Rank ‘me - Best Goalies to start a dynasty fantasy team

[jtloveshack]

I will preface this with - goalies are voodoo (I am excluding Vasi and Helle from the list).....however, how would you rank the following young goalies to start a H2H points 32-team dynasty fantasy team(Cats are GA = -1, OL+SOL = 1.75, SV = 0.2, SHO = 5 and W = 3.5):

Carter Hart
Jordan Binnington
Igor Shesterkin
Juuse Saros
Elvis Merzlinkins
Mackenzie Blackwood
Ilya Samsonov
Ilya Sororkin
John Gibson

Thanks very much and will REP where I can. If there is anyone missing from the list, please include them. I appreciate all the knowledge on this site!

Carter Hart - young goalie on an up and coming team
Igor Shesterkin - young goalie on an up and coming team
Ilya Sorokin - AS long as he makes it there while Trotz and the current system are in place.
John Gibson - young goalie and Anaheim has to get better sometime
Jordan Binnington - Blues are still good... but could be on the downswing. Can they keep Pietrangelo
Ilya Samsonov/Jusse Saros - These guys are getting the starting goalie gig at an inopportune time as they are teams I expect to see on the downswing.
Blackwood - I just don't think New Jersey has the makeup to be competitive in the near future.
Merzlinkins - Korpisalo is also young and in competition for the gig. so the battle is something I wanna avoid.

Hart and Shesterkin are the top two young goalies out there and you will find most will say one or the other. If you read this thread, you'll find varying opinions on both and who some folks prefer.

For me, from this list, my group would go like:

Sheshterkin
Hart
Samsonov
Binnington
Gibson
Saros
Merzlikins
Sorokin
Blackwood

Sorokin is still a couple years away from possibly stealing away the crease so he slides down my list for now.

I really don't like what I saw from Binnington this season and especially in the playoffs. I've read a few things that suggest with his larger sample size now, he's an average if not slightly below average goalie.

Really these 2 are the top by a decent margin:

Hart
Shesterkin

Then something like:

Samsonov
Gibson
Saros
Sorokin (will take a little bit of time but should rise up this list to near the top after a year or two)
Merzlikins
Binnington
Blackwood (great goalie but worst team by a long shot)

Why is Hellebuyck not in this list? Was he taken already?

He was excluded. But yes, I agree Hellebuyck and some of the other goalies that are good right now and on good teams.

Don't always build with the young and upcoming guys, cause in dynasty drafts it seems like majority doing that. I have heard from someone on the forums that Crosby went in the 4th round of their dynasty draft this summer... so there will be value for you to get a couple championships under your belt if all the other teams focus young. When they Zig... you Zag.

Agreed.

My ranking would be as follows:
Hart
[Hellebuyck]

Sheshterkin
Gibson
Samsonov
Blackwood
Saros

Binnington
Sorokin
Merzlikins

[Dr.Brad]

Markstrom not on this list???? Why? Kuemper???

[Eskimo Brother]

Hart/Helle/Vas
Binnington/Stesty
Samsonov/Sorokin/Markstrom
Lehner/Andersen
Saros/Elvis/Gibson/Blackwood
Francouz/Rittich/Korpisalo
Bob/Murray/Jarry/etc/etc/etc

[Dr.Brad]

Rittich and Murray over (etc)Kuemper? Alex, he deserves more love than that! Or are those two draft picks actually the apocalypse?

Sure, Toss Kuemper in there somewhere between Gibson and Korpi.

I don't know how you define young but here are how I would rank the top 8 goalies if I was drafting in a new dynasty league:

Vasilevski
Hellebuyck
Hart
Gibson
Kuemper
Bishop
Markstrom
Lehner

Very surprised to see Ben Bishop and not Shesterkin.

I am not a believer in Shesterkin at all. I am consistent in that.

That you have been.
