Which goalie to draft?

[cizastro]

I already have a #1 goalie, but in this 15-team roto keeper league you need a solid #2 G to have any shot at winning. Our league counts the standard categories (W, SV%, GAA, SO). Which goalie do you like here?

Brodeur
Rolosson
Backstrom
Reimer
Anderson
Mason
Varly
Nabokov
Pavelec

I'm leaning towards Brodeur, but am open to suggestions.

Brodeur- old, numbers on the decline
Roloson- old, not keeper material, maybe a #3 goalie
Backstrom- mediocre at best.
Reimer- Seeing him go high in drafts, good young prospect
Anderson- ended last season in Ottawa on a tear, return prior glory?
Mason- Not sure if he'll get back to his rookie season performance
Varly- Injury, KHL risk. Probably worth a gamble
Nabokov- under the radar goalie but if he is the starter should be decent, KHL risk
Pavelec- Another good younger goalie, should have decent season

In a keeper league, I'd be drafting goalies in this order

Anderson
Pavelec
Varly
Reimer
Nabokov

I like Ziggy's list...I might move Reimer up a slot though, he does have promise, my only concern is that Leafs fans say that with every new goalie they bring up and so far its just not worked out very well

I should also add that we're only allowed to keep one G and my keeper G is Hiller. None of these guys have a real shot at taking over Hiller's spot unless Hiller is forced to retire due to his vertigo issues.

With that said, does the list still stay the same?

[ziggy33200]

Probably wouldn't change. Anderson was lighting it up in Ottawa. I think he'll have a strong season. I have personally drafted him in a new keeper as well so my money is where my mouth is.

Good list, for a second goalie you should be alright with the above. Anderson needs to prove himself as not a flash in the pan.
