Making Room for Burns + Any Changes?

[rbahensky]

Hey everyone,

League is H2H, no playoffs, categories are G, A, PPG, GWG, W, SO. I'm currently leading in the standings but want to build up my lead even more and want to avoid any close calls. I definitely have the potential to beat every team, but I don't want luck to play too big a role. My team is down in the sig.

My first concern is Burns. Now that Burns is good to go, I have to free up a spot on my roster to accommodate him. I'm sure there'll be suggestions to get rid of a goalie. However:
1) I'll be facing teams with three strong goalies each in the next 3 weeks and I don't want to risk losing the W category.
2) Quick is still underperforming, and I don't want to worry about his performance screwing me over, so I figure having Fasth could provide some decent support for at least the next week or two.
3) At worst, the fourth goalie eventually provides me with some decent trade value.
So who do I get rid of? I think Kassian is a bit overvalued now that he is no longer with the Sedins. However, if you think that I should hold off on Burns for now and wait until he begins to produce, please let me know.

In terms of available FA: Backes, Suter, Lucic, Del Zotto, Streit, Franzen, Wideman, Vrbata, Steen, Clowe, Saku Koivu, Greene, Purcell, Ennis, Callahan, Frattin, Yakupov, Hodgson, Perron
Any names that stand out?

Regarding putting someone into my IR spot. Kesler?

Finally, any input on changes, trades I could make, etc. Would be appreciated. All in all, my goal in the near future is to upgrade the number of assists I get while maintaining my goals about the same. If I have anybody on my team who is currently overvalued or who could be traded for some more points in the next few weeks, your input is highly appreciated. Thanks all.

Tempting to add and stash Kesler, but I think he's weeks away from being a big asset. One name stands out.. Purcell. The guy will help you. Like you, I am holding on to Fasth mostly so nobody else gets him, or until I trade Fleury. That is probably a decent strategy for you since Burns is not gonna net 5 points/week. I'd hold off on Burns and ride this out a bit.

Looking at your sig - you dont count +/-, SOG, Hits, PIMs etc

In that case, I'd drop Kassian - without him being on the Twins line, he's pretty much useless.

Quite a few forwards to pick from that are tempting, but ride Hodgson while he's hot. He's put up the most goals out of that list I think, and still gets the assists. When he cools off, you can think about Franzen, Callahan, Perron, Yakupov, Backes .... lots to choose from.
