    Default Is Rust finished

    It's been a great season with him so far, but he's cooled considerably, especially since Crosby's return. He had a 3pt game against toronto, and an assist vs washington, but otherwise he's been quiet since the end of January. Is he going to return to form, or should I let go?

    I prefer Rust to those 3 at the moment. Athanasiou could be one to watch considering he's likely getting a shot with McDavid.

    Rust I'll just note will come and go a bit as Malkin goes. Malkin had a 4 game stretch with 1 point. Rust is still on pp1 and with Malkin at 5 on 5 so the conditions are there for production.

    Yeah. Rust has been such an MVP pickup for me, it's really hard to see him slow.

    I still prefer Rust over the names you mentioned. If Rust loses PP #1 or his spot on Malkin's wing, I would then consider swapping him out, but until then I would ride him.

    Rust does this every year, he has a hot spell and then dies off, this season was just extended because of the man games lost to injury in PITT. This is not a gamebreaker player in the slightest, this is a player who needs premier deployment and far more talented linemates to do what he was doing. Welcome back to the norm.

    Yeah I currently own Rust and Toffoli and I would drop Rust before I would drop Toffoli. Both are on PP1 and pretty good 5 on 5 lines...but i feel like Toffoli may carry a bit more value going forward.

    If you're watching the games you're not dropping Rust. Guy is playing really well and Pittsburgh has one of the best fantasy schedules out there! I would drop Olofsson or Meier before Rust. Never drop a player on a good team in March.

    Personally Kubalik, Athanasiou and Toffoli are guys I'd prefer over Rust. Kubalik on pace for over 30 goals as a rookie, Athanasiou playing top 6 in Edmonton and one season removed from 30 goals and over 50 points and Toffoli in my opinion is just better than Rust. I'd drop him but that's me.
    Points only keeper. 12 Teams. No pos requirements. 18 skaters / 3 goalies (2 count for points.) G/A = 1 point each (includes goalies) Goalies = 1.5 for W / 4.5 for SO. Minors - 4 year protection. Prospects added during their draft year only. Undrafted = waivers.
    Skaters: Tolvanen,Jeannot,Drysdale,Benson,Sprong,Fantilli,H .Lindholm,T. Raddysh,K. Miller,Edvinsson,Roslovic,Sharangovich,McBain,Benn ett,Crouse, Luostarinen,Dube,Phillips

    I love Rust and don't think he's going to fall off a cliff, just not keep his pt/gm pace up.

    that said...

    Toffoli has truly found an offensive home in Vancouver. I would make that swap.

    A) I wouldn't be overly worried about Rust. Unlike previous years, there is a long-term PP1 injury (Guentzel), which will keep Rust in that prime position.

    B) Are Kubalik, Toffoli, or AA better options than Rust? I would feel comfortable with Kubalik the most from that list. I think that I would go with Kubalik > Rust/Toffoli (who has the better playoff schedule for you?) > AA.
