    Default Rank these backups. REP

    Team and League settings in signature.

    I drafted Vaselevskiy, with the purposes of stashing him on the IR and getting another backup to fill the spot.
    Long term, I want to see how things shake out with TB's goaltending - ie. will TB move Bishop's contract to free up cap space to re-up Stamkos and the rest of their young guns.

    Looking for your guy's opinion on the following keepers - how would you rank em?
    - Neuvirth
    - Grubauer
    - Enroth
    - Tokarski
    - Markstrom
    - Gudlevskis

    Personally I like Markstrom, as I think he has a chance to steal the job from Miller, and will get the most starts (injuries not withstanding). But Van may not be very good this year.
    Alternatively, I could try rotating them, whenever they get scheduled starts.

    What do you guys think?
    My league:
    12 team keeper Yahoo roto cash league (can play 12F, 6D, 2G + 5 bench spots and 1 spot for farming rookies during the year)
    G, A, PPP, +/-, PIMS, Hits, SOG, W, Sv%, GAA, SO, Saves
    11 keepers + 1 NA (farm team) at seasons end

    Forwards - Malkin, Kessel, Tarasenkol, Simmonds, Hudler, Zibanajad, Nelson, Pominville, H.Sedin, Ehlers, Kesler, Stastny Roussel, Dano, Draisaitl, Pulkinnen
    D - Weber, Shattenkirk, Faulk, Klinberg, Parayko, Gudas, Borowiecki
    G (max 4) - C. Anderson, Elliott, Vaselievskiy, last spot used for rotating backups at the moment
    NA - Hellebuyck

    Smart move on the Vasil pick up...that could certainly pay off.

    Out of those goalies, I'd be most interested in Markstrom. I would have included Enroth at this point last year, but he didn't do well in transition from BUF and won't get much time behind Quick. Grubauer has some potential, but I doubt we see it anytime soon.

    I dont think Markstrom will be stealing anything from Miller but he is the one I prefer from this list, followed by Nuevirth. The others will be in tough to get much playing time behind bonafide star starters.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    - Markstrom: Most intriguing from the list. The fact that Lack is gone shows me that management really values him. He played great in pre-season and I would not be surprised if Vancouver gives him the reins as of next year if he can keep up his play.

    - Neuvirth: If Mason goes down, he can definitely hold up the fort. However, I don't see him starting more than 20 games if Mason remains healthy

    - Grubauer: Very promising goalie but same as above; unless Holtby gets injured, I don't see much value short or medium-term

    - Enroth: Should not get much playing time, but when he will, he should get good stats as he has a top D core in front of him

    - Tokarski: Price is a beast and Condon is knocking hard on the backup door. I don't see much value here

    - Gudlevskis: Great goalie but too many obstacles in front of him for him to have short-term value (or even playing time)
    Keeper league 14 teams (H2H, 20 active players keep 16 NHLers, 16 minors)
