Lundy v. Allen v. Rinne v. Gibson

[Gern Blansten]

Draft is this weekend and I'd like your opinion on who you'd take as a second goalie behind Holtby.

I draft last so on the turn I'd like to take one of these guys:

Lundqvist
Rinne
Allen
Gibson

Stats: W, GAA, Sv% and Shutouts
Play two goalies nightly, 3 starts per week minimum, no max

Already off the board as keepers: Bishop, Schneider, Rask, Quick, Price and Crawford. Pretty sure Jones will go in the first three picks as a manager said he's taking him (if available) in passing the other night.


Thanks in advance!!

For me:
Gibson (due to off-night bonus, allows better flexibility with a potential 3rd goalie drafted)
Lundqvist
Allen
Rinne

To be honest, I think the top three are all comparable.
I think NYR is stronger than most give credit for... and I expect more bumps for STL than most foresee.
ANA is not as strong as past years, IMO, but I love that off-night schedule in daily-set.

Rinne may have some bumps with Subban there.
It takes a while for a goalie/D to learn each other - could be an extended "feel out" period.

Gibson Lundy are the top 2. I wouldn’t be opposed to drafting Bernier or keeping an eye on him because Gibson is always given the starting role, but never runs with it. Plus Carlyle loved Berneir in Toronto, he may steal starts.

I would have Allen and Hank as the top 2. I like Allen over Gibson for this season.
Rinne isn't a bad option for wins, but his rates won't be as good as the others.

Allen and Hank - I like Rinne but not sure I prefer him over Allen in St Louis now he's the starter...

I'd say Gibson but only if you can get Bernier as the handcuff. Next in line would be Lundy if aquiring Gibby/Bernier is out of the question.

Kinda surprised so much love for Gibson. I like him and all but with Carlyle as coach and Bernier on the team, I wouldn't choose Gibson over Lundqvist or Allen. Then between Allen or Lundqvist I think it's pretty even, maybe a slight edge to Allen since the Rangers defense is still a mess and Elliott is in Calgary now

Thanks all for the comments!!

Rinne went second overall and Gibson, Allen and Lundy all were available when I picked. I must admit to having a bit of paralysis from analysis, froze for about 30 seconds and pulled the trigger on Allen.

Went with Talbot late as a third goalie per Dobbers guide and the same night tool.

that's going to be a nice threesome for you
