So I'm heavy on goalies but I really don't know who to trust among the Edmonton and Vancouver netminders. My D is good. My F lack true elites. I'm currently in last place!!! But I can protect a lot due to injuries to Pastrnak, Schmaltz, Klingberg, and a slow season from Hellebuyck.
Protecting more players means you lose later rounds, not earlier rounds.
