Top 100 Keeper League Goalies – May 2017

2017-05-26

The Top 100 goaltenders to own in a fantasy hockey keeper league – May edition.

This month, just some tweaking on the prospects mostly. After all – the Fantasy Prospects Report (pick it up here) is out on June 1 so a lot of research has been done on the kids over the past two months! Goalies within the same Tier are pretty much the same value. Please take that into consideration.

With the recent move to a new and upgraded server, there are still some fixes needed on some of the sites, including Goalie Post. So I'll include the Full Top 100 right here, rather than posting it over there this month

I understand that you ultimately value ‘tiers’ in your ranking system; but why do those tiers not correspond to the player’s ‘rating’, and ultimately their place on the list?

  Great question. The tiers are nice and stable over a long term, so it’s safer and smarter to go by those. Where as the ratings bounce up and down a little based on short-term circumstances as well as long-term. Fleury creeps up into the Tier 1 group for ratings because his circumstances are going to change…and maybe he gets to Tier 1 based on that, or maybe his rating will tumble and he’s firmly with the Tier 2s. We’ll know soon enough. Further down the list, the tiers get based more on prospect upside down the road – team values the 5’s more than the 6s, for example

Grubauer is a little low.

  He’s in Tier 3 until/if Vegas picks him, then he’ll move up to Tier 2

Based on analytics, whom in Tier 3 could really take off this coming year?

Why are you so low on Vasilevskiy? The consensus seems to be that he will be a top 10 to 15 goalie in 2017-18 and given his young age I would think that would bode well for him as a keeper?
