Advice-Please Help

So here is the scenario. I am up 57 points in a points based league and we are getting down to the nitty gritty. I have 1 move remaining before I max out my moves for the season. The only person who poses any real threat is 57 points behind me and I want to keep him there.

I am currently carrying 4 goalies. Rinne,Thomas,Schneider, and Bishop, but with Bishop getting hurt, it seems as is I may need to drop him asap. What would you do? Would you a) Drop Bishop and pickup another goalie? (the waiver wire list isn't impressive) or b)Drop Bishop and pick up a someone like Matt Cooke on Pittsburgh who seems to be red hot?

Rolston, Hodgson, and Hornqvist are out there too.

and as far as goalies go..

Harding and Rolosson are the only two worthy of consideration. The guy behind me picked up Holtby and Conklin within a matter of 1 day.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Cooke will be good as long as Crosby centers that line. What categories are covered?

Basically, it's a points based league. So we get 2 goalie starts and points for Goals, Assists,PIM,SOG, and Hits. No +/-.

First of all Rollie should not be a consideration.

Second, I would say Cooke based on the fact he plays with Crosby, Kennedy available?

You have a 57 point lead. In a typically fantasy hockey night (6-7 games), how many points might you expect from yourself (or your opponent)?

What does a goalie get (approximately) for a win in a typical game?

Ok here is the breakdown of points.

Forwards/Defensemen

Goals (G) 3
Assists (A) 2
Penalty Minutes (PIM) .5
Powerplay Goals (PPG) 1
Powerplay Assists (PPA) 1
Shorthanded Goals (SHG) 1
Game-Winning Goals (GWG) 3
Shots on Goal (SOG) .3
Hits (HIT) .25

Goalies:

Games Started (GS) 1
Wins (W) 10
Goals Against (GA) -1
Saves (SV) .1
Shutouts (SHO) 5

Typically a goalie will get anywhere from 10-14 points. More in the case of a shutout.

What does your team look like?

[dcguitar]

Ok here is my team. Keep in mind that I have had to make some moves throughout the season to get this far, which is why I only have 1 move left.

F-Getzlaf,Berglund,Pavelski,Hagelin,E.Kane,J.Neal,Ko valchuk,McGinn,Stafford.
D-Weber,Erhoff,Burns,Timmonen.
G-Thomas,Rinne,Schneider,Bishop

The trouble I see with picking up Harding is that, despite Minnesota playing four games this week, he'll likely only be available to you for two starts (at best). Minnesota's schedule overlaps with both Boston and Nashville quite a bit this week (I didn't even look at Vancouver). So, you have to ask yourself this question: is there a forward out there who will get me more points this week than I'd get from Harding (who might only get 1-2 starts for my team this week)?
