I would see him in the 65 - 70 range. Why do you not have him here? Just asking, knowing that we all value players differently. Thanks - Irvin Penner Fri, 03 Sep 2010 19:54:37 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7913 Nitty over Kipper? Price over Kipper? Come on...laughable list. - BGJ Fri, 27 Aug 2010 08:24:40 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7826 Why no love for Greiss? Backing up Niittymaki seems like the dream situation to me. With a career high of 52 starts in one season, it seems like there is at least a reasonable chance Greiss could get quite a bit of playing time. If he's successful, he's in the dream spot. I'd also like to hear the justification on Howard. It seems to me like he's on a great team, is coming off a solid season, and has no competition for starts. Looks like for the third straight year I get to say that you are overvaluing Price. - Mabus Sun, 22 Aug 2010 17:29:51 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7822 Very hard to see Neimi at number 9. The team if will be with has such an impact on goalie ranking. If he went to Anaheim he would have a Hiller like ranking, to San Jose a Nittymaki one. that said, Jimmy Howard headed for 40 wins and the playoffs and not in the top 10....:) - mike hess Sun, 22 Aug 2010 08:15:49 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7819 I think Smith will be the starter over Ellis. Just my opinion. He beat Ellis out of a job in Dallas and sent him packing. Ellis' played behind the best defensive team in the NHL last year. Smith's only weakness is injury...otherwise I'd have him even higher. Ellis and stat categories are misleading - Nashville will make a star out of any goalie. Brodeur slipped because he won't get the W's that he has in the past. Fewer games, weaker team. Varlamov - both. Injuries and competition holds his value down. Hiller - I predict a terrible year for Anaheim - Dobber Sun, 22 Aug 2010 07:41:02 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7590 With the D men that Lou brought in via free agency, i expected Brodeur to move up the rankings. Is his fall due simply to his age, and the yearly discussion of 'he has to slow down at some point?' - Puckhead Tue, 10 Aug 2010 16:22:21 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7217 I agree with Ian: "smith ahead of ellis??????????" Even if Smith is ranked ahead of Ellis, I can't justify the wide spread between them. Ellis is superior in most statistical categories and given Smith's injury history (not to mention Smith has zero playoff experience) the gap between them should be a lot closer. - Chewd Thu, 22 Jul 2010 12:19:48 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7194 Dobber-- Is Varlamov kept out of the top ten moreso because of his proneness to injury, or because of competition from Neuvirth? I have always noted that you are very high on Neuvirth however I have never seen him play so I do not know how to compare him to Varlamov, who I think is very very talented. I guess my question is, what is it that is keeping Varlamov out of the top 5? Is he not the goalie of the future for Washington, capable of handling 65-70 starts on a regular basis? In my opinion, he's a much better option than Halak is going forward. thanks! - clayton Wed, 21 Jul 2010 11:38:38 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7157 Dobber, very happy to see Lundy rise to No 2, any particular reason in your mind? The Rangers D hasn't gotten all that better. Then there's Hiller, a little surprised that he remains behind guys like Quick (given the Bernier risk), Anderson (Colorado is in my view a poorer team than Anaheim) and Elliott (Leclaire, while injury prone, is still lurking). Obviously I know that Elliott and Hiller are so close as to be interchangeable, but not the case with Quick or Anderson. I imagine that suspect Anaheim D is part of your reasoning, but Hiller's numbers have typically been great hence my question. Thanks as always for your hard work Dobber! - Santo aka Ross10019 Tue, 20 Jul 2010 07:34:15 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7152 smith ahead of ellis?????????? - Ian Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:45:57 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7151 Can't find Henrik Karlsson on the list. - tmlpowerplay Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:44:14 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7150 Checked a couple of times & can't find Henrik Karlsson on the list. - tmlpowerplay Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:43:23 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-7148 Hmm, DP should be a lot lower. I couldn't trade him for the next 10-15 below him in my league. His credibility in fantasy leagues is completely vanished. - KJ Tue, 20 Jul 2010 04:26:04 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-6596 Larry If you shopped Roloson to me in any of my keeper leagues I would laugh at you. Even if you asked me to take him for free. I don't care about 20 wins. 20 wins won't get on my pro team. Or any pro team in fantasy hockey. And after next year, how will he do? Retire? It's keeper league rankings. Tim Thank you! Rad 23rd isn't high. Barely a second pro goalie in most keepers. And even as a "backup" he'll still get 25 wins...and he's a Niemi injury away from getting 35 wins. He has value, come on. - Dobber Tue, 22 Jun 2010 10:39:15 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-6558 Hats off for doing these. You're never going to have 100% aggreement. I can't imagine how hard it would be to put this together. - Tim Tue, 22 Jun 2010 01:36:56 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-6549 Roloson at #84? he maybe old,but I'd bet he gets more starts then Dipietro. Huet will be lucky to be in the NHL next 2 years (more due to his contract than his talent) - Larry Mon, 21 Jun 2010 10:22:46 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-6542 Hey Dobbs, How can Huet still be ranked so high? He didn't get into a single play-off game and I can't see Chicago playing him over Niemi next season. At this point I can't imagine he has more value than any starter in the league. What gives? Rad - Rad64 Sun, 20 Jun 2010 18:32:09 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-6152 woo woo - he has to get pointed out to me by a disgruntled reader ;). Stalock has been properly adjusted befitting his season. playoffs - will always be a factor because they are a factor in my keeper league. Since there are 1000s of ways to run a keeper league (trust me, I've seen that many sets of rules it seems) that I can't please every league. So if I'm going to please a league at all, it may as well be my own. Playoff factor is only 0 to 7 rating points, so you can manually adjust downward (by zero if the team is the Leafs, or by 7 if your team is PIT or CHI) - Dobber Mon, 24 May 2010 18:16:17 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-5845 I agree about Stalock. He's a horse and his coaches have been lauding him all year long, saying how he almost always makes the right save at the right time even though he might not have the very best GAA or Save% numbers. He gets the most important thing: the wins. I picked him up a while ago in my keeper league and I have no idea what Sexsmith is doing on this list. For years it was apparent that his success in the WHL was more because he was on a super good team and not because of his skill. Now that he got to the pro game he really crapped the bed. - sentium Mon, 03 May 2010 07:27:39 +0100 http://www.dobberhockey.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=107:top-100-goalies&catid=26:rankings&Itemid=1#comment-5844 I understand that inclusion criteria is not always obvious but how can Alex Stalock not be on this list? He LED the AHL in victories this season as a rookie after dominating in his final year in the NCAA, breaking the All-Time rookie mark and finishing in the top 12/13 (I forget which) best win numbers ever! The fact that his team used him as a workhorse tells you how highly they valued him - he's the best kept secret in our organisation and IMHO, much, much better than Sexsmith who you have in your list. A 4th round draft pick, he was hardly a reach (5 rounds ahead of Evgeni Nabokov, I might add!) and if he's heading for San Jose, you'd think he's going to see a fair few 'W's down the road. Nabokov is coming to the end of his career and I personally consider Stalock much more of an heir-apparent than Thomas Greiss, due respect. This kid has steady No.1 potential but he's never been a glamour pick - nobody knows anywhere near enough about him. I'd be advising everyone in a deep keeper league to check him out. So Dobber, what more does he have to do to get some recognition in your list? How the AHL wins leader can't be ahead of Eddie Lack confuses me - surely he must be behind Luongo, Raycroft and Schneider? - WooWoo Mon, 03 May 2010 07:17:54 +0100
