Hey I know this is a bit of a stupid question, but I was wondering if someone could help me. Who is the starter for Edmonton, Conklin or Markanen (or however you spell it). Also on my league would it be better to pick up the starter of those two or Roloson? Our league only has 3 goalie categories, 1. Wins2. Shut-Outs3. Save PercentageCheers-The Ottawa Biatch

If you don't need a guaranteed starter, go with Roloson. I think he's going to get a few more starts than Manny this year, and I would rate him above the Edm. crew. My best guess is 65-35 in favor of Roli over Manny this year.If there is any team in the NHL that can lose a game 2-1, it's Minnesota.

Edmonton is rotating their starting goalie position between Markkannen and Conklin, which is tough because you just never know who will be in net. Roloson is pretty well running away with the starting gig in Minnesota.

Fernandez missed a scheduled start due to back spasms, or the ice time would have followed Lemaire's rotation. Unless he stays hurt don't count on Roloson seeing significantly more time.

Rolie just shutout Vancouver, don't expect to see Fernandez start a game until Roloson has a bad start.

I think Markannen is somewhat more of a starter and Conklin the back up. Jussi is way better, so at least that is how it should be.

I would agree, but until one of them shines or screws up, Edmonton is going with the platoon system.
