Keep Puljujarvi or drop on waivers? (Keeper with no Yahoo NA spot)

[spacecowboy]

I think my teen fetish bit me in the butt this year

I drafted Reinhart in the 2nd round (ewww) and Jesse Puljujarvi at the end of round 3. Since we only keep 10, should I hold to Jesse P until game 9 to see what they do with Yamamoto? No one is tanking yet and we don't have a NA (Not Available) spot in our league.

My thinking is with Draisaitl's injury and Yamamoto's imminent sent down, will Jesse P get called up?

*First 10 rounds are keepers and not the real draft order*

First off that is a sick team, luck disgustingly good.

It's a keep 10 and given your 10 Puljujarvi is not going to be a keeper for you going forward, even if he has what would be a great season for him. That being said holding or dropping Pulji becomes a 1-year question IMO. If there are decent players on the waiver wire I'd drop Pulji for someone playing in the NHL right now who can help you. Even if Pulji gets called up I'm not sure he'll be fantasy breakout this season.

Thanks man. I got McD and Eichel in the original keeper draft and tanked to get Matthews and Laine thereafter.
My philosophy, which builds great teams but sometimes isn't great for win now mode, is to always swing for the fences and take high upside. At season's end I will trade my surplus (or some current keepers) for draft picks in order to make room.
With that said, I might drop Puljujarvi for a guy like Brodie since I'm missing a 4th D.

You have just your keepers listed in your signature. What does your full roster look like? I'd likely prefer TJ Brodie in a starter's spot over Pulji in the AHL at this point.

My full roster is in my initial post. Here it is again. I only dropped Buchnevich for Killorn since.
