Skater Cats: G, A, PPP, SOG, Hits, Blocks (6 total)
Goalie Cats: W, SV%, GAA (3 total)
This is only my 2nd time playing fantasy hockey, so bear with me. Last year our league started 10 skaters + 2 goalies per week, which I believe is the standard setting. In an effort to increase roster depth, we are now starting 15 skaters but still only 2 goalies.
How do you think this change affects the value of top goaltenders overall? The way I see it, it is now harder for any one skater to affect the outcome of a game since the extra skaters will drown out their production. Meanwhile, a Vasilevsky or a Hellebyuck has the potential to single-handedly win you multiple categories each week at the cost of only 1 pick. Am I off base here, or do you think it might be smart to splurge on top goalies in the first few rounds?
Thanks for the help
