Best backup option?
My league only starts one goalie, which will almost always be Vasilevskiy for me. But I want to grab a backup in case of injury. Who is the best option out of these?
- McElhinney
- Raanta
- Georgiev
- Hutton
- Ullmark
- Howard
- Quick
I’m kinda thinking just taking McElhinney as Tampa’s back up might be my best option?

Re: Best backup option?
Some of these guys are starters (Quick, Howard) or at worst 1A/1B guys (Raanta, Hutton). Since you have Vas, probably the safe pick would be McElhinney, since he's at least as good as Domingue and look at what he did last year. Then again, you could try to get a legit starter like Quick or Howard and stream starts on off nights.

If Weekly head to head means weekly lineup setting then I would go McE

Raanta or McElhinney would be my pick. Higher risk/reward, or safe.

Re: Best backup option?
Yes it’s a weekly lineup setting. That’s why I’ll play Vas almost all the time. Really just looking at protection against an injury issue
Re: Best backup option?
If you are going for injury only than I'd lean toward McElhinney.

Re: Best backup option?
Easily Raanta for me. ARI is very sound defensively and IF healthy Raanta should see the bigger chunks of the starts given by his contract alone...

Re: Best backup option?
Maybe I’ll grab Raanta as he has more potential value- pretty sure no one will be grabbing McElhinney any time soon so I can always change it up later
Re: Best backup option?
Raanta
Quick
my first two.. having a second starer if you're carrying 2G's is a smart move Gives you a lot more potential starts

Re: Best backup option?
I agree with this. Raanta is trade bait if he does well. McElhinney is injury insurance.Originally Posted by Eskimo Brother

Raanta by a large margin.
Re: Best backup option?
Raanta for sure. He isn't even the backup.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
Re: Best backup option?
I think i would go Raanta as well here
Re: Best backup option?
Raanta should be the one.
