Second goaltender: Schneider, Varlamov or Andersen

[Gato.noir29]

For the league in Sig-

Can't decide who I want to back up Holtby this season in my keeper league:

Schneider

Varlamov

Andersen

[Pengwin7]

Schneider.

[Dennis4022]

I would pick Andersen. Whoever you take will not be a keeper, so just take the one who will win the most games and still have a good GAA and SV%.

If this was just about skill, i'd pick Schneider, but New Jersey is going to be really bad and that will hurt his numbers.

[Ingolo]

I'd go with Anderson as well. I see him and Varly ending up with similar W and SO totals, but I'd trust Anderson more for SV% and GAA. Agree with Dennis4022 that whoever this is clearly won't be a keeper, so just go with the best "This Year" option. Might be worth looking at whose schedule is most favourable with Holtby's as well.

Andersen for me as well. Best team and his stats won't be any worse than the other two - in fact, his SV% will probably be the same and his GAA will be better.

You put a strong emphasis on this year, so I'm going with Andersen even though he doesn't have the talent of the other two. I can't imagine how bad Andersen would have to play this season for the Ducks to turn to Khudobin or Gibson.

[Pit Bulls]

Which Andersen - F. or C.? If it's F., I'd take Andersen. He will provide better stats based on your sig than the others.

I'm taking Schneider. He will have better SV% and GAA than Varlamov and Andersen. SO are a crapshoot. For Wins, Anaheim will surely get more than NJ but how sure are we that Andersen will be in net for most of them? He likely will be and say win 35. Schneider should win 25-30 himself. Consider another plausible scenario in Anaheim: Andersen has a stretch of bad games and Khudobin plays well (which he's done for good stretches in the past). You know BB like to sgo with the hot hand. Andersen is by no means a sure thing to have the #1 gig all season-long. Last year, he was so close to losing it but thanks to a timely injury to Gibson, he managed to retain it.

Varlamov is an interesting option but I don't think he'll put up better stats than Schneider and is injury-prone.

[Dennis4022]

Which Andersen - F. or C.? If it's F., I'd take Andersen. He will provide better stats based on your sig than the others.

Who is C. Andersen ? If you are talking about the Ottawa goalie, his name is Craig Anderson.

[stotan]

Frederick Andersen for sure. Goalie on the best of the three teams so will get the most wins and good stats. Also Anaheim has a killer off-day schedule, meaning you'll probably get more games out of him. Plus, its always nice having two goalies in separate conferences so they don't play each other as often.

[Kabonov]

Andersen - will probably be best for you this season.

Schneider - would be top pick but you wouldn't be getting to much Ws (his only downside, rest of teh cats will be top tier)

Varlamov - Wild card. if he did what he did 2 years ago or repeat last season... signs point to improvement but we'll see what his Groin says...
