Drop Goligoski for Hamilton?

[winger55]

I get assists, 2 pts for goals, no +/-

For just this year, do I stick with Goli for now or grab Hamilton?

Goli is streaky and slow starter....Hamilton up-and-comer....
I also saw that Goli may be off the power play now...will that stick?

thoughts anyone? thanks!

Goli's removal from the PP is disconcerting -- Daley seems to be running the show for now.
Goli has traditionally been a second half guy, but I think Hamilton is solid too. I think it's a fair move -- can't deal Goli?
How many moves do you get? It sounds like you can afford to make this move and swap back later if Goli heats up.

Faulk is out there as an option as well.

This is not a major move, so I wouldn't overthink it too much. If you don't have a limit on moves, you might as well go for it. I don't think it will make much difference to your team in the long run no matter what you do.

For the moment, Hamilton is certainly the better option. With Chara out, he is getting some primo minutes/opportunities. Not sure that will last when Chara returns, but you might as well enjoy it while you can.

Conversely, I could see Goligoski's situation improve if the team continues to struggle offensively. Dallas started the season on fire, but they haven't scored much lately, so it wouldn't entirely surprise me to see Goligoski get a shot at the PP again.

First 8 games for Dallas - 28 goals
Last 7 games for Dallas - 14 goals

Before last night, Dallas had lost 7 straight games. I could see a shake-up happening soon, especially if they lose to LA tonight. I think their preference would be to make a deal. I have the feeling that moving Gonchar was a small move to free up a roster spot on defense for a player they plan to acquire. I've heard rumors of Tyler Myers, but failing that, I could also see them go after someone like Keith Yandle. If they can't make a deal, I have a hunch that they give Goligoski a chance to run the PP for a bit.
