Defence upgrade?

[jimslam]

Some decent D-men became available and i'm Thinking about dropping Burns and/or Rielly for the playoffs....are any of these D men upgrades?

I lean towards multi cat players...feel free to rank em! thanks

Klingberg
Petry
Weber
Weegar
Martinez

I've never played with or paid attention to Blocks as a cat, but Klingberg and Dallas have 4 games each week of the playoffs (assuming Week 14-16), and I feel like his offensive talent alone makes him worth an add.

Not sure if you'd want to swap one of Burns or Rielly directly for him (Burns and SJ also have 4 games/week throughout the playoffs).

Random question for you, but is Dahlin owned in your league by chance? He was dropped a few weeks back in my 12-teamer and I am watching him continue putting up points. If he's owned in an 8-teamer then I feel like I should probably go and pull the trigger to add him.

Thanks for the response! Dahlin is owned unfortunately...all the FA defence listed play 4 times in each week (14 and 15)

Any other opinions here?

Weegar and Klingberg are good options and imo.

I would personally look at Kling and Petry. Petry's the safer option given his cross-category production. Kling started the year like a house on fire but has since cooled off. He needs to be scoring to be valuable, so depends on what you think of Seguin's timeline + Hintz and Radulov's never-ending injury situation.

Weber is just Petry-lite, fantasy wise. Martinez is great but doesn't get you as many peripherals besides BLK. Weegar is also solid but doesn't get you PPP or great peripherals other than HIT (and both Weegar and Martinez are worth less in leagues that don't count +/-).
