    Default Jake Allen

    Allen was dropped in my league. Is Jake Allen worth an add as a 3rd goalie? Will he turn it around or is he really just garbage

    I'd take Allen over Reimer, based on your signature.

    He is a volatile own, the second coming of Craig Anderson, so deploy him as necessary on good matchups, perfect as a third goalie.

    I'm sure he'll put together a decent streak at some point, but he's not someone I would target to add, unless you wanted remove a streamer option and carry a 4th G. I wouldn't be surprised if there were better WW options than him or Reimer available.

    I agree, worth a pickup and just bench him unless it's a favourable match or he starts turning it around

    I see that you have Greiss in your signature, and I'd prefer Greiss.

    Allen's okay if you need a 3rd goalie for volume stats - but he is prone to blowing up your ratios.

    I like Allen as a 3rd option. I just know he can be volatile as well. That being said, I just shipped him out for Halak as my 3rd option. A Greiss/Halak type as your #3 would be ideal if it's a possibility.
