    Default Do I need to trade a goalie?

    So I'm looking to win this year, and went out of my way to draft F Andersen with an early pick just to try screw over a few teams who desperately need goalie help (lots of goalie stats in this league) Should I be looking to move Quick or Darling considering how hard it will be to find starts for all my goalies or should I let the league sweat a little bit and see who gets desperate for a tender? Could I even consider just having 5 goalies for the entire season? I think my forwards are strong enough to lose a bench spot or two for goalies. Thanks for your help!

    My only concern with your roster is PIMs and perhaps a little light on hits. You need an Emelin or Gudas to have on the bench and play when needed against certain opponents. But you don't need to trade a goalie for that. Perhaps Andersen or Quick could fetch a return that would provide an elite player. But that's not a given. You should probably wait. Hopefully your trade bait goalies don't fall on their faces but it's a possibility. You're sort of stuck between getting a return for a goalie that doesn't really improve your team and waiting and possibly having the value for you goalies go way down if they end up playing like crap. That's why I don't draft (particularly with mercurial goaltending) players that don't help my team except via trade. It usually doesn't work out.

    Someone will pay up by mid-october. Try to get a Simmonds or Buff type player out of it.
