For those new to DobberHockey, I use a tiered system that basically discourages taking a goalie for as long as possible in your draft, until you absolutely have to. If you’re afraid that all of the goalies in Tier 1 will be gone by your next pick, and you want a Tier 1 goalie, then you take him with this pick. The only sure things in the Goalie Universe are the Tier 0 goalies. Goalies within the same tier are pretty much equal in value and offer different things in dynasty leagues such as potential, reliability, etc.

This month, I will present just the first three tiers here (plus Tier 0) and encourage readers to visit Goalie Post to find the rest via the Rankings link at the bottom. Download the app, it’s free. Use it for your starting goalie notifications!

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.

Aug ’25	Goalie	Team	Rating	July	Tier
1	Connor Hellebuyck	WPG	109.3	1	0
2	Andrei Vasilevskiy	TBL	91.8	2	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.

3	Jake Oettinger	DAL	89.6	3	1
4	Ilya Sorokin	NYI	86.1	4	1
5	Filip Gustavsson	MIN	85.0	5	1
6	Igor Shesterkin	NYR	83.3	6	1
7	Mackenzie Blackwood	COL	77.3	7	1
8	Dustin Wolf	CGY	75.7	8	1
9	Pyotr Kochetkov	CAR	74.7	9	1
10	Logan Thompson	WAS	74.5	10	1
11	Jacob Markstrom	NJD	65.9	11	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	Joey Daccord	SEA	69.5	12	2
13	Jeremy Swayman	BOS	65.9	13	2
14	Sergei Bobrovsky	FLA	64.8	14	2
15	Adin Hill	VGK	64.2	15	2
16	Stuart Skinner	EDM	63.8	16	2
17	Karel Vejmelka	UTA	63.1	17	2
18	Linus Ullmark	OTT	62.8	18	2
19	Lukas Dostal	ANA	60.3	19	2
20	Juuse Saros	NSH	59.6	20	2
21	Darcy Kuemper	LAK	57.7	21	2
22	Sam Montembeault	MON	56.7	22	2
23	Anthony Stolarz	TOR	56.3	23	2
24	Jordan Binnington	STL	62.7	24	2

Tier 3

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

25	Kevin Lankinen	VAN	53.2	25	3
26	Yaroslav Askarov	SJS	51.9	26	3
27	Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen	BUF	51.5	27	3
28	Joseph Woll	TOR	49.0	28	3
29	Spencer Knight	CHI	47.2	29	3
30	Samuel Ersson	PHI	46.6	30	3
31	Thatcher Demko	VAN	38.3	31	3
32	John Gibson	DET	34.8	32	3
