There are some ‘hot’ options.. what are your thoughts on some early season streaming?
I spent my high draft picks on Murray and Dubnyk, thinking that with 4 out of 10 cats going to G's, I'd dominate. Both guys have sucked butt so far. Glad I picked up Darling as a third. HockeyGeek showed Schenn as a huge player for me, so I drafted him. He has been average so far. ANA scored 6 goals last night and Rakell got ZERO points. Suter has been a disappointment. I dropped Eberle for a D when Buff went DTD - good riddance. Marner is now fourth line. So I'm now getting my butt kicked for the second straight week in a 10 team league with some powerhouse teams and I'm ready to panic.
Any of these guys worth dropping someone for? I don't mind dropping a D and going with only 3 if there's a F worth having. Or should I just ride this out?
Palmieri
Brown
Hartman
Komarov (mostly for hits)
Brassard
Turris
Pominville
Hischier
Keller
Rust
Any thoughts? I'd be grateful for your advice! Thanks.

Experience is the teacher of all things.
Thanks Sulla. I have used 5 of the 40 moves allowed for our season. So I don't mind using a few more for a hot player from time to time. Especially if I land on one who sticks. I had Kuzy as a FA pick-up a few years ago before anyone knew his name, and he lit it up that year. Then Panarin was a FA pickup a few years ago, and Granlund last year. (I won the league each of those years too.) So if I riff this group and find a keeper, that would be great. I didn't draft Point and I'm hoping that maybe he's one of those guys. I had high hopes for Lee and Rakell too - maybe they'll still pan out. At least Lee gets me hits. And I drafted Sheary late in hopes he'd stick with 87 and Eberle in a mid round to go with Tavares, but then dropped them...
But if you have some suggestions, I'm glad to hear them!

So I guess the short question is, do I give up on Zuccarello and Marner, and maybe Suter, and grab some hot players with the hopes that they stay hot? Thinking of Hartman (on top line), Brown and maybe Komarov. Or ride this out? Thoughts?

Generally ride it out, it looks like a good team, and 35 moves is not a lot left for the season.
Zucc would be my drop if I had one, but I wouldn't be rushing into it.

Thanks EB. Yeah, I don't want to panic. But Zucc and Marner are total dogs right now. I put in a waiver claim for Brown but a guy just above me claimed him. I would like to get Brassard or maybe Hartman or Palmieri, or maybe even Sheary, Rust or Pominville - do you think one or more of those guys would be worth dropping Zucc?
One bonus to making a move is that i could first pick up a guy who's on IR right now and then shelf him on IR and still pick up another guy with the open spot - kind of like getting someone for free. Niederreiter, Ellis, Niskanen, Carter, Coyle and Vatenen are all unowned and on IR. It might be worth grabbing one for a rainy day. I can always drop them if one of my guys goes DTD or IR.

Palmieri or Keller would be the guys to grab if you're making a move. I don't believe in the brown resurgence.
