    Default Neither?

    I'm not really a big fan of either of these goalies this year but if I had to pick one I would probably go with Thomas....better defensive core and they are using the same system that limits second chances for opposing forwards.

    On the other hand the Wild are going to a new, more offensive system which could end up revealing some weakness that we havent seen from Backstrom to date.

    EDIT - guess I should have read the whole thing, I was answering the question based on a one year, everyone that has posted below me is correct.

    Thomas isn't quite over the hill yet but he's close - Backstrom will be solid for years - take Backstrom.

    Taking age into account I don't see a choice really. With Thomas you might get a full season this year a split season with Rask next year and the next then he'll be 38 and who knows?

    In a keeper league you have to go with the young talent.

    Unless you can trade Thomas sometime during the season I would go with the younger Backstrom in a keeper. Thomas will be splitting time with Rask very soon.
