I don't think a BIG comeback is expected, but coming back to being a decent #2 goalie option in a 12 goalie league is a very real possibility. Lets just say I probably wouldn't want him as my #1 in any leagues.
He has claimed he is feeling 100% and that groin issues are in the past now. He looked phenomenal in the world cup. Is it a sign for things to come this season? Or should I lower my expectations on him?

I think there's a chance he has a big comeback and an even better chance that he does very well but I would be cautious. Like Eskimo said, I wouldn't want him as my number one goalie but I like his upside. He's going pretty late in most drafts and could provide a lot of value
I like Bob as a sleeper but I am not hitching my horses to him to carry the load
Experience is the teacher of all things.
if I was targeting bob, i'd try and get korpisalo and Forsberg as insurance (I did the same this summer). he definitely has the talent, but the injury thing is a big issue (and the fact that he says it isn't doesn't reassure me one bit). but once I've got the blue jackets' other potential starters, it becomes much easier to take that chance.

I think Columbus will be hard pressed to win 35 games, let alone Bob. I'd set my expectations on Bob closer to 23-26 wins with second tier peripherals. Definitely a bounceback, but unless he goes full Carey Price and carries the team on his back, I can't see him coming close to 35 wins.
Neither? Both? One got the callups when Bob was injured, one had a great AHL playoff run. I don't think either has the job locked up for sure when Bob goes down with his injury this season. I think you'd be better served getting the handcuff for your #1 goalie than trying to anticipate which of these two is the better own.

On a fantasy hockey break.
We'll have to wait and see if CLB can hit 35 wins, let alone Bob. So that's a no I don't think he's making it that high. 30 is realistic enough though.
I wouldn't grab either of the backups though. It's a coin flip, and no one else is going to want to touch them anyways.

There is also the Torts factor, likes to ride his goalie if they are going hot, but if it goes the other way then all bets off.
