    Default Temporary replacement for Rinne

    Rinne has been put on IR so I want to pick up a temporary substitute to replace him. Scoring categories are GAA, SV%, W, SHO. Available candidates are : Hiller, Elliott, Niittymaki, Crawford, Varlamov and a bunch of other losers.

    I'm currently leaning towards either Hiller or Crawford but have not been paying attention to the goalie situation in WAS. I know BB likes to ride the hot hand (don't we all) so I am not sure Varly would get more than a start or two during Rinne's injury.

    Thanks for your input!

    I'm surprised some of those guys aren't already owned.

    I wouldn't grab Elliott or hiller just based on the team they play for and the other guys that are available.

    Varlamov is playing his pants off right now and he's bound to get you the wins, so he's a solid pick up until he gets injured again. BB is playing him as the #1 right now.

    Crawford is the man to own in Chi-town right now. I think he's won 7 in a row. Even with all the big-name injuries to the Hawks they still win games.

    I don't think you can go wrong between those 2 guys. Nitty is a great add too, but I think the guys above will see more time until injury or the losses pile up.

    Since this is just a temporary pickup and not a long term add, I'd pickup Crawford. Like you said ride the hot hand here. If Crawford cools off before Rinne comes back, I'd take Varly or Hiller whoever is playing better at that point.

    For now though Crawford would be who I'd take.

    Yup, just pick up Lindback. That way you have Nashville's goalies covered. If he is somehow taken, I'd go with Varlamov.

    For me as a temporary pick up why not grab the hot hand in Washington and if not I would go Lindback...

    Man, I wish those guys were around in my leauge... I had to pick up Khabibulin!

    Anyway, If you can get Lindback, I'd go with him but if he's not available Crawford is killing it and you can ride him for a while. You really should go Lindback though as he is all but guaranteed 95% of the starts while Rinne is out. He's also really motivated right now.
