Pavelec or Vasiliveski for 3rd Goalie?!

[Jordyr77]

I traded Eberle, Mason and a 4th for Kopitar and a 2nd. I really needed to diversify as I had too many oilers and Mason was useless. I have Holtby and Fleury who will start almost every week regardless so Mason was really nothing for me. Who would you add to fill in that 3rd goalie spot? Pavs who is on a solid team but has Hutchinson or Vasilevskiy who, if he steals the job from Bishop, could be an elite fantasy option going forward?

In a keep-6, neither Pavs nor Vas are relevant beyond this year. On that basis, I'd take Pavelec. He'll start way more games, and hence, rack up way more points than Vas. THe only way I see Vas outpointing Pav this year is if Bishop gets injured. But you can't count on that type of thing.

Lehtonen (third straight start), Talbot, Ullmark/Lehner, Bernier (yuck), Nuevirth, Howard, Hutchinson and Ramo all also available.

Very much this. pavs is a tad underrated because he is so damned inconsistent but he delivers more than his reputation is.

FWIW, Ramo is going to be the designated starter for Calgary for the foreseeable future, and I think Calgary has started playing a bit better lately. I'd be inclined to grab him.

I like Pavelec.
Winnipeg is a very strong team, the wins win be there and I think he's the clear #1 in front of Hutchinson.
I've been very PRO-Pavelec based on what I see in Winnipeg these days. It's an all-around very solid team with good defensive system.
