Darling.. Time to Cut Bait??

[Spurgeon]

Is it time?

Darling has been below mediocre the whole season. Bought in this season. Was hoping for solid (nothing spectacular) value. Wondering if things stabilize in 2nd half. But now, you're just hoping for 1 good game every 3-4 starts. Unplayable pretty much.

there's a couple similar threads around here on Darling... make friends with the search engine (still stealing it??) it really depends on what your G's look like and what you can replace him with

[hockeyrobot]

All depends who else you own here.

All depends who else you own here.

Who else you own and who else is available. And the type of league you are in.

7 goals against this afternoon and they still haven't pulled him. Jesus.

correction... 8

Depends on your league,settinfs,who's available... In my league I dropped him in week 2 or 3 for Hellebuyck. That was 2 or 3 weeks too late.

[Axeman33]

Yes, lucafen, much better.

We'd need more details. Who else do you own? How many G's do you start with the ones you own? Who else is even available?

He's been a disappointment this year for sure.

I'm in the same boat with darling. it really seems like it's time to cut bait. Available on the wire are Dell, markstrom, raanta and that's about it. Is there anyone who would recommend staying patient with darling? are any of the 3 mentioned a def better replacement?

Raanta will give you the starts to replace him... won't help your W's but won't butcher your GAA/SVPCT as much... or Dell - just won't give you volume of starts

Exactly. So would u pull the trigger? And which one?

[lucafen4]

I prefer having starters... so I'd probably go Raanta... alt. option would be drop Zetterberg & add Dell as well.

Zetterberg is a tough drop in a league that counts fow. Fo from the wing are key

Feel your pain brother. Own Darling in both my leagues. I didn't play him in one today. Good thing.

i’m in the same leaky boat and I have had him on my bench for most of the year, more to prevent someone else from picking him up...the risk of that happening is fading fast.
I was fortunate to pick Hank up on the WW, when his previous GM up and dropped him. With two decent starters & Anderson who may come around I am looking to pick up Dell the next time he hits the WW. I have tried to move Darling but not a lot of interest, and by that I mean none.
