Various CATS and scoring systems dramatically affect the answer. Salary Cap dramatically affects the answer.
No Cap. 2 point wins, 3 point SO.
Consideration to production for Fantasy points, not whether someone else is a better goaltender. Some great goaltenders aren't at or near the top of the list because they're not in the right town.
1. Lundqvist (large margin)
2. Rinne (worried about team dropping off)
3. Quick (Conn Smythe...)
4. Fleury (excellent team, offsets Vokoun)
5. Rask (no longer a backup)
6. Schneider (no Luongo) - (I'm assuming Luongo departs. These assumptions make monkeys out of the predictors)
7. Bryz (I believe in the rebound)
8. Howard (you don't leave Detroit off this list)
9. Luongo (it won't matter what town he's in, he'll be good)
10. Miller (middling Buffalo)
HM
Price (too bad team stinks, his talent is definitely top 5)
Ward (is Carolina improving?)
Lehtonen (this guy gets no respect. Top 5 talent)
Niemi (decent team... he's got a ring...)
Kipper (old or not, he gets the job done)
Anderson (he gets the starts)
Halak (1A/1B scenario)
Smith (I don't trust Phoenix)
Hiller (big time starter, average team, some health)
Crawford (backup starting for a great team?)
Backstrom (this guy gets no respect. Minny improving?)
Pavelec (middling Winnipeg. Steadily establishing himself)
Brodeur (yeah, he's old... but with a two year contract!)
Muddled:
Toronto, Florida, Isles, TB, Edmonton, Columbus, Colorado, Washington
