    Default Which two of these bums makes my team?

    So I've had some trouble with the injuries recently (damn you Gallagher!) and need to fill a couple of holes for at least the next month. Which two of the following guys on my WW would be the best pick ups long(ish) term?

    Abdelkader - will he eventually cash in on his linemates?
    Zibanejad - bumped down the depth chart?
    Boedker - great player, but low scoring team
    Anisimov - too high sh%?
    Simmonds - or does he suck this year?
    Bennett - I hate rookies usually
    Nelson - only a matter of time before he's off the top line
    Komarov - nice hits, but goals won't keep coming?
    Scheifele - recently dropped, just like his game

    It's a Yahoo league, but I'm not too worried about positions as I have Sharp and O'Reilly that I can switch around. That being said, a RW and a LW would be best.

    Cats are: G A P +/- PPP SOG Hits

    Thanks!

    Thanks! I'm surprised there's no love for Scheifele. He had a great first month but has really slowed in November. Any jets fans out there know which is more likely for the ROS?

    Arizona is literally 15th in GF this season. I'm not sure you can call them a low scoring team, and Boedker is LW/RW eligible on Yahoo. Dude is always underrated, 60 point player.

    Zib, Bennett, or Simmonds would be my second choice.

    I don't really think you can call a guy who has hit 50 points once in his career a "60 point player".

    I can do whatever I like actually. He has the talent, and finally has the team support.

    Excellent justification...

    You said he is always an underrated 60 point player. He has never been a 60 point player.
    I can say that Luca Sbisa is the greatest player in the world.
    Just because you can say something doesn't mean you're not wrong...

    I said he's underrated. Period.

    And then I said he's a 60 point player. Period.

    And if we only projected players to score the same number of points that they have previously scored in their careers, boy would we miss out on a lot of breakouts, and most likely we would LOSE at fantasy hockey a lot. Fortunately some of us can project past historical performance. Boedker is currently on pace for 59 points with perfectly reasonable metrics (IE he's not getting "lucky"). If we want to be dicks about it, fine that's not actually 60 points, but close enough for me.
