Dubnyk vs Andersen

[Pengwin7]

Some good posts.

As much as I like Andersen(ANA) for his schedule in H2H... in ROTO, I might be leaning towards Dubnyk.
I really, really like the WILD. I think they could compete for top team in the West - and as chuckcouples said - Dubnyk has ZERO competition.
The Wild, defensively, are a tremendous team.
They've been able to make crappy goalies like good for stretches at a time.
Last year, I actually targeted the tandem of MIN goalies (Backstrom/Kuemper) simply because of how strong the MIN team is... (and target both because there was doubt in who would emerge).

In ROTO, team is very important and MIN is going to be super strong, super-dupa strong.
Especially with a couple young D emerging (Brodin, Dumba).

Top-to-bottom, I like MIN more than ANA.

I'm gonna go with Dubnyk for ROTO.
Yes, a potential top five fantasy goalie.

(Of note: His GAA/SV% won't be as good as last year, but it'll still be very, very good... and look for 40-45 wins, which will be top five.)

Sorry guys, still not sold on the Dubnyk thing - stats look good, but so do Andersen's. And Andersen is on the better team, straight up. I understand Dubnyk has no competition for #1 and just signed a long, healthy contract, but I'd wait a bit before investing a high pick on the dude. Perhaps it's more of a gut thing at this point, but I'm going with Freddy.

At the end of the day, it's your team and you have to make decisions you are comfortable with. We are here to offer opinions and suggestions. That doesn't mean you have to agree with them all.

Sorry Axeman, didn't mean anything by it, was just offering my point of view. Learning a lot about Dubnyk from this thread so it's definitely shedding some light on things for me. I actually am hoping I'm wrong, as it looks at this point in my league, he may be one of the only few good goalie options available come draft time and I could bulk up my back end for sure!!

It's all good mate. As I say, you have to do what you think is best for your team. No offense taken on my part. I hope it works out for you.

Andersen for me. I'm not sold on Dubnyk yet. Also, he has the better team in front of him.

I like Andersen between the two....I am not sold on the short body of work of Dubnyk vs his years of average numbers.
