Best of the young goalies
I kept Mason this past summer thinking he was the second-coming of Brodeur. He may still be, but I obviously have my doubts now. More than that, I need to improve my goaltending now in order to make a final push for the title (I would still say I have a decent shot, but NEED goaltending). I'd like to keep a young, talented goalie is my keeper moving forward, though. Besides, I've already asked about the established studs - Brodeur, Nabby, Luongo, Lundqvist, Miller, Kiprusoff, and Fleury - and none of them are moving right now. Seeing as this will be my keeper goalie slot, I place an 80/20 split on long-term potential. So, my question...
In what order would you want the goalies below, with 80% importance placed on long-term potential and 20% importance placed on the current season:
S. Mason
Niemi
Price
Rask
Varlamov
I'll kick things off by saying I would order them as Price, Mason, Varlamov, Rask, and Niemi... but, I have been a little out-of-touch from hockey (and fantasy hockey, specifically) over the last several months, so I'm looking for some more well-informed opinions. Fire away!
