Top 100 Keeper League Goaltenders – July 2025

2025-07-10
Here are the Top 100 goaltenders to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – July edition!
But first, coming in less than three weeks (July 29), the 20th edition – Dobber’s Fantasy Hockey Guide! Buy it on its own here, or package it with the recently released Prospects Report here.

For this month, I have updated the teams and latest moves. I also added 2025 drafted prospects.
As always, players within the same tier should be considered equal and at that point become a matter of personal preference (upside, certainty, injury risk, etc.). Goalies are a fickle bunch, and if you say one is better than the other within these tiers then you’ll be wrong 50% of the time!
Click any player name to be taken to his Frozen Tools fantasy hockey profile page where we bring you line combos, analytics, NHL Edge stats, contract details, etc.
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.
| July ’25 | Goalie | Team | Rating | May ’25 | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Connor Hellebuyck | WPG | 109.3 | 1 | 0 |
| 2 | Andrei Vasilevskiy | TBL | 94.2 | 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 | Jake Oettinger | DAL | 89.6 | 3 | 1 |
| 4 | Ilya Sorokin | NYI | 86.1 | 4 | 1 |
| 5 | Filip Gustavsson | MIN | 85.0 | 5 | 1 |
| 6 | Igor Shesterkin | NYR | 83.3 | 6 | 1 |
| 7 | Mackenzie Blackwood | COL | 77.3 | 7 | 1 |
| 8 | Dustin Wolf | CGY | 75.7 | 8 | 1 |
| 9 | Pyotr Kochetkov | CAR | 74.7 | 9 | 1 |
| 10 | Logan Thompson | WAS | 74.5 | 10 | 1 |
| 11 | Jacob Markstrom | NJD | 68.3 | 11 | 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.
| 12 | Joey Daccord | SEA | 69.5 | 12 | 2 |
| 13 | Sergei Bobrovsky | FLA | 67.2 | 13 | 2 |
| 14 | Jeremy Swayman | BOS | 65.9 | 14 | 2 |
| 15 | Adin Hill | VGK | 64.2 | 15 | 2 |
| 16 | Stuart Skinner | EDM | 63.8 | 16 | 2 |
| 17 | Karel Vejmelka | UTA | 63.1 | 17 | 2 |
| 18 | Linus Ullmark | OTT | 62.8 | 18 | 2 |
| 19 | Juuse Saros | NSH | 62.0 | 19 | 2 |
| 20 | Lukas Dostal | ANA | 60.3 | 20 | 2 |
| 21 | Darcy Kuemper | LAK | 60.1 | 21 | 2 |
| 22 | Sam Montembeault | MON | 56.7 | 22 | 2 |
Tier 3
A mix of 1B goalies with upside, fading veterans, or top prospects who are very close to making the jump.
| 23 | Jordan Binnington | STL | 62.7 | 23 | 3 |
| 24 | Kevin Lankinen | VAN | 55.6 | 24 | 3 |
| 25 | Anthony Stolarz | TOR | 54.8 | 25 | 3 |
| 26 | Joseph Woll | TOR | 51.5 | 26 | 3 |
| 27 | Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen | BUF | 51.5 | 27 | 3 |
| 28 | Yaroslav Askarov | SJS | 50.9 | 28 | 3 |
| 29 | Spencer Knight | CHI | 47.2 | 29 | 3 |
| 30 | Samuel Ersson | PHI | 46.6 | 30 | 3 |
| 31 | Thatcher Demko | VAN | 38.3 | 31 | 3 |
| 45 | John Gibson | DET | 34.8 | 45 | 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.
| 32 | Joel Hofer | STL | 53.8 | 32 | 4 |
| 33 | Elvis Merzlikins | CBJ | 51.1 | 33 | 4 |
| 34 | Devon Levi | BUF | 45.1 | 34 | 4 |
| 35 | Calvin Pickard | EDM | 42.0 | 35 | 4 |
| 36 | Jesper Wallstedt | MIN | 39.6 | 36 | 4 |
| 37 | Alex Nedeljkovic | SJS | 38.3 | 37 | 4 |
| 38 | Leevi Merilainen | OTT | 36.6 | 38 | 4 |
| 39 | Dan Vladar | PHI | 35.5 | 39 | 4 |
| 40 | Eric Comrie | WPG | 36.0 | 40 | 4 |
| 41 | Sebastian Cossa | DET | 35.3 | 41 | 4 |
| 42 | Ilya Samsonov | UFA | 31.5 | 42 | 4 |
| 43 | Tristan Jarry | PIT | 31.3 | 43 | 4 |
| 44 | Frederik Andersen | CAR | 29.0 | 44 | 4 |
| 46 | Charlie Lindgren | WAS | 28.5 | 46 | 4 |
| 47 | Vitek Vanecek | UTA | 28.3 | 47 | 4 |

| 49 | Cam Talbot | DET | 27.1 | 49 | 4 |
| 50 | Joonas Korpisalo | BOS | 24.0 | 50 | 4 |
| 51 | David Rittich | NYI | 27.4 | 51 | 4 |
| 52 | Jake Allen | UFA | 22.6 | 52 | 4 |
| 53 | Connor Ingram | UTA | 21.4 | 53 | 4 |

Why is Andersen so low, compare to Bennington for example?
