I would grab Samsonov and Merz ASAP.
Have both Hart and Kuemper out. Points-league. Goalie points are 2x wins and 3x shutouts.
Who is best pickup of available options? Really just need for rest of this year, but we keep 5 players, so slight bump to a guy who could be top 10 option next year.
Options:
Samsonov
Lehner
Merzlikins
Shesterkin
I would grab Samsonov and Merz ASAP.
Any of those guys could be a top 10 option next year, so that doesn't help.
I want Merzlikins for the starting gig right now on a defensive team.
Samsonov/Lehner are both splitting starts, but Lehner has more of the upper hand, while Samsonov has a better team.
I feel like Igor is going to get the least volume, so he's last.
That would be my order, you decide on the middle two.
Want a Signature? Go to Settings, and you'll find Edit Signature down the list on the left.
Merz or Lehner. Merz is going to get action for a couple months that would put him ahead of Lehner but I think Lehner should get 70% of Chicago's starts if healthy till April.
Rest of season I don't think you'll get the mileage you'll need to win with the other two.
