    Default Saros or Raanta...#1 Waiver Priority

    My team and stats are in the signature.

    Raanta was just dropped. Goalies are overvalued (or highly coveted) in this league.

    Should I drop Saros for Raanta....? Or hope for a better drop to use my #1 Waiver Priority?

    I would have said yes without question a few weeks back but now I’ll be honest unsure.

    I have Raanta so hoping for the best. With the way they started the season 0-2 maybe he gets a shot to win back the crease but kuemper hasn’t been the problem. He has done well. So yeah it depends on your league and goalie value. I would think saros has more value in keeper leagues. But not sure in a keep 5.

    Waivers closing tonight....do I use the #1 priority on Raanta or wait for another (hopefully) desirable drop later on...?

    I would hold onto Saros. Not even a week into the season and likely your #1 waiver will be needed to replace an injury during the year. Saros will play his 30-35 games, and would be some risk acquiring Raanta with plaing time and injuries. As both are depth for you and neither will be keepers, I would bank the #1 waiver until really needed.

    No. Don’t use it yet and certainly not on an unknown situation.

    Looking at your Goalies I don't think you need to jump and waste that waiver move for Raanta. You have Bishop, Rittich, and Hutton and also Blackwood and Saros. I would just stay with that and wait and see what happens later.
