A lot of nice looking schedules for the top TSNP goalies for the first 3 weeks after the break...
Abbey 11 games no b2b's.. 1 tough stretch out of the box with St. Louis, Detroit and Vanny in row.
Theo 11 games 1 b2b... two Ottawa games and two others @TOR and @Bos are spread through the period
Brody 12 games, but 4 b2b's... other than 1 @philly and 1 @TOR, nothing looks too rough... heard a rumor that brody may not play too many b2b's the second half.. looking for verification of that rumor.
Belfour 11 games 2 b2b.. only one game home vs Boston looks rough...
Luongo 11 games 1 b2b and the only really rough games looks to be Toronto at home and @BOS.
It's going to be tough to decide amoung these 5... At the moment I'm thinking I'll have belfour and Theo out of the box and then go to Abbey from Belfour after the 3 tough games the first week..
Anyone else care to comment on their goalie plans...

Aebischer - trend is, plays 3 or 4 then rests, regardless of b2b, so it would look like sit for home against Edm, then sit for on the road at C-bus. Still decent.
Theodore - plays as much as anyone, not too many games I can see as nasty potential except for the road game in Ottawa. Probably will use him.
Brodeur - In my view, b2b is good, at least you know when he might not start, until I see evidence of the reduced load, I'll take the "show me" approach. He'll stay put on my team till then.
Vokoun - plays a lot as well. A bunch of low scoring opponents, wait, everyone is low scoring, oh well, he works for me as well.
Luongo - he just makes saves, if Florida can score they can win.
Probably this bunch is where I will focus my attention.

Esche is #1 in Philly. Hackett is out with Vertigo.
Philadelphia will be looking for a starter.

I've currently got one post AS Break goalie in place... I picked up Theo who barring a huge blow up or an injury, I will hold for at least the next Month...
Now all I have to do is to decide who will fill my second goalie spot.. I'm currently holding Raycroft and will likely continue to hold him into the break. The question will come during/after the break who I will get...

Call me crazy, but I think I'm going to hold Aebisher since I've been having trade problems. This bucks my RV-first always strategy but I feel I can use my trades more efficiently at W.

I wouldn't say that your strategy is necessarily crazy although.. with the Three day hole and 3 tough games coming out of the box after the AS Break.. It could be a little risky for both points and dollars in the Short term.. For the long term, it should be a viable plan as Abbey is proving to be a solid keeper and plays on a great team...

I plan on going with Boucher and Belfour. That should leave me with plenty of money for 4 stud wingers, Sundin, Thornton, and 3 solid D-men.
