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). Goalies within the same tier are generally considered equal value, with varying degrees of reliability, upside, track record, wait time (if a prospect) and proneness to injury.
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.
| Apr 22 | Goalie | Team | Rating | Mar 22 | Tier |
| 1 | Andrei Vasilevskiy | TBL | 98.8 | 1 | 0 |
| 2 | Igor Shesterkin | NYR | 88.8 | 3 | 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 | Connor Hellebuyck | WPG | 88.3 | 3 | 1 |
| 4 | Juuse Saros | NSH | 85.8 | 4 | 1 |
| 5 | Ilya Sorokin | NYI | 83.8 | 5 | 1 |
| 6 | Tristan Jarry | PIT | 81.1 | 6 | 1 |
| 7 | Frederik Andersen | CAR | 80.8 | 7 | 1 |
| 8 | Jacob Markstrom | CGY | 76.4 | 8 | 1 |
| 9 | Sergei Bobrovsky | FLA | 73.0 | 9 | 1 |
| 10 | Thatcher Demko | VAN | 72.6 | 10 | 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.
| 11 | Jack Campbell | TOR | 69.7 | 12 | 2 |
| 12 | Elvis Merzlikins | CBJ | 66.4 | 11 | 2 |
| 13 | Jeremy Swayman | BOS | 64.6 | 14 | 2 |
| 14 | Darcy Kuemper | COL | 64.3 | 15 | 2 |
| 15 | Jake Oettinger | DAL | 63.7 | 16 | 2 |
| 16 | Robin Lehner | VGK | 56.6 | 19 | 2 |
| 17 | Carey Price | MON | 46.3 | 30 | 2 |
Tier 3
A mix of 1B goalies with upside, fading veterans, or top prospects who are very close to making the jump.
| 18 | Carter Hart | PHI | 64.4 | 13 | 3 |
| 19 | John Gibson | ANA | 61.3 | 17 | 3 |
| 20 | Cam Talbot | MIN | 60.9 | 22 | 3 |
| 21 | Spencer Knight | FLA | 59.4 | 23 | 3 |
| 22 | Jordan Binnington | STL | 58.8 | 18 | 3 |
| 23 | Ville Husso | STL | 58.8 | 24 | 3 |
| 24 | Cal Petersen | LAK | 55.7 | 25 | 3 |
| 25 | Karel Vejmelka | ARI | 50.7 | 26 | 3 |
| 26 | Alex Nedeljkovic | DET | 50.0 | 20 | 3 |
| 27 | Vitek Vanecek | WAS | 45.7 | 29 | 3 |
| 28 | Mackenzie Blackwood | NJD | 43.7 | 31 | 3 |
| 29 | Ilya Samsonov | WAS | 43.2 | 21 | 3 |
