Guentzel is a given with those 4 games, and after that go with your gut. If it was me I'd go with Hoffman.
Made it to the semi-finals against one of my top rivals. His team is pretty overly beefed up on hits/PIM, so will likely punt those categories and focus on others to try to push thru to finals hopefully
For centers, I'm playing Stepan/Couture/Carter as the first two have 4 games and Carter has been my most consistent centre
For wingers, I'm playing Kreider/Kessel/Ehlers/Pastrnak as each have 4 games as well...it's last two spots I'm having trouble with as deciding between
- Guentzel (4 games)
- Arvidsson (3 games)
- Hoffman (3 games)
Unless I use Guentzel's centre eligibility instead of Stepan but want to maximize games

If you have other suggestions such as benching another winger, open to it depending on reasons too

I would actually consider sitting Stepan and going with the three you listed.
Stepan is definitely the fourth on the list in terms of expected production per game, and his games are two sets of back to backs. So really it's close to having 3.5 games of Stepan vs 3 games of Arvie or Hoffman.

Interesting, that was one option I was considering...as saw Stepan had two "freakish" games of 6 SOG and 10 SOG, then duds of 1 and 0 in btw so glad I'm not losing my mind thinking that should be an option
Arvidsson/Hoffman have been on fire and it's been tough bc basically one less game and trying to maximize man advantage against other guy just in case
Thanks Eskimo! Will definitely consider it

First, congrats for advancing to the semis My dilemma is between starting Arvidsson and Guentzel - sitting Hoffman OR
starting the 3 and sitting Stepan. So I was about to go with the second one but I just saw the schedules and Stepan has easier opponents than Hoffman + he's playing 1 more game.
Devils & Predators fan
Stepan has to take a seat IMO - it's a little rough but the others feel better options right now even with the percieved easier schedule and an extra game
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Have to maximize your games--go with the players that get you as many games as possible. Players can't score you points if you cant get them into the lineup.
Without knowing how your team shakes out, Guentzel and Arvidsson would be my first two choices. Both playing extremely well and both have good schedules (Guentzel with 4 this week, Arvidsson with 5 next).
