the 19th annual Fantasy Hockey Guide was released just a couple of days ago. That’s right, I’ve earned your trust for 19 years. You can order your digital copy here for immediate download, or for another $5 you can get the Fantasy Prospects Report along with it (Value $14.99) here.

As always, players within the same tier should be considered equal value, and at that point become a matter of team needs (immediate help vs wait time, rebuilding vs. going for it, etc.) or personal preference.

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.

Sept	Goalie	Team	Rating	Aug	Tier
1	Connor Hellebuyck	WPG	104.0	1	0
2	Igor Shesterkin	NYR	89.8	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	Stuart Skinner	EDM	81.5	4	1
4	Ilya Sorokin	NYI	79.0	5	1
5	Andrei Vasilevskiy	TBL	75.8	6	1
6	Jake Oettinger	DAL	74.1	7	1
7	Alexandar Georgiev	COL	73.7	8	1
8	Thatcher Demko	VAN	71.7	3	1
9	Juuse Saros	NSH	69.6	9	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. (When we see Swayman sign, he’ll shoot up to Tier 1)

10	Jeremy Swayman	BOS	77.1	10	2

14	Joseph Woll	TOR	56.7	14	2
15	Linus Ullmark	OTT	56.2	15	2

Tier 3

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

16	Dustin Wolf	CGY	80.1	16	3
17	Pyotr Kochetkov	CAR	70.2	17	3
18	Tristan Jarry	PIT	62.0	18	3
19	Jordan Binnington	STL	59.9	19	3
20	Sam Montembeault	MON	59.3	20	3
21	Connor Ingram	UTA	54.6	21	3
22	Samuel Ersson	PHI	54.3	22	3
23	Logan Thompson	WAS	53.6	23	3
24	Filip Gustavsson	MIN	48.4	24	3
25	Vitek Vanecek	SJS	45.3	25	3
26	Frederik Andersen	CAR	45.1	26	3
27	John Gibson	ANA	42.1	27	3
28	Darcy Kuemper	LAK	38.1	28	3
29	Ville Husso	DET	36.0	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.
