    Default What to do with my goalies Lehner / Korpisalo / Merzlikins / Samsonov?

    Dear all,

    once again I'm turning to you for advice.

    As playoffs are just around the corner I have a strong feeling I need to fix my goalie situation. The team is in the signature. Please note that I can only roster goalies from three different teams.

    Those goalies are available:

    Martin Jones - SJS
    Casey Desmith - PIT
    Cal Petersen - LAK
    Linus Ullmark - BUF
    Mikko Koskinen - EDM
    Jonathan Bernier - DET
    Alexandar Georgiev - NYR
    Thomas Greiss - DET
    Laurent Brossoit - WPG
    Devan Dubnyk - SJS
    Michael Hutchinson - TOR
    Matt Murray - OTT
    Keith Kinkaid - NYR
    Malcolm Subban - CHI
    Scott Wedgewood - NJD
    Antti Raanta - ARI
    Ville Husso - STL
    Filip Gustavsson - OTT
    Ryan Miller - ANA
    Carter Hutton - BUF
    Troy Grosenick - LAK
    Eric Comrie - WPG
    Joey Daccord - OTT
    Jonas Johansson - COL
    Alex Lyon - PHI
    Alexei Melnichuk - SJS
    Kasimir Kaskisuo - NSH
    Logan Thompson - VGK
    Calvin Pickard - DET
    Marcus Hogberg - OTT
    Anton Forsberg - OTT
    Anthony Stolarz - ANA
    Oscar Dansk - VGK
    Artyom Zagidulin - CGY
    Christopher Gibson - TBL
    Dustin Tokarski - BUF
    Aaron Dell - NJD
    Craig Anderson - WSH
    Stuart Skinner - EDM
    Hunter Miska - COL
    Ivan Prosvetov - ARI
    Veini Vehvilainen - TOR
    Collin Delia - CHI

    Do you see any better options to the goalies I already own?

    Thanks for your adivce!

    Nothing sticks out, I'd give it to the trade deadline to see if one of the CBJ goaltenders are moved. Agree with RHS that Petersen might be worth a look but I wouldn't drop either of the starters, it would need to be one of the CBJ goalies and there doesn't seem to be a clear starter between the two. Hard to know which you would drop.

    I own Samsonov currently and he has not been good. If this is not a keeper league I'd seriously consider cutting him for Petersen. Samsonov will correct himself but not sure I'd be waiting for that for the remainder of this year anyway..

    Thanks alot for all your input so far!

    Indeed, there is no clear option to improve. The thing is: if I drop one of the CLS goalies I have to drop the other one as well. With how the season is going I think it's better to have such a goalie duo in order to get all the starts. And there lies the issue with both Lehner and Samsonov. Fleury and Vanecek have been very good this season and it is more of a time share.

    I have been thing about Jones but I'm just to afraid that he will come crashing down again once I pick him up.

    Any other opinions out there? All input is welcome!

    I’d dump Elvis for Jones. CLB’s defence is decimated and I think Torts prefers Korpisalo. It’s Jones’ net with Dubnyk traded. Maybe wait to see if one of the Jackets’ goalies get traded first.

    Like I said, I am only allowed to have goalies from three different teams, so dropping one of the CLB's goalies means I have to drop both. Otherwise I cannot add another goalie from a different team. Only exception is if a trade in the NHL happens. So, maybe one of Elvis of Korpisalo gets traded.

    I agree that CLB is a mess this year and now that Savard has been traded away it did not get any prettier...

    Petersen is an interesting option; not sold on Jones either. Big questions with CBJ this offseason... will Torts be back? - If not, I'd have some significant fears for CBJ goalies in the short term -- next, neither CBJ goalies have necessarily proven to be #1s -- very big risk one goes to Seattle. Also, with all these deadline moves, the Seth Jones contract decisions, and the Laine / Dubois mess there's a risk that this team is pushed into rebuild. A lot of big "ifs" ahead and a real moment of reckoning for the GM is coming -- this all being said, LA may be the better primed team to take the next step; you have to like their prospect pool and the way they're trending right now.

    A couple things.

    Petersen looks like the best option here to me, but not sure he's an upgrade on Samsonov. He also should have a good future.

    If you grab Jones, I think you should also be ready to grab Melnichuk. Jones should get volume, but isn't good, just mediocre.

    Korpizalo/Merzlikins is likely Columbus' tandem next year, barring a trade. Elvis doesn't require protecting in expansion.

    agree except Elvis and Korpi will both be UFA's in 2022 so there might be an offseason move if an offer is there post expansion draft. something to monitor.
