Default Goalie advice

I'm looking at dropping Giguere & picking up another goalie. Colorado's schedule just doesn't look nice going into Feb.

Note that our league doesn't count wins just SV% & GAA, but the goalie has to have a reasonable chance of playing.

so here's some of the FA pool: Greiss, Garon, C. Mason, Ellis, Biron, Theodore, Nilstorp, Fasth, LaBarbera, Neuvirth.

anyone stand out?

thanks

Giguere's still in the league?

The only guys there with a reasonable chance of playing are Neuvirth, Labarbera (only if Smith is out) and Theodore. Slim pickins.

Neuvy is a great option but keep an eye on Fasth. He *might* get to steal some starts from Hiller in Anaheim.

Neuvirth and Theodore are much better options than Giguere. Theodore is a starting goalie so that's a pretty big plus, and Neuvirth has the chance to be the starter for the Caps, and at the very least will get nearly half the games for the Caps this season. Neither of them are great goalies, but they are both upgrades, and neither seem to be on great teams to make them stand out. Choosing between Neuvirth and Thedore is about how good you think Holtby will be, if you think Holtby will be the guy for the Caps this season, then go Theodore, but if you don't have much faith in Holtby go with Neuvirth. Again both guys are upgrades over Giguere.

I'd go with Neuvy or Theodore. Probably Neuvirth.

Don't see why Giguere is owned when those kinds of alternatives are out there...I'd rather have a handful of guys over JSG (Garon, Greiss, Theodore, Neuvirth)

Well, our format is a bit strange for goaltenders - no wins, just GAA & SV%, so I left my goaltenders until late in the draft. Getting Luongo in round 14 is pretty good & somehow I'm at near the top of the goal-tending stats. That probably won't last with the way CO is playing....

That being said I probably just got rushed in the 90 sec draft window when getting Giguere.

Appreciate the advice & I'll keep an eye on Neuvirth & probably make the snag after watching the game tonight. Cheers!

Is there somekind of minimum games played requirement? The reason I ask is that in a roto, with no wins why wouldn't you just run with 1 goalie, and spot start him at that? Luongo right now has a 2.20 and a .917 which would have been good for 6th overall last year. If there is no minimum games played I'd be tempted to bench him for all but the easiest games and if he ever got under 2.00 bench him for the season.

If there is a minimum games played requirement I'd add Neuvirth.

There's no minimum # of games but the commish has said that your goalie has to have a reasonable chance of playing, so you can't start someone who's sitting on a shut-out but won't play for the rest of the season
You also can't run with only 1 goalie - the commish knows everyone in this pool so anyone who tries that will hear from him.

From what I saw tonight Neuvirth looked alright, but the stats aren't great - 3.07 GAA & .897 SV%. There's 3 more games for WAS until Sun. so I'll still wait before I make a move.
Anyone got the skinny on Chad Johnson? - Tippett is going with him again on Wed. & PHO seems to have a good defensive system going.
