Bobrovsky is still the best bet here to earn the most starts & wins. Lehner is hurt all too often (even more than Bob) and Smith is entering a time share with Domingue.
Looking for a third goalie for this year after Lundqvist and Dubnyk. It's a keeper league although these guys will probably not be kept. Wins (4) GA (-2) SV (0.25) SHO (5) Max GP (82 x 2)
Bobrovsky: Clean start for CBJ with Torts and Jones. Can they get their act together? Bob is looking pretty damn good at the WCH.
Mike Smith: Coyotes were actually good at home last year (22-15-4) and Smith had a .930sv% at home. Predictable split stats are very valuable in points leagues with games limits.
Lehner: How good will Buffalo be this year? His stats last year were not that bad. Chance of a breakout? There's always the thought in the back of my head that I will need to replace Lundqvist as a keeper eventually. Every other young goalie with potential is stashed away as goalies are very valuable in this league.

Smith has become a bit of a joke in these parts but I think the team in front of him is much more sound this year. Health will be a concern, but if he can keep that together then he should be a low to mid tier tendy. Lehner is not only injury prone, but he's got a lot of b2bs this year. He's probably not reaching 50 starts. I wonder as well if Tim Murray tries to snag an elite goalie like Bishop or Fleury if Lehner starts shaky.

Toss a coin... All carry risk and reward but I feel Bob is probably the best by the slimmest of margins

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
For me it would be:
Bob
Smith
Lehner
I have faith in Bob/Smith to get enough starts to be relevant, and to have averages that won't kill a fantasy squad. Bit of a bounce back from both. Lehner I think could have some worse numbers, and play less games.

I think the 'yotes faced an average of 31 shots against last year...this year, once you get past OEL and Goligoski it's slim pickings on D....I'm willing to give Lehner much more rope than Smith.
