Quick.... because he is a decent age and the way the Kings play is good for his peripherals and his wins!
Prepping for draft this year, goalie slots have W, GAA, and SV% as main categories (SOs count as half so not much of a deal there).
top tier goalies available are Quick, Rinne, Lundqvist and Fleury.
who's your top 'tender and why?
Quick.... because he is a decent age and the way the Kings play is good for his peripherals and his wins!
Quick - for reasons above
Rinne - he good and wil lget wins, but he doesnt face alot of shots so when they do get scored on its a big hit
Lundy - just not teh Lundy he used to be, and i dont trust the D right now in NYR
Flower - same as Lundy

Quick is the safest pick here so I'd go with him.
Gonna go against the flow and say Fleury, Rinne, Lundqvist, Quick.
Sure, Quick will still put up good peripherals, but I don't think LA is a playoff team any more, especially not in that division, so he just won't get you a ton of wins.
Lundqvist might be slipping a bit, largely because of the shaky D in New York, but I still think he's more likely to put up wins than Quick, and likely equal or better peripherals.
Rinne should bounce back this season, but I don't think he ever gets back to putting up elite GAA or SV% numbers. His value should come mostly in wins, since Nashville looks great again this season. Their strong defensive game will definitely help keep Rinne's numbers respectable as well.
Fleury is criminally underrated. Especially with Murray out to start the season, it's his crease in Pittsburgh. Even after Murray gets back, I would expect Fleury to see close to 60 starts all told this year. He's also a great regular season goaltender behind the defending cup champs. He'll put up solid peripherals, and close to 40 wins. He's definitely the best fantasy asset on this list.

Quick
and then maybe Fleury because you can get him cheeper. Past that, I'm looking at the next tier of goalies because I don't want to overdraft Rinne/Hank this year.

(No I don't have a hockey problem...)
thanks for comments all - def food for thought.
cheers and luck in your pools.
I might be late but I'd go:
Lundqvist : Most consistent goalie in the NHL. Plays behind a crappy defense but he's gonna have a huge workload so his wins will be high.
Quick: Most overrated goaltender in the NHL. The Kings have a huge depth problem on D and on F. I see them struggling this year.
Rinne: He's not that good but Nashville is a contender. Will have average SV% but will rack up win.
Fleury: If it wasn't for Murray, he'd be 1st on my list. He will split time which is gonna hurt his wins totals. Should have great SV% and GAA.

Lundquist - no timeshare, no issues with peripherals.
Quick/Fleury - these guys are roughly the same for me. Quick's team should get less wins, but he is going to get more starts, and has decent enough peripherals. Fleury will also have decent peripherals but is less consistent game-to-game, if you have daily starts, he is prone to stinkers.
Rinne - comfortably last. Will likely be below average in SV% & GAA.

thanks gang
I'm going to be even later and say MAF - he got injured and lost his spot - ir wasn't performance based but when he came back he was rusty and the Pens couldn't take the chance of trying to work him back in IMO
