    Default Klingberg vs Heiskanen: Early Season Deployment

    I was watching the Dallas game the other day and noticed that the Stars are using some interesting power play lines.

    The first unit, based on PP ice time (54%), was: Benn, Faksa, Dowling, Klingberg, and Lindell.

    The second unit, which based on talent is actually the better unit, was: Radulov, Pavelski, Seguin, Hintz, and Heiskanen.

    As a Heiskanen owner, I'm really excited about this. I don't necessarily think this will continue, because Klingberg is clearly the better offensive dman, but I will enjoy this deployment while it lasts.
    12 team, H2H, salary cap
    1 pt/G or A, 2 pts/W, 1 pt/OTL, 1 pt/SO

    Forward: B. Point, M. Necas, A. Debrincat, T. Zegras, J. Bratt, L. Raymond
    Defense: J. Morrissey, A. DeAngelo, S. Gostisbehere, D. Doughty
    Goalie: T. Demko, E. Merzlikins
    Bench: M. Rossi, C. Glass, M. Maccelli, M. Dumba, K. Shattenkirk, F. Andersen
    Prospects of Note: L. Stankoven, J. Lekkerimaki, D. Yurov, B. Clarke

    League has been running continuously since 1997-98

    Lindell on a power play is not good. They are trying to run 2 evenish units, but they really need to move Lindell off and figure out something better.

    Dallas is a mess right now. Don't make a decision based on just a game or 3.

    nope, not making any decisions. I own Heiskanen and that's not changing. I was just happy to see him being given an opportunity on the PP. He's producing points at an awesome rate to start the year, but I think most (if not all) have been at even strength. Once the PP gets going, look out!

    Someone dropped Klingberg for Edler in my league last night... gulp. I jumped right on that. Hoping with Dallas' win last night, they start to right the ship.

    Too bad for them. Edler is off the first unit and i think its for good.
