Schneider probabaly plays all of the first 10 games (unless there's a B2B - haven't checked), so I roll with him. Fleury probably gets at most 8, and then you can re-assess from there.
Holtby and Fleury
Holtby and Schneider
So in my keeper league we have 3 goalies, 2 active and 1 reserve. My goalies are Holtby, Fleury and Schneider. Only the 2 active accumulate points. Once i set my roster at the start of the season I will not be able to reset it until the 10 game mark or approx a month. To maximize my point totals, who do I start day 1.
Holtby is obviously a lock.
So Holtby and MAF or Holtby and Schneider?

Holtby and MAF.
Fleury probably wont play as much as Schneider but I like his chances to put up better overall numbers with your setup. That Devils D makes me nervous.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I started typing to use Schneider over Fleury because that gives you time to assess the Pittsburgh net situation better. But then I realized you only count Wins, SO and OTL which makes this a clear cut win for the Fleury side. Looking at the October schedule for NJ vs PIT, both teams have 1 set of b2b games. Both also face really tough competition. Who has the better chance of coming away with points when facing tough competition? The Penguins or the Devils? Pretty easy choice. I also believe Fleury is given every chance to regain the net early in the season.
For the record, I'm much higher on Schneider this year than Fleury, but only in leagues that count peripheral stats. When you are only looking at the cats you are, you need to take the goalie on the better team
Without me, it's only "aweso".
Schneider is the better goalie but in a league that only counts wins, I'd go with Fleury. Penguins have a much better chance at giving you more wins than the devils
Oh, I had voted in the poll before I realized which cats you counted so one of the votes should be moved from the Schneider side to the Fleury side
Without me, it's only "aweso".
Only because it’s a W,L,OTL league, Holtby Fluery. But it’s August….you have tons of time to decide.

I like Holtby and Schneider. I think with the Hall trade it will ignite a new optimism and life into the offense giving them a a great jump outta the gates.

Without ratios Holtby and MAF are the easy choices. Schneider is awesome, but he wont rack up the wins like the other two.

I'm with Finny here. The Devils were rolling when they had all their players last year. When Cammy went down with his long term wrist injury and others were absent as well, the Devils started struggling.
I think Schneider is an elite goalie on a decent team and can carry them should they have trouble finding their groove early on. I'm not saying he will pull a Price and do it all for his team, but he can definitely get them the win more often than not considering they have added firepower in 2016-17!

Fleury... I'm still not convinced Murray plays more than 40% of the games so first 10 games, and with competition for starts, I think Fleury starts strong
Experience is the teacher of all things.
I like MAF more than Schneids but I just don't like Murray being there. It could be a 40-40 split or worse given what's transpired, so gimme Schneids.

Holtby and Schneider for me. Will get 70 starts in NJ and maybe allows 3 goals in 5 games. The guy is a stud.
