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 |
| 11 | Sergei Bobrovsky | FLA | 69.1 | 11 | 2 |
| 12 | Jacob Markstrom | NJD | 67.5 | 12 | 2 |
| 13 | Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen | BUF | 59.4 | 13 | 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.
| 30 | Devon Levi | BUF | 60.0 | 30 | 4 |
| 31 | Joey Daccord | SEA | 54.4 | 31 | 4 |
| 32 | Adin Hill | VGK | 53.6 | 32 | 4 |
| 33 | Yaroslav Askarov | SJS | 45.5 | 33 | 4 |
| 34 | Ivan Fedotov | PHI | 42.9 | 34 | 4 |
| 35 | Arturs Silovs | VAN | 42.9 | 50 | 4 |
| 36 | Joel Hofer | STL | 42.7 | 35 | 4 |
| 37 | Elvis Merzlikins | CBJ | 39.5 | 36 | 4 |
| 38 | Jesper Wallstedt | MIN | 39.4 | 37 | 4 |
| 39 | Lukas Dostal | ANA | 38.6 | 38 | 4 |
| 40 | Ilya Samsonov | VGK | 38.0 | 39 | 4 |
