Lundquist?? Quite a lot of goalies on waiver

[dchan]

So I drafted Lundquist in the 3rd round in my pool.... Should I drop him for anyone of the ones available? Thanks

Only 7 players in the pool.

Points are as followed

Goaltenders Stat Category Value
Wins (W) 2
Losses (L) -2
Goals Against (GA) -1
Saves (SV) 0.15
Shutouts (SHO) 2

Currently my goalies are Lundquist and F.Anderson

Currently available are;

Martin Jones
Tukka Rask
Ben Bishop
Andrew Vasileskiy
Mike Smith
Cory Schneider
M.A Fluery

Im real confused by your league setup....But I'd rather have the top 4 you listed over Lundqvist.

[MasterByte]

You took Lundy 3rd overall?? Not Crosby or Ovi or something?

Many of those goalies are equivalent or superior to Lundy for this year. I'd drop him immediately for any of these guys:
Tukka Rask
Ben Bishop
Andrew Vasileskiy

Rask likely being the most reliable of those options.

[Chico Resch]

Even in spite of Lundy being a notoriously slow starter, I think that was a REAL stretch to take him 3rd.

I'd absolutely drop him right now for Rask, Jones or Vas. Possibly even for Schneider.

Is it a keeper?

I know I F'd Up although my teams looks pretty good. Actually sorry I took him in the 3rd round

Ah, that makes much more sense. Still not the best pick but like you said not such a big deal. Yes I'd still drop him for one of the guys previously mentioned.

[dchan]

Thanks I think I'm going to let take Vas after tomorrow since Vas probably won't play b2b?

Was also thinking of dropping Trouba.. for Dan Giradi

Nope. I would normally say this would depend on your league stats and setup, but I still think that's a no in almost all cases.

Thanks. I'll post the setup here instead of making a new thread

Forwards/Defensemen Stat Category Value
Goals (G) 1
Assists (A) 1
Plus/Minus (+/-) 0.25
Penalty Minutes (PIM) -0.1
Powerplay Points (PPP) 0.25
Shorthanded Goals (SHG) 1
Shorthanded Assists (SHA) 0.5
Game-Winning Goals (GWG) 1
Shots on Goal (SOG) 0.1
Hits (HIT) 0.10
Blocks (BLK) 0.1

Possible candiates instead of Trouba

Seth Jones
Faulk
Gardiner

[STONE.]

I like Jones over Trouba.
I think Faulk should be better too, but last year gives me a bit of pause (especially with the development of Slavin and Hanifin).

Girardi is...considerably lower on the list. (And by considerably, I mean he's not on the list at all).

Should i do it i was thinking about it

[MasterByte]

Faulk & Trouba are pretty similar, both shoudl typically be owned. You have a very shallow league though.
Because dmen score far less frequently than forwards, you want guys with alot of blocks, hits etc so they are always producing points.

[pull the goalie]

I'd take any of those top 4 over Lundqvist. Maybe even Schneider in some leagues but probably not with your scoring. In a league that shallow (never been in a 7 team league!) if you have unlimited moves, don't get too attached to anyone outside your top 10 skaters and stay active on waivers to pack your schedule. If one of your fringe players has a 2 game week, drop him for a decent player with 4 games.
