First off, BIG congrats and thank you to Dobbs and everyone else who worked on the Fantasy Prospects Report. Awesome job all around!

I do, however, have a question regarding the the goaltender upsides. I mean some of these are self-explanatory, but in what order would you rank, say, Above-average NHL starter, Decent NHL starter, Solid NHL starter and Quality NHL starter? Or in what order would you rank an Average NHL Starter vs. an NHL Starter? And where does the the Hidden Gem fit in all of this?

I can generally figure it out, but I'd like to know how you rank them, since I probably have at least a couple who would be out-of-place.

Here's the order I came up with, from highest to lowest upside:
- Superstar goalie
- Elite NHL starter
- Solid NHL Starter
- Quality NHL starter
- Hidden NHL Gem
- Above-average NHL starter
- Durable NHL Starter
- Decent NHL starter
- NHL Starter
- Average NHL Starter
- 1A NHL starter
- 1B Starter
- Fringe NHL Starter
- Solid NHL backup
- NHL Backup
- Fringe NHL Backup
- Bench Warmer
- Assistant Bench Warmer

Did I get something close to the order that the Dobber staff uses? Am I at least in the same ballpark? Or did I completely miss the boat and not understand what the goalie upside is for?

Thanks a bunch and keep up the excellence!

I also welcome the Dobber community's input.

L8R everyone!

I can only provide my own input, but I see it this way:

- Superstar goalie
- Elite NHL starter
- Quality NHL starter
- Solid NHL Starter
- Above-average NHL starter
- Durable NHL Starter
- NHL Starter
- Hidden NHL Gem
- Decent NHL starter
- Average NHL Starter
- 1A NHL starter
- 1B Starter
- Fringe NHL Starter
- Solid NHL backup
- NHL Backup
- Fringe NHL Backup
- Bench Warmer
- Assistant Bench Warmer

Justin Goldman wrote whatever he felt, and I put it in as is. There is no order for the goalies. I wish I could pull out a scientific process to explain it to you and make myself and the staff look brilliant, but that would just be fluff. I just go with my guy. But as a fantasy owner, I'm interested in any NHL starters (except 1A and 1B) and Hidden Gem. No interest in the others.
