Positional rankings: Projecting the NHL's top 25 goalies in 2016-17

(Note: These rankings are based on players' projected performances in 2016-17.)

Here’s the Yahoo Sports ranking of the top 25 goalies in the NHL for the 2016-17 season. Tell us where we went right -- or gently point out where we went wrong -- in the comments section.

1. Carey Price, Montreal Canadiens: The Habs had the NHL’s best record when Price was in net for them last season – and the NHL’s worst record after he went down with injury. So yeah, he’s pretty good.

2. Braden Holtby, Washington Capitals: Flirted with 50 wins last year before settling in with an NHL-record-tying total of 48 en route to his first Vezina Trophy.

3. Cory Schneider, New Jersey Devils: The league’s best goalie who gets the least hype.

4. Ben Bishop, Tampa Bay Lightning: He’s bigger than the net, which helps.

5. Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers: Almost as good at goaltending as he is at looking good.

6. Tuukka Rask, Boston Bruins: He took a step back last season, a reflection of the team in front of him.

7. Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings: When he’s on, he’s unbeatable. And he’s usually on.

8. Martin Jones, San Jose Sharks: Backstopped the Sharks to the Stanley Cup final in his first season as an NHL starter.

9. Roberto Luongo, Florida Panthers: Twitter sensation @strombone1 still going strong at age 37.

10. Pekka Rinne, Nashville Predators: The ravages of age and injury are starting to emerge, but he’s not done yet.

11. Corey Crawford, Chicago Blackhawks: Two Stanley Cups to his credit and he still can’t crack the top 10?! What kind of crazy list is this?!

12. Jake Allen, St. Louis Blues: Platoon days are over, the Blues’ crease belongs to Allen.

13. Brian Elliott, Calgary Flames: Platoon days are over, the Flames’ crease belongs to Elliott.

14. Steve Mason, Philadelphia Flyers: Remember when he considered retirement a few years ago due to poor play and low confidence? Somehow, he went to the goalie graveyard in Philadelphia and rebounded in a big way.

15. Petr Mrazek, Detroit Red Wings: He was giving Holtby a bit of a run for the Vezina Trophy until hitting the wall in the homestretch of the regular season.

16. Matt Murray, Pittsburgh Penguins: Just like Ken Dryden 45 years ago, Murray has a chance to win the Calder Trophy as the NHL’s top rookie after leading his team to the Stanley Cup the previous postseason.

17. Marc-Andre Fleury, Pittsburgh Penguins: If Murray truly is for real, look for ‘The Desert Flower’ to bloom in Las Vegas in 2017-18.

18. Sergei Bobrovsky, Columbus Blue Jackets: Let’s just try to forget about what happened in Columbus last season and move on.

19. Frederik Andersen, Toronto Maple Leafs: Platoon days are over, the Leafs’ crease belongs to Andersen.

20. John Gibson, Anaheim Ducks: Platoon days are over, the Ducks’ crease belongs to Gibson.

21. Cam Talbot, Edmonton Oilers: For the love of Fuhr, it looks like the Oilers’ goalie woes are finally over.

22. Semyon Varlamov, Colorado Avalanche: When he heats up he’s as good as it gets.

23. Jaroslav Halak, New York Islanders: Stabilized the Isles’ crease situation, but injuries and age are catching up.

24. Jakob Markstrom, Vancouver Canucks: He’s ready to take over the starting job in Vancouver.

25. Andrei Vasilevskiy, Tampa Bay Lightning: If the Bolts trade Bishop, it’s because they believe Vasilevskiy is ready to be a No. 1 on a Cup contender.

(The next five: Craig Anderson, Ottawa Senators; Michal Neuvirth, Philadelphia Flyers; Devan Dubnyk, Minnesota Wild; James Reimer, Florida Panthers; Ryan Miller, Vancouver Canucks.)
