Below are the first three tiers. I posted the an additional two tiers over at Goalie Post here (as well as a few bonus names to watch).

Tier 0

The only goalies who are completely safe owns, and elite owns. They’ll give you plenty of wins, fewer losses, and good peripheral stats. They generally don’t get hurt, and are fairly consistent. Yes, this Tier is a small one.

Dec ’21	Goalie	Team	Rating	Nov	Tier
1	Andrei Vasilevskiy	TBL	95.6	1	0
2	Connor Hellebuyck	WPG	93.3	2	0

Tier 1

Good goaltenders who are the clear starters for their team. They are generally going to be safe picks, they should give you solid stats, and each one has upside for greatness in the coming seasons.

Dec	Goalie	Team	Rating	Nov	Tier
3	Juuse Saros	NSH	82.0	5	1
4	Igor Shesterkin	NYR	81.5	3	1
5	Ilya Sorokin	NYI	79.6	4	1
6	Frederik Andersen	CAR	79.6	6	1
7	Tristan Jarry	PIT	77.5	7	1
8	Elvis Merzlikins	CBJ	73.8	9	1
9	Jacob Markstrom	CGY	73.3	10	1
10	Jack Campbell	TOR	72.3	20	1
11	Robin Lehner	VGK	67.7	13	1
12	Sergei Bobrovsky	FLA	67.6	12	1

Tier 2

Either clear-cut number one goalies, but on weaker teams. Or they are in a shared situation right now, but with tremendous upside in the future. Or they are on top teams but have a shaky track record of late. There is some risk here but also some upside.

A mix of 1B goalies with upside, fading veterans, or top prospects who are very close to making the jump.
