    Default Keep Rinne or Schneider?

    I am trying to figure out whether I should gamble on Schneider or stick with Rinne as my keeper goalie. I think Schneider is better in the long run but this season could be tough as Luongo will be splitting time with him.

    With the format I have, it makes no sense to keep both.. especially since trades are so hard to come by. I draft 6th overall again so there is an outside chance I can redraft him if I need to but I would rather shore up either my C or RW position.

    Realistically, I only see 2 options:

    1) Keep Schneider + draft another starting goalie 1st round
    2) Keep Rinne + draft as per my needs

    I only have until tomorrow night to decide so who would you guys take?

    Thanks in advance!

    Keep Rinne. He'll be good even with Suter gone.

    Another vote for Rinne. Even if you feel Schneider will be better down the road, he's unproven as a full-time starter, and Rinne he's still perceived as an elite goalie regardless of what he could do going forward.

    As for the draft, there's no chance Rinne will fall to you. Depending on other teams' keepers, Schneider may or may not be available, but more likely than Rinne.

    Another option for down the road if you really want Schneider, you could possibly get Schneider+ for Rinne so it would be unwise to drop Rinne.

    I too own both and would take Rinne here. Either look to redraft Schneider or as you said, take a forward. Proven over unproven here.
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    My Top 3 goalies:
    1. Lundqvist
    2. Quick
    3. Rinne

    Rinne is a Top 3 goalie until proven otherwise, and as good as Schneider is, you got to keep Rinne over him.
