Goalie shuffle - Fleury, Gus, or add one?

I currently have Shesterkin and Vas, both of whom seem to suck right now. So I grabbed Gustavsson and of course he goes IR on me. He's on my IR. Then I picked up Fleury and now he's disappointing too. Would it be smart to cut ties with Gus, Fleury or both and maybe pick up Ersson and/or Jones?

Thanks! Will rep!

I'd cut ties with Fleury and stream the hot hand of Jones personally. Gus is good and once Minny gets some players back off IR they should improve and help his numbers.

Yes go with Jones for now. Fleury will lose his job soon when Gus returns and they're already giving the kid starts to not overwork him.

Good advice, guys. Thanks. Should I drop Fleury before his game tonight against PHL or hope that he can help me? Jones does not have a game tonight. But I am risking that someone else will pick him up if I don't move quickly. Is Flower a must-start tonight? I don't necessarily need him, but if he does get a win and does better than a 3.60 GAA it will help me this week.

This is what I came here to say too.

If Gus is on your IR - don't drop him.

Drop Fleury and play the hot hands or the matchups.

The risk of Jones getting taken is really your call since you know your league and GMs. Fleury "should" be a solid start tonight but again goalies have been such a mystery this year. In most leagues (depth depending) Jones is rostered so it really is a toss up if he will get taken. With Minny's injuries and how they have been playing I don't know what team to expect tonight. I would probably sacrifice the start tonight to get the hot hand in Jones. Take my opinion for what it is which isn't worth a ton haha.

Thanks Chewbert. I made the move... grabbed Jones. Now Fleury will post a shutout for sure, and you MIN fans can thank me later.

[Chewbert]

haha "this is the way"... of fantasy hockey. That's the move I would have done. I'd rather give myself a better opportunity going forward then risk the chance of missing out for one start. If he gets a shutout I will make a goalie trade in one of my leagues in your honour and I'll even bring you in for your input. With it being -100 here this weekend I have all the time in the world to be a trade-aholic.
