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.
| May 22 | Goalie | Team | Rating | Apr 22 | Tier |
| 1 | Andrei Vasilevskiy | TBL | 98.8 | 1 | 0 |
| 2 | Igor Shesterkin | NYR | 90.8 | 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 | 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 | 78.4 | 8 | 1 |
| 9 | Sergei Bobrovsky | FLA | 75.0 | 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 | UFA | 69.1 | 11 | 2 |
| 12 | Elvis Merzlikins | CBJ | 66.4 | 12 | 2 |
| 13 | Jeremy Swayman | BOS | 62.6 | 13 | 2 |
| 14 | Jake Oettinger | DAL | 61.7 | 15 | 2 |
| 15 | Darcy Kuemper | UFA | 58.7 | 14 | 2 |
| 16 | Robin Lehner | VGK | 56.6 | 16 | 2 |
| 17 | Carey Price | MON | 44.3 | 17 | 2 |
Tier 3
A mix of 1B goalies with upside, fading veterans, or top prospects who are very close to making the jump.
| 18 | Cam Talbot | MIN | 62.9 | 20 | 3 |
| 19 | John Gibson | ANA | 61.3 | 19 | 3 |
| 20 | Spencer Knight | FLA | 61.2 | 21 | 3 |
| 21 | Carter Hart | PHI | 60.4 | 18 | 3 |
| 22 | Ville Husso | UFA | 59.8 | 23 | 3 |
| 23 | Jordan Binnington | STL | 56.8 | 22 | 3 |
| 24 | Cal Petersen | LAK | 55.7 | 24 | 3 |
| 25 | Karel Vejmelka | ARI | 50.7 | 25 | 3 |
| 26 | Alex Nedeljkovic | DET | 50.0 | 26 | 3 |
| 27 | Vitek Vanecek | WAS | 45.7 | 27 | 3 |
| 28 | Mackenzie Blackwood | NJD | 43.7 | 28 | 3 |
| 29 | Ilya Samsonov | WAS | 43.2 | 29 | 3 |
Tier 4
The starting goalies on terrible teams, backup goalies on great teams, some very good prospects who are getting closer – and everything in between. With the right bounces, some of these goalies may become stars. Some will see their last career NHL game this season. Lots of risk here.
| 30 | Kaapo Kahkonen | SJS | 53.7 | 30 | 4 |
| 31 | Eric Comrie | UFA | 50.0 | 34 | 4 |
| 32 | Marc-Andre Fleury | UFA | 46.9 | 31 | 4 |
| 33 | Linus Ullmark | BOS | 44.5 | 32 | 4 |
| 34 | Dan Vladar | CGY | 44.2 | 35 | 4 |
| 35 | Semyon Varlamov | NYI | 42.9 | 33 | 4 |
| 36 | Alexandar Georgiev | NYR | 42.1 | 36 | 4 |
| 37 | Anton Forsberg | OTT | 42.0 | 37 | 4 |
| 38 | Matt Murray | OTT | 41.0 | 38 | 4 |
| 39 | Magnus Hellberg | UFA | 38.0 | 80 | 4 |
| 40 | Yaroslav Askarov | NSH | 37.9 | 39 | 4 |
| 41 | James Reimer | SJS | 37.4 | 40 | 4 |
| 42 | Logan Thompson | VGK | 35.6 | 43 | 4 |
| 43 | Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen | BUF | 34.9 | 44 | 4 |
| 44 | Pavel Francouz | COL | 33.9 | 45 | 4 |
| 45 | Philipp Grubauer | SEA | 29.9 | 42 | 4 |
| 46 | Jonathan Quick | LAK | 28.9 | 47 | 4 |
| 47 | Anthony Stolarz | ANA | 26.3 | 48 | 4 |
| 48 | Mike Smith | EDM | 23.8 | 49 | 4 |
Tier 5
Mostly prospects here with varying degrees of upside and wait time. As well, there are a few veteran backups sprinkled in there. In the case of the latter, they would need a lot of help and opportunity to do anything for you in your league. In the case of the former, the better their upside the longer their wait time. The prospects here are worth owning in deeper leagues, but the backups are only worth grabbing off the wire if the starter gets hurt.
