Drop Ramo for Chad Johnson?

Hey gang.

I'm in a 20 team, 18 player league, our net minder scoring is for wins and shutouts.

I have too many G right now, but my plan is to use them for trade bait, and Ramo isn't looking solid for the number one job in Calgary.

Should I drop him for Johnson? We set our lineups for weekly H2H, so a nailed on starter is better value.

The main thing holding me back is that Ramo is the better goalie, and maybe he gets traded to a team where he can lead? Maybe even Buffalo?

Or, maybe Hiller screws the pooch, and Ramo wins the Calgary lottery?

I'd hold Ramo. Two games in is too early to be deciding that Player X is in and Player Y is out in a given situation.

Johnson is pretty much guaranteed to

a) get a good number of starts, and
b) be pretty bad on a bad team.

If winning the Calgary starting gig is winning the lottery then Johnson getting the #1 job in Buffalo due to injury is more like winning $5 from a scratch ticket.

Hah!

Thanks guys, you're right, of course. I always get way too trigger happy at the beginning of the season. Appreciate you talking some sense into me.

I almost need someone to lock me out of my account for the first month.

Cheers,
R.

I'd keep Ramo. I think Buffalo will trade for a new goalie because Chad Johnson isn't such a great goalie. Ramo should be able to steal some starts from Hiller and Calgary's defense is better than Buffalo's
