Pick 2 forwards for H2H playoffs - happy to rep all responses!

[kbro]

Here are the guys I'm looking at, and I'm just as concerned about schedule as I am about production. For me to consider a guy with 2 fewer GP they need to more than make up for it with offensive upside.

My stat categories are as follows:

G = 2
A = 2
+/- = 0.5 (can be plus or minus 0.5!)
PIM = 0.25

Here are the guys I'm looking at:

- Wilson
- Blackwell
- Bennett
- Laine
- Gaudreau
- Norris
- Roslovic
- Erne
- Duclair
- Bonino
- Puljujarvi
- Kempe
- Gurianov

Who do you like best, and why? Pick 2! Thanks in advance!!

Tough one. I'd go Gurianov and one of Gaudreau or Bennett here.

Gurianov I picked up because he'll play DET four times this week, or three more times starting tonight. He's also getting solid PP time

Not that he's likely to repeat the 17 PIM he had last night but Bennett really had an impact and scored a goal so with three games remaining this week we might be witnessing a trade that is having a positive effect on his game.

Gaudreau is just the best player of the bunch here even under Sutter although has two games remaining.

Thanks! I'm just as worried about games played next week+ as I am worried about this week though.

Roster pickups won't take effect until tomorrow, so today's Dallas game is of no use to me.

... I do like Minnesota and Montreal's schedule as they play Wed, Fri, Sat - then I could drop for a guy playing Sunday & most of next week.

Candidates include: Bonino (top PP), Zuccarello (Kaprizov line), Parise, Kotkaniemi, Drouin, Armia
