Who has the better chance of becoming a #1 this year? Or at least playing more often for a longer period of time?(and doing well?)


I know that Ellis was absolutely putrid tonight, but I dont want to get rid of him if the consensus is that he will have more starts and be a better selection long term. I am looking to get a little distance out of my #4 goalie, so I dont want to just pick up the flavor of the month? Who should legitimately be a better goalie long term this year? Thanks to all responses. This is very important for me to sure up my goaltending.

Definitely Ellis. He's been there before and has shown he can do it in the #1 spot. Niemi is a rookie. If it were a keeper, I might think differently but in the one year format definitely go with Ellis.

hmm im not sure Ellis will become #1. I think Niemi could be #1 before Ellis, I'd roll dice on Niemi

Thanks guys. Anyone else?

I don't think that Niemi will be #1 unless mr. high paid Huet bombs it even worse than he already has. He wasn't all that bad at the tail of last year, i think he's started on a slump.

Neither will be #1, but for playing time, it's easier to project Ellis in the 30-40 game range and a 1B status. Whereas I think 30 games would be an amazing feat for Niemi. If we're talking about quality starts, Niemi looks like a better option than Ellis.
