Need goals & shots : Keller, Nash available

[kings89]

Keep 3, team and scoring in signature

With the help from these Forums, I have moved from last to 3rd. And have learned lots in my 1st year with roto scoring having only played basic points leagues previously.

I'm last in shots and goals. Keller and Nash are available.
Should I target someone like Hall, Skinner, Voracek, Kadri, Mackinnon, E.Kane, Patches ?
Who should I look to move out ?

Im also tied for last in ppp and near the bottom in pims.

Any help is is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

I'd drop Panik for Keller here.

Personally, in a 10F/4D league with 4 bench... if there isn't a GP-max, I'd run a bare minimum of D and roster more F.

Take Will Butcher, for example.
Yes - he's a pretty smart passing D-men, he'll get you A & PPP... but that's TWO categories. TWO
He's got 4 hits, 7 blocks, and ONLY 5 sog in his 7gp.
I mean... what does he give you if he is NOT getting assists?
I don't bother with these light-weight D-men. It sets up a whole system of "doing it wrong in multi-cat", IMO.

Personally, when you roster a Komarov for Hits/PIM... that's something you should do with a defensemen... and get some BLK from that D-man while you are at it.

IMO, I cut guys like Komarov/Butcher.
Plug a grinder into your D-group and a high-SOG guy (either Nash or Keller) into your forwards.
Or, if there isn't a GP max. Drop both Komarov & Butcher and roster both Nash & Keller.

But... if you need some PIM... watch the FLA/PIT game tonight.
If Micheal Haley doesn't fight Reaves tonight... he'll be fighting Tom Wilson tomorrow.
There's some free PIM/HIT for ya. Then you can drop him after the game for your SOG guys!

Awesome advice Pengwin7
we do have a go limit of 82 for each roster spot.

I hear what you’re saying about Butcher and Komarov. Wouldn’t that be the same for Thornton ? Assists and ppp ?

Oh yes. I don't touch Thornton in multi-cat.
Tell me you don't own him... oh gawd... you do. (Consider dropping him)

Penguin has given you the right advise.

I'd pick up Keller over Nash and grab him quick.

Advice taken. Thanks

I came to the boards today to see what I could find on Nash as he's recently on my wire as well. Keller is owned in my league so your situation doesn't mirror mine. I'd also go Keller over Nash easily in your setup.


The only thing I can find on (very preliminary research with) Nash that could be encouraging is that he has high (34) SOG and a subterranean (2.9) shooting %. I believe those two numbers could point towards a return to the norm? I could be wrong but as I sad came here to see if this could be supported by smarter people than I.

Lastly, Nash is a UFA next year so that could also provide motivation.

***Still I dont see him being an upgrade over Keller.
Good luck buddy

+\- not in your league, then really like Keller.

Regarding Nash, he?s been playing well. The stats just don?t really bear that out yet.

In addition to the high SOG/low shooting percentage that you reference, I?d also note that his shots have largely been high quality ? lots from nice scoring areas, not much from the outside (I saw a shot chart a day or two ago; if I can recall where, I?ll copy or link to it in this thread). Suggests that some bad puck luck plays a sizable role in his lack of point production thus far. If he keeps up the inspired play, I?d fully expect increased production to follow in short order.
