Pekka Rinne/Cam Ward Tandem
Hi,
I have to submit my keepers this week. We are using "franchise" denomination on certain players to help reduce keeper salaries that continually increase. Keeping a franchise player forfeits draft picks starting with round 1, 2, etc. - Yahoo rotisserie stats - My franchise players are Cam Ward and Malkin. - I am picking last (#12) - I am keeping Malkin losing my 12th draft pick. (No brainer) - I AM CONSIDERING KEEPING CAM WARD LOSING MY 23rd DRAFT PICK My first draft pick will be #34 but I will have a Goalie tandem of Rinne/Ward. Do you think having two so-called "tier 1" goalies will be detrimental? I still have to pick 2 good defensemen, one good forward and repopulate my farm: GAOLIES ----------------- Pekka Rinne Cam Ward FORWARDS ----------------- Evgeni Malkin Eric Staal Ryan Kesler ValtteriFilppula Max Pacioretty Taylor Hall Sven Bartschi Gustav Nyquist Cam Atkinson - - DEFENSE ----------------- John Carlson Kevin Shattenkirk Jason Garrison Stefan Elliott Jared Spurgeon - - FARM ---------------- Tyler Toffoli Lars Eller - - - Any advice would be welcome!

While your D definitely needs some work, I can't see having two elite starters being a bad thing.
FWIW, my top 5 G for next season: Lundy Quick Rinne Ward Rask

Looks like 15 keepers for everyone - so multiply that by the number of teams in the league and then add 34 to that number and ask yourself if you would draft Ward in a regular draft at that position - I bet the answer is yes.
Put it another way - if you don't keep Ward - who will be available to draft at your 34th pick - will he be as good as Ward? I bet the answer is no.

Also, the number of keeper is not set. 15 is an unusually high number to keep but many of the players on my team are newcomers and their salary have not ballooned the way keepers usually do yet. To give you a reference Malkin's salary is around 1000 because of his awesomeness and because he's been on my team for many seasons. Pacioretti is 230, Rinne is 750 and Carlson 300. Anyways sound advice from everyone I think I am set on keeping Ward and refurbish my blue line!

Spending a couple high picks on goalies is usually not a wise move in roto. The highest drafted goalies are not necessarily the best in terms of GAA/SV% (although they can be, like with Lundqvist and Quick) but they make 60+ starts per season. And roto is not about quantity, it's about quality. Get cheaper goalies that are in a time share and will still post good rate stats. Grab Vokoun, Elliott, Harding, Halak if you can get him cheap enough, etc. All you need to do is get to 164 GP. Whether you do it with 3 goalies or 5 goalies doesn't really matter, and it's much cheaper to get there with 5 goalies. There are way more bench spots in Yahoo's default format than you'll ever need in order to max out your GP at every position. If there aren't strict FA pickup limits (and usually there are none in roto leagues) and the league is shallow enough that there are a few goalies on waivers, then you can also spot start mediocre or part-time goalies when they have good matchups.
Cam Ward is god awful in GAA and SV%. Not just last season, but his whole career. 2.74 GAA and .910 SV% just won't cut it. Talent be damned, it's results we care about in fantasy hockey, and this guy doesn't get results. I just don't get the love... do people think he's suddenly going to break the pattern? Luongo gets a lot of flak for being over-rated but over the past 4 seasons Ward has never had more wins than Luongo, never had more shutouts, never had a better GAA, and only once has had a better SV%. I'm not advocating for Luongo here, obviously his situation is up in the air and he will probably land in a less favourable situation. I'm just using it to show how bad Cam Ward has been. Do yourself a favour and look elsewhere in roto.
