    Default Who do you think will get more starts?

    Need to pickup a goalie since I only got Niemi and Markstrom right now. Its a 16-team league so most of the quality starters have been accounted for. Here is what is leftover as of now:

    - Nabby
    - Harding
    - Bobrovsky
    - Mason (CBJ)
    - Hedberg
    - Vokoun (though probably won't get many starts with Fleury)
    - Enroth
    - Emery (Crawford will probably bounce back)

    I'm not worried about the keeper status of the goalie - I just need some quality starts. I'm guessing I should go for Nabby (if he's still available when I pick) - he's the only guy without competition. Bob is probably going to split with Mason.

    Nabby and Bobrovsky should get the most starts out of that group.
    I would be targeting Harding. He is bound to get around 35 starts, Backstrom has a history of injuries, he is signed long term and Backstrom is a UFA at the end of the year.
    I could also see MIN dealing Backstrom to get added defensive help, it would only benefit Harding even more.
    Hardings stats shouls be better than most of the other options as well.

    Nabokov will probably get the most starts of the bunch due to lack of a true #1 on the team.

    I could see Bobrovsky also being a dark horse if Mason implodes again this season.

    From that group, Nabby for sure.

    The Isles may actually be surprisingly decent this year... ahh who are we kidding.

    I agree with the others. Nabakov is the only proven starter from your group. CBJ's goaltending is up in the air as to who they will start but I dont think I would take a chance on either Mason or Bobrovsky until the dust settles there. Mason will probably start out the season as the starter but lets be honest, do you really want to role with either of those guys? Yikes! Harding would be the only other guy I would consider but I dont think he will split much time with Backstrom.

    Thanks guys for the responses.

    Bob was taken right before me, so I had to go with Nabby. I really liked the idea of Harding (especially if we could keep more than 2 goalies...but thats not the case). I just hope that DiPietro doesn't miraculously beat Nabby out...

    Is it wrong for me to say they will all get zero starts?

    Nabby wins here. You did well.
