Re: Case to be made? - Grubauer
I think there's a good chance he will be top 10 next year, but nothing is guaranteed (especially when it comes to goal-tending).
Beyond Vasilevskiy, there aren't many "sure things" in the NHL right now. My personal top 5 (based solely on fantasy value) is fairly set. After that, there are so many goalies that are virtually interchangeable atm, and Grubauer is right in the mix with the likes of Dubnyk, Binnington, Lehner, Mrazek, Rask, Fleury, etc.
My top 5:
Vasilevskiy
Andersen
Holtby
Hellebuyck
Bobrovsky (assuming Florida)
12 team, H2H, salary cap
1 pt/G or A, 2 pts/W, 1 pt/OTL, 1 pt/SO
Forward: B. Point, M. Necas, A. Debrincat, T. Zegras, J. Bratt, L. Raymond
Defense: J. Morrissey, A. DeAngelo, S. Gostisbehere, D. Doughty
Goalie: T. Demko, E. Merzlikins
Bench: M. Rossi, C. Glass, M. Maccelli, M. Dumba, K. Shattenkirk, F. Andersen
Prospects of Note: L. Stankoven, J. Lekkerimaki, D. Yurov, B. Clarke
