Last month I did some tweaking. I had increased the values of prospect goaltenders who I consider elite, in the formula. I also penalized (further) the lifetime backup goalies with little hope of becoming a starter. I still recommend valuing goalies based on their tiers, but the ratings are a little better now (still not perfect). Because this is for points-only keepers, emphasis is on quality starts, wins, saves and shutouts both immediate and longer term.

📢 advertisement:

Goalies within the same tier should be considered equal value and at that point you should value based on personal taste or team needs. My ranking tries to separate that a bit, but each league and personality is different.
