Last Ditch - FTW

[Otto2000]

I'm in 3rd place, only 9 points out of 1st... and 9 points up on 4th place. Top 3 finish in the money.

Weighing any possible upgrade that might help me for the win.

Voracek only has 3pts in his last 9, same with Carlson and Parakyo. Kreider's been slowing down. Can only swap a D for a D or F for an F.

Available F are Arvidsson, Marleau, Vrbata, Frolik, Rakell, Tkachuk, Bailey, Palat, Craig Smith, Okposo, Pominville.
No good D available really, Chara, Provorov, Del Zotto, Zaitsev.

Only one move left, might be best still holding on to it to make sure I have no games lost if there's an injury even down to the wire, as I have no bench/IR. (Not in playoffs right now)

Any clear upgrades you can see? Would you make any adjustments?

Thanks for another great year of input all!

Arvidsson should be added, and probably Palat given how hot he is. I'd swap them in for two of Kreider, Stepan or ROR.

I agree with swapping them in for Kreider and Stepan.

I would swap Arvidsson with Kreider or Stepan.

Thanks guys
Only have the ONE move left. Drop Kreider or Stepan? Stepan was deadly quiet but now has posted a few points and it's Kreider who's gone cold.
They're on the same line and PP1. Perhaps a wash? (Just checked - Kreider actually has 1 point in his last 6 games while Stepan now has 4 pts in 4 games. Should probably ditch Chris.)

[RizzeeDizzee]

If you can only ditch one guy, it should be Kreider. In terms of deciding between Arvidsson and Palat, I think both are equally viable so maybe go with the guy with the more favorable schedule based on home/away and quality of opponent.

Wow, didn't realize Palat was THAT hot... After what seems like a pretty down year.
Thought Viktor was the easy add, now I'm not as sure. TB also has 7 games left to NSH's 6.

Yup - just like last season Palat is finishing very, very strong.

keep the warm player - Kreider. Drop the cold - Stepan for Arvi

[bobbyorr69]

I would also add 1) Palat and then 2) Viktor and drop Kreider.

Palat has been playing very well with Kuch

I can only make ONE move.
(And Kreider is actually the colder one now.)

So it's still between EITHER of Palat or Arvidsson for me.
CAN'T DO BOTH...

If you can only add one... Arvidsson.

Reason being.... Stamkos might be coming back and who knows what kind of effect it will have on lines or the Tampa play... but I would not take the risk.
