    Default Pick Up Fiala?

    Fiala was just dropped in the league in my signature. Any forwards from my team that I should drop to pick him up? He’s averaging the same amount of fantasy points per game as Buchnevich and Toffoli, and slightly more than Laine. Maybe it would just be a lateral move for me?

    I prefer Fiala over Toffoli. Laine has been underwhelming this year but has a potentially high ceiling.

    I second this. Fiala has at least a higher perceived value than Toffoli, so there's a better chance you could include him as a meaningful piece in a deal should you decide to move on from him some day.

    This exactly. Add Fiala. Drop Toffoli if you think Laine can do more.

    Fiala is a second half mo ster- i do t know why but its like clockwork. Hell shock a lot of ppl in the second half- hes done it three years running. Then people draft him early hoping for full season production and he disappoints. Its is funny though that he's even being dropped right now- he's a ppg with almost 4 spgs- what was he looking for?

    Wow thanks all. Really appreciate the replies. I am surprised, I thought it would be a bit more split. I’ve been unsure about Fiala because he’s only had 1 great year in Minny last year. I’m not sure LA is as good of a team / location for him and he was demoted to the 3rd line. For someone who doesn’t believe in LA, I’m also uncomfortably invested in them with Kopitar and Quick/Copley.

    I think I had high hopes for Toffoli this year given his linemates (Huberdeau / Lindholm) and a Flames team I keep hearing is primed for a strong 2nd half. I should stop thinking emotionally about this and take the unanimous advice here.

    And a giant ugh regarding Laine. This is the year he’s finally no longer a keeper for me.

    I agree with everyone, but especially this. Whomever dropped him is going to regret it, badly.

    I'd be willing to drop Elliott or Quick, honestly. Neither plays much, and the skater spot should net you more.
