Looking to cut Koskinen for a better G option. Thoughts? (REP)

[kbro]

12-team H2H league. Goalie stats are W, GAA, SV%, and SO. Roster/settings in sig.

I'm rolling the dice on my goalies, and want to carry 4 "lottery ticket" type goaltenders until a pattern emerges and I know who to keep and who to bail on. My number 1 consideration is Halak, as he's a super safe bet and will get a solid chunk of starts, but there may be some options with higher potential ceilings (Samsonov and Saros for example). Who do you like out of this group, and why?

- Halak
- Samsonov
- Saros
- Ullmark
- Georgiev
- Korpisalo
- Allen
- Korpisalo
- Khudobin
- Blackwood
- Howard
- Quick
- Dell

Thanks in advance!

I see 4 Goalies on that list that I would easily drop Koskinen for: Halak, Samsonov,Howard, and Quick.

I'll go with Halak, Saros, Howard, and Quick for now. I lean towards Halak though.

I think I'd drop Koskinen for most of that list, honestly.

Backups that should give you decent ratios:
- Halak
- Samsonov
- Saros
- Georgiev
- Khudobin

Could be a backup, could be a starter, should be useful:
- Blackwood

Guys who are starters, but may be questionable quality of what you get:
- Ullmark
- Howard
- Quick
- Ullmark

Don't touch:
- Korpisalo (listed twice, you only need to avoid once)
- Allen
- Dell

I think there are 4 keepers to consider. Samsanov, Saros, Halak and Howard. Detroit might have improved enough to get you worthwhile wins. I always thought Saros was the backup to have, but Halak might be stealing that mantle. Either way, I think Saros is going to get more games than normal and he has the potential to win a lot of them with great peripheral stats. Samsonov might be getting more of a workout than a regular backup because the Caps have to make some tough goalie decisions this year. In addition, they probably don't want to run their starter into the ground before the playoffs.
