Two moves left; make it or break it semifinals. What do I do?
This week has been crazy tight for the league and team in my sig. I started off with a decent lead but I'm now losing 7 - 6. I've got 2 moves left and the OGM has none so I'm trying to figure out what to do to try and win (or tie since I'd win if we tie). I'll try to give you as much info as possible to see if you can help me out!
The current stats are:
Me: 21 G, 23 A, +1, 19 PIM, 8 PPP, 152 SOG, 129 FW, 71 HIT, 52 BLK, 3 W, 2.42 GAA, .913 SV%, 1 SHO
OGM: 12 G, 22 A, +20, 24 PIM, 11 PPP, 118 SOG, 188 FW, 64 HIT, 43 BLK, 4 W, 2.25 GAA, .921 SV%, 0 SHO
As you can see, the close categories are: Assists, Hits, BLKS, W, GAA, and SV%, with maybe PIM in there.
OGM has more skaters (and probably of better caliber) playing today than I currently do:

Now here's what I'm thinking...
If I Gibson is playing, I can pick up Schneider and guarantee a win, bringing that category down to a tie... but that doesn't guarantee me any improvements in SV% or GAA. There are other goalies I can pick up if I want to to target G categories but I don't know who will be playing yet. Some names still available in addition to Schneider:Varlamov, Subban, Montoya, Budaj, Gibson (NYI), Mrazek, Forsberg, Hutton
Alternatively, I can try and chase some of the skater categories (with 2 extra skaters instead of 1). Realistically, I'd need to hold my ground in Assists, Hits, and Blocks...but it might be possible to catch up in PIM or PPP but let's not bank on that... So, possible skaters I could pick up are: Gudas, RNH, T. Johnson, E. Lindholm, J. Williams, Soderberg, Jost, S. Johns, Nyquist, Glendening, Hischier, Coleman, Noesen, Boyle, Montour, Pulock, Nelson, Boychuk, R. Johnston, Steen, Niskanen, Orlov, Orpik, Enstrom, Connor, Perreault, Hayden,
Roussel, Caggiula, Myers, Abdelkader, B. Tanev...
With all that said (I know it's a lot), what do you think would be the right call here?
