Would you drop one of those for Rakell or Nielsen

For the league in my sig (points only)

Would you drop Vrbata, Hornqvist, Drouin or Iginla for one of Rakell or Nielsen

[BealestreetTyrant]

You best tune into the ANA vs TBL game tomorrow. Drouin could return.

That's tough.
If Drouin plays top line, I keep him. And by that I mean top 2 lines. You have to think that a healthy Drouin a healthy Palat in the new year really help Tampa.
Hornqvist has now been bumped to line 3 - which doesn't do a lot of good for him. Liekly not permanent though...
Iginla hasn't played great the past week or so but does have 16 pts thus far - and he's been dropped to the third line but still 1st PP.
Vrbata is on a bum of a second line in VAN but he shoots a lot has been typically good for 50 pts - but no 1st PP
Rakell is a young and talented winger that seems to be sticking on ANA's first line but they have trouble consistently scoring (Tides seem to be changing for Perry)
Neilson's has a nice second line spot but no PP time.

I'd probably play wait and see a few more games. If you really want to make a move, or have lots of them, try out Rakell for a bit (for Vrbata).

That's a tough call but with Hornqvist being dropped for 3rd line (for now), plus uncertainty of the pens powerplay, may be something to keep an eye on

For Frans Nielsen and Rackell, they can both run hot and cold that's the issue but of those, Hornqvist would be the most "droppable" but he can also go lights out too quickly, so keep eye for a little bit since there's not as much of an upgrade on the upside portion

I actually just picked up Nielsen for the reason that he plays in all three situations. 2nd line, SH, and #1 PP on the point.
And yes he is streaky.
I like Nielsen of the two.

If dropping one, I'd have to look at Vrbata or Iginla. PIT has to turn around the offense.

You're right! My line up source was out of date - he's on the 1st PP. Good catch!
