    Default Gustavsson vs. Emery vs. Varlamov

    So I have 2 high picks in my upcoming draft and I need some goaltending pretty bad, and all 3 of these guys are availiable. If you guys were to rank these goalies how would it go?

    Varlamov- elite talent, elite team, no brainer top pick here


    (Big drop-off)


    Emery- I had to put him ahead of "the monster" because you need goalie help now and he is the starter on a top team in the East.
    Gustavsson- lots of potential but I can't see more than 30 starts this year. Toskala is very underrated, unless he gets reinjured Gustavsson won't be able to play his way into a starters role

    I'm definitely with tryhard on this one.

    I don't know if this if for a keeper league or not, but Varlamov is the best of both world. Emery could surprise with PHI.

    I'm in the same boat. I prefer Emery if it's just one year, and then Varlamov. If it's keeper then I'd rather Varlamov and then Emery. Gustavsson doesn't even register for me and anyone who suggests him has just chugged all the koolaid.

    I would also go Varlamov if keeper.

    For one year, it is a toss up between Varly and Emery.

    Poor Gustavsson, no love for him. . . and none from me. . .I'd go with Varlamov as well. It'll be hard to fail in front of that Caps team. Only Theodore has managed to do that so far.
    We get one of these - Don't waste it.

    Im not entirely convinced about Varlamov for this year so for this year i have to go Emery any year after that i would go Varlamov. Theodore in contract year scares me a bit.
