From that list, I'd go Hiller
I'm in an 8 team league, where most owners have 3 goalies. A few 4. Currently, I only have 1. I was trying to have a major skater advantage during the week where Yahoo has a 1 game minimum for goalie starts. But when Rask gave up 3 goals and a fairly weak SV%, I think it's time I get at least one more G. Our goalie categories are W, GAA, SV% and SO.
One important thing to factor in is that this is an important week to me, and I'd like to steal a few goalie categories. My opponent is trying to pick his goalie start strategically until Saturday. The perfect scenario would be a goalie who has a strong chance of winning this week so that I can pull the wins category.
The guys I'm considering are:
- Hutchinson (plays @Min) on Saturday. Has been hot lately, but I'm worried about Win's depleted Defense corp
- Hiller (plays @home against EDM) on Saturday. Not sure how much I trust the flames, but saw on Leftwinglock that his PK SV% this year has been really low, which means he might be due for some luck
- Pickard (plays @home against Chicago). He's been hot too, but Varly is back and I worry that Colorado gives up a ton of shots and don't think he's likely to sustain his current performance
- I've also considered going with a backup goalie like Martin Jones or Cam Talbot who have been putting up good numbers. To do this, I would likely wait and see if anyone gets announced Friday - but while this might give me a nice advantage that day it would be good to have a long term solution
Someone help. Clearly I've spent a lot of time thinking about this and I'm still at an impasse.
From that list, I'd go Hiller

If you going to take a shot for this week only then I think Hiller is the call. Into the future, I think you have a debate between Hiller and Hutchinson - not sure which way I would go there.
