Tough goalie decision...

[pmorrow]

Trying to decide whether to keep a 2nd goalie in my keep 6 or not. I already have Quick and expect decent but not amazing goalies to be available (Miller, Bernier, Smith, Elliot, plus all the guys I'll drop)

What should I do?

No need

Well.. there's quite a drop-off to your #6 keeper (shown as Lehtonen for now).
Obv - Kari's value has plummeted with Niemi signing.
There's no great player in the other four you show: Ryan, E.Staal, Bernier, Anderson

Anderson is probably the best of the group...
I prefer Luongo - if it's only a 4th/5th round pick.

Being a snake draft, you've got a long way to your 2nd/3rd round pick and goalies could dry up after you take McDavid.
It can be a bit dangerous and goalies in ROTO can be important.

So, either keep Anderson or trade for Luongo.

May ranks:

Trade for Luongo if it only costs you a 6th or 7th
...
Keep Anderson
Trade for Luongo if it only costs you a 4th or 5th

Thanks, yeah I should remove Lehtonen from my sig. I'm not keeping him after the Niemi signing

Also should note that while it is a snake draft the 1st overall pick was acquired in a trade. My 2nd round pick is in tact at 14th overall (4th pick of the 2nd round)

Depending on what Lou costs that would be the route I'd take. Lou is a steady goalie and should be fine for a few more years. If its a mid to late rounder I'd make that deal.

If it costs an early pick I'd keep Anderson. I'd be tempted to keep Ryan, but I think you're golie options will be real slim with your 2nd pick, better to be safe and keep a goalie there.

I would probably take my chances in the draft, but depending how much Lou costs, he could be your 6th.

What could you land with that mid-round pick?

I would look at it like so:
Anderson + mid-round pick player
vs
Luongo

Unless that pick = a player that is a 40pt player AT BEST, I would favour the Anderson side since Lou is not that much better IMO.

I would also keep Landeskog in this format and drop Anderson (or Luongo) at the end of the year in favour of McDavid.

Yeah, I agree. My sig was a little out of date as I planned on keeping Lehtonen over Landeskog...until the Niemi signing threw a wrench in everything

[Hockey6723]

I voted Anderson. Has this luongo trade been offered to you or are you guessing?

[hockeymanG23]

I'd keep a second goalie, make it Anderson and use that 14th overall to start drafting strong skaters.

[Goldendelicious]

If you had 2 of Rinne, Holtby, Price, Lundqvist, Bishop, Andersen & Rask I could see keeping 2. Your skater keepers are much better than the your 2nd keeper option in net. Just keep Quick.

[Hoopo]

I'm with Andy. The guy has shown he can be a great option and with the crease in Ottawa less crowded, I don't see him getting challenged for starts by Hammond. This way you don't ave to move any picks.

If you decide against it, I'd suggest hanging on to Eric Staal.
