    Default Ranta - worth dropping Helly or Budaj?

    I have Price, but we need 4 minimum starts each week, and I am always nervous about either Helly or Budaj leaving me short on starts. So I'm kinda set on keeping 3 goalies. But I don't absolutely need three guys who get 80% of their team's starts. Would it be worth dropping Helly or Budaj for Ranta before he gets scooped up? He seems to figure to get a fair number of starts, even if he will not be the #1 goalie by any means.

    Thanks!

    No. This is a nice stretch he is on but the chance of Raanta usurping the crease from King Henrik is about nil. A few will make the mistake of dumping quality long-term assets to jump on the Raanta bandwagon. Dont be one of them.

    Glatt's got it nailed. Raanta isn't a Murray or Vasil. The King is still King. Budaj's getting more like 98% of starts in LA and will keep the net for at least 2 more months. Helle's only going to improve throughout the season, Raanta will go back to seeing more spot start play. AV's just riding the hot hand at the moment.

    I wouldn't drop either of those guys for Raanta unless Quick was coming off the IR tomorrow which would severely cut into Budaj's time / starts.

    Glatt nailed it... When Quick is back would I drop Budaj for him? Yes but not right now as Raanta may steal the odd start but he won't provide more volume than the other two you have
    Experience is the teacher of all things.
