UPL Worth an add?

[PittPens1787]

League in signature. Will need to drop one when Vasilevskiy returns.

UPL was dropped, is he worth my final weekly add for Johansson?

IDK... I'd not want to invest in a Tage-less BUF team unless the schedule is really good and they're playing SJ.

I will say, I like having a "late-game Sunday" start from a goalie for last minute judgment call on GAA,SV% in H2H.

7pm BUF @ CHI (CHI goes previous day vs MON, so Soderblom might go for CHI)
8pm STL @ ANA (STL plays previous night, so Hofer might go here)

This does - possibly, make the BUF starting G for that game attractive.
I don't think I'd start a BUF G on Friday @ WPG... the Jets were clicking last night - look dangerous in WPG.

Thanks for the effort and input.

With those Sunday games, Hofer is on a farm and I have Dostal on mine in case he starts but don't want to burn a call-up - max 3 per season so I like saving them for free streams in playoffs.

I was thinking I'm dropping Johansson in a few weeks anyway so it might be worth the lottery ticket of UPL outperforming a bad starter over the next X weeks.

Well, Levi got shelled last night.
So the next game won't be his... I'm just not sure I want UPL vs. WPG.

Personally - I'd score-watch that game... if he does OK... grab him quick and have him on your roster for Sunday vs CHI... Buffalo should be favored to win that, even without Tage.
I agree that JonasJ's confidence is shot and you'll be dumping him soon.

Good luck - let us know what you decide and how your Sunday goalie stats shake out!!!

Also keep an eye on Eric Comrie who sounds to be getting close. Im not sure if he'd get a game this week, but IMO him returning clouds this even more. I would stick with JJ and make the smooth transition to Vasilevskiy when he makes his triumphant return.

I'd be willing to do that as Johansson is turning into the guy we thought he was.

If it helps you this week, it's a good move for future value if nothing else.

I sure enjoyed facing him that week in h2h when he decided to be Hasek and get two straight shutouts LOL

Didn't grab UPL from waivers and he's currently still available, I will be score-watching the game vs WPG.

New twist, Raanta was dropped yesterday and I am leaning towards claiming him. Half of the CAR crease sounds a lot better than half (maybe half-to-a-third) the BUF crease

[pmorrow]

It sounds like Comrie is starting tomorrow.

Raanta is the guy you want yeah.

[stevegamer]

I like Raanta for you as well. Either works for me. I'd probably wiat to see if Raanta clears. If so, grab him, if not grab UPL

[PittPens1787]

Got Raanta off waivers for Johansson and will reevaluate in a few weeks when Vas is ready to go. Thank you all for the input!
