next year:

Long term -3yrs
Hart

Please rank these for wins-only:
Saros
Binnington
Lehner
Hart
Bishop
Hutton
Demko
Feel free to tier these into short-term and long-term if that helps.
Obviously tougher to gauge to Lehner who may sign elsewhere as a UFA.
I really like Saros as the heir-apparent to Rinne's crease.
It's also hard to ignore what Hart, Lehner and Binnington accomplished this past season.
Cheers!

Lehner
Hutton
Saros
Demko
Demko is the bottom of the list because he gets the least starts, by far.
Saros is next because he's still only going to get 30-35 starts from Rinne at most.
Hutton gets a 40-45 start share in Buffalo, winning half.
Lehner gets 50 starts with the Isles (or other team like CGY/EDM/CLB) and wins 28 or so.
Binnington slows down a little, and gets about the same 28-32 wins as Lehner.
Hart plays 55+ games for Philly, winning 33.
Bishop wins 35+ on a Dallas team that finishes second in the Central.

Next Year:
Bishop
Lehner - Depending on where he lands could move up or down
Binnington
Hart
Hutton
Saros
Demko
Long term future, Saros/Hart are my favorites. Saros could supplant Rinne in the next couple of years, Hart could develop into a top 10 goalie in the league as well. Bishop starts to slide down as he ages but could have 3-5 solid years left. Binnington is an unknown for me at this time, I'm not as sold on him and I think he settles in as a reliable average NHL goalie with a few great seasons mixed in (think Fleury/Jones/Dubnyk). Hutton will be out of the league by the time his contract is up in 2021. Demko could be solid but is still below the other young guys on your list.
Honestly, Lehner is the biggest wildcard for me here. If he lands a #1 gig somewhere that he can play 55-60 games for a solid team, he could be an elite goalie in the league for a couple of seasons. He's still relatively young too. But if he lands in a timeshare on a team that isn't managed well, I could see his career starting to fade again. Hoping he lands in a good situation.
Without me, it's only "aweso".
