Despite his slow start, I pick Bryzgalov.
- Phoenix has committed to him for the long haul
- Phoenix is on the rise
- he posted excellent numbers last year
- his competitors for the job are not NHL worthy starters and lack this potential
- I wonder that he is on the verge of joining the \'elite\' club of NHL tenders
Leclaire - interesting young tender with fine longterm outlook. Health issues.
Garon - in the right place at the right time. Appears to be securely locking down the starters job.
Theodore - blonde tendencies have been frustrating. He\'s all Washington\'s got.
Ellis - may be underrated at this time. Another steady season and we may be wanting to move him up on this list.
Toskala - wrong place at the wrong time. Good tender.
Smith - weak team, unproven tender
