    Default Keep Holtby still? In contention in 11-12

    I've contended for the past two years in my keeper (championship 1st year, came in 2nd the next year) and most likely in contention for 2011-12. Knowing where Vokoun (yes I have him!) is now, do I cut ties with Holtby or keep him and drop Montoya? Anyone else you feel I should drop instead of Holtby?

    I'm confused. Your league setting states "Daily Rotation / No limit keeper" so why do you want to drop Holtby? I consider him one of the top 3 goalie prospects so if you can stash him away for a year or two, you'll be rewarded. I would also keep Montoya. With DiPietro destined to spend at least half of next season on the IR, Montoya should see a decent number of starts. Having three starters in daily rotation is huge.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    Apologies, the no limit keeper was misleading, I have changed it. There is a cap to 25 players, thereby keeping Holtby (and him playing in the AHL next season) may limit a scoring forward opportunity on my team.

    Well, if you want to add a scoring forward to boost your chances next year, I would drop Poulin rather than Holtby.

    I'll second that and, if you want an answer to your either/or question for Holtby/Montoya, it's Montoya that I would drop. Cool name, but doesn't stack up against Holtby.

    If you think that Montoya could be the No. 1 on the Island this season and help you win, then Poulin is your drop. I don't see the Islanders giving him too much playing time in the NHL.
