I would target one of Ellis, Clemmensen, or Ellis....all should get 20 starts and might have an opportunity to steal starting job if the 1 falters or gets injured (Leclaire)
I'm trying to nail down a solid third goalie to carry in my keeper league (signature team), and if the Harding trade stove is still warm then that could make my decision for me.
As a preemptive follow-up to the question above, who would you target from the list below as my third goalie?
Dwayne Roloson
Ty Conklin
Martin Biron
Scott Clemmensen
Dan Ellis
Jaroslav Halak
Brian Elliott
Brian Boucher
Peter Budaj
Josh Harding
Corey Crawford
Rick DiPietro
Jimmy Howard
Antti Niemi
Jonathan Bernier
Cory Schneider
Ondrej Pavelec
p.s. Markstrom is still available, too, but I already have S. Mason in place as my keeper (and Hiller there in case Mason falters)... so, I'm looking more for someone who can help support a championship run this year.

There has been nothing in either paper in the Twin Cities. Michael Russo is the beat reporter for the STrib following the Wild. He's not too bad. Usually sniffs things like that out.
Here's his most recent effort:

D: Karlsson, Josi, Shattenkirk, Gudas, Parayko
G: Holtby, Allen, Talbot
Gotta think Harding is going to get traded at some point, but your guess is as good as mine.
As for a support goalie to make a run, I think Theodore is far and away your best bet. If he manages to hang on to the starter's role for most or all of the season, he should give you some nice numbers in the Wins column.
Second choice would probably be Biron or Roloson. Personally I think Biron will be the Isles starter if DiPietro can't play. Just a hunch.

Theo and Biron should be starters for the start of the season.Others who could see lots of time and wins are , Conklin , Elliott , Clemmenson.

Theodore has since been taken... Biron is one that is interesting, but he scares me since my league counts GAA and SV%.
