12 team H2H league, keep 10, can only keep 2 goalies. 5 goalie categories (W, SV, GAA, SV%, SO) and 8 skater categories so goalie cats are heavy.
I have Fleury and Holtby already - but I am considering dealing Holtby in offseason and the following are FA right now:
Markstrom, Talbot, Allen, Hutton, Saros, Mrazek
Thoughts? Who is MOST likely to be team's starting goalie next year?
12 team H2H Keep 10
G A +/- PIM STP PIM HIT BLK / W GAA SV SV% SO
12F, 6D, 2G, 3BN
F: Ovechkin, Mackinnon, Wheeler, E.Kane, Athanasiou, Duchene, JVR, Nyqvist, Buchnevich, DeBrusk, Galchenyuk, Crouse
D: Josi, Subban, Barrie, Yandle, Nurse, Edler, Schultz
G: Holtby, Fleury, Markstrom
Mrazek is the guy. Look for 50+ starts next year for the improving Canes. Markstrom will also get the lions share in VAN but Demko is the golden boy so he will eat too. Cant say the same for any of the others, unless theres an injury.
I think Markstrom is the best option to to a starter next year from that group of FA's. He needs a new contract but I think Vancouver re-signs him.
10 Team, Points Only, Cash League
25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt
Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink
G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger
"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I almost agree entirely with Gretz:
1. Markstrom (he has improved alot over the year and...Demko is not ready)
1a. Mrazek (think he gets a shot at #1 next year, he's earned it)
3. Saros (Rinne is getting older..)
Hutton. (it's either a 4 goal+ loss or a shutout...you never know)
Allen. (huge question mark)
thanks all - went with Markstrom but was close w Mrazek. I think Marks will get more starts next year (albeit on a weaker team) and most of the league is vancouver based so that tipped the scale for me, better chance of trade value. will look for mrazek in the draft as my 3rd goalie

I would just keep Fleury and Holtby.
That is still plan A, with the hope I can deal Markstrom prior to draft for a pick. But I'm worried that Holtby's best days are behind him, he only has 1 season left (contracted at least) on a Washington team that is elite now and wont be in 2 years. If I can deal Holtby for a stud forward and maybe a pick or two and then keep Markstrom I might be in better shape

Wsh will be a top team next year... Then it's possible Holtby does the Bishop shuffle and he'll land with another top team. He turns 30 in Sept. he's got several really good years left. If he hits UFA.. He won't go to a rebuilding team. He'll find a contender, which will keep him more than relevant.
