Time to Panic?

[lilgriffey84]

Roto league was sitting pretty with 145.5 points. over the last week 1/2 have lost over 30 points. Im still in second with 112 points. Should i start expoloring trade options? Lineup as follows:

Crosby,Bobby Ryan, Hall, Franzen, Erik Cole, Desharnais, Zajac, Grabner, Ryder, Grabovski, Tarasenko, Nielsen

Doughty, Ekman-Larrson,Bieksa,Diaz, Voynov,

Fleury, Price.

Problem I have been running into is Grabs and Nielsen have been killing me in the plus minus lately same goes for Cole and Desharnais. Neither Line seems to be producing.

Very deep league with 16 teams and 2 goalie slots per team. I been looking around the waiver wire trying to find some people to pick up such as maybe Mason Raymond or Klumenin. But I honestly dont think anyone on my team is worth dropping. Should I panic or Just ride out the Wave and hope to see better days ?

Categories are goals,assist,plus/minus,hits,sog,special teams points,PIM goalie categories are wins, save percentage, goals against and so

I gave up on Tarasenko. He certainly started hot, but his +/- has been abysmal and he's not scoring. His TOI is suffering, and STL tends to spread the points around anyway. I think he's more valuable to the Blues than he is to a fantasy owner. So if you are going to drop someone, I'd make him a candidate. But I'd bet his trade value is really low right now.

I got a deal lined up. I would aquire Kronwall,Sharp,Backstrom,Cammalieri for Tarasenko Grabner Ryder and Diaz. Im thinking of pulling the trigger on it. Would that be wise?

I think you'd be crazy not to take that deal in a 1 year

You'd be insane not to do that deal.

As for panicking too early, it depends. There's a lot of volatility early in the season because everybody is so close in every category. What I like to do is add up the z-scores for every team in every category. But of course, roles change, so if you have guys that got demoted to a checking line, or lost their spot on the PP, or whatever else, you might need to adjust. Don't overreact though. Especially with +/- which is a very fickle stat that I loathe.

Plus minus stat has killed me. I hate that stat so much I was plus 19 and in one day i went negative 10. I am going to pull the trigger on this deal. My problem is fleury and price have been cold lately. Hopefully they can turn it around wich i think they will
