    Default 3rd goalie options

    I usually like to carry a 3rd goalie with a 4 start min. per week. Injuries happen and there's very little left in FA. Gibson is always a safe bet for starts, but is he more of a detriment? There are 2 other risky options in the pool though, cal Petersen and Carter Hart. Are either a better/safer option? Talbot worries me as far as durability goes.

    I’d grab Gibson followed by Talbot. The ducks should be somewhat better. Gibson started the season good last year and then him and the ducks fell off.

    As a third goalie I like the idea of Peterson or Gibson. I think it's a toss up as both will likely have a low .900s SV% and a close 3.00 GAA. LA has the stronger team but Gibson will offer more starts and I believe Anaheim has the better off-night schedule.

    Personally I would go with Gibson and just spot start him as needed.

    I would stay far away from Carter Hart.

    I think Talbot should start 50-55 games, I wouldn't be worried about him
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    For the off-night schedule only, I'd lean towards Gibson.

    Talbot doesn't worry me about durability, what worries me is Anton Forsberg is maybe a better goalie and knows this team already. But with Jarry as a safe #1, it's fine to have Talbot as your #2.

    I'd prefer Petersen to Gibson. Gibson hasn't been good in a while, but he does usually have a good off-night schedule. Stolarz outplayed him last year, and it could happen again. Also, LA is better than Anahiem.

    none are worth the spot. Stream week to week, my deep dive pick for value this year is Eric Comrie.

    I used the "same night tool" and found that Anaheim has the least amount of conflicts of any team with my 2 starters, if I choose to play Gibson in his starts. So looks like Gibby is my 3rd goalie, unless something better comes along. Thanks for the help.

    H2H yes.
    I'd carry just 2 goalies. Stream a G in IF needed to hit min GP.

    It may seem like a bad idea, but given the fact we count saves and Save%, sometimes having a 3rd goalie, to possibly bulk up the saves cat after the starters have bad starts to the week, is a big help. I've always been one to draft goalies later and tend to lean towards solid goalies on meh teams that see a lot of rubber. My thought is to at least split the 4 goalie cats and win with offense. Doesn't always work out, but it gives an option.

    If Talbot can handle the workload in Ottawa he is going to have a good year because that team is going to be much better. I would give him a shot.

    So I decided to go ahead and drop Gibson for, what I hope, is a stronger year from Wheeler. Gibson was literally taking a roster spot as insurance.

    This did not age well. looks like Talbot is already on the IR for a few weeks. Thankfully I was able to pick Gibson back up.
