    Default What to do about all these injuries? Wait it out?

    My team has been struck by numerous injuries already early in the season. Understandably, I've had the least number of "played games" by players, and thus my stats are probably the worst in the league. Last night, more injuries came about.

    Since we only have 2 IR spots, I'm a little handicapped in this scenario.

    Injuries in my current roster:
    Neiderreiter (Out)
    Karlsson (Out)
    Byfuglien (DTD)
    Jenner (IR)
    Ellis (IR)
    Raanta (DTD)

    What do you think? Should I be patient and just take the loss(es) these weeks or are some of these players droppable?

    I think Buff and Karlsson should come back sooner than later, so I guess I'm mostly wondering about Raanta and Nino.

    In a one year league, drop Ellis.
    The rest are ones that I think you're going to have to wait out, unless you want to cut your losses on Jenner or Nino.

    Who are the best FAs available?

    Inky droppable depending on what is available?

    There's quite a decent lot of FAs since it's only a 10 team league.

    Maybe I'll drop Ellis and Move Nino into IR, leaving me with an open spot on my roster. Who should I pick up?

    Available FAs:
    Hartman
    D. Brown
    Namestnikov
    T. Barrie
    Pominville
    Brassard
    Couturier
    Schmaltz
    Erik Johnson
    Killorn
    E. Lindholm
    Zacha
    Markstrom
    Reimer/Luongo
    Halak/Greiss


    I'm thinking of taking D. Brown. Seems to be clicking with Kopitar and has 2 games left for this week. Safe to drop Ellis for this move?

    If there is no maximum moves then definitely plenty there to swap in and out imo

    With that thick of a waiver wire and 4 moves per week I'd cut bait on everyone but Karlsson/Buff. Goalies are a little thinner so maybe hold Raanta as well.

    As I short term pickup I like Namestnikov. Hartman and D. Brown are also hot right now.
