Pretty much agree with your assessments/predictions/guesses except that I think Fleury is even more inconsistent than you give him “credit” for – and I really don’t see Carolina in the playoffs. Time will tell…

At the risk of sounding like a total homer, I have to defend Jonathan Quick. I don’t know where you get the impression that he’s cocky because in all the press I’ve read and from interviews with his teammates, he’s always giving credit for W’s to his team and giving blame for L’s to himself. It’s one of the reasons he’s my favorite King.

Just to clear the air on this issue, Vancouver stated that their number 1 goaltender for this season will be Cory Schneider, which is why I did not include Luongo in the rankings. If Lu was still the number 1 in Vancouver, I would rank him somewhere between 6 and 9 in the west. Disclaimer: Luongo is my favorite active NHL goalie. I do not think he deserves even a fraction of the hate he receives. He’s a superstar goaltender who doesn’t play like the other superstars in the league, which is why I think people don’t like him. I also think that’s why when he lets in a goal, it’s one other goalies would stop, but a lot of his saves are ones most goalies wouldn’t make. That’s all I will say on the matter.

As a Leafs fan who’s absolutely terrified that we’ll get stuck with him, I thank you for not ranking Luongo. I thoroughly appreciate it that I’m not the only one who sees it. And sad that when Burke finally got the axe, it was for doing the right thing in not trading for him. Sigh.
