Stay Patient with Kovalev?
Is it time to drop this clown? I am running out of patience. I have a bit of a hard-on for him since he is on my Sens, but should I be looking at replacing him with any of these guys:
Okposo
Clowe
Tambellini
JVR
Giroux
O'Sullivan
Byfuglien
Holmstrom
Malone
Stafford
Wheeler
Tanguay
Callahan
Stoll
(just to name a few)
Full team in sig.
Time to axe AK27?
Dont dump him yet, but keep on eye on Malone, JVR and Tanguay. Chances are that if they're FA's now, they'll be FA's when you're officially ready to jump ship.
I will say this: If any of those guys really start lighting it up, I would drop Kovalev for him regardless of how AK27 is playing. I dont care if he has 20 points in 4 games because you know it'll be followed up by 0 points in 30 games, lol.
you know what I say? fućk these on-again-off-again lazy ass 'i play when I wanna' type guys, just dont ever have them on your roster, there are far better options that will produce regularly...guys like Kovalev, Michalek, Vanek, Umberger, Erat are poison because you jsut dont know what you're getting in a given year, on a given team, etc, I prefer to take the guy that might get 5 fewer pts but he WILL get them year in and year out and week in and week out
</end rant>
but isn't Malone officially lighting it up already?
thanks for your advice as always NYR
I understand what you're saying mcgoo, but how is Michalek considered an on-again off-again player?

maybe thats not completely fair, but lets add 'not reaching potential' to that list and its a good fit I think
Maybe the best option (if in fact Kovalev gets 30 points in 4 games lol) would be tot rade him to another owner if he goes on a mini-tear?
Agreed, although he has looked good with Spezza this season (please come back Thursday, Jason!).
His speed is excellent and he is a great penalty killer, so when he isn't scoring I enjoy that part of his game.
It a 1 year league - I would just hang onto Kovalev a tad and I mean A TAD bit longer, all of these free agent guys are all about the same more or less in value, so you can snatch one of them up if your patience for Kovalev gives way
Would you drop Kovalev for Selanne?
Yahoo 1 Year Leagues:
G, A, PIM, +/-, PPP, SOG, HIT
W, GAA, SV%, SHO
2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 2G, 4Bn, 1IR
Hmmm...in my league he isn't available, but Selanne hasnt been impressive either so far. I'm not sure on that move.
I don't know if you drop or trade him but get rid of him. His old balls and lack of effort aren't going to get you anywhere and I'm sure his lazy ass will end up in Clouston's doghouse soon enough. that guy is a team first type coach, he sucks for fantasy.
NYR, would you drop Kovalev for JVR as of today? With Gagne out do you see him staying hot?
Kovalev for James Van riemsdyk
Im having the same issue with kovalev, do I drop him with his -5 rating, 4 goals and 1 assist for a hard working 2 G 11 A +6. Hes probably on first or second line since gagne is out. Seems like a no brainer, but kovalev did manage 84 pts 2 years ago and 64 last year. Does riemsdyk match it? hard to say. Seems his new team may not fit him so well. Kovalev has 5pts in 12 games compared to last year 12pts in 12 games. I think Ill drop him. hope i dont get burned.
