Dropping D. Sedin - who to add?

[beaverNBFD]

So D. Sedin has been pretty disappointing this year to say the least. Would you guys drop him for Aho, Zucker?

Add Marleau, Marchessault and Hertl. (Can't seem to edit my post)

Either Aho or Zucker. Maybe Aho with the scoring bonus, but the safe play is Zucker due to the +/-

Are these 3 options as well as Aho/Zucker?

If yes - I take Hertl 1st.. he'll give you the best balanced stats... then for me it's Aho. Zucker while doing well has so much competition in Minn for opportunity.

Yes my options does include the 3 in my second post, it wasn't letting me edit my OP. Seems like my top 2 options are Hertl and Aho with Zucker coming 3rd. Aho does seem to have a little consistency problems, Eskimo do you think he'll fix this the rest of the year?

I'm not EB... but I'll chime in regardless... he's a rookie, inconsistency is to be expected. Car. is a young team and there are going to be ebbs and flows for the entire team.

Rookies are the most subjective players to predict performance because there's no previous history to make a judgement from. I think he carries on carrying on. he could improve production slightly or he could fade being a smaller body adjusting to the NHL schedule... impossible to tell for sure. I would take current rate of production and expect that to continue +/- 3pts ROS. That's my hunch

[beaverNBFD]

Very true, thanks for your input. So going off previous years seems like Hertl is about a .50 ppg player while Aho is on pace for about .60 ppg. Seems like an edge to Aho, but with Hertl playing with the Joes I wonder if his production will go up.

[lucafen4]

are you taking into account all your other cats? especially hits. I would also expect hertl to go above his previous .5 pt/gm avg. he's still growing.

if you want straight goals/assists... nothing wrong with Aho over Hertl. (the latter will give you a better fill peripheral cats)

[beaverNBFD]

Alright, so I decided to go with Aho. Although Hertl might get me more peripherals, they don't count for much in my league besides shots. Hopefully Aho finishes off the year strong! Thanks for the help boys.
