Goalie Nightmares - It's a crapshoot, right?
Goalies are voodoo!
Into week 7 of H2H, I have been doing well due to my drafted forward group (placed 2nd out 8 teams) however, goalies have been the one thing from me exerting dominance over my league. If I could even be middle of the pack in the net, I'd probably run away with 1st place. Team in signature.
In fact, I'm at the bottom of the league for goalies:
Wins (1-5-0), Losses (1-4-1), GAA (2-4-0), SV% (2-4-0) and SHO (0-2-4).
I have been scouring the wire and streaming for goalie starts, but recently let go of Samsanov to maximize goalie wins (Reimer) as a last-ditch effort when he was in isolation and AHL. No one has taken Samsanov yet.
The best available starter options are quite intriguing but iffy at best:
- Blackwood (Waivers right now)
- Khudobin (Bishop and Oettinger also available)
- Elliot
- Lankinen (Is he legit?)
- Samsanov 
- Sorokin (secure NYI starts?)
- Shersterkin
- Jarry
- Gibson
- Saros/Rinne
Right now, Varlamov has been the only consistent starter for me. I've also managed to pluck Kakhonen but only after his recent run - Talbot is back now so it's at best a time-share situation. Reimer is also on my roster as a streamer option, but as Mrazek returns, his value was only tied to wins which will inevitably decrease as he moves into a timeshare while his other ratios were poor.
Any thoughts would be appreciated as I'm just looking to at least be competitive in goalie stats.
