    Default Should I grab Benn?!

    Hey guys,

    Jamie Benn was dropped and has made it to FA... I'm unfortunately out of transactions, but will be restocked come Monday. If he's still there would you suggest I grab him and if so who would you drop?


    Thanks in advance!

    He's worth grabbing in your setup. Might not be what he used to be but Dallas is off to a dismal start and it will improve.

    My math might be off but I count 17 roster spots and 17 players in your signature including big buff on IR. If dropping buff is an option that's what I'd do.
    Set roster weekly in H2H (Mon to Sun) - 16 Teams - start 6F, 3D, and 1G per week - Keep 2

    Points: 2 G / 2 A / 1 PPG / 1 PPA / 1 Hat Trick / 1 SHG / 1 SHA / 1 GWG - 3 Goalie Win / 2 Goalie Loss in SO or OT / 5 goalie SO

    Forwards:
    C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund

    Defense:
    B. Burns, J. Klingberg, R. Josi, J. Slavin

    Goalie:
    J. Binnington

    IR (2 max):

    Yeah I'm unsure if this is an empty roster spot or if you're replacing someone. If it's an empty roster spot then it's a no brainer. In a 12-team league Benn should not be available. If it's a replacement then maybe one of your D. Your categories don't give a huge advantage to D players. Maybe Suter as Minnesota aren't looking great. You'd still have 4 D men and Benn would be comparable in hits plus more offensive upside...

    I have 16 players + Buf on my IR... Dropping Buf wouldn't open up a slot as I'm limited to 16 so I'd have to drop someone else...

    OK your signature shows an allowance for 17 (2+2+2+4+3+4).

    In a league where you lock in weekly you are pretty loaded on the wing. I'd consider trying to push for a two for one upgrade trade if possible.

    If timing won't allow it I think I'm dumping a d man if he's still available Monday: between your bottom 3 of Suter, shatt, and Provo. They will get the least amount of points in your setup and you have some level of insurance if buff comes back.

    I would grab Benn and would drop one of your defense or Olofsson since he was just dropped from PP1.
    In a 10 league where we start 3C, 3LW, 3RW, 4D and 2 G daily. It is a H2H league - we keep 3 players (1 G max), are allowed a max of 2 keeps for each player. The number in brackets is the number of keeps I have left:

    G, A, +/-, PIMs, PPG, PPA and Shots.
    C - Larkin, Couturier, Kopitar, Cirelli
    LW - OV, Panarin (1), Schenn (C), Ehlers (RW), Kreider
    RW - Kucherov (0), Seguin (C), Palmieri, Voracek, Yamamoto
    D - Yandle, DeAngelo

    W, GAA, SV% and Saves.
    G - Rask, Varlamov, Hart, Mrazek
    IR+ - Tarasenko
