Shuffle Up: Corey Crawford rules the world

They're erratic and they're flaky at times, but we need excellence between the pipes if we're going to go anywhere in fake hockey. Time for a price check on the netminders.

The prices are unscientific in nature and reflects how I expect the goaltenders to rank going forward. Players at the same price are considered even. Take the injured goalie prices with a heavy grain of salt. I didn't even try to price Carey Price, since no one knows when he's coming back.

$32 Corey Crawford: Best blueline help in league, shutouts move needle. Career season.
$30 Braden Holtby: Would like to see more bagels, other numbers elite.
$29 Jonathan Quick: Sees less puck volume than other keepers.
$27 Ben Bishop: Shutout count a little unlucky; it's been his best season.
$26 Henrik Lundqvist: Nifty 8-3-1 run as team gets back in form.
$26 Cory Schneider: A shame it took so long for a No. 1 gig.
$25 Roberto Luongo: Turns 37 in spring, not playing like it.
$25 Martin Jones: Now that team is scoring (and winning at home), playoff sleeper?
$23 Petr Mrazek: Shoved Jimmy Howard out of the way.
$23 Brian Elliott: Allen injury has taken care of the time-share.
$22 Tuukka Rask: Not much better than an average keeper in 2015-16.
$21 Marc-Andre Fleury: He'll see plenty of work as they battle for playoffs.
$21 John Gibson: Only seeing 25 shots for every 60 minutes of ice time.
$19 Devan Dubnyk: Predictably, has given back much of last year's dream season.
$18 Pekka Rinne: Name brands die hard, but it's his worst non-injury year.
$17 Connor Hellebuyck: Even when others heal up, looks like the rookie keeps the job.
$14 Jaroslav Halak: Knocked around in two February starts.
$14 Antti Niemi: Goaltending is only question mark with this team.
$13 Semyon Varlamov: The 2013-14 season goes into the fluke file.
$12 Karri Ramo: Percentages remarkably stable since he joined Flames three years back.
$11 Craig Anderson: Winning record is nice, percentages are not.
$9 Steve Mason: Gets his chance with Neuvrith dinged up.
$9 *Jake Allen
$8 Ryan Miller: A roster that's in audition mode.
$7 Mike Condon
$7 James Reimer: Those percentages deserve a much better record.
$7 Robin Lehner : Sharp since return, but such a young team in front of him.
$6 Cam Talbot: They'll play him, but won't protect him.
$4 Louis Domingue
$4 Eddie Lack: One of the bigger disappointments of the year.
$4 Thomas Greiss
$4 Cam Ward
$3 *Ondrej Pavelec
$3 *Mike Smith
$3 Joonas Korpisalo
