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.
| Jan ’21 | Goalie | Team | Rating | Dec | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Andrei Vasilevskiy | TBL | 96.4 | 1 | 0 |
| 2 | Connor Hellebuyck | WPG | 94.1 | 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.
| 3 | Juuse Saros | NSH | 85.4 | 3 | 1 |
| 4 | Igor Shesterkin | NYR | 82.7 | 4 | 1 |
| 5 | Tristan Jarry | PIT | 81.3 | 7 | 1 |
| 6 | Frederik Andersen | CAR | 81.0 | 6 | 1 |
| 7 | Ilya Sorokin | NYI | 79.6 | 5 | 1 |
| 8 | Jack Campbell | TOR | 75.9 | 10 | 1 |
| 9 | Elvis Merzlikins | CBJ | 73.4 | 8 | 1 |
| 10 | Jacob Markstrom | CGY | 71.3 | 9 | 1 |
| 11 | Sergei Bobrovsky | FLA | 69.1 | 12 | 1 |
| 12 | Robin Lehner | VGK | 64.4 | 11 | 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.
| 13 | Thatcher Demko | VAN | 73.6 | 15 | 2 |
| 14 | Carter Hart | PHI | 67.4 | 14 | 2 |
| 15 | John Gibson | ANA | 64.4 | 18 | 2 |
| 16 | Cam Talbot | MIN | 63.9 | 17 | 2 |
| 17 | Jordan Binnington | STL | 63.7 | 16 | 2 |
| 18 | Darcy Kuemper | COL | 60.9 | 20 | 2 |
| 19 | Alex Nedeljkovic | DET | 58.1 | 27 | 2 |
| 20 | Jake Oettinger | DAL | 57.4 | 21 | 2 |
| 21 | Marc-Andre Fleury | CHI | 54.1 | 25 | 2 |
| 22 | Ilya Samsonov | WAS | 52.2 | 22 | 2 |
| 23 | Linus Ullmark | BOS | 51.4 | 26 | 2 |
Tier 3
A mix of 1B goalies with upside, fading veterans, or top prospects who are very close to making the jump.
| 24 | Spencer Knight | FLA | 54.4 | 24 | 3 |
| 25 | Cal Petersen | LAK | 54.4 | 19 | 3 |
| 26 | Kaapo Kahkonen | MIN | 53.1 | 30 | 3 |
| 27 | Tuukka Rask | BOS | 51.3 | 31 | 3 |
| 28 | Carey Price | MON | 49.4 | 23 | 3 |
| 29 | Karel Vejmelka | ARI | 48.7 | 54 | 3 |
| 30 | Mackenzie Blackwood | NJD | 47.4 | 29 | 3 |
| 31 | Vitek Vanecek | WAS | 45.9 | 28 | 3 |
| 32 | Jonathan Quick | LAK | 33.9 | 59 | 3 |
