Demko for me. It was between him and Sorokin, but Demko really carries his entire team for extensive periods of time. He steals games. I'd like to see what he looks like playing for a better team. Should see that in another year or two if things keep trending up in Vancouver. Demko is their franchise player though.

Markstrom for now. He was easily the best goaltender last year that still remains.

Probably Sorokin, then Helle, then Demko for me. Demko needs another year or two to push into the elite category.

Don't agree Markstrom was "easily" better than Sorokin last season at all

 

[Conbon]

Goaltending is in a sorry state

 

[Ace of Hades]

I will go with Demo here.

Basically carried the team for two seasons on his back.

Sorokin has played less NHL games than Demko. Should he not be in the year or two to push into elite category as well? based on your reasoning.

For me it's:

1)Demko
2)Hellebuyck
3)Sorokin/Markstrom in that order.

After 2-3 it really drops huh?

Jesus f***ing christ lol.

So Connor Hellebuyck who's been doing it better than Demko and for longer? Demko certainly has the age gap to be better for more years in the future, but people apparently sleep on Winnipeg's awful defensive play in goaltending conversation then bring it up literally everywhere else.

Is this a top 20 list of current goalies from the 21-22 season or a top 20 list of active career goalies.

 

[Aqualung]

I think I’ll go with Helle’s history, then probably Demko/Sorokin/Markstrom in really any order

Flip a coin? Hard to say. I voted Helle, due to more years of consistency than others, but the position is so volatile.

I assume Carey Price isn't eligible since he's probably not playing this year, right?

I don't see why he wouldn't be unless he's LTIRetired. He's a unique case, not sure where he'll slot in.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

i know he dumped his pants in the playoffs but Markstrom has always impressed me

In one series. He was excellent against Dallas.

SOROKIN

Then you should add him. I'd vote him at #3 max

 

[bossram]

Sorokin/Demko/Hellebuyk in some order.

Really should not be Markstrom before them.

 

[Xspyrit]

? Not at all.

 

[teravaineSAROS]

I don't know. He played 5 games last season and didn't do too well. The playoff version of him should've been picked #3 but it's hard to vote for someone who's been injured for so long and will continue to be injured.
