    Default EAST DIVISION = Goalie nightmares - Alternatives?

    Hi everyone,

    As our league is only 8 teams, most carry only 2 or 3 goalies at most. However, I'm thinking it might be wise to grab a 4th goalie as there are many back to back situations.

    Alternatively, I'm not sold on Jarry/Samsonov on the East division - should be high scoring games which results in coin flips. I also don't like that Pens/caps would have to play each other quite often..

    Should I look at getting a fourth or even dropping a goalie for one of the options on the wire?

    Options include: Elvis Merzlikins, Halak, Bob, Varlamov/Sorokin, Gibson, Blackwood, Murray, Talbot, Ullmark, Rinne and even Quick or Koskinen.

    Also, Bishop is also IR so I'm thinking to hold onto him as future options.

    I'm not sure how the NYI tandem sits un-owned. They're arguably the best defensive team in the league.

    If this is a one year pool I'd drop Jarry for the tandem. If you had to drop a skater as well - Henrique.
    if this is a keeper - then it's more complicated on dropping Jarry.

    I love this plan.

    Best defensive team, but still in the nightmare division and they lost Devon Toews and Boychuck is IR. In this set up, I'd run 4 goalies. Viable?

    I also agree with this. That's an excellent tandem to have normally, and in an uncertain season, having them is even safer. Probably a top 3 tandem to get for me, and while you have half of Colorado's, you don't have all of it.

    Yep. The league in my sig is very weird, weekly starts, and each player only has 1 game a week count. Tandems don't help in that league, unless it's the old guy and the young guy who is going to replace him as we start 1 G.

    If you want me to make your brain hurt, I had Patrick Roy as my backup G for most of his career - behind Hasek, so it made sense.

    HAHAH that's incredible and painful to think about - welp at least Roy was never used against you!
