[HELP] I'm in last!

[dooley89]

Yikes, I knew this year would be tough due to my schedule and other stuff going on but not sure I can even blame this on that at this point!
7 Team H2H league on Yahoo, I've won for the past 4 years.
G, A, +/-, SOG, PPP, PIM, HIT
W, GAA, SV%, SO

C: Couture, Mackinnon, Anisimov
LW: Benn, Grabner, Foligno
RW: Simmonds, Pastrnak, Backes
D: Burns, Carlson, Fowler, Shattenkirk, Krug
G: Gibson, Anderson, Talbot
IR: Stamkos, Quick

I am getting roasted every week! With only 7 teams there are a ton of FA's available, here are the top couple by position.
C: Kadri, Carter, Wennberg, Matthews
LW: Roussel, Killorn, JVR, Maroon, Kreider, Ehlers
RW: Shaw, Eaves, Coyle, Hayes, Gallagher, Zuc, Perron, Nylander
D: Martinez, Petry, Emelin, Pietrangelo, Green, Vatanen
G: Andersen, Luongo, Johnson, Fleury, Niemi, Mrazek, Hellebuyck

Need a bit of direction here, dying in this league!

[Eskimo Brother]

Matthews is a FA for you?
I would grab him or Kardi for Anisimov.
On LW, Kreider before someone else realizes he's a beast in your setup and is healthy again. Maybe drop Grabner for him? Tough call.
RW you're solid if unspectacular.
D you just need a couple guys to get going *cough*Carlson*cough*
Wonder if dropping Krug for Helle would make any sense?
Those injuries are a brutal loss too!

[Bass56]

Matthews over Anisimov
JVR over Grabner, and keep an eye out for Kreider over JVR after
Martinez over Krug
Luongo over Talbot or Gibson (I would keep Talbot here but I can see his numbers go down whereas Gibson's could go up, but either way, Lou is a better pick in a 1-year IMO)

[LuigiC173]

Carter over Anisimov
JVR/Kreider over Grabner
Coyle over Backes

Thanks fellas, I'm gonna make some changes and try and get out of this rut!

[pmorrow]

Matthews and maybe Carter are guys you should look at at C. JVR or Kreider over Grabner. Which categories are you losing in? Hard to tell just from your roster because h2h can be unpredictable.

[Sulla]

Carter/Wennberg over Anisimov (Matthews is doing what we all expected - good spells and bad spells but will be around 55 points)

Grabner amd Foligno for two of Kreider, Ehlers, JVR

Anderson is away from the team so if I can't stash him on IR is a bit more difficult but I'd add Andersen (his stats he last six weeks are tasty) or Helly (started 17 of 19 ish)

[The Bottlenecker]

It has already been said, but there is no doubt in my mind that Grabner is overachieving right now and that Kreider is the better option overall (as long as he is healthy).

Your goalies are unspectacular, and I'm worried about Anderson and his personal dilemma with his wife's cancer. Hard call though as he has played well for a bubble team when in the lineup.

[LakeSoup]

You should not be rostering Anisimov over Carter or Wennberg.

Grabner's hot streak is over. He's done. You should've dropped him ASAP, Kreider is literally on the same team as him and gets more TOI in every way possible. So you should've made the switch instantly when Grabner wasn't producing for like, 2 games. JVR is a really good pick up here though, I'm surprised he's even available. I know I talked about Kreider but that was mainly to illustrate how you should have been more active with managing how your players were doing. It's fine to stream hot players but when they start sucking like they perennially always have been (re: that's why you were able to pick them up for free on the wire), you need to realise that. JVR overall is my favorite choice here.

Stay on RW, D, and G.
