    Default Spot start Dell Friday or...wait for Sunday?

    So do I spot start Dell tomorrow or wait and see what my team needs Sunday?

    I only have one move remaining.

    I will likely have a full roster of goalies playing tonight and Saturday. (Grubauer, Binnington, Hellebuyck, Dubnyk)
    His goalies are Mrazek, McElhinney, Hart and Khudobin, but he has four moves remaining.

    I need all stats. I am currently leading 6-4 however.

    If I need a goalie start Sunday, the only available potential options are: Niemi, Pickard, Talbot and Ward...

    Wait until Sunday. If you pick up Dell and he has a stinker, or doesn't even start, and then you lose by two hits or something, you'll be kicking yourself for a long time.

    Agreed. The picture will be far more complete and you can decide if you need a goalie start, or if you can add a start for skater stats of focus.

    For Sunday I'm keeping my eye on Demko, Niemi, Pickard and others. Not great options but assuming the better goalies aren't available.

    I'm with you there. Most likely options for me are Niemi and Pickard. Demko is scooped up.

    Yes you have to wait and see what you need here. Save the move.

    *Update*
    Annotation 2019-03-22 001154.png

    Going into Friday and the weekend I am leading 7-3, but of course he still has some moves on me.


    Tomorrow do I start Dubnyk? Last chance for romance with the Wild.


    Also on Saturday I have Hellebuyck vs. NSH, Binnington vs. TB, Grubauer vs. CHI on the front half of a B2B (hoping he starts Sunday) and MIN plays the second part of a B2B. Do I just maximize my starts and hope for the best or pick and choose? As long as my goalies don't tank too hard, my GAA and SV% should be good no? Just the wins and saves I might lose.



    He has Mrazek, McElhinney, Khudobin and Hart but I bet he adds Dell and a Sunday guy.

    How many goalies can you start in a night? If I were you, I'd be tempted to bench mine until his showed any signs of gaining on you.

    Good advice in this thread.
    Yes, hold a move for Sunday.
    H2H is a chess match... if you've got a cat or two in limbo - you hold until Saturday night and evaluate odds.

    I can start two per day. Ideally I would like to wait and see if his goalies perform but that scares me because he most certainly will pass me in saves and possibly wins too.

    The only good thing is that if Hart starts tomorrow, it’s an early start so I could assess after that.

    Frustrating. Still no confirmation on Dell.

    So frustrating!

    Honestly if he's confirmed, I might pull the trigger and add and start him alongside Dubnyk tonight.

    Sunday looking grim for goalie availability.

    Argh!!!
