    Default A few solid names left; who to take??

    This is for a different team than the one in my sig. I’m in a 1-year, 10-team, H2H standard cats yahoo league.

    My goalies are:
    Bobrovsky
    Hellebuyck
    Raanta

    A few solid options are avalaible as free agents/waivers. Would you add any of these using Raanta as a drop:

    - Varlamov
    - Markstrom
    - Dubnyk (waiver and I have the 5th priority)


    I’m leaning heavily towards Dubnyk even if Stalock has been solid but I was wondering if any of you had faith in Raanta or if Varly/Markstrom would be as good without burning my waiver priority?!

    All feedback is appreciated and must welcomed!

    I wouldn't waste a waiver priority on Dubnyk. He's been so, so bad. He's probably the guy I want least of the 6 options you list in your post.

    I'd probably hold. But if I was dropping Raanta, I would take Markstrom (who I like best) and Varlamov for free rather than waste a waiver claim on Dubnyk.

    This. Dubs is 6th imo.

    I was very high on Varly at the beginning of the year hoping he could seize the starting gig and put up similar numbers to what NYI were last year. That doesn't seem to be the case yet.

    I wouldn't waste a WW on Dubnyk. I would pick up Markstrom and drop Raanta.
