Gibson and Howard for me. Gibson is a risk, he may well end up back in minors. How many goalies do you play? Who would be available in the draft?
Keeper league allows us to keep 2 goalies. Goalie stats are wins, SV%, Shutouts. Which 2 do I keep from the following:
Gibson
Kuemper
Harding
Howard
My gut says to go with Gibson and Kuemper but they both could be playing in the minors most of the season. I have a good shot at winning this year but would hate to lose a future asset. Any incite would be helpful.

Yup, Howard and Gibson

12 team league, everyone can keep 2 goalies max.
Most tenders will be gone by then, as I traded my first rounder this past season.
Like I said, I have a good shot at winning this year so not sure if I can afford to take a chance on a goalie they may spend some time in the minors with Gibson.
May be able to steal him back in the draft... but he isn't exactly a secret anymore. We can only start 2 a night.
Any expansion on why you chose howard or Gibson?
Gibson and Howard for me too.
Another vote forbhoward with a flier in Gibson. He's worth the wait.
Howard because he will get you the most wins of the bunch (this year). Health with Harding is a RED FLAG! Gibson will be the best of the bunch very soon and he could potentially become #1 this year. I think he is worth sitting on until he becomes #1. Kuemper still has Backstrom and Harding to battle with BUT both are injury prone which could put him number 1. I could see Gibson drafted early if you let him go while the others would probably hang around for a while.
Points only pool - H2H - Dress 11/week - 2 at every forward position(RW, LW, C), 4 D, 1G
Goalie Points = 2/win, 1/overtime loss, 3 more/shutout (They typically make up most of the top 10 point getters every year in our league)
24 teams but 2 of every player (2 Crosbys, 2 Rasks, etc.) so treat it like a 12 team.
PROTECT 11 (max. roster size is 25)
LW - Benn, Pacioretty, Henrique, Abdelkader, Pulkkinen
C - Tavares, Backstrom, Johansen
RW - Giroux, Wheeler, Donskoi, Pomminville, Silvferberg
D - Josi, Karlsson, Burns, Seabrook, Reilly, Gardiner,
G - Jones, Rinne, Miller
Gibson and Howard.
Gibby gives you a high-end goalie for your future. He'll give you some games this season, possibly in a 1A-1B setup. And within the next two years he will be in an all-out battle with Andersen for starts.
Howard is the best choice for this season. Detroit might be on a bit of a decline, but they'll still challenge for a playoff spot and Howard is going to start 60-65 games if healthy. That should come out to 30-35 wins, with serviceable numbers.
