Upgrades in Forwards

[Slaxys]

Team and scoring in signature.

I feel my forwards, especially with Ott now only playing 3rd line in Buffalo, needs some upgrading. Maybe even Brown needs an upgrade. Who from the waiver wire would be an upgrade to my forwards? I'm leaning towards Wheeler for Ott, but let me know what you guys think?

Wheeler
Dubinsky
Stepan
O'Reilley
Roy
Little
Berglund
Gagner
Steen
Tlusty
Shaw
McDonald
Turris
Kreider
Eakin
Nyquist
Atkinson
Schwartz
Stewart
Malone
C. Smith

I think switching Ott for Wheeler is a safe bet.

With your weighting, the two are pretty close to a wash.

If you assume (with similar G:A ratio as last year) Ott puts up 25ish points, 80ish PIMs, little PPtime and Wheeler 35-40ish, 30ish PIMS, and PP1 time - Ott may still be slightly more valuable. PIMs can be a crapshoot sometimes, so I'd stick with Wheeler.

I like the idea of dropping Ott or JVR in favour of Wheeler. From that list Dubinsky could be a real good grab, he puts up big PIM, and has the chance to put up some nice points for the Jackets, he might be worth considering over JVR.
