Turco or Leighton in one year league

[Hadess]

In a one year league with only wins (2 points) / shut out (3 points), who do you keep for the remainder of the season (can't keep both)? The way Crawford and Bob are playing, I just don't know which direction to go. Any thoughts and insights are appreciated.

Very tough... the gamble with more upside is Leighton so I'd go there but it could flop.

Tough call. Full disclosure, I own Turco, so I'm hopeful that Turco is the guy. A buddy of mine who is a Philly fan and follows that situation closely thinks Leighton will be brought back, showcased and then traded. They like Bobrovsky and think Boucher is better suited to be backup. They're also a little ticked because they think Leighton was hiding his back injury before he re-upped.

All I know is this. Flyers have it together this year and whoever is their goalie will be fine.

Can't say the same about the Hawks. I'm a big fan of boots-on-the-ground intelligence and I'm hearing that the Hawks difficulties this year go beyond Turco getting outplayed by Crawford. Sure, the numbers point to that, but there's more to the story.

That said, Turco needs to play better than he has. Even he admits that. The big question is, will he? I don't think he can be a game stealer any more, but he can be steady and that's all this team needs when they're on.

Thank you both for your insightful input. I think the deciding factor will be the best deal on the table for either player. Not sold on either unfortunately. Any other input from others?
