Weekly, as in weekly lineups or daily lineups? I think that would alter the approach drastically.
So in my one yearly league that I play in every year, my mostly autodrafted team ended with Shesterkin and Sorokin as my two goalies. I think everyone knows my thoughts on Shesterkin so I need to add a 3rd goalie.
The league is a weekly head to head league with 12 teams. The goalie categories are W, GAA, SV% and Shutouts.
The following are available on the waiver wire and I am trying to figure out which one I should add:
MA Fleury
Devan Dubnyk
Alex Georgiev
Jake Allen
Malcolm Subban
Carter Hutton
James Reimer
Linus Ullmark
Cal Petersen
Antti Raanta
Thomas Greiss
David Rittich
Jack Campbell
Brian Elliott
Which one should I pick up?

Reimer gets my vote.

Lots of okay options, not a lot of solid ones. I would go with MAF, Allen, Raanta or Reimer. See how it goes and reassess in a week or two. You will get decent numbers and hopefully a few more starts than you were expecting. Since you have Sorokin, I would be trying to acquire Varlamov, or see if you can trade Sorokin to the Varlamov owner if they have a goalie that is better than the ones on the FA market. You will have to wait until Sorokin plays a few games and looks like he might be stealing the job though. Or wait til Varly blows a tire and ends up on IR. But yeah in the meantime, there are some good options there.
Any of these could be a decent stopgap pickup IMO:
MA Fleury
Alex Georgiev
Jake Allen
James Reimer
Antti Raanta
David Rittich
Jack Campbell
Brian Elliot

In order, probably:
Reimer
Ullmark
MAF
Raanta
Allen
Something like that...I'm bullish on Ullmark.

With that many options I would indulge in streaming until one of them gets into a good position that warrants rostering.
Streaming for me as well. You do need a 3rd goalie, because you have a starter and a backup, and Shesterkin is the far more proven one in the NHL.
Want a Signature? Go to Settings, and you'll find Edit Signature down the list on the left.
I am pretty sure a goalie with 14 career NHL games is not someone I would call "proven". I picked up Georgiev for tonight and will likely stream goalies based on matchups for a while.
Thank you for the advice.
Ullmark is the only one on that list that’s the starter. Probably Reimer and maf after
