Re: Shesterkin or Sorokin...I need some help...
I cannot speak to the value/cost of goalies in your league, but if you are asking me to choose between Shesterkin and Sorokin, as things stand right now I am choosing the Shesterkin. Sorokin may be the better goalie (I really can't say), and playing in Trotz' system may be beneficial for goalies, but unless the Islanders deal Varlamov (which is highly unlikely, as I will explain later), Sorokin is going to be in a 1A/1B situation.
I suppose one might argue that Georgiev is a threat to Shesterkin, but I'm less worried about him than Varlamov. Varlamov has a high salary, which means he will be difficult to trade and (fairly or not) that salary likely earns him an opportunity to play. Plus, even if Trotz' system favors goalies, it also favors tandems. Also, Varlamov is going to be a really good mentor to have on the team for Sorokin as he adjusts to the NHL and North America. Bottom-line, I don't think Varlamov will be traded, and with him on the team, I prefer Shesterkin.
