I stand pat. If you had better options I'd consider making the move but those options are just not good enough, I stick with Giroux and roll with your remaining D. Given your lead, it's a pretty good bet you can survive the loss of EK.
Points Only - Extremely shallow league (4 teams)
G - 2 pts
A - 1 pt
PPP - 1 pt
Currently in first place and have a 152 point lead on second place, so this isn't exactly crucial but still looking for some feedback from my Dobber fellow.
I just lost Erik Karlsson for the season and am wondering what the best play is to fill his replacement.
Maximum moves for the season is 25 and I have only used 7 so far. I am thinking of streaming in players on a per week basis that have the off-night schedule the rest of the way (I have already added Barzal for next week's NYI schedule).
Giroux is currently my weakest link at 72 pts on the season.
With the Karlsson injury I am currently rolling with 4 D rather than my usual 5 - with one being on the bench normally.
I am considering adding one of the following - Nelson (72 pts), Lee (54 pts), Pulock (43 pts) or D Toews (32 pts).
Taking into account my current roster, next week's NHL schedule and today's games it would work out to be....
Giroux - 3 man games
Nelson/Lee - 4 man games
Puluck/Toews - 5 man games
So my question is this: Do I drop Giroux for an extra man game for one of Nelson or Lee? Do I add a D-man in Pulock or Toews since I just lost one and get 5 man games until the end of next week? Or stand pat with Giroux?
I don't need to stream considering my lead but if I have the moves available I may as well use them. Or should I hold off a few more weeks on starting my streaming plan in case of injuries hitting my team?
Holding off on streaming seems like the responsible plan but it is also the boring one. I can afford to make 2.5 moves the rest of the season.
Will REP where I can.

That’s pretty much what I’ve decided on. But these options were only to get me through to next week. There are better D options available other than Pulock and Toews. Not great options but a bit more appealing than NYI players..... Suter, Chabot, Provorov, Sergachev, Petry, Fox, Doughty, OEL to name a few.
Pulock would be my add for now of the NYI bunch. He has been good of late, fills your need for a D, and they have a lot of games to close out the year. This is if you have an open spot though, I wouldn't drop Giroux for him.

(No I don't have a hockey problem...)
I’m going to ride with what I have now (4 D, Giroux and Barzal) and then dump Barzal at the end of next week for the best player available with the fantasy friendly schedule.
Thanks guys.
What are your roster requirements - specifically can you stream players in/out daily from your roster, or is it weekly locks?
Want a Signature? Go to Settings, and you'll find Edit Signature down the list on the left.
Daily, but limited to 25 on the season. I have 18 moves remaining. Season goes to the final day of the NHL season. The reason I mentioned streaming weekly is just because it’s much easier to use the sites that provide weekly NHL schedules rather than figure it out mid-week on my own.
I'd stick with Giroux here. Save your moves, and save yourself the hassle.
