Top 50 Fantasy Prospect Goaltenders – Winter 2024

Here are the Top 50 prospect goalies to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – Winter edition!
Out now! The 16th annual Midseason Fantasy Hockey Guide (order it here).
As always, goalies with a rating within +/-5.0 of each other should be considered equal value, and at that point become a matter of your team’s need (rebuild vs. immediate, certain vs. risk, etc.) and/or personal bias. Goalies are a fickle bunch – a horrible goalie this year could be the goalie that wins the Vezina next (ahem – Thatcher Demko). Goalies offer value in a mix of ways – certainty, immediate return, long-term upside, wait time, etc. Askarov has the highest upside on the list…but Ersson is a starting goalie NOW (with Carter Hart likely out long-term). Both Ersson and Kochetkov are on track to win 50 games before Askarov even wins 10. So it’s a balance, and greatly depends on how badly you need help immediately, versus waiting a couple of years for the homerun swing to knock it over the fence.
