How high is your cap, how many teams (how replaceable are goalies), etc. I could see a better case for either depending on settings.
Hey Guys,
Asking for some thoughts on Hellebuyck vs Grubauer over the next two years (my winning window). G stats in my salary league: W 2pt, SO 3 pt
I'm in the camp that Hell will most likely get me more points, however he's almost double the price. I like Grub's future and his price, but the injuries this year have me concerned he's a bandaid boy with a max of 40-45 games.

Cap matches NHL, so this year: $81,500,000 (will go up to whatever it becomes next year).
12 teams
Start: 9F, 4D, 1 G
Bench: 6
We're allowed 8 FA adds/drops through the season
Top 5 current FA Goalies
Price, Rask, Markstrom, Bishop, Bobrovsky
So there are goalies out there, but at varying levels of value. Markstrom is arguably the best $/point, but IMO Hellebuyck's proven consistency which might be worth the additional cost.
If it helps, my current keepers going into next year:
Kucherov
Tarasenko
Aho
Kuznetsov
Kyrou
Dumba
Hronek
Grub/Hell
I would probably rank them, in your format:
Helly
Markstrom
Rask
Grubauer (injuries adding up with less track record of 50+ game seasons)
Bishop
Price
Bobrovsky

The injuries of Gru do scare me, although he's a solid goalie on a team that's gonna get A LOT of wins when he plays—just who's to say how often he plays. Helly is Helly, consistent and on a team that's gonna be a little more defensively sound next season (can't be worse right?) which will only increase his value.
