    Default Drop Hiller for Lindback

    Neither one of these guys is going to be on my team long term but I need the starts and I figure that Lindback covers my bases while Rinne is down. And with the shutout last night....... Hiller is definitely the starter but there is no trade value for him in my league (he's already been on 4 teams and dropped every time).

    I am not sure how Hiller is droable on a team with Rask and Bernier?? Pavelec is your best starter you need to keep Hiller IMO

    Yes but Lindback is the starter until Rinne comes back. Once Rinne returns, Pavelec and Rinne will get me the minimum games needed per week. My goaltending is definitely significantly weaker then I thought it would be this season. I figured Rask would be the number one guy, Rinne would be the number one guy, S.Mason would get the bulk of the starts and Bernier would be good for a start every other week. So I traded Varly and a pick for Cammaleri. Thank god Pavelec was on the WW last week or I would be dead in the water.

    And then what do you do when Rinne comes back and the starts are split between the two?

    I think you'll find that as the season progresses he'll have more trade value. He may also have you thinking about keeping him on your team long term.

    Edit: Like "not ballplyr but the other guy" already said, you kinda need to keep Hiller right now.

    You have to think long term in net Rinne will be back soon then what?? then Lindback is taking up a spot on your roster and you would likely drop him. Hiller is a #1 all year long and offers you more wins and more chances at shutouts as he will play atleast 2 times as many games as lindback.
