Neuvirth and Holtby

[DaymanFighterOfTheNiteman]

I drafted Holtby late in the draft in the hopes that I had a sleeper on my hands following his showing in the playoffs last year. I ended up also grabbing Neuvirth from FA.

Fast forward a couple weeks and now I'm stuck with these two dickwads that I don't even put in my lineup because neither are even close to serviceable. I want to get rid of them but the only options on the wire are:

Reimer
Theodore

And that's basically it. At this point I view Theo as an upgrade. Dump both and pick Theodore plus someone else?

Sh-tty tandem and cuff... I trust Reimer more than either one. Is there a player on your roster than either goalie that you can drop?

Not sure I get the question there man, what do you mean?

I wouldn't give up on them just yet. The team as a whole has been terrible so I wouldn't totally blame them for their stats this year. You do have two other really good tenders so you may be able to weather the storm for the time being but if you are determined to get rid of them I wouldn't just dump them. I'm not sure if I would feel much more comfortable having what is on the waiver wire instead. Florida and Toronto have been inconsistant as well.Have you put feelers out for a possible trade? Maybe you could get a servicable vet in return? Someone will want to take a chance on them. Fantasy hockey can be painful. Hope this helps.

That's what I'm concerned about is the inconsistency of what's left. One thing I do know is that H&N have been consistently horrifying as has the entire WSH team. There's a couple names out there like Morrow that I think could find their way into the lineup here and there if he sticks with Benn. Maybe I'll just play it cool for now. I haven't put feelers out there, but I know that there isn't anyone who is gonna take a chance on either Holtboy or Neuworst.

Ooops. I overlooked your sig. Sorry 'bout that. I think you should sit tight. Ride Price. He's hot right now. Quick will eventually get it together. You can probably spot start your Washington goalies to get by.

I see where you're coming from but I'd rather spot start Theodore than either H&N.... And add another depth forward.
