Super 16: Brodeur, Lundqvist, Price among top goalies of expansion era

The NHL season has been paused since March 12 due to concerns surrounding the coronavirus, but the weekly Super 16 rolls on in a revamped form, looking at the history of the game. This week, it's the top 16 goalies from 1967 to present day, the NHL expansion era.

It wasn't unanimous like last week, when Wayne Gretzky was voted the top center, but almost.

Martin Brodeur was ranked first by 11 of 14 participating NHL.com staff members, good enough to land at No. 1 on this Super 16, the best NHL goalies of the expansion era.

Dominik Hasek was ranked first by two of the voters, and Patrick Roy received top billing from one.

Three active goalies, Marc-Andre Fleury of the Vegas Golden Knights, Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers and Carey Price of the Montreal Canadiens, landed in the Super 16.

Thirty-one goalies were ranked by at least one of the voters.

To create this Super 16, each of the 14 participating NHL.com staff members put together his or her version of what it should look like. Those were submitted and a point total was assigned to each.

The goalie picked first was given 16 points, second got 15, third 14 and so on down to No. 16, who got one point.

Here is the Super 16, best goalies from 1967 to present day:
