Help me rank theses goalies

[Paquette44]

Hey guys! How would you rank these goalies for my league, only 2 G, starting every games 2 pts for wins, +1 for shutout. I already have sorokin but looking to draft a goalie early in draft. Here's best available:

Saros
Vanecek
Ullmark
Jarry
Samsonov
Bobrovski
Husso
Skinner
Binnington
Kuemper
Gustavsson

What would your top 5 looks like?

Thank you!!

You have Sorokin, who's money in the bank, and you don't count peripherals. It also sounds like you're asking this for drafting - not keeping - purposes. If I was you I'd either go "all in" and try to run away with the goalie category, in which case it'd be Soros who I'd grab, or you wait and grab a guy who should have a high start volume but poor peripherals, like Husso or Binnington. What I wouldn't do though is try to grab a "tweener" since you'll likely have to pay too much for what might not be significant added value.

Thanks guys, ill aim one of these with one of my first rounder!! Would you pick saros instead of Fiala with first overall? I also have the 8th,9th and 11th. Was thinking taking Fiala (who could take the keeper spot of huberdeau or tuch) then 2 good D and with my 11th if the others are slow on taking G. Good strategy? I don't think I can wait with my 5th pick which is a 4th rounder.

8th, 9th and 11th overall?

We don't really know how your league normally goes for drafting, especially for goalies. There is certainly a lot of good goalies there and I would like to think that one of our top 5 would still be there at 8th overall.

If you think there's going to be a big goalie rush early on, then go with the goalie early on. That should also mean that guys like Fiala could make it to you at 8 if everyone else after your 1st pick, and before your 8th, is also drafting goalies.

You know your league better than we do and how the draft may or may not go.

1st overall is probably Fiala or Saros you didn't mention anyone else of note. Both would possibly be keeper upgrades over Tuch/Huberdeau.

You have exactly 1 bench guy, and you probably don't want to roster a goalie in the bench spot. So you want a goalie with either 1st or 8th, unless Saros is gone at 8, but everybody else is still there at 8, and you'll get a good option at 11.

The list of guys I want is short:

Saros
(gap)

3 starters and one more guy:
Jarry
Samsonov
Vanecek
Skinner - I realize Campbell is there, but I think he's their guy.

Gustafsson is not on list due to the fact the name "Fleury" makes people do dumb things like play him too much.

I think you know your league's drafting best. If you're allowed to keep 2 goalies, Saros is my pick at 1. If not, it depends on how you think they will draft, and that leans me to Fiala as a keeper upgrade.

With the goalies available and Sorokin already in tow you can afford to wait on goaltending until that 8, 9, 11 cluster.

Fiala sounds like a good option at 1. Who else is available?
