    Smith
    Mason

    Miller
    Niemi

    Smith and Mason are both decent starters, Mason has the better team, but also the better backup, plus the injury history.
    Miller is just flat out not good anymore, and on a bad team. Only reason I have him above Niemi, is because your league is based only on volume, and he will start more than Niemi, who could end up playing second fiddle to Lehtonen.

    Of the four, three are not the goalies they were and none of them are named Mason. I would buy into the injury risk and ebtter backup argument of Eskimo, but I would point out that Smith has not been a beacon of stability either and Domingue has proven to be no slouch. Barring the playoff goal blunber, Mason is your bet to give you the best numbers of the three. Miller is not what he was, but Markstrom has not proven to be all that effective at unseating him either. I would roll with Mason if faced with the choice of the four; none being great choices.

    Mason is just two years from his season where he posted top 5 stats in save % & GAA, and now he has a much better team infront of him.

    Mason for me. Smith is 2nd but I like Philly this year. People seem down on them but remember how they finished the end of last season.

    I wouldn't touch Miller, at all. Niemi if desperate.
