    Question Drop Brock Nelson? (will rep responses!)

    Hey there, I grabbed Nelson in the draft based on his forecasted stats, but I've been severely underwhelmed by him so far, and I'm looking to make a move.

    Note the scoring settings: G = 2, A = 2, +/- = 0.5 (positive or negative, I hate this, and it hurts value for guys on losing teams), and PIM = 0.25

    Here are my FA options to replace Nelson:

    - Jordan Kyrou (RW)
    - Alexandre Texier (LW)
    - Nick Schmaltz (RW)
    - Robert Thomas (RW)
    - Zach Hyman (LW)
    - Dylan Strome (RW)
    - Nolan Patrick
    - Nico Hischier (I can probably afford to wait for him to get healthy)

    Thoughts? I'm leaning towards Kyrou, Thomas, Hyman, or Hischier.

    I'll gladly rep any responses - thanks for your input!

    EDIT: Team 2 in signature.

    In my opinion Brock is the best of this bunch.

    No-one on that list screams 'take a chance on me'.

    I hold Nelson.

    Hischier is the one I'd keep close tabs on. Strome and Thomas as well to a lesser extent.

    But as of right now I would hold Brock.

    Hischier and Strome are worth watching but I'd stick with Nelson for now

    Interesting... even though he's with Bailey and Beauvillier on the PP2, and Trotz rotates things pretty evenly, and the Islanders don't really score that much? If Hischier was on a better plus/minus team I feel like I'd make the move in an instant. I guess I'll be patient for awhile. Thanks for the input!

    No. I hold. He is quite valuable in my leagues as I get FOW from the wing. He has played 5 games. Not enough time to panic yet although for sure with the shortened season I get the need to fix the roster quickly. Strome is the one I would watch in that group.
