    Default Last pickup of the season

    Championship time!
    Last week of Yahoo Public H2H, Saturday's games will be the last.
    I am down 5-4 in my matchup with the following spreads:
    G -4, A +1, +- +4, PPP -3, SOG +11, H -10
    W -1, GAA +1.04, SV% -0.09, SO even.
    There are still a few games to play this week, Saturday's roster is obvs full and nobody plays Thursday AND Friday so I'm waiting to see what happens tomorrow before using my final pickup for someone on Friday. I *think* that I have SOG and GAA locked up while G and H are out of reach. +- is looking OK, but can be swingy. PPP may also be out of reach. Which really only leaves me with Assists to defend and then W and SV% to snatch back into my column (I can't really try for a SO, right?)

    The big question: with these cats up for grabs, is it best to pick up a skater on Friday to solidify assists or a goalie to help take a crack at W...though there's no telling whether the goalie I pick will even play? Looking at the Friday slate, I see Greiss and Bernier both available (vs CBJ), McElhinney (DAL), Hill (SJS, though he just played tonight) and Kahkonen (ANA).

    I suppose the decision still depends on how the cats look at the end of tomorrow night.

    Thanks!

    I do like Greiss vs CBJ and based on their splits he SHOULD be going tomorrow. But you can wait to see what happens with your goalies tonight. You should have 2 starting.

    The problem with a goalie is what if Greiss starts Saturday. Then your pickup is wasted.

    I'm debating dumping Shesterkin for Greiss, that way it doesn't matter which day he plays, as long as he plays one of them. The best skaters with a Friday game on the waiver wire for G/A/PPP are Spurgeon (ANA), Coleman (DAL) and Garland (SJS).
    I'll have to wait for the end of the VAN-EDM game to see where I stand, but I'm currently
    G +1, A +3, +- +7, PPP -2, SOG +24, H -15
    W even, GAA +1.16, SV% -0.02, SO even.
    Things are looking up...

    Not a bad idea. Rangers look done and it might be Georgiev Saturday.

    Hope Greiss works out for you. I decided to leave my goalies as-is. Goalies are hard enough to manage at the best of times, I don’t want to try and predict the future. Besides, my goalies have had such a bad week so far, I feel they should be due a bit of regression overall. this past week was just karma for the 3 shutouts I had last week.
