    Question Pick 1 of each tanden: Elliott vs Allen, Niemi vs Lehtonen, Jones vs Stalock

    Points only league that counts W, SO, SV and GA.

    Need to know which of the tandem member I should draft if I need to pick between one of the 2. I know ideally I should get both but our roster size might not allow me to do so.

    I'm leaning towards:
    Elliott over Allen: More experience, and it was his job to loose last season.
    Lehtonen vs Niemi: Before last season i was a huge fan of Kari.
    Jones vs Stalock: Leaning towards Jones because most media think he's the started already. I'm not too sure

    Any feedback is appreciated

    Agree with all your picks, closest call is probably Lehtonen and Niemi as I can see that one going either way, but Lehtonen is the incumbent.

    Elliott... because Hitch is a veteran coach.
    Niemi*... because Dallas success will be attributed to Nill acquisitions
    M.Jones... because they paid for him.

    I think DAL will open their season with Lehtonen... then split the first 6-8 games... then let one guy run with 2/3 each week until he stumbles.
    Ultimately, though, I think they ride Niemi and trade Kari to an Eastern team if anybody needs him. (say, if Halak or S.Mason go down with injury and their teams are in playoff contention.)

    I think Elliott and Jones are the more "obvious" choices (still tough choices though)

    I could really see the Dallas situation playing out either way. Lehtonen seems to be good every other year, so he may be in for nice season. But Niemi is the new toy and will be given plenty of opportunity. These two should be the closest split out of all goalies.

    Allen - He's the future and they began the transition last year. Look to who was in the net in the playoffs. That's their guy. There's no point in taking a step backwards.
    Niemi - If they trusted Lehtonen, what was the point of signing Niemi?
    Jones- Same as above.

    Those are my picks. But each situation can go the other way --or stay at 50/50.
