Backstrom (G) for Giguere?

[repenttokyo]

I have Backstrom. My other G are Fleury and Bernier. First year of a keeper pool. Would you do it?

What stats count? Seems to me these two should post really similar numbers this year [I like Backstrom to edge Giguere a little overall this season].

Long-term Giguere is probably more solidified as the starter in Anaheim than Backstrom is in Minnesota so if you plan to keep either for some time then one could make a case for Giguere.

My thoughts...wait on this a little. Giguere isn\'t 100% yet and Backstrom should post some good numbers. I think you could net a little more in trade if you hold off for maybe a month.

stats are gs, w, gaa, svs, svpct.

I think you are probably right re: wait a little bit and see.

Waiting is the old double edged sword - you gamble either way - that Backstrom\'s value goes up or he stumbles and Harding slides in.

Giggs would be a pretty easy call for me here - age isn\'t critical in the equation - Giggie is a producer of some tenure and don\'t see that changing anytime soon.
