    Default Who to drop for Pacioretty? (will rep)

    With Pacioretty set to return as early as next week, I have a tough decision to make.

    I picked him up off the waiver wire and stashed him in the IR and will need to drop someone to play him. I'm currently sitting in 1st place up by 35 pts.

    Who to drop? Should I package a couple guys and upgrade a position? Any advice would be great.

    I wouldn't drop any of those guys for him. A 2 for 1 upgrade would be the way to go if you can get it done

    If it was me I would look to move 2 of Pavelski, Zett, and Tarasenko. 2 hot guys like these could get you a pretty solid return in a one year league.

    Agreed. Try to make a 2 for 1 swap. Try to move something and Tarasanko since there's so much hype on him right now. If you can pry Giroux away, and he has C/RW eligibility, he would more than fill the speedy Russian's spot on the wing.

    I'm thinking of doing a pavelski + tarasenko for giroux.

    I think Zett will perform better this season. Thoughts?

    Don't drop anyone, keep Pacioretty or IR until you can swing a 2 for 1 trade.

    If you can get Giroux for Pavelski and Tarasenko, by all means go for it.

    That's a good idea... Play up Pavelski's dual-eligibility to cover the loss of Giroux's. I'd try it... Good luck.

    I could be wrong, but I think with Yahoo if a player is no longer listed on IR, but remains in the IR slot, you can't pull off any trades until you drop someone to free up that guy. So try to swing that deal ASAP, before the Habs get Patches back in the line-up.

    That could actually be true, it's been a while since I've been in the situation. I know you can't pick up new players in the situation, so trading probably applies the same way.

    But my point stands, look to make a trade before Pacioretty comes off IR, and if you can't get one done just leave Pacioretty on IR, as you are preventing an owner in your league from getting Pacioretty or the player that you would be dropping in favour of Pacioretty.
