    Default At Risk of Missing Playoffs - Drop Gibson for Greiss & Ristolainen for Theodore?

    This is for the first league in my sig.

    I currently need 1 win to make it into playoffs. I play the #2 seed this week, and the #5 seed next week. I am the #6 seed. I could also back into the playoffs if the #7 seed loses any of their next two matchups (vs #10 and #1 seed). My team has been pretty disappointing this season, although I've had some bad injury luck (and Laine). I figured things would correct themselves over the course of the season, but playoffs are approaching and I feel as if I need to make a move.

    Gibson and Ristolainen are both injured at the moment. Even though Risto's prognosis looks a little better, he's not on PP1 at the moment and we don't count hits in this league.

    FA forwards are a little more scarce, but Mantha and Pacioretty are options if anyone feels like that is the better path to go (I'd be willing to swap Nylander)

    Goal heavy league I would be open to dropping Patches for Nylander. Just beware his lighter H2H schedule.

    Risto I still like over Theodore, and he's a game time decision tonight, so shouldn't be out long if at all.

    Gibson for Greiss I could see making, but I would prefer an actual starter, and not a timeshare guy.

    Thank you! I overlooked Anders Lee, I think I will be dropping Nylander for him.

    As far as full time goalies are concerned: McElhinney/Mrazek and Smith are available as substitutes as well

    I'd do Gibson for Greiss easily. Gibson doesn't help you make the playoffs. None of the other options are notably better, unless somebody racks up saves and I am not realizing it.

    I think I'd hold Ristolainen, he played tonight.
