Put ‘em on IR if you can or bench them if you can’t. Wait for their return. I haven’t seen anyone dropped but I’m sure it’s happening. Same thing with any injury or suspension situation. Do what you can.
Hi gang,
Not sure if this is the right place / thred to bring this up, but just curious to understand how each of the Dobber NHL Leagues for the 2021 Regular season (Entry, Pro, Expert, RHRS, etc.) are handling the Dallas players, in particular.
With the team contracting Covid, their games getting postponed and with hardly any opportunity / room of empty days within the season, for them to catch up, how do you all propose we handle this situation?
I have 3 Dallas players (Benn, Radulov, Pavelski) in 1 of my teams, and wondering if I should just stuff them in IR, and pick up others to cover for them, till such time that they are symptom free and allowed to play?
Thoughts?
As a side note - did anyone see Markstrom make "the save of the season" on Scheifele yesterday? I love that Jets finally won the game, but that save was something else - think "nightlight robbery"! Scheifele had a bewildered expression for a few seconds after.
Cheers

It’s not going to be a big headache with the Roto leagues other than the makeup games may end up being on a more crowded night. That could make it tougher to get them into your lineup. But that’s just one of the things we will likely be dealing with all season.
I find it way harder in my H2H league because those lack of stats could be the difference in those matchups
Thanks guys - my thinking was round the same lines as you guys

A number of them are on IR - Heiskanen, Lindell - I believe those are Covid. You’ll also note I said “or bench them”. Depends on the player. In my Yahoo league we agreed to add and NA slot this year for just this situation. Try to give GMs some flexibility this year. It’s going to test people’s GM abilities. “Do some of that pilot shit, Mav!!!”
