Spurgeon vs Fowler/Klingberg/Valimaki/Risto

[ericdaoust]

H2H pts league

G: 2
A: 3
SOG: 0.2
HIT: 0.2
BKS: 0.25
STP (Special Teams pts): 1

I've had a good run with Spurgeon as my last D, but he's cooled off significantly so I'm looking at other options.
Peripherals are nice in this league but G/A are the deciding factor. STP is also big.

Other available options:

Valimaki (productive of late)
Klingberg (back on track, might get traded, but injured now)
Fowler (productive of late)
Ristolainen (better of late)

Any thoughts? I'm considering adding Klingberg and moving him to IR, then adding another D.

I’d keep Spurgeon - they have crucial games down the stretch and wouldn’t surprise me if he finished strong points-wise.

if this is 1 year league would not hurt to add klinberg and put him on IR..im not sure other guys produce enough even with risto being hit machine he cant outproduce that offence your league rewards..

if its any kind of deep keeper or dynasty, i would pick up Valimaki, he appears to be in right place, will probably be a new PP QB for a while and he always was talented, mabye he is putting things together, imo worth the shot.

I'd go Klingberg. There's a chance he lands in a very favorable spot - Why Edm wouldn't look at him or Krug for half the cost of EK.

Valimaki has been really good - during Gostisbehere's absence.
Haven't seen any change to his ice time in the couple games Gost has been back - including PP.
things might actually be starting to click for Valimaki in the NHL. I'd really like to see his SOG/GM start to improve.
For offensive D, 1.5/gm is my absolute min. That and below really diminishes their opportunity to produce.

Fowler naturally benefits from a Klingberg trade, so there's that. He's def. been better. A safer bet vs. Valimaki with the bump on SOG.

I have to drop someone to add Klingberg, so that would be Spurgeon. Then we'll see what happens on the wire.

I think Valimaki or Sanderson (just activated) would be decent picks to be added after Klingberg goes to IR.

Still figuring out my moves. Next week is the last before H2H playoffs start. Stockpiling a couple IR guys (Klingberg, Dach, Fabbri, Pageau, etc) might be a good idea. Worst case I drop them later.

I dont think there was mention of Sanderson in first post...i would grab him ahead of any of these guys in Keeper/Dynasty

He was just activated from IR which caught my attention.

I made sure to post this in the One Year League forum because it's a one-year league.
