Bryzgalov worth a shot?
I have an opportunity to acquire the 1st overall waiver pick in my league, which would allow me to pick up Bryzgalov.
Cost is Roy and a 1st prospect pick (2014 draft class, likely 6-12) and waiver swap. Not to worried about the prospect pick, my team is built to win now.
Given my goaltending situation for the league in sig, worth the risk? Do you guys think Bryzgalov will provide anything of significance? Or should I focus my assets on acquiring a goalie elsewhere?
Seems worth the risk.

Look elsewhere. Bryzgalov won't even be starting in Edmonton for a week or more, they are sending him to OK City for a conditioning stint. And when he does get called up, he will be backstopping the Oilers, who just traded away their best defensive player, Smid.
Trade one of your great LWs and get someone who you can start without ruining your stats. That trade you mention doesnt seem worth what you are giving up.
I've thought about moving one of my LW's for a goaltending upgrade.Originally Posted by Doug Glatt
The other option of course is to roll with what I have and surf the wire for backup stops here and there in order to meet the quota of 3 starts per week. I have consistently been winning the skater categories, which means I contiue to win my weekly matchups while getting smoked inthe goaltender categories.
Yeah man, I think that's the way to go. Use the assets you would have dealt away in the idea you proposed in combination with a LW to get something that you know will work out. You will kick yourself for throwing away next year's first rounder when Bryz stinks up the joint. Frankly there are not a lot of Gs who will do well behind the Oil. They suck, plain and simple.
If you can stream backup Gs I would do that before I rolled Bryz as a regular. That way you are taking your shots when you want to, instead of standing Bryz up in front of a storm and hoping for the best.

Bryz is only worth a free pickup if you don't have to dump something of value to fit him
if you have to pay to get him or dump something that is actually valuable he isn't even close to worth grabbing
I agree with Glatt, but if that doesn't work out, what is the rule on bringing Ramo up from the farm and simply dropping Dubnyk for another prospect?

Exactly, he might be worth a try but ONLY if you can dump him, without care, as soon as things go south. You might be better served grabbing a guy like Fasth and stashing him away in hopes Hiller gets moved sooner than later.

Thanks for all the pointers. I'll keep my assets then and pass on Bryz.
In terms of prospects, I can call Ramo up or send him down at will. Prospects can only be added through our offseason draft (any player under 100 games played is eligible. There may be some loopholes we should close there, but it works well enough).
I would love to stash Fasth, but he was picked up sometime last season. Goalies aren't the easiest to come by in our league.
