Value of Varlamov in a keeper pool
Hey All,
So, this past draft I managed to pick up Neuvirth mid-2nd round which I was very happy about and obviously have been happy with since. I have been rebuilding my team (see sig below) over the last year and was happy to get a young goalie to fit with the group.
I have been debating the idea of going after Varlamov and moving Lehtonen in a kind of a buy low (Varlamov), sell high (Lehtonen before he gets hurt again) scenario.
At the start of the season Varlamov's value was high, he's young, had the #1 spot, etc. But now it has to be less. He's building a band aid boy reputation and it looks as though Neuvirth is really seizing his opportunity.
My question to the Dobber brain trust is this:
What is Varlamov's value in a 24 team keeper league? (see sig for points).
Is it still high?
Med with the recent events?
or low being injury prone & lost his job?
I already have Lehtonen, I don't need another risky goalie just like him.
But, having the pair (Neuvirth & Varlamov) would allow me to solidify my goalie situation going forward and move Lehtonen to upgrade some other pieces.
Thanks in advance!
