Slim Pickings for the Playoffs

[jbrid867]

Need to make a decision on how to handle my goalie situation in my single season league (not in my signature). It's head to head, categories are W|Sv%|GAA|ShO. We start two goalies at a time and can make 4 moves per week, which are delayed by one day.

Currently I'm in first place in the league by a long shot, so I will have a bye. My goalies at the moment are Vasilevskiy (aka "The Messiah") and Rittich (aka "Where did you go??"). So my main decision is should I be looking really closely at the schedule and making a plan for streaming that G2 spot or if I should pick up one or two of the available netminders and ride them out in the playoffs. Let me know what you think...

[Way too long] List of available goalies:
J. Markstrom
C. Schneider
M. Blackwood
J. Allen
C. Crawford
R. Miller
B. Elliot
R. Luongo
L. Domingue (as a guarantee I hit my start count and likely lock up wins)
J. Saros
C. Ward
M. Koskinen
L. Ullmark
J. Bernier
J. Campbell

Schneider and Crawford would be g's for me to look at first - i'd watch Crawford a couple games before making a move, make sure he's back.

Luongo Elliott would be my next G's to look at - fla's winning & Philly's been decent of late

Markstrom would be an interesting look. he'll get you a decent number of pts from Saves, and start 16 of 18 down the stretch... just don't expect a lot of W's.

Just clarifying, i mentioned it in the initial post but this is not for the league in my signature, it is a category scoring league counting Wins, GAA, Sv% and ShO along with six skater categories. So goalies are very important as they account for 40% of the available wins in a week... Vasilevskiy has almost single-handedly won me this regular season even with the broken ankle, he is a god-send

I don't think my order would change much.. maybe Elliott ahead of Lu.

Markstrom is really the wildcard here. He's been giving solid GAA/Sv PCT since early Dec. Van just isn't going to win much ROS.

If Crawford comes back and gives Chi some goaltending half a notch above Ward, they'll win a few more games.
