I'd stick it out with ghostisbehere longer if the best option on the wire is vatanen
Is it the end of Ghostbear as a potential high end fantasy producer? He wasnt great last year and this year he's been ice cold. The philly pp has been underwhelming the last few seasons so his grip on pp1 is losening. If he moves off the top pp he's dead in fantasy imo. Vatanen was moved to new jersey's top pp last game and I think New Jersey's offense has to turn it around. Ghost is averging 18min/game compared to Vatanen's 22min/game. Vatanen is available on waivers...do I pull the trigger with the switch?

This is not likely the end of Gostisbehere's days a high end fantasy producer, but it could be so. However, there's also this:
Vatanen's last elite year was never.
Vatanen's last good year was never.
Vatanen's last 40 point year was never.
Banking on it being the end for Gostisbehere, and for it to be a sudden beginning for Vatanen is a very, very bad gamble.

You are gonna regret this later. Do not drop Ghost just yet.

Vatanen is a streaming option at best and is currently on NJ’s PP1, but I would not drop Ghost for him just yet.

Keep Ghost. It's only been a few games, don't overreact.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
I'm very bearish on Ghost, but Vatanen is not incentive enough to drop him. Keep an eye on Devon Toews though - I might swap him in for Ghost as from the end of last season into the beginning of 2019-20 Toews looks to be gaining more and more favor with the Islanders brass and, with that, better and better deployment. And the points are coming.
