    Yeah, as you say I don't love your goaltending. Good top end forwards but lacking a bit of depth IMO.

    I quite like your forwards. Your worst performer this year is probably B Schenn which is pretty solid. You have 3 top end D men and provo has potential to improve. Goalies will be what holds you back but honestly they are so unpredictable that Smith and Price could end up being good enough to get the job done. Overall you could win now in a 14 team league imo.

    C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund

    with your goalies, there certainly is the potential for any of them to go on a run in the playoffs. heck, I rode varlamov through a few playoff rounds last year. so yeah - the potential is there, but as always, you'll need a little luck.

    As everyone else has said, you're goalies are going to hold back.
    Have you thought about trading Timo Meier and one of your current goalies for a better goalie? He's the only really obvious non-sustainable performer on your team.
    He has a high 5 on 5 S%, with 10% less offensive zone starts than last year, and an IPP 20% over last year at 79%. At 79%, he's entering into elite territory and I don't think he's quite there yet.
    Maybe a Koskinen and Meier for a desperate Rask, Bobs or Duby owner? I feel like Edmonton is going to try to give Talbot the net back a few more times as he has the larger contract but no doubt Koskinen is out playing Talbot lately.

    The guy who owns bob acquired him earlier this season and moved a 1st and 2nd, along with saros and ullmark to do so. He's not willing to move him any time soon haha. The guy who has Rask has made one trade in the past 3 years. He also owns Rinne and Grubauer so Rask should be a player he could move. The guy who has Duby is actually willing to and looking to move him. What would you guys suggest is a good proposition for a deal?

    Who do you think is going to be cheaper - Rask or Duby? I would lean towards Duby, he's been one of the most consistent fantasy goalies over the last few years.

    What are you willing to give up? I think Meier might be a good option as he doesn't look sustainable right now (see my last post), maybe Stone due to high injury history but he's a point per game player when he's heathly. Similar with Letang, his injury history always worries me but he's so good when he's healthy.

    What do you have for replacements on waivers? If you trade a 1 for 1 for a goalie, you could drop McElhinney (hurt, old and 3 goalie rotation) and pick up whatever position you traded away.

    As said above, I really believe your goalies could go on a run. Price and Smith left a lot to be desired early on, but both are coming around. So,Yes! I think your team could possibly win with some luck and good Goaltending.
