Who to grab..

[jbrid867]

Have a free roster spot and there are a couple guys available. Who would you take? (FAAB: $78/100. Only needed if player is in waivers)

W. Simmonds (FA)
V. Trocheck (W 2/26)
B. Horvat (FA)
J. Anderson (W 2/26)
R. Getzlaf (FA)
J. Voracek (FA)
B. Tkachuk (FA)
N. Hischier (FA)
M. Zuccarello (FA)
B. Coleman (FA)
D. Keith (FA) (Letang is in my IR+ spot after all)

Trocheck is a no brainer right? How much of the FAAB would you use, if any, to guarantee it?

Does your scoring include +/-? FOWs? PIMs? Def points?

[jbrid867]

I've updated my sig

FOW/L yes, PIMS no. I've updated my signature to include the exact scoring numbers

Thanks.

I actually lean towards Vorachek. He's scoring a lot more than Trochek is, with similar name value.

Voracek has definitely been playing better lately, my only reasoning to counter that is that Trocheck might have a chance to crack my keeper list while I don't think Voracek would.

Now that I think about it though, I'm not sure I can really stomach another pure center on the squad. Three is plenty and I'll be damned if I'm cutting Bergeron, Monahan or Petts...

I like Trocheck and Horvat out of the list, but factoring in positional need, I'd go Voraceck or Tkachuk. A dman would be nice, but Keith/Chicago only has 2 games next week, which is into H2H playoffs (at least for me). Maybe a different dman?

[jbrid867]

I ended up getting voracek.. if it were category scoring I'd probably go Tkachuk. Hopefully I don't regret it!

[jbrid867]

So I figured I'd put some available defensemen here just in case, as there are actually a couple worth considering and some... lets call it "Letang insurance"- for the playoffs may be better for me than Voracek getting a spot start or two.

The [entirely too long] list of available Dmen:

R. McDonough
J. Schultz
J. Gardiner [DTD]
J. Morrisey (W 2/28) [O]
D. Keith
T. DeAngelo
M. Green (W 2/28) [Surprisingly no injury designation]
R. Gudas
A. Larsson (He has to be good right? He was traded for MVP Taylor Hall after all! \s)
B. Montour
B. Seabrook
J. Boychuk
R. Hagg
N. Pionk

[jbrid867]

Unrelated, add Anthony Mantha to the mix as he just showed up on waivers

[bpdono12]

I like Schultz the best of those options, but I would probably just hold out with what you have and hope Letang really is just DTD. I wouldn't drop any active forward or goalie on your roster for Schultz in a points league. If Letang goes on IR, you may need to reevaluate for playoffs.
