Here are the first four tiers of the top 100 goaltenders to own in your points only fantasy hockey dynasty league – April edition!

But first – out now and updated right up until the playoffs, Dobber’s 20th (20!!) annual Interactive playoff draft list! Use Dobber’s own picks, or run your own playoff scenario using the brackets provided and print your own list! Preorder it here.

As always, given the fluidity of goalie values, treat goalies within the same Tier as the same value, offering varying degrees of upside, certainty, workload, win potential both immediate and long-term – and more.

The full Top 100 list is over at Goalie Post, so be sure to check out the new-look Goalie Post launched this week. And if you haven’t downloaded the app – why not? No seriously, I’m dying to know.

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.

Apr ’25	Goalie	Team	Rating	Mar ’25	Tier
1	Andrei Vasilevskiy	TBL	94.0	1	0
2	Igor Shesterkin	NYR	88.9	2	0
3	Connor Hellebuyck	WPG	79.2	3	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.

4	Jake Oettinger	DAL	89.8	4	1
5	Logan Thompson	WAS	81.8	7	1
6	Filip Gustavsson	MIN	79.7	5	1
7	Karel Vejmelka	UTA	77.0	12	1
8	Ilya Sorokin	NYI	76.9	6	1
9	Lukas Dostal	ANA	68.8	8	1
10	Mackenzie Blackwood	COL	65.8	10	1
11	Spencer Knight	CHI	59.9	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.

12	Jeremy Swayman	BOS	78.9	11	2
13	Dan Vladar	PHI	77.3	24	2
14	Brandon Bussi	CAR	74.2	13	2
15	Jesper Wallstedt	MIN	70.8	14	2
16	Dustin Wolf	CGY	64.8	15	2
17	Juuse Saros	NSH	59.3	17	2
18	Linus Ullmark	OTT	59.3	19	2
19	Yaroslav Askarov	SJS	56.7	18	2
20	Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen	BUF	53.6	30	2
21	John Gibson	DET	41.7	22	2

Tier 3

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

22	Jet Greaves	CBJ	64.3	26	3
23	Scott Wedgewood	COL	63.6	25	3
24	Jakub Dobes	MON	63.3	27	3
25	Joey Daccord	SEA	61.2	16	3
26	Jacob Fowler	MON	54.2	29	3
27	Joel Hofer	STL	53.2	33	3
28	Stuart Skinner	PIT	51.1	31	3
29	Alex Lyon	BUF	50.0	32	3
30	Sergei Bobrovsky	FLA	49.8	20	3
31	Arturs Silovs	PIT	45.1	28	3
32	Carter Hart	VGK	44.2	52	3
33	Jacob Markstrom	NJD	42.5	34	3
34	Tristan Jarry	EDM	41.0	21	3
35	Joseph Woll	TOR	41.0	35	3
36	Connor Ingram	EDM	40.7	39	3
37	Daniil Tarasov	FLA	39.0	38	3
38	Darcy Kuemper	LAK	38.2	23	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.
