    Default Championship Finals - Who to Start? (REP)

    So this week is the championship finals for my one year league (Categories: Goals, Assists, Points, PIMS, +/-, Shots, STP, Wins, GAA, SV%) and I am trying to sort through who to start. The good news for me is that I finished first in the league so even if I tie 5 to 5 then I get the tiebreaker in the finals. Right now my locks are as follows:

    C - Eichel (4 games)
    C - MacKinnon (3 games)
    LW- Pastrnak (4 games)
    LW - Ovechkin (3 games)
    RW - Granlund (3 games)
    RW - S. Reinhart (4 games)
    U - Barzal (3 games)
    D - Klingberg (3 games)
    D - Carlson (3 games)
    D - M. Reilly (3 games)
    D - Zadorov (3 games)
    G - Vasilevskiy (3 games)
    G - Murray (4 games - assuming he is back)

    This leaves me with two open utility spots for the following players:

    - Craig Smith (4 games), Clayton Keller (4 games), Jonathan Marchessault (3 games), Evgeny Kuznetsov (3 games however not guarantee he will play), Mark Stone (3 games however not guarantee he will play).

    Right now I am actually leaning towards Craig Smith and Clayton Keller as Marchessault has been ice cold lately and there is too much uncertainty around Kuznetsov health for this week but would really appreciate some advice on this.

    Smith is a for sure play!! with 4 games and how much Nashville can score, you got to roll him.

    Is there anyone on waivers you could pick up as another option. Stone is on IR... so I can't see him playing or helping enough.

    If you can't pick someone up... then yeah Keller is your other option.. to much uncertainty to start Kuz or Stone.

    Our FA pick-ups are each Sunday and I actually picked up both C. Smith and Keller as potential replacements for Stone and R. Smith. Thanks for the feedback - in line with my thoughts (really a decision between Marchesseault and Keller for the final spot)

    Any final thoughts on Marchesseault (3 games - Van, SJ, Col) vs. Keller (4 games - Cgy, Buf, Car, Fla) for my last utility spot?

    Hmm kinda tough choice for me but I lean Keller. March has cooled off and you'll get the extra game.

    I'm leaning Keller too. Marchesseault with Riley Smith out of the line up seems lost, like 4 points in the last 10 games lost.
