I like Sway. Only 23 and already a starter putting up good stats. Shesty and Sorokin for example are 26/27

MAF, 2 years ago he won the Vezina and last year gave the Hawks a chance to fight back into it even when they were complete crap. He's still got game left until proven otherwise.

How is Anton Forsberg even on the poll?

He's 29 and only twice has he ever played over 10 NHL games in a season.

Career NHL stats:
wins 37
GAA 3.03
SV% .909

He had one ok season last year when Ottawa had no other options. But he's been a career backup, and not even a great one.

Still better than Gibson..

whos clearly better than him thats not been added? After the top 15-20 or so its just a big crapshoot anyways.

I was of the same opinion until I dug down and realized Sway actually let in a lot of goals based on the quality and quantity of chances. It turns out Boston was really damn good at limiting chances against (as they usually are in this era). I feel like I've lost a bit of confidence in Sway's actual performance.

I think Jarry is the better goalie today, but Sway is right there in that 10-15 group of guys. I'd still take Sway over Gibson, though...

Who's clearly better than Anton Forsberg? That's a pretty big list! I'd take absolutely anyone on the OP's "to add" list ahead of Forsberg. That's 9 goalies. Then I'd also take Spencer Knight, Cal Petersen, Vitek Vanecek, Pavel Francouz, Alex Gorgiev and probably Antti Raanta.

I agree that it's blurry after the top 15. But Forsberg shouldn't be in a discussion of the top 30.

I noticed those numbers too and it's why I haven't been pushing for him to be even higher. I still think he has top 5-7 goalie potential. To be this good at 22-23 aged seasons is pretty impressive for any goalie. Jarry would be my 2nd choice.

Fleury. Then Jarry. The drop off after the top 10 is pretty steep.
