What to do with Oshie/Toews
These two have been killing me all year, I drafted both in reasonable spots this year so luckily I didn't waste a near-top pick on them ... but they are both under-delivering drastically.
I can look at the waiver wire daily and look at lots of options that are statistically regularly outplaying both of them ... but I can't pull myself to outright drop them (and improve my team) because of their "names".
Anytime I've asked in the past the recommendation is always to bundle them in a deal, but no one else wants them either.
Backstrom has been hot/cold all year, so I could bundle one of them with him to upgrade, but not sure what a Backstrom/Oshie or Backstrom/Toews package should yield. Plus in the back of my head, will I regret it.
Any help to make me sleep at night would be appreciated.

Re: What to do with Oshie/Toews
Yeah... I feel your pain man... I only ended up with Towes because we do auction drafts and I was trying to bid him up for a guy who always drafts him... I screwed myself...
Dropped him yesterday, but only because Steen was on my FA list... I should have dropped him sooner. We all know Towes isn't fantasy asset...
Limited Keeper - Keep 5
Auction draft with a budget of $600. Whatever is left becomes your acquisition budget for the season. At the end of the season 50% of your budget is carried over to the next year.

One Year League.. Dump them if you don't think they will turn things around and they aren't producing.. I feel the same way about Pacioretty!!

Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Re: What to do with Oshie/Toews
Toews tends to have a solid second half, but Oshie is dead to me. I'd love to bundle them, Backstrom+1 could get me ... [fill in the blank]??
The wire has Reinhart, Henrique, Backes, Kase, Labanc, DeBrincat, Hagelin
And I'm trying to recover from the Eichel injury.
Thanks all!
