    Default Merz or Kuemper

    14 team keeper league, 7 Keepers 3 fwds, 2d, 1g + f, d or g
    Week to week h2h, 2lw 2c 2rw, 4 d and 2ut
    Skater stats g, a, pts, sog, +-, ppa, ppg and hits
    G stats SVs, SV%, and W

    Goalies are a premium in my league, so very important short and long term

    My first keeper is Shesterkin

    Then i need to decided between Kuemper vs Merz
    Long term i'm set with Shest and Merz would just be gravy. In this league having two elite keeper goalies is huge.
    but short term i'm currently leaning towards Kuemper but starting to wonder. I was hoping Kuemper would be dealt by now or Korpisalo
    both are in a goalie share but Kuemper is more established imo
    Cls is the better team but Korp is very solid and not exposed in the expansion draft so could easily see Jackets ride both at least through next season.
    Ariz is worse than last year and without a 1st thinking they will start to unload pieces...Kuemper included

    If i keep Merz definitely have to reach on Korp and burn a pick there
    If i keep Kuemper i could probably get Raanta late

    Dobberr always says focus on tiers, Kuemper is tier 1 and Merz is tier 2

    What do you think ?

    Looking at your stats and I would say that Kuemper is going to play more games than Merzlikins so he should have more saves and more wins. For those reasons, I would keep Kuemper over Merzlikins.

    Another one for Kuemper. Definitely a more secure spot than Merz.

    Kuemper is the goalie to keep. He's taken the reins as the Yotes #1.
    Merz needs to fight it out with Korp for starts.

    I think you keep Kuemper of these two, mostly due to who they have to contend with.

    However, I don't think Raanta is the guy you want as the handcuff - it's Georgiev from the Rangers.

    Call me crazy but I say swing for the home run and go Merzlikins. Yes, Torts has shown he wants to lean on Korpisalo, but Merzlikina is the better goalie and will sort that problem soon. Contrarian opinion, but it's the big swing IMO. Depends on your risk tolerance.

    I vote Merzlikins too, my buddy is a huge Kuemper fan he thinks he is one of the best goalies but he gets hurt a lot and I think that should be considered.

    i prefer Merzlinkins mostly cause i dont trust anything to do with Arizona...until they clean it up im trying to stay away from any player there. Over 7 leagues i own Chychrun in one of them and thats it.

    If you go Merz. you need to target/acquire Korp. one set of handcuffs you will need.
