Samsonov, Lankinen, or Binnington ROS

[dmk2401]

Currently have Binnington. Play 1 goalie in a 10 team league. W 2, OTL 1, SO 5. 30 adds during the season total. Have used 9 so far. in 1st place, but guy in second has been hacking into my lead.

Binnington and the Blues have sucked lately. How much will Tarasenko return help STL? Do I stay the course or drop for one of these other two. Both Minnesota guys available too. But I need someone who is the clear cut starter. Lankinen has been piling up the wins, but a lot of those games have been against poorer teams (Detroit). Several games coming up against Tampa.

You can only start 1 goalie? Or you can only own 1 goalie?

Can only own and start 1 goalie. No bench.

Then I would hold Binnington for now. Better upcoming schedule than Chicago and won't split games like I suspect Samsonov might:

StL: Ana x 2, LAK x2, SJ x 1, VGK x 2, LAK x 2, SJ x 2
Wash: Bos x 2, Phi x 1, NJ x 1, Phi x 2
Chicago: TB x 3, Dal x 2, Fla x 2, TB x 2, Fla x 2

I keep holding, but it's been extremely painful in the short term. Hopefully he starts in ANA tonight, but after his last rough outing against SJ he might be seeing pine.

I believe it. Just don't think Lankinen is the option. The Minnesota guys look to be splitting and also have a ton of Vegas coming up.

Samsonov could be a solution if you are willing to accept that he won't start as much as Binnington. If you're ok with that then Washington's schedule from mid March on is absolutely incredible....

Wash: Bos x 2, Phi x 1, NJ x 1, Phi x 2

Followed by.....

Buf , NYI, NYR x 2, NJ x 2, NYR x 2, NYI, NJ x 2, NYI (April 6)

That looks pretty enticing. I'll keep my eye on that. What do you think of Mrazek? Sounds like he is nearing a return and they have several games againt NSH, Det, and CBJ coming up.
