    Default Drafted too many C, need to make moves

    So I drafted the team in my signature back in September. I quite like it the only problem is I have wayyy to many centres, and need to add 2 wingers. I draft my team using a spreadsheet, in each category I list the top value from the previous year (i.e. 347 G last season), as I add players their projections are added so I can see which categories I’m lightest in. My lightest skater categories are +/-, PIM and HITS. I’m thinking about the following moves to rectify that:

    1. Drop Rinaldo for Daniel Carcillo (LW). I know some argue against 2 category goons but a stud in those categories takes me from 6-7th to top 2 in each of them which is enough to justify 1 roster spot. I drafted Rinaldo thinking he was a winger but espn only lists him as a C. Reports are Carcillo is healthy (for now) which will mean high PIM and HIT totals. The nice part about the band-aid boy status is if he gets hurt I simply move on to the next best option. Lots of outlets list Konopka as a LW/C however espn only gives him C if he gets LW eligibility I’ll add him instead.

    2. Drop Desharnais/Berglund for Matt Cooke (LW). I hate to drop Desharnais because I am thinking he’ll have a good year with solid A and PPP totals however he’s the softest guy on my team who’s dispensable. Cooke gets me LW status, a solid +/-, HITS, PIMs and hopefully a few SHP.

    These moves would leave me with 4 LW, 4 RW and 6 C those ratios are very workable in my league with the 3 Utility positions and I’ll never lose an opportunity to max out games played.

    I’ve also been offered Vanek (LW) for Thornton (C) straight up. This alleviates my LW issue but I don’t think gives me good value. I lose out in most categories and it doesn’t address the PIM, HITs issue.

    Thoughts?

    I would drop Stepan over Desharnais, I think Stepan has been passed over by other guys

    I think top 6 is

    Nash - Richards - Gaborik
    Hagelin - Kreider - Callahan

    some combination of those players. Stepan slips to third line

    I'd personally drop Berglund and pick up a LW.
    Even if you have 7C/3LW/3RW, that's not bad with a 2/2/2/+3 set-up.

    Basically just said it. I think they play Kreider at C, or maybe, Hagelin, and Stepan gets pushed out. They could even play Callahan at C. Obviously just my opinion but thats the 6 players I think are the rangers top 6 this year.

    Nash-Richards-Callahan
    Haglin-Stepan-Gaborik this is how I see the top two lines working out.

    Nash-Stepan-Gaborik
    Richards-delZotto. And this could be the top PP unit

    Gaborik showed more chemistry with Stepan than Richards last season and regardless of the chemistry there is no way I see the unproven Kreider pushing Stepan out of the top six.

    I'd hang onto Stepan and try to explore a few more trading options since there still won't be games for another week and a half

    Dropping Rinaldo for Carcillo I like, regardless of the fact that Carcillo fills a position of need, so the fact that it does is a nice plus.

    I would sooner drop Berglund then either one of Desharnais and Stepan. I would hate to drop Desharnais for Cooke.

    Callahan at C? Never. Neither Callahan nor Kreider are NHL centers. Not happening. Richards and Stepan are the guys and no one is close to touching them in New York. Positions matter.
    GO WINGS!

    Thanks for the help guys. Somehow in my analysis of goon LW Brandon Prust slipped through the cracks. I'm now debating Prust v. Carcillo. I prefer Prust as I think he will play more games, have a slightly higher points upside and will be good for a few SHP (I know they're impossible to predict but it's a slight edge). Also I think he plays all games in Montreal. Just trying to confirm his injury is old news as both espn and cbs say he has a finger injury (which I think is from around January and now a non-issue).

    I'm going to hold onto the rest of my Centres for now and try and work a trade for a winger.
