Yup, keep the healthy goalie on the top team.
I know its hard to drop Vas, but losing him for 3 months,
Then waiting a few more games for him to get the rust off....
Not worth it.
I was going to keep Vasilevskiy, who has been my keeper goalie for a few years (combined with a Kucherov/Point stack) but with the news that he's out for 2-3 months, I'm now leaning towards bailing on him and keeping Georgiev instead, who was a pricey deadline acquisition for the playoffs last year. It was honestly a tough decision who to keep even before the injury news.
Thoughts?

I think it's kind of a no-brainer to move on from Vasilevskiy and keep Georgiev. I'd normally have questions about scoring system and roster construction, but you've got a choice between a healthy Georgiev and a hurt Vasilevskiy. Pretty easy to me.
This is a keeper league - not a one year league.
Is 2-3 months worth sacrificing 3+ years of Vasilevsky?
The question really is:
Can Gerogiev provide comparable numbers to Vasil over the next 3 years to justify this decision?
Last year, the answer was yes. Georgiev statistically, was the better own.
Colorado was able to start rebuilding to contender status (after the cap crunch of last year).
TB had an exodus of key players
They're going in different directions.
I wasn't certain TB would make the playoffs with a healthy Vasil.
I expect Col. to win the division & challenge for Pres. Trophy.
I'd do the swap as well...
When talking Vasil in a keeper... it's best to unpack the decision.

I'd keep Georgiev as well. I wonder how far Vas will fall in your draft. I'd be willing to pounce maybe a round before you think the value is right.
