    Default Montoya?

    I just dropped Hellberg for him in the league in my signature. I consider that very low risk in my league. Still is it possible he steals the starter job from Pavelec? He has been pretty solid so far this season and seems like he might be trending towards a consecutive start this week.

    I'd be surprised if Montoya didn't start in Chicago tomorrow. Still, don't expect him to steal the #1 spot away from Pavelec long-term. My hope is that Montoya plays well enough to earn a healthy number of starts this season, though. Pavelec's play tends to get worse when he plays too much, even though he likes playing every game.

    Goalies are obviously like gold in leagues with 12 or more teams, especially a 16 team league. I would've dropped MacDonald instead of Hellberg, who has very little, if any value in a league without the blocked shot category. Other players I would've dropped instead of Hellberg include Gionta, Jagr and likely Larsson.

    Completely disagree about dropping Jagr, since he provides decent points. This is a 16 team league with over 400 players rostered. Gionta is actually performing ok for this type of league as well. I am going to drop MacDonald when Hall returns off of IR. Also we don't have a minors, so keeping Hellberg wastes a spot. I picked him up hoping he got a start and outperformed Hutton, but it looks like he is already being sent back down anyway. I think I made the right drop.

    I think you did the right thing. I also like the idea of grabbing Montoya now, its a low risk move, and I think with Noel on the hot seat he has no choice but to give Montoya a legit shot to be the #1 since Pavs is killing him.

    Being a Winnipegger I can tell you that this organization really want Pavalec to succeed. They'll likely continue to throw him out there. I do think Montoya gets the start against Chicago and the result will tell you a lot about how things will proceed going forward.
