<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Dan10900</b></div><div>I also don't really want/expect a clearly defined starter/backup, I'd try to get a 1A/1B setup with say Jarry and Vej (or 2 of your choosing between the guys available).

I agree Vej was bad 2 yrs ago, but very few goalies are consistently great, so I'll take a risk with a guy that was good last yr vs a guy that wasn't (also, yeah, I only use MP for goalies bc they adjust for rebounds and arena biases better than other sites)</div></div>

That I can understand at least - thought you were arguing for him as the starter. Depends on what you have to give up for Vejmelka. I still don't really think he's even an upgrade over Desmith - but if you're giving up minimal assets to bring him in as a backup - I'm not going to argue passionately against it.

Right - but the thing is Vejmelka has never been great. Even his great season last year resulted in a .899 save%. And I'm trying to look at the whole picture too. He doesn't get the benefit of a history of being great - say like a Gibson or a Hart(even a Campbell or Blackwood) where you can say oh maybe it was a rough year or two but he's a bounce back candidate. And he isn't a promising prospect where you could argue there's great upside - he's already 27. It's one metric, from one site, for one year. I just can't see where there's enough to make him look good.

If MP GSAx from last year is all we're going by - then the best option I see is trading for Wedgewood. Then signing Korpisalo. Then trading for Samsonov.
