Replace Varlamov with??

[hollywoodshowcase]

Drafted Varlamov as my 3rd goalie and I am not sold on him going forward - I know it is a small sample size but I am not convinced he is the best option. My top 2 goalies are Andresen and Gibson so they are definitely solid. My 3rd goalie doesn't have to be a full time starter but I need him to be solid and prop up my SV% and GAA. Here are the options as I see them.

1. Stay with Varlamov - at best it looks like a time share with Greiss and not sold on him as a goalie
2. Replace Varlamov with Halak. Obviously solid but not sure how many starts
3. Raanta and Kuemper are available as well. Could pickup one or both of them.

Right now I am thinking about picking up Raanta and Kuemper. Let me know what you think?

Thanks

Halak looks like a pretty ideal option for you behind Andersen and Gibson. Seems to be exactly what you're looking for.

My 2 cents says go with Halak and get 30 quality starts at least.

Do you need 6 D in an 8 team league?

We start 6 D.

Like the idea of Halak as you are correct they are quality starts. Just wondering about the number of starts and if I will have too many conflicts with my other 2 starters. if Halak starts 30, how many of those days will be when my other 2 goalies are playing? Am I better off trying to get both Raanta and Keumper from Arizona as I will get more games in and still have some quality starts.

Check the same night tool to check the number of days where you may miss games.

I like Halak about as much as Varlamov, so schedule may be big. I think Varlamov starts a bit more, on an equally good defensive team, but isn't quite as good personally.
