Decision time on Emery

[Jester]

I could use a little advice. Team in Sig.
Emery is expected back soon and I need to make a decision.
I can:
release him... waive Mason or Varly, hope they clear waivers.... put Emery in the minors(no waivers required) but, then I'd need to drop Quick or any one of my forwards(need to keep at least 2 Dmen in the minors and I'll have Kronwall back soon too).

what to do, what to do?

thoughts?

In a keeper league I imagine Varlamov and Mason would be scooped up. I would go with the option of you demoting Emery and then releasing Vrbata (nothing special, just 26 points, and in a keeper he poses the KHL threat).

Thanks for the input, I didn't really think of dropping him, kinda high on Phoenix for the next couple years, at least. If I do drop Vrbata, who should I bring up? Bailey is kinda hot right now and Havlat is ..well... Havlat. He did get a couple assists last night.

I would actually bring up Oshie if you can. He's so good and his upside is sky high. Your league favors shorthanded points too, he can get you a couple of those.
