    Default Goalie Draft Help

    League in sig with keepers.

    These are the "top" goalies available in my league for draft. I own the 1st, 13th, 21st, 24th and 25th overall picks. Where should I be looking to pick my first goalie. Keep in mind 6 of 12 teams kept at least one goalie and one of those guys doesn't have a pick until the 5th round.

    Bishop
    Rinne
    Price
    Gibson
    Binnington
    Murray
    Hart
    Grubauer
    Jones
    H2H - 3 keepers (4 year max.) - 12 teams - 2 C, 2 RW, 2 LW, 1 F, 4 D, 1 Util., 2 G, 3 Bench, IR, IR+, IR+

    Skaters - G, A, P, +/-, SOG, PPP, HIT, BLK
    Goalies - W, GAA, SV%, SV

    C - McDavid, Crosby, Kyrou
    RW - Kuch, P. Kane, Batherson, Wilson
    LW - Fiala, Hagel, Verhaeghe
    D - Dahlin, Hedman, Morrissey, Theodore, Dunn
    G - Hellebuyck, Ullmark, Binnington
    IR - Sergachev

    who are the top players available?

    I'd be inclined to take a G with #13 to give me that anchor. I doubt more than 3/6 take a G in the 1st round.
    By you not taking one at #1, it could let others relax on the G trigger too.

    Rantanen is going to be my #1 pick. There are quite a few good available players like Barkov, Hedman, Bergeron, Malkin, Aho, Josi. Draft is pretty stacked and I feel like goalies should last until the second or third even for a decent guy. Out of those guys who are you inclined to take?

    Bishop
    Price
    Binnington
    Rinne
    Grubauer

    would be the order of my top 5.
    Some reasoning:
    Dallas is a solid D-first team
    Price has steadily improved the last two seasons & team is also better
    Binn - stud, but not ready to annoint him over the other two.
    Rinne's lower due to limted starts.
    Grubs - it's his to lose & Col. will only be better this year

    the others:
    history doesn't support Hart having monster stats.
    Murray can't play 50 games
    Gibson plays for the Ducks
    Jones is a W machine, but is a black hole to all GAA/SVPCT

    I'm not as acquainted with goalie cats as others but I'll give it a shot:

    Tier 1: Very good but have caveats/risks, but at least you have a #1G in them
    Price: I place more faith in him now that he has performed well for 2 years + MTL is on the rise. He is my number one. Possibility of injury but less than some others on this list.
    Binnington: The only thing that impact his value is the skepticism that he can be as good as last year. Still, he won the damn Stanley Cup, he thus has a leg up on others in my mind.
    Bishop : strong numbers but lengthy history of injuries, I'm lower on him than most. So 3rd.

    Rinne: One year removed of the Vezina, the problem will be his limited starts especially if they want to keep him healthy. He could be on the tier 2 list if you think Saaros is coming this year.

    Tier 2: Good but higher risks of blowing out, only as 2nd / 3rd goalies
    Hart : I'd rather roll the dice on him than on others down the list but it would be normal if he had rough stretches during the year.
    Gibson: Excellent numbers but ANA won't win much + he gets injured every year unfortunately. So sad.

    Jones: Gets you the wins but has notably poor saving %...
    Murray: PIT is trending down, injured often and has subpar streches (he's very frustrating to own...)

    Grubauer: He will win but it's still hard for him right now to be the starter. But his stock is raising at least.
    10-team Pts only, 19-man roster, 9F, 4D, 2G, 4bench 95M cap league
    F: T.Tompson Pasta Kaprizov Rantanen Gaudreau Necas Greig Zegras Vilardi
    D: Josi Bouchard Sandin Sanheim
    G Shesterkin Samsonov
    B: Woll Perfetti Poitras
    Farm: Guenther, Will Smith
