Given these goalies, which one do you think is the closest to a starting gig?

Bachman
Allen
Desjardins
Fasth
Lack
Khudobin
Poulin
Nhilstorp

I think Bachman (might be deemed trade bait - New Jesey/Toronto maybe? - with Nhilstorp as back up) and Poulin myself.

Lack is a talent but looking at how Vancouver has hung on to Schnieder, I can't see him getting a shot at a gig anytime soon.

Montreal just recently acquired Desjardins so I can't see him getting out from under Prices shadow anytime soon.

Fasth and Khudobin are the wild cards in my opinion of the list though I think Fasth is the better goalie between the two.

All opinions welcomed and if I can squeeze some rep out of my water pistol of a rep gun, I will.

Bachman closest to starting gig (20+ starts under Lehtonen to give him exposure) and Lack has the most long-term potential.

I agree with Eric. Bachman due to Lehtonen's injury history would be the closest. Out of the bunch, I'd also take Lack for upside.

With that said, an injury to a starter could thrust a lot of those guys into the spotlight

I think Bachman will get the most starts once the season gets going. But most are an injury away from starting.

You should post this in the Goalie Guild Fantasy mailbag and Goalie guru Justin will answer for you.

Any way you can include Matt Hackett on that list? I would think he has a better path than at least half of those guys.

But I agree, Bachman is the clear cut winner as to who's in front of him.
