Neuvirth by quite a bit.
If you had the choice between these guys who would you pick?

It's for a keeper, but I'd like to be competitive this year. I have Carey Price and will be taking another starter...Boucher or Neuvirth would be my G3.
Boucher seems to have the lower ceiling on his performance, but he's got the job for the 1st month and possibly longer if Leighton's back doesn't improve.
Neuvirth has the better skill set and keeper value, but is semi-blocked by Varlamov who is the incumbent starter, but seems to be injury prone.
Neuvirth by quite a bit.
Boucher has had 22 and 33 starts over the last two years, and struggled last year (.899 S%). Neuvirth looks primed to get several to many starts this year. I'd guess it would have to be more than 20, and only that low if Varly rocks the house.
Soooo, Neuvirth it is. Should have at least as many starts as Boucher (probably more) and likely to do better.
seems like Boucher isn't the answer then. I just thought the starts in hand might have made him more appealing since as the ramblings said whoever starts in PHI will be getting a bunch of wins.
What about Niitymaki vs Neuvirth?
Neuvirth.
Noone is confusing Nittymaki with Johnny Bauer.
His wonky back, complimented with Neimi (who I really like) makes it an obvious choice for me.
