The top 50 prospect goaltenders to own in keeper leagues – fall, 2017 edition
I made some tweaks and I'm a little happier with how things came out, but still not completely satisfied. I obviously can't use the same formulas and variables used in the regular top goalie list – more emphasis should be on upside here and less emphasis on team strength (because – who knows how strong/weak the team will be by the time the prospect arrives?), and with prospects the 'ideal age' to own them should be different than the ideal age to own an established goalie, so I adjusted that variable as well. I used 39 NHL games as the cutoff. The results:

Good to hear from you, Dobber, hope you are doing well. I like the tweaks you’ve made; the resulting order makes a lot of sense to me. There are some big studs down the list, but they are farther away, and those with the greatest opportunity now are closer to the top.
