Reply With QuoteI like Hughes' potential a lot but Pasta would be a tough drop. I'd say its likely he ends up back on the first line if he keeps slumping. So I would hold onto pasta if I were you.
Pasta Problems
One year, points only...
Pasta is now primarily on line 2 with Taylor Hall (0.6p/g) & Erik Haula (0.28p/g -- yikes)
Meanwhile Jack Hughes & Matthew Barzal are available in my league, amongst other guys.
Saw the other nearby thread about Jack Hughes' potential to sustain his pace or not...
Do you hold on Pasta in a points? Should he come around?
He actually has his highest SOG ever this year by a fairly wide margin and about literally half his career shooting % -- at 7%....
5 points in his last 14 games though... ugh.
Wait for Pasta to come back to form, or is something amiss?

Re: Pasta Problems
I'd say you should salt the water, and cook until al dente before mixing in the sauce.
Wait what? Oh, I'd hold for now. He's too talented even with those options.

Re: Pasta Problems
100% hold for me.
I think there's a better chance Pasta regresses positively and you reap that heater than he stays this cold all season and your waiver outproduces.
Awesome time to buy Pasta imo. Worst possible time to drop/trade away under value.

Re: Pasta Problems
I will use your thread to ask another Pasta question, as you have your issue resolved.
Q: Pasta owner in 1year league is asking for your Rust. Would you do the trade?
Re: Pasta Problems

Re: Pasta Problems
He is averaging out to 4.32 shots per game, which is pretty similar to other seasons. It's just bad luck and I think now it's time to get him. With yesterday's 2 goals night, it might already be too late.

Re: Pasta Problems
Pasta leads the league in combined hit posts and crossbars with 7+1.
A quarter inch the other way and those are goals. That's called being snakebit.
They will start to go in. Patience

Re: Pasta Problems
Pasta is primo linguine right now.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
Re: Pasta Problems
Hopefully you held on as Pasta and Hall are starting to gel!
Re: Pasta Problems
I held on.
And, as usual, I’m grateful to my fellow Dobberites.
13 points in his last 9 games.
10 of those were goals.
(This current pasta — chef’s kiss!)
