It's a tough decision as I thought the same thing. I dropped him for Hanzal, I figured I needed the points in my h2h league and need to make sure I made the playoffs for a chance at winning a 3rd in a row.
with such a hot start i thought i made a great 9th round pick with Turris. at this point though its hard to even want to put him in my line up and probably wont get anything for him on the trade market. i currently sit 4th in my league and with playoffs coming up soon i want some advice if i should get rid of him or hold on and hope this ankle injury isnt too serious.

If your not in danger of missing the playoffs I would hold on to him. In a 14 team league I can't imagine there being a great option waiting for you. I think he can turn it around probably not like early in the year but at least have a decent finish.
His first few games, they held him to 15 minutes to ease his transition. Last night he played 20, so they are stepping his TOI up including pp. Ottawa has been up and down but he's worth holding onto to see if he can pick it up and give you a nice boost in the process.
