Looking at those names, if Fredrik Andersen is a Top 10 NHL goalie this league has gone in the freaking toilet in terms of reliable goaltending.

Voted for Saros as goalie people ( I have a hard time evaluating them honestly) tell me that he mayb the best goalie in the league.

The bigger question for me is when do we see a goalie from NA on this list?

6th maybe?

7 of his 9 career seasons, he's posted a .914 or better. He's coming off a .922 winning the Jennings and finishing 3rd in AS voting/4th in Vezina voting. In the current NHL where careers swing on a pendulum, that's high-end consistency and pretty easily a top-10 goalie.

Anyway, the answer to this poll is Shesterkin until proven otherwise (see: career pendulum swings)

You've certainly seen him more recently than I have, but I've seen him struggle in a lot of important games and for that reason I personally don't trust him in the slightest.

Yea I'm confused at all the Andersen hate. He just finished 4th in Vezina voting and has been a pretty consistent starter his entire career.

Will be an easy one here. Kid's an animal.

Might get crap for this but when the time is appropriate to make an add, Fleury really isn't a bad choice.

I think the question with Andersen has always been his play in big games/moments. I don’t know if that’s fair or not but I think it’s what’s hurt his reputation over the years. He also was just not good in general his last year with the Leafs, though obviously rebounded last year

Do goalies all just suck now or is scoring just up:laugh::laugh: feels like the end of an era

I feel like goaltending will become better again soon with the best goalies still being young and guys like Wallstedt, Oettinger, Knight, Swayman, Askarov, Wolf, Levi and maybe Cossa(?) showing a lot of potential.

A lot of the elite goalies like Lundqvist, Bishop, Rask, Rinne and probably Price disappeared recently which left us with a gap.
