    4th goalie?

    I'm considering dropping my extra defenseman (probably Kevin Bieksa) in favor of another goalie.

    My current defenseman are:
    Christian Ehrhoff
    John-Michael Liles
    Alex Pietrangelo
    James Wisniewski
    Kevin Bieksa

    My current goalies are:
    Ryan Miller
    Jonas Hiller
    James Reimer

    The goalies I'm deciding between are:
    Tuuka Rask
    Mike Smith
    Jonathan Bernier
    Evgeni Nabokov
    Cory Schneider
    Mathieu Garon
    Johan Hedburg
    Craig Anderson

    I'm leaning toward either Garon or Rask.

    So what do you guys think? Should I make this move at all? And if so, who should I drop and who should I grab?

    Yes. Defensemen, especially lower tier are easily replaceable IMO. I like reliability of starts (adds to point totals)...so I'd go with Nabby. I guessing he will take all over the starting gig in NY, and partially because this is the first real chance for them to make the playoffs in years.

    Nabokov's not a terrible option for the reasons the poster above me made

    Hm, Nabokov and Rask over Garon? I figured with as bad as Roloson is playing Garon might be around for a while. Then Mike Smith seems to be Phoenix's definite starter.

    Yes he is, do you think he'll get the 1 spot over Halak?

    It might be a situation to watch...
