Nikolai Khabibulin

According to the Hawks goaltending coach, Khabibulin will start in about 50 games this year, reports the Chicago Tribune. Patrick Lalime will start in the remaining 30 or so games in an effort to keep Khabibulin fresh and healthy. While neither goalie is going to carry your team to a fantasy championship, this bit of news further damages Khabibulin's fantasy value as we now consider him useful only for depth purposes in most leagues. Lalime meanwhile has no fantasy value.
