NHL.com released its mid-season top 25 Goalie list

how will it affect the DCHL ratings ?

NHL TOP 25 GOALIES

NHL.com just came out with their top 25 fantasy goalie list.  Will this help you in the DCHL, maybe not this year, but it will give you an idea of who is doing well, who is the # 1 on each team currently.   

Value has been quantified based on factors including but not limited to past production in regular season and Stanley Cup Playoffs, team goalie situations, anticipated start volume, projected goal support (or lack thereof), injury history or concern (INJ.), sleeper, bounce-back or breakout potential, anticipated regression, age, contract status (potential 2022 unrestricted free agents: *) and overall upside for the rest of the season.

Something interesting is it looks like there’s 3 NHL teams that have new starters.

·       St-Louis Blues – #18 Ville Husso took over the # 1 role from Jordan Binnington

·       Washington Capitals - # 21 Vitek Vanecek took over the # 1 role from Ilya Samsonov

·       Dallas Stars - # 25 Braden Holtby took over the # 1 role from Jake Oettinger

Also, who will be the # 1 goalie in Boston now that Tuukka Rask is back in the NHL and how will that affect Linus Ullmark’s value / rating in 2022?
