Tip: drag with your mouse on desktop or your finger on mobile. Double-tap a tier label to rename it.

Goaltending is the tier-maker nobody predicts

NHL team rankings hinge on the one position that defies projection: a hot goalie drags a mid roster into a Cup run, and a cold crease sinks a stacked one. Cap health and playoff experience are the stable inputs, but the league's parity means the gap between a 3-seed and out-of-the-playoffs is a couple of bounces. Fan lists carry Original Six bias and rivalry taxes (Leafs placement is a personality test in Canada). Rank the roster on paper, then adjust a tier for whoever's tending the net in April.

Frequently asked questions

How much does one goalie change a team's tier?

More than any single skater. Hockey's the sport where an elite goalie steals series a roster doesn't deserve — see multiple recent Cup runs. Bump a team a full tier for a proven playoff netminder, drop it one for a question mark in net.
