    Default Halak or Lehtonen?

    Currently rostering Elliott and Talbot (results have been mixed) and looking to carry a third goalie in a 12 team weekly H2H with W L GAA SV% SO. Lehtonen and Halak look to be the best pick-ups available (Greiss and Neimi are also unowned). Thoughts?

    Halak because he's the actual starter.

    I'd take Lehtonen, as I don't think it's as easy as saying Halak because "He's the actual starter".
    The Dallas Stars are clearly the better team this year, and let's be real, though Lehtonen *might* not get as many starts as Halak, his upside this year far exceeds what I think any tender will be able to do in front of the Isles, who are kinda looking to be a hot mess.

    You have two other very decent starters in Elliott & Talbot, and I'd be looking to add the goaltender that plays in front of a potential Stanley Cup team.

    I'd take halak ; he's played rather well so far for the isles and we all saw his performance in the Wcup.

    ironically , I'm utilizing a halak-lehtonen-niemi tandem in one of my dynasty leagues

    Halak being the starter gives him a solid edge in W and likely SO. Halak and Lehtonen are similar enough in GAA and SV%, that I don't see it being a deciding factor. I just feel like there is much more upside with Halak. Especially after how good he looked in the World Cup.
