Reply With QuoteI am wondering the same thing although I have Dubnyk and Vokoun available.
Will Kipper get it together this year?
Transactions lock soon before the H2H playoffs in my league, and I'm wondering if I should be grabbing another back up instead of Kipper. The only other viable option is Nabokov.
So basically, for the rest of the year Kipper or Nabokov?

Oh geez... I wouldn't feel too confident in Kipper or Nabi. If I was forced to make a call today I would go with the Islanders. With Tavares they are on the up, 3 points out of a playoff spot while the Flames have been on the decline and are dipping their feet in worst record territory. Now if Kipper gets traded, then I would want Kipper
Between the two, I'll take Nabokov. He is a decent goalie and the Islanders are a better team. Kipper is just not trustworthy this year, it pains me to admit.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
only wildcard is if kipper is traded somewhere good.
islanders need to get a grab...they've been slipping lately.
Hiller is available too, now that I've had a better look, but I'd be a bit concerned about Fasth stealing starts. Other options are Jake Allen and Lehner, but not sure I can depend on youngsters..
It's funny, with my scoring settings saves are pretty heavily weighted, and I thought for sure Kipper was a safe bet heading into this season.
I am having the same issue. My top two goalies are Rask and Brodeur. But I have to make up a bunch of goalie starts before the end of the year. If Hiller was an option, I would take it in a second.Originally Posted by GretzkysMullet
My options are backups, Allen, Vokoun, Scrivens, Khudobin, Bernier, Lehner...
Drop Kipper and cycle through the backups? Or do I wait until the NHL trade deadline to see if he gets moved to a contender?

I like Hiller right now... While Fasth will probably steal starts for the rest of the year, I think Hiller is enforcing that is the Ducks true #1 and will get 2/3rds of the games for the rest of the season. Considering the amount of wins the Ducks pile up, that's still nothing to sneeze at...

I think I'm done with him after tonight.
Can we discuss what to do with Kipper a little more.
Is he an outright drop now?
And if so, are the new kids a better option? (Allen, Lehner, Khudobin...)
Is he worth holding to see if he gets dealt at the deadline?
Or is he worth starting for home games?
The Flames are on a 6 home game winning streak.

Another owner dropped Lehtonen today so I snapped him up. Pretty happy, and my team is officially Kipper-less.
