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 should be valued by tiers. Two goalies within the same tier offer a balance of different things, and 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.

For free starting goalie information, notifications, save projections – and win/loss projections, pick up the Goalie Post app for iOS here… and for Android here.

Here are the first three tiers. To go deeper and get the full 100, visit goaliepost.com and click ‘rankings’ at the bottom. Or simply open the Goalie Post app on your phone, which I’m sure you have because you’re so damn smart!

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.

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.

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.

Tier 3

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