    Default Activate Gaborik for this week?

    I see where he might play at some point this week. Does anyone have any definitive update on this yet? I need to make a decision as to activate him or not before the first game this evening. I have Benn & T Ruutu in my lineup so could bench one of them to activate him. Even Brassard although I hesitate to do that since he's so hot even thought they only play 2 games this week. Please advise with thoughts ASAP. Thank you!

    Rangers only play three times this week. I don't think he will play before Thurs. I have him as well, but I'm not going to put him in until next week. Let's see how he does first.
    Head to Head League: 1 point for G, 1 point for A. 2 for Goalie win, 3 for SO.
    Start 6 guys every week. 3 O, 2 D and 1G. No substitutions once they are in (before the first game starts on Monday).
    Protect 3 players every year in keeper.
    10 rounds of drafting

    I have learned that when he does return you absolutely want him in your line-up because he tends to be on fire. The dirty old push-pull - when will he really return? Newper is right, his returns seem to get delayed.

    YES!!!

    I didn't activate him this week as I in a head to head league where your lineup doesn't change once it is past 7pm on Monday. So this gives me two games to see how he is. I can't wait. I really hope he starts piling up the points.

    It's better than that actually, Zipay reported that Tortorella confirmed Gabby's in for tomorrow (Thursday) night's game. There was a possibility he'd be held out until Sunday.
