    Default Safe to drop Howard?

    I've held onto him for a while, and he seems to keep sucking. Reimer is avaiable as a replacement, or I could use it as a streaming position and just take a new person each week depending on needs. What do you think? Thanks!

    Sure, he's not a keeper for you and I expect that that ship has sailed. He was dropped in my league a long time ago.

    Dropping Howard is a given but I'm not sure Reimer is the answer. Streaming goalies isn't easy either. Which goalies are available via free agency in your league?

    I believe in Korpisalo. Appears to be the clear-cut starter for now too. Ward is OK, but Lack is beginning to steal starts. Condon is going to make the Habs miss the playoffs.

    Lehner is also playing very well since his return, I nabbed him and even in losses he's not hindering me 2GA in his last 4 or 5 starts, not bad at 35+ SA/gm.

    Leaf goaltending is an enigma this season, although Reimer has Babcock's confidence atm...

    Lehner/Korpisalo are my endorsements

    Wow, slim pickings. Try streaming with favourable match ups and if any of these guys catch fire, ride them until they come back down to reality. Tough goalie situation there.

    If it were my team I'd drop Howard, add a skater and roll with Crawford & Mrazek to be honest.

    I would go with Lerner as well. Just need to strategically start him.

    Yeah goalies are a hot commodity for us, since they take up quite a bit of our categories. I can stream maybe 1 move a week, some weeks 2 due to limited moves, and wanting to keep enough room to use our max of 3/week for the last 3 weeks (playoffs - gotta make the assumption I'll get to finals in this scenario lol)
