    Default Dubnyk/Allen/Brian Elliot

    Hi guys,

    Sorry, but I'm new to the forum. My categories are W(2) L(-2) SO(2) SV(0.15) GA(-1) for goalies. Right now I have Allen and Dubnyk and Brian Elliot is in the FA pool. Should I take Brian Elliot over Devan Dubnyk? I don't have a lot of confidence that Minnesota will do too well after last seasons performance. Any thoughts?

    Welcome to the forums.

    I'd hold Dubnyk if it's me. I think Boudreau coming in changes things up for the Wild, in a good way.

    Since it's points (volume based) I am going to go with Dubnyk since he should play a good chunk more games than Elliott.

    Do you start 2 goalies or 1? If 2, I'd consider adding Elliott as a 3rd and dropping your worst position player. I wouldn't drop Dubnyk for him, but with 24 CGY games on slow hockey nights, there could be lots of added goalie starts available with Elliott - which would boost your point totals.

    W(2)L(-2) is pretty harsh settings.
    You simply can't roster a goalie on a losing team.
    I'd almost prefer a back-up goalie on a really decent team, maybe even Carter Hutton.

    I wouldn't touch Elliott as CGY isn't a great team and I'm not even confident he's their long-term guy.
    I'd hold Dubnyk. MIN is still a solid team... their young kids don't get enough credit and their D is underappreciated in fantasy circles, but very solid.
    Moving on from Vanek will help the team overall.

    I'm not sure I'm sold on Calgary not being a good team as their goaltending really let them down... Not sure there's much/any gain going from Dubnyk to Elliott though
    Experience is the teacher of all things.

    Thanks! Just needed a bigger vote in confidence in the team in front of Dubnyk.
