    Default How much Better is ward than Thomas in Keeper?

    Keeper League - Ward is on ww now, I have 1st priority and wondering if I should burn it on him or roll the dice and see if he hits FA? How much better does it make my goalie core if I drop Thomas and add Ward moving forward?

    Ward's better than Timmy, primarily because of age but I doubt you'd end up keeping Ward. So why burn that waiver wire move? There's no guarantee Ward will be all that much better this season.

    I'm not sure about using your waiver wire or not. That really depends on your league and everyone elses needs for goalies.

    But Ward would slide into being your #2 as of now. Schneider will be better soon, but this year he is not going to get the starts to be really valuable. Thomas is insurance that the Panthers may have just realized they dont need after Markstrom handing the Pens their first loss.

    I would grab Ward if I were you. I just can't tell you if he is worth the waiver or not.

    Approx 2/3rd's of the league is competent, (maybe 4 guys not so much) I could see there being somebody who doesn't have a good idea of a guys potential and dropping.
    Jvr, Barkov, Franzen have been dropped and it's a 12 team Yahoo! keeper league.

    +1.

    Yes, Ward is an upgrade.

    But since he won't be in your top 10, it seems like a bit of a waste to use your WW on him.

    Unless you already have a goalie trade lined up, or something.

    Good luck.

    Ya I would either trade Schneider for much needed offence or drop a prospect?
