    Default Thoughts on my team?

    Hey everyone,

    Thoughts on my squad?
    (Yahoo league in my signature. Won 2 years ago, came in 2nd last year.)

    We drafted on the weekend. I'm looking for confirmation on some weak areas.
    Currently wondering if having 3 rookie D is a good idea haha
    Considering dropping Lowry, though I'm liking his hits and FOW. Might swap for Brandon Sutter. I like having RW FOW.
    Considering dropping Fiala for maybe Haapala, Bjork, Bjorkstrand, Vatrano or Meier.
    Swapping Matt Martin (LW) for (RW) Reaves or Tom Wilson


    FORWARDS
    Jack Eichel
    Brandon Dubinsky
    Vadim Shipachyov
    Boone Jenner
    Kevin Hayes

    Nick Foligno

    With Saves and Wins as a goalie cat, maybe a 3rd goalie is a good idea.
    If I can, I run 4-5D, but with blocks/hits, 5-6D is understandable, I would try and get a blocks/hits D-man and use him as your spot start if you need it.

    A lot can change from now till game 1 for teams, but past Eichel and ROR, I’m not overly excited about your forwards, I wish I knew the positions but off the top of my head you have 3-4 Center locked players (Eichel, Duby, ROR, Rask). With a start 2C, you’ll end up benching a center more often than not, so I’d drop a center for something.

    This is a pretty good roster for a 14 team league with those categories. You will need to do a lot of streaming, and offhand I'm not sure whether you have good "off night" guys to pull that off. Your big issue is you don't seem to have enough "steady eddie" guys who'll get you 50-60 points for forwards or 35-40 points for defense. I do think you're weak on defense, and there's concern about Karlsson's injury and Josi's loss of his partner Ellis, whom he was paired with when he posted 27 points in his final 30 games.
