    Default 3rd Goalie Options - Howard, Kuemper, Greiss

    I drafted Jimmy Howard in the last round of my 1 year league behind Gibson and Mrazek.

    Other options include Greiss, who it sounds like is in a 50-50 timeshare with Varlamov, Greiss had great stats last year.
    Kuemper is also available and Raanta just got hurt again.

    Should I drop Howard for one of Greiss or Kuemper or stand pat ?

    For me it's between Griess & Howard.
    Quality starts vs. Quantity starts
    Same night conflicts are basically a wash when comparing the 3 teams.

    first half of last season Howard had a .927 svpct (at least) he was a beast. he won't repeat that.
    Regardless of your decision, unless Kuemper steals the starting gig, I think he's a waiver option down the road.

    It really is hard to ignore Griess's stats from last year.
    He'll better protect GAA, SV% for you
    W's is a wash - volume vs. quantity
    Howard should see more shots per game & with extra games also.

    breaking down by cat. 2-1-1 win for Griess.

    I would stand pat. Stick with the quantity goalie for now as it looks like they're more scarce. The other two might provide quality, but likely not as good quantity. They might also not give you quality in the end. I could be biased but my approach is that GAA and SV% are up and down whereas having a good number of volume starters at least gives you solid shit at Wins and Saves every week, with a chance at the other two.
