    Default Pick up Lehtonen or Ward?

    My goalies Thomas and Quick have been good for most of season until recently.

    Thinking of adding a 3rd keeper to help with Wins.

    Was slow on adding Halak and just waited too long.

    Looking at Ward (putting up much better stats lately) vs Lehtonen (back from injury).

    Who's better for rest of the year without harming? Or keep what I have in nets?

    It doesn't get much better than Thomas and Quick, but you might want to try and pick up or trade for Tuukka Rask. You're goaltending would be absolutely unbeatable if you had Rask.

    Ward would be my choice as well. Lehtonen's injury history makes me a bit concerned about him.

    I think that if you're choosing between the two for a third keeper, then my guy is Cam Ward, who I like more long-term.

    If you're choosing for now until the end of the year, then my guy is Kari Lehtonen. He's playing at the top of his game right now and Dallas is right in the hunt for a playoff spot in the west. Carolina is 11 points out of a playoff spot right now and if that gap doesn't change for the better or gets even worse in the next handful of games Carolina will probably end up being sellers at the deadline. It's great that they locked up Gleason but Ruutu Spacek and Allen are all UFAs in the offseason that could potentially get dealt.

    My two cents.

    It would just be for rest of the year. (should have used 3rd "goalie" instead of "keeper" to avoid confusion in my original post)

    Likely only going to keep Quick.

    Rep given, thanks.
