    Default To GOalie for it or not?

    I am in the 20tm salary keeper in signature. I am in the top five in the standings. This is due to F and D performance. I am ranked dead last or in the bottom three in G categories.

    Like last year, I am in a dilemma. Do i struggle along, make the playoffs, and then lose because of goal tending? Or do i make a move? Or do i wait a year or two and just play my future cards since I have some up and coming G in the wings(Saros/Jarry/Husso/Korpisalo).

    There is interest in these prospect goalies. I might possibly consider trading one of them for another bonafide NHL starter to solve my problem. SInce there is only on G start per day, I can foresee in a few years having a logjam with the aforementioned goalies(i.e. too many to start all).

    So, with all this, do i trade one? Or keep them in the hopes they have a higher future value? If i do trade one, what kind of NHL starter could I expect in return? I know it would most likely have to be some kind of package deal.

    Info and opinions greatly appreciated.

    I'd keep your goalie prospects. They are hard to predict and possibly only 1 turns into a bona fide nhl starter. If more than one does trade them when they have more value.

    It appears you don't need more firepower so trading a goalie prospect for a forward doesn't make sense to me.

    Id look at acquiring a legit nhl starter now so you can compete. You may have to pay with a top forward but trade from strength and address your weakness.

    I'd be VERY willing to deal a goalie prospect + something for a starting NHL goalie. Ideally, you'd get a guy where he is on the same team as one of your prospects, but goalie prospects are essentially the penny stock of the fantasy hockey world - some will hit, but most won't. time to upgrade one to a goalie that helps you now, since your contending window is already open.
