Hi everyone,
I'm in the semi finals of one of my cap leagues but was plagued with injuries. Needless to say, I'm short several players and don't have enough moves. I have 2 moves left. Was thinking about saving them to see how the week unfolds. If I'm close, I'll pickup players to battle it out but if I'm getting destroyed then I plan on picking up some prospects. Which ones would you rather have?
Jost, A. Nylander, Glass, Steel, Tippett, Sanheim, Heiskanen
G, A, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLKS, Takeaways, FOW
Thanks!

Yea I think Heiskanen is a for sure and probably Glass- but Im a huge Tippett fan. I had the opportunity to take Glass or Tippett and I took Tippett. That was before the season though- Tippetts trade lustre has certainly tarnished but Im not convinced his season was as bad as it appears n first blush (WJC snib). He actually settled in and had really productive year with Missisauga. Hes got 75 already which is what he had over a full season last year and 275 sogs in 51 games is nothing short of "ear muffs on an elephant" ridiculous.
So yea I think "conventional wisdom" is probably Heiskanen and Glass- but like I said I put my money where my motuh was when I had the chance and I "reached" for Tippett- lol :P
Heiskanen is a solid choice and I'd take Tippett as well since your league has shots as a category.
Heiskanen and Glass for me...

Thanks for the responses. Unfortunately I'm unable to pick them up because there was a stat correction which booted me from the Semi's haha And players not in the playoffs are unable to make moves.... blasted!

Tippet and Glass. Shots is a bonus here. Frankly it's hard investing in defenseman. The short term gains tend to be very low and more times than not, you won't stick with them long enough to reap rewards.
