Waiver Wire: Copley vs Lindgren vs Luukonen vs Raanta

[vincent_n]

Hey all,

Currently, I've got Quick and Bobrovsky and could use another goalie to get my minimum starts consistently and help boost up that end.

On the waiver wire, there is:
- Copley
- Lindgren
- Raanta
- Luukonen
- Varlamov (IR, to return soon)

Cats: W, SV%, GAA, and Shutouts

Please rank the above. Ideally, I'm looking for both consistent/reliable starts as well as decent performance. The above are all borderline starters/backup roles so I'm having a hard time to differentiate them from one another.

Appreciate the advice!

I would go with Copley especially since you have Quick. You can ride the hot hand knowing if Copley falls off, Quick will likely be the one replacing him in your crease to get you your minimum starts. There is some talent in that group but all have question marks. To me if you have Quick and plan on holding him, locking in the (current) Kings tandem is by far the safest option to secure starts.

Another vote for Copley

Copley will secure Kings starts for now.

UPL is the guy most likely to take over as a starter for the rest of the year, followed by Copley. That's a sentence nobody could've predicted.

I'd lean Copley, followed by UPL.

This is great advice and I second it.

I think 6K is on the verge of figuring things out and could be a great asset on an improving Sabres team. That having been said, I could see the logic behind Copley given that Quick is owned, but I happen to have zero faith in him as an NHL netminder.

i think Lindgren is the best goalie here but he is clear back up and you never know how starts line up, i agree with others that given options handcuff to Quick makes most sense.

Im also assuming this is one year league, cause if its deep keeper or Dynasty Lukkonen would be my choice....so i just listed 3 of the 4 guys you asked for lol...but depending on situation my answer changes.
