vcrguy Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 If you were drafting a team with the intention of winning the Stanley Cup this year (e.g. age, cap hit in the future, all that other stuff doesn't matter), who would be the top 10 sought after goalies? My picks, in order, would be: Brodeur Rinne Quick Lundqvist Ward Fleury Kiprusoff Luongo Niemi Halak Am I totally out to lunch or is this a reasonably fair assessment? Apologies to Price and Miller but I don't know that I'd want them more than Niemi (who's won a cup) and Halak (who took Montreal on a wild ride a few years back by himself alone).

NuxFan09 Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 It's really tough to make an objective list of the best goalies. People rank them based on varying sample sizes, whether it be this season alone, the last couple seasons or even a bigger sample size like the last decade. Take Roberto Luongo, for instance. If you take into account the last couple seasons, he's probably a top 15 goalie. If you take account a sample size between the 2005 lockout and now, Luongo is easily a top 5 goalie, along with Kiprusoff, Lundqvist, Brodeur and Miller. I think we can only surmise definitively that Henrik Lundqvist is the best in the game. He has a Vezina Trophy, 3 additional Vezina nominations and is likely on track for at least another nomination this year. He's also top 3 in wins since the 04/05 lockout even though he can really only claim he's played on a legitimate elite team ONCE during that span (last season). The rest is very subjective.

DeNiro Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Schneider>>Rinne Rinne benefited from Nashville's solid defensive game. While Schneider gets hung out to dry by his all the time. Not too many goalies are stealing games like Schneider this season. Bobrovsky is probably the only comparable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Something is wrong with my spacebar......here's my order though. 1)Rinne 2)Lundqvist 3)Bobrovsky 4)Schneider 5)Price 6)Brodeur 7)Quick 8)Rask 9)Luongo 10)Smith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Carey Price anyone? 1) Price 2) Lundqvist 3) Schneider 4) Fleury 5) Rinne 6) Rask 7) Quick 8) Bobrovsky 9) Luongo 10) Niemi If Schneider keeps his current play up he will be a strong Vezina contender IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Somewhere in the top 10. Both of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Right now Rask or Lundqvist are leading contenders for the Vezina IMO. Andersson doesn't have enough games played. If Schneider can get a few more shutouts and lower his GAA a bit, he'll definitely be right in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
