    Default Drop Ward or Howard for Vasilevskiy?

    We start 2 goalies. I currently own Rinne, Lundquist, Howard and Ward. Of the 4, in our stat setup Howard has the worst numbers. Thinking of the future, I'm considering picking up Vasilevskiy, let him ride my bench and keep him for next year and beyond....

    Thoughts?

    I don't think he's going to get any more starts than the other two this year....but if it doesn't hurt to hold him and spot start him when possible then I'd grab him.

    I think I would drop Ward. Howard will still be given chances to start with Detroit. I think Ward may get the more starts....but they won't be as good with the Canes as Howard will be with the Wings.

    Considering you own Rinne and Lundqvist, I would say that yes you can afford to keep Vas and put him on your bench. I'd drop Ward though. Although he may get more starts that Howard, I'm more confident in Howard's abilities (and fantasy-point potential) than I am in Ward's...
