Goalie waiver help
Looking for some opinions here...
I'm in a one year head to head pool (not the team that's in my sig) and I loaded up on forwards in the draft, waiting until the later rounds to grab my goalies. At the moment I have Price and Pavelec, however one of the managers just dropped both Ray Emery AND Steve Mason.
I'm not impressed with Price's performance so far, but I know he's a good goalie.
Pavalec has done well, but can he keep up the pace especially with Kovalchuk out for 4 weeks?
Would you drop either of my goalies in favour of either of the available two?
Steve Mason's got a ton of talent, but looks like he's been hit by the sophomore jinx. Emery's steady, if unspectacular, but he's got a good team in front of him that gets him wins along with a somewhat respectable SV%.
Categories are W, SV% and SO.
I have to decide today, so let me know what you guys would do! Pick two of the 4 goalies (Price, Pavelec, S. Mason, Emery) and let me know why!
My team:
C: Toews, Roy, Dubinsky
W: Iginla, Kovalchuk, Sedin, St. Louis, Kessel, Briere, Niel
D: Lidstrom, Kaberle, Whitney, Bieksa
G: Price, Pavelec
C: Crosby, Toews, Eberle, Hodgson
LW: Hall, Ryan, Benn, Carcillo
RW: Brown, Okposo, Clowe, Mueller
D: Doughty, Orpik, McBain, Whitney
G: Rask, Price

Farm Team:
Filatov, Markstrom(G), Colborne, Kreider, Tokarski(G), Connolly, Tarasenko, Campbell(G), Fowler, Niederreiter, Bennett, Kuznetsov, Ekman-Larson
Emery/Mason
Emery for sure, he's a good goalie on a very good team, with a backup that doesn't get a lot of games
The other choice is tough, between Price and Mason, but I think Price is in a real battle with Halak, and he could actually lose.
I tend to lean towards the clear cut #1 guys.
For a 1 year, I like Price and Emery (but that's cause I'm biased on Price)
It's hard to pass on Mason, but I think Price will turn it around.
If you want to play it safe, go for Mason and Emery since there are no goalie controversies in Columbus...

Thanks for the input guys.
Waivers really complicate matters as i have to make one of the choices a priority. Both goalies are on waivers until Nov 1st, so I have to decide whether to use my waiver claim on Mason, or Emery.
