I have to disagree. First off, Price was injured last year. He isn't the flavour of the year, he is Carey f***cking Price. But my opinion of him aside:
When it comes to goalies, I agree that the difference between the 6th goalie and the 13th goalie may not be that large, so why waste an early pick on a goalie? In my opinion, goalie disparity isn't necessarily on skill / pt production, but on reliability of the play as well. Can I play him every single matchup and feel safe (HUGE deal in H2H leagues)? Does he start the season strong and then fall off later in the year (cough *Niemi)? Is there other wild card factors relating to the team?
Its difficult to predict exactly where those goalies will end up, and breaking into an upper tier is a valuable commodity. In this scoring system (W=2pt. SO=3 more pts), the spread on the 1st and 13th goalies last year is 39pts (105pts for Holtby vs 66pts for Schneider). That's a massive spread. There is a very clear upper tier with 2-3 goalies tops, a second tier with maybe 6-7 goalies, and a 3rd tier with starters that fall outside of that.
