Pick up Gibson in 8 team league?

[seanavery]

Should I pick up Gibson in 8 team league? My team sig below. I look good in goalies but Gibson might improve it much better. There are a lot of goalie stats in our league. (W, L, GA, GAA, Saves, SV%. Minutes Played, SHO)


------
8 Team Head to Head League. The stats are G, A, P, Plus/Minus, PPP, SHP, PIM, SOG, GWG, Hit, Blocked Shots, Faceoff Won, and Defense Points for players....And for Goalies it's W, L, GA, GAA, Saves, SV%. Minutes Played, SHO.

Starting Lineup (4 C's, 2 LW, 2 RW, 4 D, 3 Util, and 2 Goalies)

C - Stamkos, Malkin, Spezza, Kesler
LW - Sharp, Marleau
RW - Kane, B. Ryan
D - Shattenkirk, Suter, Edler, Vatanen
Util - Parise (LW), Vrbata (RW), Nash (LW)

G - Bishop, Niemi, Holtby, (can only start 2 every night)

Bench - Schwartz (LW), E. Staal (C), Ribiero (C)

IR - Callahan

In a league that starts two goalies and has 8 teams, it is prolly foolhardy. I wouldn't drop any of your current goalies for Gibson.

he does play on a lot of off nights, but I don't think he's the starter, so its a tough call for me

I'd roll with the guys you have, all good starters, but continue to monitor Gibson and, if Andersen gets hurt, I'd strongly consider it

re: Gibson, it's going to be a lot about scheduling.
It looks like he has emerged enough to take 40% of ANA starts.

That's probably a weekly slate for him of 1 game, 2 games, 1 game, 2 games...
If ANA schedule (which is great) actually does get him into all his games without benching a goalie, it's a great add.
But if ANA happens to play same night as your other 3 goalies... probably not worth it.

Ana has a lot of off night games which would help, but if you have to drop someone from your roster then I would stand pat as you have solid enough goaltending.
