    Default Drop Mercer for Rossi or Boldy?

    So we have a starting roster spot dedicated to a rookie. Right now I have Dawson Mercer in there, and he has been really quite good. Having said that, the following are available.

    Matt Boldy (scored in his debut tonight on 4 shots)
    Marco Rossi (didn't point in his debut tonight, but played a lot, 2 shots, +2)

    I'm assuming if I'm to make a move it would be for Rossi. But is this a "wait and see", "don't do it", or "do it now"?

    Goalie Cats (worth half what player cats are) = W,GAA,S%,SO (SO worth 25% of what player cats are)

    I’m not so sure either will stay up, but I grabbed Rossi while I still could.

    I'd grab Rossi here. Mercer was in a great spot with Hughes and Hischier out, but they're back for now.

    Agree, Rossi certainly has the higher upside of the three. Mercer made the most of his opportunity but he's very likely to slide down the roster with the Devils back at full strength. I don't think you have the luxury of "wait and see" someone is going to scope him up.

    Agree with the consensus here.

    It's a gamble that either Rossi/Boldy stay up but I'd roll the dice on either over Mercer now in a 1-year.

    2 things to consider though:

    1) That's an expensive waiver fee. With a year as nuts as this one I might hold in case you get with a serious injury/covid you need to address.

    2) If Kap is out long term, I think the chances Boldy stays are stronger. Not sure if they'll keep Rossi up once JEE is back unless he really clicks with Fiala. Like the others, I prefer Rossi's upside, but opportunity really needs to be considered right now too.

    Good luck.
