How to replace Kyle Connor on this team?

[Stifler]

Hey all,

I have Kyle Connor in a 8 team pts only league.
We dress 4 c, 4 lw, 4 rw 6 d and 2 goalies

I am currently in first, with a 2 pt lead and this obviously is a big blow.
My current team is as follows:

C: Eichel, Trochek, Thompson, Barzal, Thomas
Lw: Robertson, Byfield, Moore, Connor (IR) Nichuskin
Rw: Seguin, Duchene, Crouse, Rantanen Boldy
D: Dunn, Heiskanen, Theodore (ir), Chabot (ir), Mintyukov, Ghostisbhere
G: Hellebuyck, Vanecek, Georgiev, Quick

We only have 2 IR slots so my plan is to move Connor there and drop chabot as he has been brutal anyway.

Notable players I can add are:

Palat
Lafreniere
STephenson
Lee
Carcone
Neighbors
Schenn

Alternatively I can add Akira Schmid to handcufd the NJ goalies so I at least have a good chance at 2 pts every game.

What would you do? Any other hot players you recommend I look into?

The race is too close to lose a player like Connor so any help is appreciated

Ill rep if i can

Thanks

you can ride Carcone until the wheels explode off the wagon with that absurd shooting %. IMO add Stephenson who's heating up.

Is Vilardi available? He’s not Connor, but he took Connor’s spot last night.

No unfortunately the team im battling for first/second has him
