Playoffs a whole new monster

[TheRookie]

My team is in sig below. I'm needed to maximize games played. I have two moves left. There's a few teams who play back2baxk today and tomorrow and same as Friday Saturday. I need to try and take advantage of that. Who would you drop? I'm thinking Schneider is going to be one to pick up Austin Watson or Fiala for tonight and tomorrow since I may only get to play him once. Or maybe not at all if he sits Saturday. My other two goalies both play Sunday. Need some help, greatly appreciated, rep given. Hornqvist only plays today then off for 3. Should I drop him and play Voracek today? Or play Hornqvist. So many decisions.

A couple things:
1. Make sure the guys you are adding will actually get into your lineup. For example, Saturday is the busiest day of the week, if your lineup is full then adding a player who plays Saturday does not get you an extra game.
2. What are your goalie matchup scores? Schneider will likely get one game of the back-to-back, will he get into your lineup and is that more valuable than a skater? If you are dropping a goalie I agree Schneider is the easy choice.
3. Dropping Schneider to get 4 man games would be smart.

1. I plan to add Watson who will play both today and tomorrow in a spot. Because he's c,LW, RW I'm able to manage that. I have a few slots open Saturday so whichever player that plays back to back will have a spot Bob Saturday and Sunday.

2. So Schnieder players Saturday or Sunday. Both helly and Gibson both play Sunday. If Devils happen to play their back up over Schindler on Saturday and play him Sunday then I would've held onto him for possibly no reason cause I'd be playing my other two goalies over him no doubt.

3. Yeah exactly my thoughts. I take the risk keep him and play him for a game IF he is in Saturday. but I also have Hornqvist who plays today but won't be able to slot in a RW position today unless I play him over voracek or Laine , then he's off the rest of the week. So which one goes.

4. Thanks a million for the quick response. It's very much appreciated

Well thought out. I like your plan.

For what it's worth I expect the Hynes to give Schneider the start Saturday when the team will be fresh, and send Kinkaid back out Sunday since he's been playing much better. I could he wrong, but with the Devils clinging to their wildcard spot I think that's the smart move (as was starting Kinkaid in Vegas last night).
