Who would you rather have in a 1-year league straight up? Bobo has played better than Nitty so far this season but with Leighton on the heels ofhis return, will Bobo now take a back seat? I can't see any way Bobo's production stays the same even if he still gets a fair share of starts because Leighton will play a much bigger role than Boucher has.
Nitty seems to be the #1 in SJ, but Niemmi is also there.
Both situations are not ideal. Bob's I am betting in the end keeps the #1 gig but will lose some starts to Leighton.
Also for whatever the reason Nitty keeps losing starts to Niemi even though he has been horrific but with the last game shutout you know he just bought himself a few more starts.
Either way is a guess, but if I had to guess I would go with Bob's I like Lavy to run with the hot hand and roll with the kid!
I would happily take Bobrovsky over Niittymaki. I don't think Leighton is that good for one thing. For another that SJ goaltending set-up is likely to be all over the map - Niemi's shutout certainly warns me off.
