    Default Is Fleury going to be worth having when Lehner comes back?

    Fleury's numbers are outstanding this year. Not just the wins but his SV% and GAA.
    With Lehner ostensibly close to returning, will Fleury still be used frequently?
    Lehner's numbers weren't good before he got hurt and I think VGK should just stick with Flower.
    I have an opportunity to get Fleury in a trade but it will cost me Crosby.
    My offense is stacked this year (Backstrom, DeBrincat, Kopitar, JVR....we only start three F) so I can afford to lose Sid.
    My goaltending is my albatross and I need a top 5 goalie.

    Rep for all of you who respond.
    Head to Head League: 1 point for G, 1 point for A. 2 for Goalie win, 3 for SO.
    Start 6 guys every week. 3 O, 2 D and 1G. No substitutions once they are in (before the first game starts on Monday).
    Protect 3 players every year in keeper.
    10 rounds of drafting
    F: Crosby, Point, P. Kane, JVR, Kopitar, Rakell, Tarasenko,
    D: Letang, Doughty, Karlsson, Grzelcyk, Faulk,
    G: Bob, Shesterkin, Demko, Kahkonen

    They may ease Lehner back in, but will most likely end up alternating as long as Lehner is playing well. I'd hold on to Crosby.

    Agreed. Definitely hold onto Crosby. I can see them splitting starts like Quick and Petersen are.

    All right thanks everyone. I'll take your advice.

    Agreed - at best it'll be a timeshare as they didn't exactly pay Lehner to be a back-up.

    Lehner's now the 1B to Flower's 1A. Expect Lehner to get a smaller portion of starts to start as mentioned above, but gradually to splitting starts given the sheer volume of starts and to reduce workload/injury risk to both.
    8 person H2H, 25 man rosters:

    LW: JT Miller, B. Tkachuk, E. Kane, Pacioretty, N. Foligno,
    C: McDavid, Larkin, Monahan, Eriksson Ek, P. Suter,
    RW: Lindholm, Perron, J. Anderson, Hornqvist, Duchene, Necas

    D: Josi, Poink, Chiarot, Larsson, OEL, Leddy

    G: Varlamov, Reimer, Kakhonen
    IR: Parayko, Francouz

    G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, GWG, SOG, FOW, HIT, BLK
    W, L, GAA, SV%, SHO

    Fleury would be worth having, but not worth not having Crosby.

    Thanks guys. I took your advice and didn't give up Crosby. I have Kahkonen now and maybe he will do the trick for me.

    Thanks to all who chimed in.
