Is Goligoski going to turn it around or he's droppable at this point? Who to pick up?

Doesn't seem like Goligoski will ever remove Daley from the top powerplay and top pairing.

Under these point scoring categories, who should I replace Goligoski with?

[Jordyr77]

pick up Josi maybe? Id probably hold on.

[RevRath]

Josi or Ehrhoff maybe but Ehrhoff's role might change when Maata is back. I'd wait it out. Goligoski should still give you solid stats come the end of the season.

Anyone else on Goligoski vs Ehrhoff going forward this year?

G,A,+/-,PPP,SHP,PIM,HIT,BLK

I have Goli and I'd probably drop him for Josi or Ehrhoff were they available.

Goligoski is maddeningly inconsistent though. He still got to 40 pts last year after having a miserable start.

He does this every year if it makes you feel any better. Right now his big problem is that he's PP2 behind Daley so he's not getting any of those PPP. if that continues he's not going to post the 45-50 pts I had him penciled in for

so what do you figure for pt wise now then?

I'm hoping Daley slumps and he takes over again but otherwise I'm thinking 35 pts

I'm curious why in general people see Daley as this offensive force who will never leave the top PP. Is there something I'm missing about this guy? When did he suddenly become so reliable and proven? He hasn't been a PP1 guy most of his career. His career high is 27 pts. I mean, good for him if he's finally panned out at 31, but how sure are we it'll continue? I'm not trying to rip him down, but I guess I feel a little shocked that suddenly he's gone from fantasy irrelevance to "he's a lock on PP1!"

Wow, you made me look it up to double check and I misread the numbers. I thought it had Daley as 4PPG and 4PPA = 8PPP but it was actually 4PPP total (just the goals), and Goli has 3 PPA on the year (I thought he had none).
I had assumed he was PP2 because the last 2 or 3 games they almost exclusively had 4 forwards + Daley, but when I expanded the time period on leftwinglock you can see that the most common PP1 is: Seguin/Benn/Spezza + Goli/Daley.

I'm more optimistic now that it's just his typical early season slump, thanks for inspiring me to dig thru it
