Shattenkirk out for surgery. Who to grab in his place?

[Say no to Krugs]

Hey so I need to find a replacement for Shattenkirk while he is out. Torn Meniscus, headed for surgery.

It is a yahoo points leage, h2h weekly, with rosters set daily. G 4, A 2, +/- (-)1, PIM 1, PPP 0.5, SOG 0.5, BLK 0.5. There is no points for hits. 12 team league, so not super deep, but not shallow either.

Here are some of the top yahoo projected players that are free agents, some of the top ranked players, and some others to chose from. Any suggestions on who I should grab?

Dumba
Ekholm
Lindholm
Vatanen
Klefbom
Montour

Not looking to stream, but best available possibly ROS. Thanks!

I say Ekholm here. If this were before the start of the season I'd say Klefbom easily but man what a down year he is having.

I'm liking Vatanen. He's been getting more comfortable on the NJDs. Also, didnt he have early season shoulder issues? Are they behind him now?

How about Ristolainen? His +/- might be an issue, but he's basically all the Sabers have.

with goals being 4pts... I take Dumba, 9 already. 24pts... outside chance at 40pts and 16-18 goals

I'd also take Dumba. With Ellis returning to Nashville, I'm not sure what impact that could have on Ekholm. (And I'm too lazy to dig deeper into it...)

Thanks for the replies everyone! Much appreciated!

I ended up going with vatanen. He's been great since being moved. Dumba was a very close second. Ekholm made me a bit too nervous, after a really good spree he's quieted down a bit.
