For just this year, I'd prefer Kochetkov. Seemingly a 50% starter for as long as Andersen is out. And more for when/if Raanta gets hurt. Something is up in Buffalo, at least so far, where the spirit of last year's success isn't quite in the air.
Im in a keep 8 but trying to win this year
W= 2 SO=1 bonus point
Wondering if it would be smart to just cut bait on Levi and pick up Kotchetkov from WW at this point.
I highly doubt Levi will be a keeper for me anyway since I have a strong team, the only way I would keep him is if he had a lights out season but it's not looking great both for him and Buffalo as a whole right now.
Thanks.

Yes I’d drop Levi for K.
My opinion of Kochetkov is he is the future of Carolina. Currently we don't know how long andersen will be out, but while andersen is out, that makes him the present as well.
Kochetkov is awesome. Carolina is struggling, but when I watch the games, it's a team issue rather than goalie issue. Orlov and DeAngelo are absolutely putrid together. Orlov is having a real hard time figuring out their complicated system of defense
I'm still on the fence because I think both guys have talent and its not like Kochetkov is doing much better at the moment.

As someone who owns both, I prefer Kotchetkov both in a single year league and dynasty.

You don't like Kotchetkov with Carolina this season? He's had a 2.45 and 2.44 GAA the last couple seasons in 27 starts. I know his stats haven't been great in his first 5 games this season but that is mainly due to one really bad start in Colorado. If Andersen is not coming back, I'm pretty high on him the rest of the season in a 1A/1B role until Raanta gets hurt.

No I do not. It’s a 10 teamer and all they track are Ws. Find another actual starter.

If that is the case, I doubt there are many better available options than Kotchetkov. Plus, you have to figure Carolina is going to start playing better and odds are Raanta is going to get hurt leaving Kotchetkov as the main starter for a team that many considered a strong Cup contender at the start of the season. Yeah, I'd make that swap ASAP. Good luck.

Follow up, anybody have thoughts on J Johansen or UPL instead?

UPL if only because when Vasilevskiy comes back, Jonas' value is sharply reduced. He hasn't played well, but has 7 wins because TB is good. At least UPL has the possibility of reaching the promise he seemed to show in the past.
Raanta is hurt….. as per usual. Not sure how Koch will play but he should get lots of starts now
