Which Philadelphia goalie is most worth keeping in a fantasy league: Bobrovsky, Leighton or Boucher?

No Flyer goalie is playing like a #1 right now.

Bobrovsky got off to a great start (11-2-1) but is 4-3-2 in his last nine decisions. He could be sent down to the AHL to "get his game back".

Leighton returned from his October back surgery and was shaky in his first game back. He allowed 4 goals on 36 shots but got the win.

Boucher was pulled in the second period of his last start (Dec.28 @ Van.).

It would be wise to keep an eye on Philly's goaltending for the next couple of games to see if any stability arises.

Right now- nothing appears certain in regards to their three goalies.

I see Leighton getting moved as soon as he gets some time in at the AHL. Someone will take a chance that he can recapture the magic of last year.

Boucher has his moments, but i can't see Philly riding him to a Championship. He reminds me still of a journey man.

Bob on the other hand has been a pleasant surprise this year, but playoffs are another beast and i don't think he can carry the team either.

Philly will move a goaltender or 2 and make a push for a veteran like Vokoun. Trade Boucher and Leighton, keep Bob

Leighton is injury prone

Boucher is more of a back-up goaltender

Bob has the potential to be a solid starter but has cooled off towards the end of this season.

If I had to choose I would take Bob
