    Default Back up Goalie Questions.

    I have a bit of a Griess problem. He hasn't started in six games. Now Trotz is saying they are going to go back to a rotation. Sure hope they do otherwise are any of these waiver wire fodder worth the add/drop? Allen, Koskinen, Talbot, Elliott, Campbell, Schneider? I have Rask Hart and Saros currently. I could drop a skater too if i believed in one of these waiver goalies.

    Insights and reasons would be appreciated.

    None of the guys you listed are currently better options than Greiss. Koskinen and Talbot always have a chance to go on a heater and grab the starter job temporarily but currently both are backups. Unless one of them starts to take the crease stick with Greiss. Also do not drop Greiss, drop a skater short-term if you're adding one of the guys mentioned.

    None of the guys you're mentioning are getting you more than two starts in any week, and most will just give you one per week. Because of that, I'm wondering what skaters are available in FA?
    I know you start 3G, but it's just wins that you need the 4th G for, and really they're adding one at best. An extra skater, researched properly, could give you 3-4 games, which could be 20-30 FOWs, 5-8 hits, ~3blks, and some points for good measure. That to me would be more useful than the one win per week Greiss will get you.

    Yeah, none of those options seem better than Greiss. Strategically, I agree with Eskimo - there may be a better use for the roster spot.

    Eskimo you bring up some very good points. Especially a skater that has a lot of off night games through the playoffs. Thanks this gives me some research to do.
