Need a D off the wire

[Plumley]

Notable on my wire and I pick 5th:

Sekera (he'll probably be the first to go)
D. Pouliot (will he stick?)
B. Smith
Clitsome
Bouwmeester (2nd half turnaround?)
Connauton


Who do you like? Thanks!

Well, Sekera is the more obvious choice but guys I also like are Pouliot and Smith. Pouliot has some serious upside, his first NHL goal last night was an absolute laser to the top corner, ya can't teach that. But will he stick, I'm guessing no. Smith is a fixture on the Detriot blueline and he has the kind of game that fits your league, meaning Roto. The problem is, he needs to keep improving and that's a risk for sure, but I'd be willing to take a shot. That and the fact that Stuart looks to be out of action for a while means having a roto type D like Smith for backup might not be a bad idea. So for me:

Smith
Pouliot
Sekara

Thanks for the reply Bubba! I also feel Smith would be a good fit for my squad. Sekera will be the first one gone. Love Pouliot but I think we all know he's not gonna be here for that long unfortunately. Kid's a beast.

Matt Donavan is there as well, but I don't really know much about him. Does he get PP time?

Smith would be my choice followed by Boomeester
