    Default Which goalies to Keep for the playoffs?

    I am currently at first place, now I gotta worry about the playoffs.

    Vasi is untouchable, but I couldn't trust Markstom and Samsonov.
    So, I just grabbed Talbot from FA.
    Which two goalies should I keep other than Vasilevskiy?

    Let me know what you guys think!

    I would go Samsonov and Talbot. Calgary is still struggling too much.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    I would field offers for Markstrom and Talbot to see what's out there. You can't just drop these guys in a 12 team league.

    Guys in my league won’t trade cuz they are just waiting for me to drop one.
    They know I can’t run 4 goalies in the playoffs.
    So out of three goalies, should I drop Marky?
    Or I keep him for the next season?

    When I was in the similar situation, I contacted teams with the lowest waiver priority and managed to make the deal, cant you do the same?

    If not, and you know it will hurt you in PO, I would drop one. And if I was trying to win, I would drop Markstrom based on the performances so far and also because there is a lot of scoring in CGY division. Not like WSH is not conceding goals, but they are winning.

    I would drop Markstrom if you can find a better goalie to help you win this year. I am likely dropping him in my league as I have found no takers for him and have serious doubts about his value going forward.
    Having said that, I don't trust Samsonov either. He has been very inconsistent this year and really doesn't have a long history to go by but WAS is a much better team than CAL. On the other hand, Vanecek is stealing quite a few starts.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    I would drop Markstrom, the high flying North factor can't be overlooked.

    Check your playoff schedules too but barring anything crazy I think you're looking good with Vas/Talbot/Samsonov

    To make a deal, do what Aviator suggested - target a team that won't get the guy you drop via waivers, and make sure it's somebody with value next year. Markstorm is perfect for that strategy, as the division is rough now.
