Note: I consider Keith Kinkaid to be the Devils #1. Also, age is not a factor here. If you had to win one game and the starter was unavailable who would you want in net?
Here's My Top 10:
1. Halak, BOS
2. Miller, ANA
3. Saros, NSH
4. Rittich, CGY
5. DeSmith, PIT
6. Greiss, NYI
7. Kuemper, ARI
8. Grubauer, COL
9. Dell, SJS
10. Brossoit, WPG
I know Brossoit leads the league in save % and he's 3rd in GAA but he plays on a great team and he's untested in big games. But he's def got game. Ryan Miller still has the ability to shut down any team on any given night, but Halak is clearly a #1 despite a few rough seasons w/ the Islanders. I think he'll be the main guy in net down the stretch for BOS. Saros has been excellent at times, but he plays behind one of the best defensive teams in the league. Guys like DeSmith and Rittich could be future stars, but they're also untested in big games. And it's only a matter of time before both replace Matt Murray and Mike Smith, respectively.
