Who would you rather?

[BranDOOM]

Cal Petersen or Jake Oettinger.

League in signature. Both goalies are same price to keep at $6.

Thanks!

Easily Petersen for me. He's already the starter, his team is up-and-coming and I think he has a higher upside than Oettinger.

Follow up, would you rather Petersen at $6 to keep over Samsonov at $11?

[stevegamer]

I'd keep Petersen over either of the other two options mentioned.

[Belexus75]

I think eventually Samsonov will be very good but with money difference and what we know today, I’ll keep CP

[tweetdrivr]

Oettinger for me.

[Swarley]

Close one for me, I like the way the kings are headed more than Dallas but that can change . Oettinger has the higher upside in my opinion so I’d go with him.

[senryu]

Oettinger.

[rufio.85]

I like the way Oettinger played last season, but I'm mostly pleased by the defence he has in front of him.
He's my choice because Khudobin, Bishop and Holtby won't be around for much longer in my opinion.

Petersen is a nice goalie but rebuilds don't always work out, even if LA has great prospects.
See the Sabres right now and the Oilers before lucking out on McDavid.

Big-time Oettinger fan. Have been a fan of his from day 1 and like his path.

[Feenom]

Going with Ott. LA looks nice but that's a ways down the road.

Thanks everyone for the opinions, good group of goalies to compare!

For additional context, I have the option to acquire Cal P or Jake O for 1 waiver (6 waivers per GM per season, unless you acquire more via trade - waivers are used for add/drops, not including IR+/IR eligible players who receive replacement player free of charge). I currently have 11 waivers and a stacked keeper team, albeit expensive.

I'm going for it this year, but unfortunately my goalie is the weakest position and these are the best options available (If I were to swap out Samsonov). I would also save $5 for draft. I'm leaning towards trading for JakeO, and hoping he gets ample playing time (4 Dallas goalies worries me though)

Given that you're going for it this year, no way I would make that move for Oettinger. That Dallas crease is too crowded, and they will need to find games for Khudobin and Holtby, sounds like Bishop is out long term.

[jhonny]

Cal Petersen. Even with a poor record last season, his quality starts, GAA and SV% were surprisingly good. Team is arguably better now and will be in weakest division with no competition in nets. Also gives you a boost in draft funds (which by looks of those keeper costs, you will need for championship depth)!

[BranDOOM]

Thanks everyone for your feedback! Rep given where possible. Honestly I'm still torn between Sams and Petersen. I think ultimately the wins will still be a bit shaky from Petersen, and Samsonov will hopefully get it together after a tough year. He has the talent and upside, and his 1 year contract will hopefully act as motivation. I'll build around him at draft.
