Buchnevich, Texier, Stepan or Bjorkstrand- Pick Wun

I included Stepan as a formality I dont think Im dropping him based on my article called the stepanian season. I think he gets Kesseled into primo deployment this year and builds off his usual 55ish pace that we forgot about after the 32 point outlier last year.

I feel like its Buch pretty easily- but Bjorkstrand brings decent sogs. Im not quite what sure I have in Texier at this point- Torts loves him which is baffling and brilliant all in the same breath.

Ok thanks guys. I kept Stepan and I DID grab Buch.

I wresteled with who to drop out of Bjorkstrand and Texier.

My team is competetive on paper but between Malkins injury and two separate lineup gaffes on my end (this league has some ridiculous rules- you actually miss the WHOLE night of scoring if you have an extra reserve player- lol! Like just an extra guy on the bench- haha!)- Im down to start the season. We play two games concurrently each week which is a little different- and it means Im down 0 and 4- lol! So I want the points over upside but that being said I like a little excitement on the bottom of my roster. Ive got Olofsson but Im not counting him as my rookie because I feel like hes a lock for at least 50 and robably closer to a goal heavy 60- lol! That leaves Texier as my last true blue rookie AND as far as I can tell hes still riding shotgin with PLD on the topline.

Team:

F- Malkin, Tavares, Ziba, Forsberg, Evander, Skinner, Meier, Keller, Olofsson
D- Burns, Ghost, Nurse, Faulk
G- Vasy
Bn- Stepan, Texier, Buchnevich, Gibson(g)
