Here are the top 100 goaltenders to own in your points-only dynasty leagues – August edition!

But first, OUT NOW and UPDATED today: The 20th edition – Dobber’s Fantasy Hockey Guide! Buy it on its own here, or package it with the Prospects Report here.

As always, I advise using the ‘Tier’ system. The root of the popular ‘Zero G’ system, it is basically all about waiting as long as you can before choosing a goalie. One goalie within a tier is the same as any other. If you want to come out of your draft with a couple of reliable goalies, grab two from Tier 2 as late as you possibly can. When you see the goalies start to come off the board and you don’t think any in the first couple of tiers will get back to you in your draft slot – then that’s when you strike. If you’ve been burned over the years at goaltending, you may want to focus on a pair of Tier 1s, which would likely mean grabbing them a little early – but again, wait until you believe there won’t be any left for your next pick.

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.

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.

Tier 5
Decent prospects who are still a bit away, backup goalies on below average teams, number three goalies who could get called into emergency action for a lengthy stint

I do have a more goalies to round out the Top 100, but they are in Tier 5 plus a few higher rated ones in Tier 6. I have the rest of this list over at goaliepost.com (click ‘rankings’ at the bottom).

Tier 6
Prospects who are a long ways off (18 or 19 years old). Veterans with NHL experience who may get called up in an emergency. Free agents who might get signed to help a team.
