Of that total, Pekka Rinne accounted for 8.52 points, or 9.2%. Per player, he's the second highest on my team after Stamkos, but as a position goalies account for the lowest number of points by far (other than Util, unless I decided to play Stamkos there all season).

Obviously, I want to try and fill the position every night, so I think having more than one goaltender is a good idea, but having four like I do is definitely overkill.

Interesting indeed, and it shows the relatively low value a second goalie would have, unless you are lucky on having two goalies that don't conflict that often. Perhaps worth enquiring to that manager whether he's interested in a second goalie, such as Anderson? I would gather that in a league of this setup it comes down to manager strategy on the importance of goaltending so I would be prepared for a rejection or a back end forward. As Reimer is not guaranteed to be the starter (I think, but can be corrected) so probably has very little value in this league and could safely be dropped for a skater. What other goalies are available on FA?

I've since dropped Reimer and added Troy Brouwer off the FA list. I can't check right now since I'm at work, but I know there were quite a few goalies available who were at least comparable to, if not better than Reimer. I'll see if I can get anything for Anderson... if not, I'll roll with 3 tenders for now and hope to capitalize on an injury or something if the season ever starts!

Another thing I've noticed is that you have ten bench slots! I wonder how often you will use those players, especially if we have a shortened, condensed schedule. With that in mind, I wonder if a third goalie might actually (marginally) help you more than a second/third bench skater per position, whom you may only use once (if at all) per week. That being said, with a condensed schedule, you may not use Anderson much as well, but like you said, could be good insurance or even trade bait later on if other managers have injuries.

Have you ever used/seen the 'same night tool' that has been shared on this site? If not, do a search and you'll find it easily. Essentially, it identifies conflicts between players in a specific position depending on who you start and how many are on your bench. If we do have a shortened season, once the schedule is decided I would guess that the SNT owner will update it. Could be very useful if you are keeping Anderson to see how often he'll conflict with your top two goalies.

Thanks a ton for the advice! Rep given.
