this is really the best of the rest

[finnys_fanatsy]

Anders Nilsson, Van - stealing #1?
Mike Condon, Ott - solid backup
Carter Hutton, StL - wont see much time but solid team
Anton Khudobin, Bos - Rask injury unknown...
Cam Ward, Car - just..i dunno
Aaron Dell, SJ - potentially?

do i drop Chad J for any of these?..and yes, this is as bad as it looks

[lucafen4]

I'd honestly think about holding CJ... buffalo can't actually be this bad again can they? I mean, what does Nilsson as a #1 actually look like vs. Markstrom in Van - he's still going to get shelled. that tandem is a tire fire - I'd steer clear. I think CJ has a real opportunity to steal the job from Lehner who just doesn't seem to want to be a #1 goalie. He was in a similar spot last year in Calgary with Elliott and outperformed Elliott most of the season. I think he's your safest option for the entire season. Khudobin would be good, but short term. Once Rask is back he's back to 1/4 starts

Lehner missed practice today with an illness so hold CJ for now. Nilsson I'd consider for the starter potential, albeit not a great starter or team. Khudobin could get a run with the Bruins crease, and if that's the case that'd be nice but unlike Nilsson, he would have to give it right back when the starter returns.

Agree with Lucafen... again (seems we’re dialed in on a bunch of threads).

CJ is the better keep here. I don’t trust Lehner and do believe Buffalo is underachieving.

Then I’d essentially rank the rest close but in the reverse order of how you listed them in the original post.

If it's a standard max-start league, I'd probably go with Hutton so you have 82gp from a good-looking STL team.
Then I'd flex out Hutton for Kinkaid, then back to Hutton immediately after a Kinkaid start.
And that'll give you 82gp from a NJ-team that will give up a lot of shots (and hence, GET you a bunch of SV).

Easy peezy.

Not a max start but max FA aquistions of 25 per year..already used 7 or 8.

The list I posted wasn't exactly a 1st to last list..just as they came off ESPN ranked by SV%.

What about Cam Ward -- anyone think differently after win against EDM the other night?

[Sulla]

I’d be keeping Johnson in these circumstances
