Top 50 Fantasy Prospect Goaltenders – Fall, 2020
Dobber

Here are the Top 50 prospect goaltenders to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – Fall edition!
Twice annually, I pull out all the prospects from my main list and assign them a new formula. This one stresses upside, certainty and wait time, with less (but still some) emphasis on immediate wins and current quality of the team. Unlike with the regular goalie rankings, I pay less attention to the tiers since most of them are in tiers 4-6 anyway. This is actually a ranking of preference, though I still apply the rule that goalies within +/-5.0 rating points of each other should be considered equal.
Soon, the NHL will announce the official start date for the 2020-21 NHL season, so we can finally set some draft dates! Already available is the 15th annual Fantasy Hockey Guide and the 13th annual Fantasy Prospects Report (get them both at a steeeep discount via the Keeper League Fantasy Pack found here). I can safely say that it’s the best Guide on the market right now. And as soon as the NHL announces the length of the schedule, all projections will be revised to match the appropriate games played.
