As always, since goaltenders are so finicky (top fantasy owns one day, six months later nobody touches them with a 10-foot pole, but six months after that they are top owns again), go by the tiering system. Two goalies in the same tier have equal value in this format. Do not look beyond three years ahead, because a goalie with no value could suddenly have value, all in a matter of weeks.
Click any player name to be taken to his scouting profile section and get everything you need in order to evaluate the player. Here are the top three tiers.
Important Note: For tiers four through seven you will have to visit Goalie Post (or check it out via the app!)
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.
| Sept. ’23 | Goalie | Team | Rating | Aug. ’23 | Tier |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Igor Shesterkin | NYR | 93.2 | 1 | 0 |
| 2 | Andrei Vasilevskiy | TBL | 92.9 | 2 | 0 |
| 3 | Connor Hellebuyck | WPG | 92.8 | 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 | Ilya Sorokin | NYI | 86.1 | 4 | 1 |
| 5 | Alexandar Georgiev | COL | 85.3 | 5 | 1 |
| 6 | Jake Oettinger | DAL | 82.9 | 6 | 1 |
| 7 | Juuse Saros | NSH | 79.9 | 7 | 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.
| 8 | Filip Gustavsson | MIN | 72.3 | 8 | 2 |
| 9 | Vitek Vanecek | NJD | 72.3 | 9 | 2 |
| 10 | Thatcher Demko | VAN | 68.2 | 10 | 2 |
| 11 | Linus Ullmark | BOS | 67.1 | 11 | 2 |
| 12 | Tristan Jarry | PIT | 66.8 | 12 | 2 |
| 13 | Ilya Samsonov | TOR | 63.6 | 13 | 2 |
| 14 | Sergei Bobrovsky | FLA | 61.3 | 14 | 2 |
| 15 | Stuart Skinner | EDM | 60.7 | 15 | 2 |
Tier 3
A mix of 1B goalies with upside, fading veterans, or top prospects who are very close to making the jump.
| 16 | Jeremy Swayman | BOS | 59.6 | 17 | 3 |
| 17 | Jordan Binnington | STL | 59.4 | 18 | 3 |
| 18 | Carter Hart | PHI | 57.3 | 16 | 3 |
| 19 | Jacob Markstrom | CGY | 56.9 | 19 | 3 |
| 20 | Ville Husso | DET | 56.6 | 20 | 3 |
| 21 | Karel Vejmelka | ARI | 56.2 | 21 | 3 |
| 22 | Frederik Andersen | CAR | 55.9 | 22 | 3 |
| 23 | Logan Thompson | VGK | 49.8 | 23 | 3 |
| 24 | Pheonix Copley | LAK | 48.5 | 24 | 3 |
| 25 | Joonas Korpisalo | OTT | 47.8 | 25 | 3 |
| 26 | Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen | BUF | 46.9 | 26 | 3 |
| 27 | John Gibson | ANA | 46.6 | 27 | 3 |
| 28 | Darcy Kuemper | WAS | 44.6 | 28 | 3 |
| 29 | Adin Hill | VGK | 43.6 | 29 | 3 |

UPL over Levi? Not sure about that one.
I can’t put Levi higher than Tier 4 because he won’t be there this year as a starter (unless he takes over as an injury fill-in later in the season) and he probably won’t be their starter next year. Whereas UPL, though injury prone, will at least get first dibs right away. As soon as he gets hurt or stumbles, I’ll immediately swap things around. Comrie in the mix, too.
For what it’s worth, I heard the same arguments for Spencer Knight three years ago. Exact same. You just never know…
Is that simply due to contracts? As in UPL and Comrie need to clear waivers and Levi doesn’t?
Yes, they would lose UPL for sure. But also, it never hurts to wait and give a young goalie time. If the other two get hurt or struggle, we’ll see Levi then – and there will be less pressure. Whereas if Levi started as No.1 immediately, the pressure would be huge. It’s the best way all around
