DobberHockey’s Brennan Des ranks Ville Husso among a tier of goaltenders that are 4th-best in the league (out of 6 tiers) in terms of his fantasy hockey value:
Ville Husso (DET)
The 28-year-old netminder has two seasons with significant action under his belt: last year in Detroit, when he posted an underwhelming .896 SV% and 3.11 GAA through 56 games, and the season before in St. Louis, when he impressed with a .919 SV% and 2.56 GAA through 40 outings. Most seem willing to attribute last year’s struggles to the lackluster Red Wings team in front of Husso. I’m willing to buy that theory, but how you value Husso this year depends on what you think of the altered roster in front of him. Sure, Alex DeBrincat is a massive addition that could help secure a few more wins, but I’m not sure if the acquisitions of Jeff Petry, Shayne Gostisbehere and Justin Holl make Husso’s life easier or more difficult.
Continued; doubt can only be reversed by action.
