From what I remember the no trade list does change, but without notice, as the season progresses.
Wait it out and see if that goalie's stats improve or just don't play them. If they are a back up with 2 starts and a 3.2 gaa but began with a high overall rating the Yahoo fantasy people's may have him on the no trade list.
