Who to pickup?

[Pawford]

I went this week against a mid-table team and am up 6-5-1. It will keep me in 3rd, but I will be playing #1 team next week and need to put my best team forward against them.
Are any of the following players worth a pickup? Who would I need to drop on my team?

If Evander Kane comes back, he's definitely worth an add, but doubt that will be the next 2 weeks.

Barzal is an interesting one, for long term. Kapanen, with Crosby back, gives hits, might be good. Not sure what the deal with Konecny. I feel like he will heat up at some point and also gives good hits. Petry as well. He's been way too good the past few years for him to be producing so poorly. Not sure what is happening in Montreal, but feel like he's a good grab/buy low right now.

I would consider dropping Risto. Yea, he adds a lot in Hit/Blks, but that is about it right now. If you can find a D or F that can score more AND come closer to Hit or Hit and BLK, I might consider it.

Rakel has been playing well since his return. Honestly, Kakko neither puts up points nor hits right now. So I would absolutely replace him with any one of those forwards I mentioned. And Coleman might be worth keeping for Hit/PIM but he's not really scoring either. So I would see if anyone stacks up to him, if you could get points and like 30 hit, 15 pim compared to Colemans 25 pim and 50 hit, I think it would be worthwhile.

I know Petry has been invisible this year. But he provides sort of similar peripherals to Risto and I think Petry ultimately has a higher scoring potential. Which would be a gamble that Petry turns things around because I really cant explain his dropoff offensively.

So basically, Kakko I would absolutely drop for one of the forwards. Maybe Konecny, Barzal, Rakel or Kapanen. If you do add Barzal you might need another RW to add. Looks like you are pretty stacked on D, so theoretically could add like Barzal and one of the forwards with Hit and drop kakko and Risto.

Coleman I would consider dropping for one of the better offensive players that still give at least 25-30 hits right now.


Risto, If you are doing well in hit and blks. Like beating teams in these cats by a lot. I might then consider dropping Risto for more scoring.

Hope that helps a bit.

Please help with mine, thanks: https://forums.dobbersports.com/show...g-term-Dynasty
