Which goalie?

**93213** · February 20, 2017, 9:16 AM

I need one for the rest of this season. Wins and saves are needed... which one would you roll with?

Lehner
Hellebyuck
Smith
Mrazek

Or should I grab Fleury and hope foe a trade? If no trade I drop him and pick up one of these guys.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

If I'm grabbing one of these four goalies, then I'm taking either Hellebuyck or Lehner. Both are talented goalies, and their teams are on a (slow) rise. Neither Mrazek nor Smith are on improving teams. Both Lehner and Hellboy have the ability to steal games, and both have played well lately.
You can gamble on Fleury, but I'm hesitant to suggest him especially if he goes to a weak team like Dallas whose defense won't help him in the least. Of course, he could stay stuck behind Murray in Pittsburgh and that won't help you either.

Thanks. I'm not in love with these choices, but I feel like Lehner is maybe the safest bet???

Lehner, the wins will not be substantial but he is good for his stats where he usually will not royally screw you and now with Buffalo at full health I expect them to be better.

for sure the others are far more spotty and fluctuate in performance plus Buffalo is the better team offensively in front of him than those of the other goalies respective squads. He has 17 wins right now with .925 SV% and 2.54 GAA, if he had 25 wins let's say he'd be a Talbot-esque goaltender.

Lehner would be my choice.

Lehner would be my first choice, Hellboy my second. I guess it's a plus that Buffalo are in first place allowing 34.2 shots per game. You need saves so even when Lehner is losing games he's getting you 30 + saves.
