Adding DeSmith
Yahoo H2H keeper league. Goalie stats W SV SV% SO
Playoffs start next week March 11-17, but I have a BYE in round 1 so starts don't matter that week. My starts will be concerned with matchups during week 24 (Mar 18-24) and week 25 (Mar 25-31).
Current goalies: Shesterkin, Otter, Grubauer
Waiver wire available G: DeSmith, Forsberg, Mrazek, Soderblom, Wedgewood (for platoon) and pretty much all the other backups (except no Quick, Broissoit, and Stolarz)
With Demko banged up, I am considering adding DeSmith for the playoff run as my #4. I could add another skater instead, but I have crunched my numbers for forward/def positions and there isn't much quality for the starts I could get. Week 25 is particularly bad for scheduling since every team basically plays Tues Thur Sat that week, so I think adding some possible goalie starts down the stretch is the way to go.
Dallas doesn't have any B2B in those 2 weeks so I don't think adding Wedgewood to platoon makes sense. DeSmith is intriguing because of the opportunity to step in, but Demko's situation isn't clear yet and I only have until 11:59 PM pacific to do adds for the playoffs. Do I take the gamble on DeSmith? Or should I take someone like Mrazek or Forsberg who will likely get around 50% of their team's starts?
Thanks in advance!
