    Default Goalie Conundrum

    Keeper League, goalie stats are W SV% and SO. In desperate need of a goalie. Following goalies are available, what do you think. Was leaning Rask but still not sold.

    Rask
    Price
    Bryzgalov
    Lehtonen
    Ward
    Kipper
    Luongo

    Any input would be appreciated.

    Welcome to the boards!

    I'd rank 'em:

    Price
    Rask
    Lehtonen
    Ward
    Bryzgalov
    Kipper
    Luongo

    There's a major emphasis in your league on having a workhorse starter. No better than Price IMO.

    Also major emphasis on stats. Rask can get more wins in less starts.

    I don't disagree but Rask is less proven so that's a factor as well.

    True, but I think the quality of team offsets that, Boston is much better than Montreal

    Yep, that would be how Rask gets more wins in less starts if it happens. Either way, they are 1-2.

    Basically I agree, but I'd bump up Ward a few spots. For a keeper league he's valueable because he's young, yet proven and gets to play behind a much improved team (at least on paper). And his talent has always been top notch.

    For me it's

    Price
    Ward
    Rask (unproven, but may be worth the risk)
    Bryz (inconsistent but gets the wins anyway, didn't really hurt me last season)
    Lu (too much uncertainty at the moment, 50/50 with Schneider? Tor? What's worse?)
    Lehtonen (injury prone as we all know and Nihlstorp has been looking good)
    Kipper (old, contract expires after upcoming season)
    24 team H2H dynasty, fantasy points, no cap
    Skaters: G 4.5 (5 for Ds), A 3, PPG 1.5 (2 for Ds), PPA 1 (1.5 for Ds), SHP 2, Ft 2, HIT 0.6, BLK 0.6, SOG 0.3 (0.4 for Ds), FW 0.1, Tk 0.5 // Gv -0.3
    Goalies: W 3.5, SHO 5, SV 0.5, A 3 // GA -3, L -1.5
    4C, 4LW, 4RW, 6D, 2G, 4BN, 4IR

    C: McDavid, MacKinnon, Hischier
    LW: B.Tkachuk, Ovechkin, Paul(C), Jankowski(C)
    LW/RW: Meier, Fiala, Giroux(C), Niederreiter
    RW: Reinhart, Anderson, Armia
    D: Josi, Matheson, Durzi, Moser, Cernak, Zadorov, Siegenthaler
    G: Daccord, Merzlikins, Vanecek, Pickard

    I agree with Price/Rask. I like Rask but still on the fence because he's still somewhat unproven and seems to be a bit injury prone. Boston is also a better team than Montreal but might have to take a gamble to get out of the goalie pit I've been in.

    I'd rank 'em:

    1. Rask - Stupid talent. A lot of wins and solid sv%. Has always flashed his elite ability when splitting time with TT.
    2. Ward - A young horse who never had enough offensive support. He does now.
    3. Price - Another horse. He and Ward are going to be close. I like Ward's forward better.
    4. Bryz - If he plays how he did in the playoffs, a lot of Ws. Not as strong a sv% as the previous goalies.
    5. Lehtonen - He may put up better #s than Bryz, but dude gets hurt too much for me to rank him before the goalies I have ahead of him.
    6. Kipper - Very underrated netminder. Only knock besides age is the team's overall state of flux.
    7. Luongo - Where will he be, splitting time in Van or elsewhere? Too many question marks until we know where he will be.

    I'd rank them like this also.

    I wouldn't be worried about Rask as the starting goalie since he played that role a few seasons ago and did quite well. He also plays for one of the best teams overall out of your other choices
