Which goalie and D pair do you prefer. This year only. (Rep and a new cool nickname.)

[thunderfist138]

I need to upgrade at net and at D. Recently dropped streit for vrana, and Theodore is in the A.

I think I have two options. Currently have 1.25 mil cap space.

To do either I'm looking at dropping Nino and hellebyuck (after I give a few games to see if he can wrestle the starting job from mason.) in which case I might just dump Nino for a d man. Replacing him with vrana or hartnell

Best goalie available
Freddy Andersen 5m plus one of these D.
Michael stone. 3.5
Edmundsson 1.05
hamonic. 3.3
Del zotto. 3

Holden. 1.64
Manson. .825
Hutton. 2.8
Lindell. 2.2

Leaning towards Andersen and Lindell

Or

Lehner 4m and one of
Brodie 4.65
Muzzin. 4
Larsson. 4.17


Any insight is greatly appreciated. I've see second place lose by under fifty points a few years in a row. It stays pretty tight in the smaller 9gm league.

Andersen is the best player you mentioned, so I'd go with him and either Hutton or Lindell for the 'D' spot.

[thunderfist138]

You see there being that big of a difference between Andersen and lehner this year? Andersen is more steady, but in a full season they might not be that far apart. I'll look more into Hutton and Lindell, see if they are getting pp2.

Yea Andersen and anybody- the dropoff to Lehner is way too much to xconsider a marginal D upgrade.

I don't really trust Lehner to stay healthy. Maybe this is the season when he becomes a reliable starting goalie but I wouldn't want to gamble with that if I have the option to go with Andersen instead.

I think they're both getting PP2 minutes but Lindell's minutes may be more limited because Klingberg likes to stay out there on the PP. But the Dallas PP is probably better than the Vancouver PP.

[thunderfist138]

I think I'm leaning towards Lindell, pouliot and del zotto will likely eat into any bump Hutton would get from pp time .

[GoNucks]

Andersen definitely between the goalies, is there a drop you can make to allow room for Andersen & Brodie?

If not Andersen & Lindell would be next best option.

Yea without the brutal slump to start the season I see Andersen clearing 35+ wins this year. I graduated him to tier 2 at the beginning of the year and Im sticking with that.

Thanks for the cool new nickname btw. Ive always wanted one my whole life- but nobody ever gives me one. I even came up with a backstory for it. I used to be a mild mannered accountant Buzzard- doing day trading on worms and real estate of which cars to sh*t on- when one stormy autumn day- disaster struck. My b*tch buzzard boss hit me with his truck. My only chance for survival was experimental surgery that came with the caveat that Id have to pay back the initial cost by heading a strike team of elite soldiers in matters of national buzzard security. They re-built me. Now I am...

The Bionic Buzzard!!

Hahahahah! Yes! I should have been handing out nicknames for years!

[thunderfist138]

If I dropped pavelski and hellebyuck I could pick up Brodie and Andersen

Thanks, I have to spread rep around before I get to you. But your new cool nickname is
