    Default Late round goalie #2 pick, please help

    Due to a brutal goalie run, and having made trades last year I am hurting on goalies.

    I have a strong team up front but only have Talbot as a goalie in round 13 of my draft. Every other team has 2-3 goalies with only one other manager besides me having 1 goalie at this point. There should be no other managers grabbing for goalies for the next round, but you never know.

    The question is who would you take first as a goalie MAF and VEgas or Raanta in ARZ?

    I also plan to grab Mason late in the draft for Goalie #3 and either goalie gets me the same number of games played without a conflict. I have the guide and it points out the schedule and goal scoring being low for teams vs Vegas so that should help them out. I think Raanta might have a higher upside?.. Is that just me.

    Who would you grab first or "what difference does it even matter" at this point?

    I love both Mason & Raanta as great value draft picks this year.
    Winnipeg is going to be very good... and the D in front of Mason (Buff, Trouba, Morrissey, Myers, Enstrom, Kulikov) are one of the best full 6D in the league, IMO.
    Then you've got two very dynamic lines to go with that.

    Arizona has the benefit of FIVE games against Vegas + Vancouver + Colorado.
    There's a lot of wins there just because the West has such low-end teams.
    Raanta & ARI even open with two of their first three against Vegas and I think ARI >> VEG... so take those wins to start the year, at least.

    Vegas is going to be a pretty bad team to start.
    The chemistry of putting together a new team should be really poor at least through the first two months.
    I expect them to open the season around 4-16-2... something like that.
    I'm not touching any Vegas players in any +/- leagues, I think they'll be disastrous.
