Is Francouz a keeper?

[joeb323]

Roto League 2 in signature - goalies are important as they make up a good chunk of the categories. My plan is leaning towards keeping all 4 of my goalies:

Swayman
Husso
Hart
Francouz

Im sorta exiting a rebuild mode and entering into a retool mode instead. I’m wondering if I should keep Francouz, or use that spot on a forward keeper where I could use some more depth.

If I don’t keep Francouz, that allows me to keep both of Burakovsky and Nichushkin, or I’ll have to cut one. Trying to figure out which 2 of those 3 would be the best decision heading into next year.

How many do you start at each spot, and are the starts daily or weekly? It really depends on your other options, and rules. I am in two leagues where he wouldn't be kept by me, and one where he would - however he should be kept by somebody in at least one of those two leagues where I personally wouldn't keep him.

What quantity and quality of goalies are available to draft each year? Can you give us an idea of the top 5-10 who weren't kept going into the year? I mean as it looked at beginning of year, roughly.

We start 12 forwards, 6 D, and 2 goalies, and you can make daily lineup changes.

Last year here were the NHL goalies taken at the draft (basically everyone else was kept):

Georgiev
Talbot
Quick
Khudobin
Allen
Broissoit
Desmith
Halak
Hill

Okay. In that case I think all 4 are keepers.

Yes, another goalie hoarding league by the looks of it so ya, keep as many as you can (:

It would help to see your roster and know who would be dropped if you kept Francouz, this is a fairly import factor here. Still, Francouz is the guy I'm dropping of the guys you list, I do like the other three more so than Francouz.

I think I might just keep Francouz, draft a player comparable to to Burakovsky/Nichuskin and could always trade Frankie at a later date if need be.

We had same problem in our league years ago, we imposed a 2G keep limit, as everyone would just hoard goalies, so every year is usually at least a half decent crop of goalies available.

Cannot tell for sure without seeing your roster but in a keep-20 a solid goalie who is a "1B" with potential upside is going to be a keeper over someone who is essentially a waiver wire add/drop.
Keep Francouz.
