    Default Youth or proven track record?

    If you could draft one of the 3 following goalies for a 16 team keeper league in its inaugral draft who would it be? Categories are saves, save %, wins and GAA.

    Vasilesky (sp?)
    Hellenbuyk
    Bobrovsky

    All 3 out up similar numbers in each category although Brobrovsky had 7 less wins then the other two. He's also about 5 years older then the others. The reason why I added him is hes still relatively young, has a couple vezina and consistently puts up the numbers. The other two put up fantastic numbers last year and both were vezina finalists but really haven't established much of a track record yet.

    Whichever one goes last. If I have my choice of them, I will likely choose to take another position, and see what's left at my next pick.

    Agreed. These are all top tier goalies; I'd rather go the top available skater and easily settle for what's left of these 3.

    I too like this strategy and I think it leaves you with Hellebuyck! Secretly, he’d be my top pick but I own him so don’t consider my personal bias here
