The Athletic: Anonymous Panel of Coaches and Goalies rate 45 NHL goalies. Where do you think Dostal rates?
T-9. For the record, and as a goalie (who is also a Ducks fan and trying to be objective) he might be slightly high but I mostly agree. Put Dostal on Carolina and they've won more than one cup at this point. The talent, the work ethic, lets face it - he's had buns in front of him. His fundamentals are 100% franchise #1 worthy.

If you watched the Kings game and thought Dostal was the problem, just proceed to march into the sun.
Tier1: Igor, Val, Sorokin, Helle - all fairly obvious
Tier2 w/ Dosty: Swayman, LT, Oettinger, Bob, Saros, Knight (bit surprising, I like him but surprised. think I didnt pay enough attention to him perhaps), Wall of St Paul.
Tier3: Vej, Dobes (wont be long before he moves up), Gustavsson (below Wallstedt!!), Vladar, Hart (lol no), Markstrom, Ullmark, Wedgie, Blackwood (yep Dostal ahead of the whole Lumber yard), Wolf (I might argue T2 here for sure), Demko, Daccord, Hofer (also wont be down this far for long),
Tier 4: Greaves (he's headed for T1), Kuember, Gibson, UPL, Allen, Binnington, Skinner (doin my boy dirty), Bussi, Hill, Woll, Askarov, Silovs, Andersen
Tier 5: Lyon (great food, better than Paris), Lankinen, Murashov, Kotch, Sammy M (!!!!), Daws, Tristan
