    Default Need Goalie Help...

    Have Allen and Price but they are not giving me many/any wins in my Goalie Cat's. We keep 8 players so doubtful any of my pick-ups will become a keeper - but need help for the rest of this year. Options available are:

    Varlamov
    Raanta
    Lehner
    Darling
    Saros
    Luongo
    Subban

    I have 9 moves left in the regular season, so was thinking about picking up Luongo or Varlamov and placing them on my IR and then adding an additional G.

    Who would you pick-up?

    How many goalies do you start on a daily basis?

    I would take this into consideration and use the Same-Night Tool to see which goalie you can pick up to maximize your starts.

    I think Allen will start getting you wins again here...

    I agree with picking up one of either Luongo or Varlamov. I'd probably say varly, as he'll be back sooner plus Luongo may get eased into things and split starts with reimer.

    If you pick up Varly and put on IR, grab Bernier if available. He and Colorado are playing well.

    With only 9 moves left for the entire season, I don't think that I would advise using two adds to stash Varlamov and get Bernier.

    I almost feel like you have to sink or swim with Allen and Price. The other options just aren't appealing enough to me.

    Is Hutton available? While I don't think he's a long term play, he only costs you one add, and ensures that you get all of St. Louis' starts until Allen takes the reigns back.

    I'm guessing you only need to use 1 add to pick up the injured goalie, and teh IR replacement is free. If that's true, Varlamov & the free replacement makes sense.

    IR replacements aren't free in Yahoo - every guy you pickup burns a move

    At any rate, I'd stash Varly and pickup Bernier as well. COL is very underrated this year.

    Varly is number 1, I would say Subban or Saros are number 2. Either one will get you a W when they play, you just need to be really selective with them. 4 of these tendys are my tendys on my team (she's bleak boys)

    Yea - will burn 2 moves if I pick-up both Bernier and Varly - but the 9 remaining moves are for the regular season only. We then re-set to 8 moves for the play-offs should be one of the top 8 that make the play-offs. Price and Allen are killing me with GAA and SV% so my only hope would be winning the W category. With Allen not playing - am losing in this area as well! Saros should start once a week, and there is an outside chance that something happens over the summer that moves his time line up to be the starter in Nashville (and thus possible a keeper). Top Goalies in this league are GOLD as we allow daily starts and if you have 2 top Goalies you can rotate more postional players in that help you win the other categories.

    Not sure when Allen will get back to starting more games so may need to make the move to add Varly/Bernier or Saros but is a really togh call...
