Pickups for the week
I'm in my semis (had a bye the first round), and I'm facing a decently tough opponent. He's got McDavid and Pastrnak on his team. Luckily McDavid's ridiculous 3G 1A night was mostly offset by Evander Kane's 1G 3A night, and I'm up on him 9 points to 5. Obviously I need this week, and I'm looking to maximize my offensive stats. My goaltending is (I believe) solid, although I think I have to bench Lankinen against Tampa. I have 3 wire moves for the week, and I think the first move is going to have to be Mike Reilly for one of the following:
Josh Norris - Been a beast lately and boosts my faceoffs, but barely shoots
Ryan Nugent Hopkins - High ceiling, powerplay time, might offset opponent's McDavid points, if on the PP, but doesn't shoot a ton and questionably reliable.
Nick Bonino - Great PP production recently, lots of points, some faceoffs, but low ice time and low shots, meaning questionable reliability
Mike Hoffman - Tons of points and PPP recently, OK shots, but no faceoffs and super low minutes
Andre Burakovsky - great deployment, huge minutes, top line, tons of PPP recently, but is dependent on team continuing like this and might be bumped on Rantanen's return.
My roster is pretty fixed, only that one spot really has any wiggle room. Whoever I pick up is probably going to be dropped on Saturday night to pick up Vrana or Saros (depending on how everything looks, Vrana if things are tight and I need the sunday start, or Saros just to avoid my opponent grabbing him and having to play him next week). Who would you guys go with?
