Losing the job

[ruckus1717]

Hey guys I need another goalie since I dealt me backup fit toews and I was wondering if you guys see any no1 guys losing some starts due to bad play. Or on that same not who could potentially be a good buy low at this point? I know kipper has been bad and would prob be cheap, as well as smith (though he was hurt).

Whats your league format AND what do you have available? season only? keeper?

Split
>> Neuverth / Holtby
>> Luongo / Schneider
>> Elliot / Halak
>> Reimer / Scrivens (probably 30 games for reimer) imo....
>> Bobro / Mason

Lose Starts? maybe?
>> Crawford (Emery)... seems safe so far, so probably safe
>> Theodore (Clemmenson)...
>> Lindback (Garon)... Seems lindback is getting the starts sink or swim... he seems ok though.
>> Fleury (Vokoun)
>> Pavelec (Montoya)... montoya has potential, but doubt he gets any starts
>> Dubnyk (Khabby) ... they split last year.
>> Backstrom (harding)
>> howard (gustuv)... howard will likely keep 90%

SAFE AS CAN BE
>> Lundqvist (Biron)
>> Hiller (?)
>> Ward (Ellis)
>> Broduer (Hedberg)
>> Price (Budaj)
>> Miller (Enroth)
>> Bryz (Boucher)
>> Nabby (Dipietro) - other goals aren't good enough
>> Rask (Khubodin)
>> Anderson (Bishop)
>> Rinne (Mason)
>> Kipper (someone)
>> Quick (Bernier)

INJURY PRONE - won't lose their job... but they'll give up some starts potentially.
>> Lehotonen (Nilsson (IR), Bachman)*** although he has been good since he hit dallas mostly
>> Varlamov (Giggy)*** again... been ok in COL.
>> Smith (Labarbara (johnson)) - if injured, backups get starts...

I stashed Khabibulin on IR a few weeks ago... he will sit there until he proves NOT worthy or I need to make a roster move, in which case IR loophole of having a non IR player must be fixed.

Anything from my lost starts section is a gamble... some better than others. If dubs flops in EDM... they will play khabby and he has some strong years (contract years especially ... which this is... if i'm not mistaken). Winning is winning... and Dubs doesn't have a huge contract to pressure the team to start him. Khabby does though ...*hint hint*.
