    Default Varlamov vs Mason

    Is Varly done?
    I took over a team in a salary cap dynasty league 2nd worst and rebuilding it.
    He was just dropped. Should I use my #1 waiver priority and drop Mason?

    Colorado is the worst team in the league.... there's zero value in adding him. Mason & Philly will come out of their funk and losing streak... Mason >> Varly just based on team and environment alone

    Mason much better than Varl, Mason is a top performer for saves & save % over the past few years since he joined Philly, and Philly is only going to get better with their young talent.

    I wouldn't waste it on Varlamov, he looks done for this season and possibly even further than that.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    I'm not opposed to adding Varlamov especially if you're building beyond this year but I wouldn't waste my waiver priority for him. I still prefer chancing it with Mason though.

    Ick - keep Mason and pick up someone else other than Varly. I've dropped him from 2 of my leagues many moons ago.
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    "done" means done as a fantasy-worthy goalie.

    Mason > Varlamov for dynasty fantasy.

    Mason should get a contract after this one which runs out this year. He's been a roughly average goalie over the last few years, but is simultaneously mentally soft, and a bit injury-prone. He need to be the unquestioned guy on a team where the back is good enough to give him rest, but no threat to the job. No team should hitch themselves to him long term for big dollars, but he's fine as a backup goalie in the NHL or on a short contract as a bridge goalie.

    I think Varlamov is a risk to end up in the KHL before his contract runs out. He's been poor for 2 straight years, is hurt now, and has his one All-Start season looking like an aberration. I don't see him being more than a backup in the NHL on a decent enough team to not kill your numbers.

    I expect both these guys to be unprotected for Vegas.

    Mason, is way better goalie. Colorado is terrible and Varlomov is fantasy irrelevant.

    In a re build I like to hoover up assets... Varly for 'free' makes sense especially if you can just drop him again - wouldn't be at the expense of Mason though
