    Default How comfortable should I be with bishop and Hellebuyck as my starters?

    Big question mark over Hellboy, too many cooks in wpg even with him Being the better option.
    Should I draft a third goalie or could I be comfortable with this tandem?
    Even if Bishop gets traded, I'm confident he stays as a number one option.
    Thoughts?

    You should be comfortable with Bishop but you will need a better option than Hellebuyck if you are expecting fantasy numbers from him all season long.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, SBennett

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    In a 9GM league, I think you should be able to find another goalie option to supplement the ones you have.
    Bishop should be great, but I agree with Axe that Helly is not one to throw your chips in with this season.

    100% you need a third goalie - they may become expendable if Helly gets the call full time but right now I don't see that until 2017-18

    Thanks! That's what I was thinking myself. Really wish they didn't keep all three signed for this season.

    I would try to get a starter for sure. If for some reason you can't, hopefully Vasilevskyi is available and you can handcuff Bishop.

    I would consider Helleybuck your third goalie as of now. You need a second goalie, high priority, but as EB stated, 9GM league starting 2G, shouldn't be hard to find one.

    sorry I didn't mean as in third goalie in a depth chart way more a third goalie to go to the total - totally agree it needs to be a starter

    You need a guy to be your second goalie in the lineup, a tandem guy at worst.
