Capped: Goaltenders Not Wallet Benders

The five biggest bargain goaltenders for your capped league.
As we head into the second half of this NHL season, we have seen some players who are giving their team excellent value for the cap hit they are commanding. In today's Capped, I am going to take a look at five goalies that have been nothing but money (figuratively but not literally) for their respective NHL clubs.
- 1.Frederik Andersen – ANA

Freddy Andersen has been nothing short of a godsend for the potent Anaheim Ducks this year. The former third round pick in 2012, Andersen just re-signed last off-season with the Ducks for two more years at a cap hit of only $1.15M. Imagine that, they are getting a top end goalie in the NHL for a measly $1.15M this year and next.
As I type this, Andersen is tied for fourth in the NHL for total starts, and second in the NHL in Wins. He holds down a solid save percentage of 0.919 and his 2.24 goals against average is the fifth best in the league for goalies who have started at least 15 games this year.
Andersen was recently invited to play in the All-Star game as an injury replacement for Sergei Bobrovsky but had to decline because he wasn't well himself.
Andersen, the #1 Bang-for-the-Buck goalie for the first half of this NHL season. Oh, and in case you missed it, he just matched an NHL record for quickest to 47 wins, tying Bill Durham, who had previously set the record back in 1944.
- 2.Braden Holtby – WSH
