    Default Replace Ward

    A few goalies are floating around in my pool to replace Ward with:

    7 Team Roto - W GAA SV% SO
    Lehtonen (on iR and we don't have an IR spot)
    Bryzgalov (just dropped)
    HIller

    My other two tenders are Price and Brodeur but ward is absolutely killing me. Is he going to turn things around with the weak D on Carolina or shoudl i grab one of the other options?

    I'd keep Ward over any of the available options.

    MIght have to keep him on the bench for a bit until he gets back in the groove, like a wet paper bag back there lately.

    I like Lehtonen, I would just continue to keep an eye on his progress and snag him as soon as he is about to return.

    not sure i would keep playing ward if he is killing your stats so if you are going to sit someone on your bench may as well be lehtonen until he gets back then play him

    lehtonen is much better than ward for you once he gets healthy imo

    Yeah i'm thinking of just dropping ward picking up Lehtonen and rolling 2 goalies for now.

    Then essentially keep an eye on ward to see if a return to form comes about.

    I guess the other option could be to roll Hiller for a week or so and try to squeeze a couple starts out of him. Then pick up lehtonen when he is back.

    what form are you hoping ward to come back to

    last season lehtonen beat ward in all but 1 of your cats

    also i have a feeling if you putz around on lehtonen you will miss the opportunity to grab him just for a couple of potential starts from a very up and down hiller

    Personally I pick up Leightonen. He should be back soon and put up the numbers he has been thus far. He's playing solid hockey.

    What is the point in having Ward and keeping him on your bench in hopes he gets better or starting him and suffer the stats.

    DROP HIM. He's a duster.
