I changed the title to make it clear you're talking about Rantanen and not the goalie Raanta.
Is this for the league in your sig? Who else do you have on the IR that you could drop instead?
This will be everyone's favorite topic this week, so I might as well get it started. He's apparently out "weeks" and with two regular season weeks left in our league plus the playoffs, and since I already have FOUR guys either DTD or IR, I think I need to drop him. I'm short on these scoring cats: PPP, Goals, and Hits. I don't mind rolling only 3 D's (that's what I have now) but adding a D has a little bit of advantage if everything else is equal. So these are the leading candidates on our waiver wire, best for each category. Can you help a brother out and give me some feedback? I'm thinking that I'll take whoever is the clearest winner in one category since I can use any of the three.
Goals:
Kubalik and Towes seem like the best bets. Beauvillier has been hot too. Parise would probably trash my +/-.
Hits:
Dillon, probably the clear choice. Will he get even more TOI with Karlsson on the shelf? Crouse would get me hits and a few extra points along the way, but I might as well roster a D.
PPP:
Schwartz? And how about Nichushkin? Does he get moved up to the #1 PP with Raanta gone? Again, Parise would get me both goals and PPP, but I hate to start losing the +/-.
Last one... how about Toffoli? Does he get a key role in VAN? Worth the pickup?
Thanks guys! Rep given!

Thanks EB. Brain fart. And yes, for the league in my sig. Currently on IR are Kuemper, DeAngelo, Shesterkin and Kane suspended. I just dropped Kassian too. Halak missed some games and Andersen just came off IR. And now Rantanen. My team looks like a MASH unit. But Kuemper, DeAngelo and Shesterkin seem to be coming back soon, right?

Yeah, no easy short term drops. It does seem like the way to go would be to drop him for a healthy player.
Is that J. Toews? Him and Schwartz caught my eye most without looking too far into your needs.

Nichuskin was in fact on PP1 last night and scored a goal, he has been solid for awhile now and worth a stream.
