Who are the drops for Will Smith?
Smith was dropped on Monday, I'm guessing his manager was probably frustrated by the lack of peripherals. But since being dropped, he's been on a bit of a heater and I'm trying to figure out how to get him onto my team before anyone notices. My problem is that I've currently got two healthy players on the IR and trying to find three players I'm comfortable cutting is a bit of a challenge.
I can drop one of Will Cuylle or Zachary L'Heureux to start. Probably L'Heureux.
Part of me wants to drop Demko, but I it seems like it's still too early to give up on him.
I could drop Edvinsson or LaCombe, but that would take me down to 4 D which I find is not the most efficient roster construction. If I had to pick one, it would probably be Edvinsson. LaCombe's offense has dried up recently, but he's putting up better peripherals than Edvinson.
My final options are either Stankoven or Eklund. Like Demko, it seems too early to give up on Stankoven and dropping Eklund doesn't seem like a great idea.
Writing all that out, I'm leaning towards L'Heureux, Edvinsson, and Demko as the drops. But that might be too much to give up for Smith.
Thoughts?
EDIT: Right now, I'm sorely tempted to rage drop Saros. Because we use a salary cap for keepers, and he has an extension kicking in next season I can't see him being one of my keepers. I've been floating him in trade offers, but no one is interested, probably with good reason.
