This year's Emery/Vokoun/Khudobin

W = 2
L = -1
GA = -1
S = 0.1
SO = 4

Points only. Eight teams. 2 x 82 = 164 starts.

In my experience, this scoring rewards goalies on winning teams. I've had bad luck in recent years trying to win with decent goalies on decent teams. So last year I loaded up on backup goalies on elite teams and kicked ass. We have 5 BN spots available, so I was able to rotate 5-6 goalies. I had Price as my only legit starter, and rotated backups for the other starts. Due to the condensed season, struggling starters, and injuries, the backups I listed above put up awesome numbers for me.

So I'm going to try for the same strategy this year. I might nab an elite starter early on, but then just load up on backups that nobody wants.

So who falls into this category this year? Backups who will get 20+ starts and likely win most of them? Vokoun seems obvious again. Khabibulin? Fasth? Elliott?

Steve Mason will get 20+ starts. Robin Lehner might get around 20 also, same thing with Enroth.

I do the same thing. Great idea. Elliott Fasch vokun lenher would be great. Greiss and chad Johnson should have good numbers but may play much.

Steve Mason will get 20+ starts. Robin Lehner might get around 20 also, same thing with Enroth.

I like Mason for 35 starts, I think Philly wants to get a good look at him this year and Emery is only on a 1-yr deal so there's not a large organizational investment in him.

Lehner could easily get a lot of starts due to Anderson's brittle body. And I think the Sens would like to see Lehner take that job so they can move Andy for something nice.
