Breaking Down NHL's Top 25 Fantasy Goaltenders for the 2020-21 Season

Only about 24 hours from the start of the 2020-21 NHL season, the NHL finally released their annual fantasy rankings. Perhaps the most controversial of these would be their "Fantasy hockey top 25 goalie rankings."

Who's the best goalie in #FantasyHockey? @NHLFantasy votes Andrei Vasilevskiy.

Capitals Put Trust in Samsonov & Vanecek to Begin Season

While the Washington Capitals are going to just be under the NHL’s $81.5 million salary cap for the start of the 2020-21 season, just $1.6 million of that — about two percent — will be used on the two players who play the most important position in the game: goaltender. The bulk of the...

Oilers’ Goaltending Will Be Key to Success in the 2020-21 Season

The Edmonton Oilers’ recent goaltending crisis has led to repeated speculation and discussions about the team's hopes for success and how management will attempt to rectify the situation in net, often to no avail. Goaltending has been the organization's Achilles heel for years, and this season...

Blue Jackets Will Need Both Goalies for Compressed 2020-21 Season

The 2020-21 NHL season is going to be a weird one. From the schedule to the divisional realignment (and renaming and sponsored naming!) to intra-divisional play to the new playoff format, it’s all just, well, weird. And some of that weirdness favors teams that can platoon two excellent goalies,...

Golden Knights Taxi Squad Should Include Marc-Andre Fleury

For months, two of the most widely discussed approaches to the Vegas Golden Knights' cap situation existed exclusively in contrast to one another. You either supported the idea of trading a big salary player, Marc-Andre Fleury being the most commonly floated name, or you were a proponent of...

One for the Ages: Miikka Kiprusoff's 2005-06 Season

At the end of the 2005-06 season, the NHL awarded the Calgary Flames’ Miikka Kiprusoff the Vezina Trophy as the league’s top goaltender. The 30-year-old Finn topped that off by winning the William H. Jennings Award for giving up the fewest goals and was named an NHL First Team All-Star. His...

Corey Crawford's Retirement Leaves Legacy With Blackhawks

If the Chicago Blackhawks' confusing one-year offer to Corey Crawford wasn't indication enough that they didn't want to keep him, then their failure to fight any harder for him should have made it clear. Obviously, Crawford is not part of the organization's future plans. However, his impact...

Flames Suffered Through 13 Goalies Between Kiprusoff and Markstrom

When the legendary Miikka Kiprusoff retired in 2013, the Calgary Flames faced the conundrum of where they would find their next "Kipper." They looked at all options. They increased the scope of their overseas scouting, they made trades, and they dipped into the free-agent pool. And until now, it's...
