    Holtby. Lack may be the better goalie, but I don't much like his situation. He has to first hope that Schneider is traded, and then he has to wait for Luongo to retire, get hurt, or also traded.

    Holtby only has to wait one year for Vokoun to move on, and then he just has to beat out Neuvirth for the starting job. I don't really think that Neuvirth is any more guaranteed a shot at the starting job than Holbty in a year or two.

    One more vote for Holtby. And not just because he's in a better situation but I wouldn't necessarily think that Lack is the better goalie.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    I just turned down an offer of Allen & Bishop for Holtby from a Neuvirth owner.

    I own Halak so owning his handicaps makes sense, but simply put I have more faith that Holtby will be a starter in 3 yrs than Bishop or Allen.

    Also my G roster is as follows

    Hiller, Halak, Reimer, M Smith, Varlamov, Lindback, Dekanich, Lack, Holtby, Rynnas, Kuemper, JP Anderson
    HFD 12 Team H2H
    G,A,P,+/-,PPP, PIM,HITS

    C O'Reilly, Zibanejad, Hischier
    LW Hall, Teravainen, Arvidsson.V
    RW Stone, Kessel, Laine
    UT RW Radulov, LW Gusev, RW W. Nylander
    D Burns, Dahlin, Dumba, Muzzin, Morrrisey, McNabb
    G Varlamov, Grubauer
    BN G Hutton, G Ullmark, W Bjorkstrand

    Minors 25/25
    F Anderson-Dolan, Barré-Boulet, Batherson, Bemström, Dahlen, Fix-Wolansky, Gaudette, Greenway, Kahun, Kakko, Kaliyev, Kaprizov, Lindblom.O, Luff, Mattheos, N Robertson, Terry. T, Thomas. A

    Winner, winner, chicken dinner!

    There's your proof right there. Even Neuvirth owners are ready to bounce their Czech.

    That's the first I've come across Holtby's twitter account...terribly funny stuff. I had no idea the guy was such a comedian. I'm certainly going to start following him now.

    Thanks Scribe for pointing that out.

    That's not a verified account, so I wouldn't attribute any of those quotes to Holtby.

    Sure makes for a more interesting read, though.

    But seriously, Seadawg, you hit the nail on the head with your advice to WpgJets. (Just gave you some rep as I had to wait to reload.)

    Also, when in doubt, refer to Justin's Prospects chart at The Goalie Guild. @GoalieGuild on Twitter, if you're on there.

    oh really? That's a bit of a letdown. That said, reading through the most recent posts, it sure sounds an awful lot like it is him.

    Maybe it is him and the disclaimer at the end of his profile is a clever way to avoid a Mike Duco-type "scandal."

    Another vote for Holtby, not that you need it.
