only be the 14th best goalie option ROS. Especially with how well he's been playing lately.
