    I generally believe people shouldnt leave dog shit laying around, but in this case you should move along and let someone else deal with that steaming pile.

    Nope... Fleury is also struggling but you're swapping one problem for another

    Varlamov is NOT an upgrade to any of your goalies.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    No, and I'm sure there is not a starting goalie in the NHL who Varlamov is an upgrade over right now, except maybe Budaj. There are at least a half-dozen (and probably more) backups or tandem guys I take over him, including Pickard on his own team.

    You can never have enough goalie options in a H2H league that has a SAVES category. I would pick Varlamov up and drop one of your centres to do so.

    With your settings Bryan Little is never going to see your weekly roster. Not with all of the, specifically, C's you have in front of him. It is a start 2C weekly league. Even with the 2F spots you have each week Bryan Little will not beat out your depth.

    Varlamov is a 'proven' workhorse goaltender. You might not roster him with the goalies that you have but, as fickle fickleness goes, you just might need the starts later in the season. Talbot is your number 1. Fluery, Hellebuyck have not locked up your number 2. I can envision a scenario that sees you starting Varlamov over those two. Fickle world guarding that cage! With SAVES as one of the four goalies cats (1/4 : 25%) and goalie cats as four of your fourteen team cats (4/14 : 29%) Varlamov's presence on your bench is more valuable to your team than having a 5th centre. Ride him out for a stretch as you aren't risking much. It's always possible to drop him for a streaking skater later in the season if it improves your team.
