Do you have an extra slot or something, or does someone gotta go? I'd pick Wheeler from those 3, cuz he's on the best team with the best shot of turning it around.

Howevaaaaaa, I'm of the opinion that the more goalies the better (I rode first on this system). Your goalies besides Backstrom are kinda meh. Goalie accounts for 5 categories for you. If there's someone good on the waiver wires, I'd look to get him. At the very least, you will dominate W/SV if he's any good.

Yeah, quality does factor in. But I still think the more the better, if you draft well elsewhere. I'm just doing it like this, since I consider goalie stats to be a special market so to speak.

My team has 16 guys who can account for 6 stats. My goalies are 4 guys who account for four stats. Now take that further, and say that there's over 600 guys league-wide who can contribute those first six stats for offense, and 30 for goalie (or, to get liberal cuz a lot of goalie tandems now, let's say 45 legit goalies and maybe 5 elite)

My four guys are gonna have more opportunities per week to dominate those stats. Plus, it helps that I'm a stat nerd and ride the fuck outta waivers and just pick up hot guys, so I'm able to make up the offensive slack

Iunno, maybe it's just me, but I always like to stay heavy on the goalies.

Yeah, I intentionally sit goalies if my GAA/SV% is already low =p. A-game pmed me once, thinking I was retarded for not dressing my goalies, haha. It's certainly not fool proof, that's for sure. That's why I love fantasy sports: So many ways to go about setting up your team.

I'm looking at the stats now, and next year, I need to do better on getting a scorer who picks up more PIMs. That's been my weakest point that I only started shoring up midway through.

Plus, about the goalies, going back to what I said about there always being a few, they're awesome trade bait. Surprisingly, no one bit this year when I had four good and great guys, and we had quite a few teams with shit in net.

Yeah he has but ever since Halak went out with the flu it seems like Price has been moving back to the main goalie position

I don't think I would need 4 goalies, I think 3 is fine but who would I drop? I was hoping Osgood would tank and Detroit goes with Conklin but it doesn't seem likely as of now =/

I think what I need would be a good RW or a good D-Men

That explains a whole lot, from the start my RW/D was horrid and now it's maybe slightly better..

I hope Vermette tears it up in CLS cause I just picked him up over Langkow and dropped SVATOS(COL)

Antropov(RW/C) is having a point-per-game so far in NYR, so that's good hahaha

Are their any sleepers that most people forget and don't pick-up? lol

Should I drop Conklin for Halak? Babcock said earlier in the season they'll rotate goalies every game then near the end he'll give Osgood more starts to get warmed up for the playoffs. I'm not sure if Halak will get the starting job..especially when it's close to the post-season cause isn't Price their franchise player?

Edit: Someone just dropped Marc-Edouard Vlasic (SJ - D), Dennis Wideman (Bos - D) and Thomas Kaberle(Day-To-Day)

Are any of those better then my current D-men right now?
