In the middle of a draft, need quick help
In this league it's a 20 person keeper league and a limit of two goalies per team so goalies are going to be in short supply and probably quite valuable. My first goalie is Price, now it's my pick and the guy I was gonna take, Fleury, was taken by the pick before mine. Who should I pick? Standard scoring cats. Goalies left of interest:
Hiller
Howard
Halak
Reimer
Crawford
Mason
Kiprusoff
Lehtonen
I'm thinking it's between Hiller, Halak, Crawford, and Howard. Can't decide really. What's everyone's thoughts?

12-team yahoo head-to-head with daily starts. 24-man rosters. Keep 8.

Howard! Least competition, and has proved he can win.
Keeper, with max 2?
I'd take Halak. He'll be good for today and the future.
Setting up the play.
Hiller is the best goalie in the bunch so personally I would take him...Howard is a mediocre goalie on a great team, one that made Chris Osgood a stats stud for a decade so he's not a bad option either. My concern with Howard is that he's losing that core defense that's been so good for so long...Rafalski retied this year, Lidstrom is probably done after this year, I think that's gonna put a pretty big damper on Howard's numbers, but if you think you can draft him and deal him on a high this year that might not be a bad strategy either
I like Hiller here. Prior to the all-star game, he was considered one of the top goalies in the league, and should definitely be taken before Howard and Halak IMO.

Another vote for Hiller. He is underrated and most will be scared of his vertigo issues but sounds like that is a thing in the past. Hiller sees a lot of shots and makes a lot of saves. So if you have those stats he becomes even more valuable, especially in h2h leagues.
I also believe the Ducks have a lot of games on Sundays, which makes Hiller even more valuable because of the goalie stats obtained on the last day.

I like Halak on St L. - they are an up and coming team and he is undisputed starter, next choice would be Howard as he will have good stats on Detroit. Like Hiller as well, but the health issues are a concern - he is more of a gamble.
