    Default 0-3 start, need some input

    Im about to be 0-3 to start off our 1year h2h league. I thought I had a decent team but I just cant pull off a W. The cats and team are in my sig. I'll list some FA below but I dont think any can really help me. Any trades I should try and make possibly? Maybe I just need to hang tight. Grabovski, Dubinsky and Wheeler havent done much of anything, yet. Wheeler though Im thinking will end up with 60-70 when all's said and done, but Grabo and Dubie are on the virge of being cut...

    FA:

    F
    Chaisson
    Malone
    Plekanec
    Penner
    Little
    Hodgson
    Filppula
    Killorn
    Okposo
    Arcobello

    D
    S.Salo
    Niskanen



    IR eligible to stash (my Boyle may end up there though)
    Lecalvier
    Gagne
    Hartnell

    Trade Hertl while his value is an all-time high, and trade Grabovski as well. Grabo doesn't contribute much in the shots department, and despite the two's starts they will still finish around the 55-60 pt mark. Try to flip them for a guaranteed 60-70 pt player if possible.

    Very surprised you are yet to win with Hertl, Grabovski, Kessel, Rask and Halak. Some of them are obviously not studs OR consistent offense capable but with the start these guys got, I would have thought you would have been up and brandishing Grabo and Hertl as trade baits (sell high). That opportunity may have come and gone, I am afraid.

    Of the FA list you presented, Plekanec is the one that jumps out to me as roster worthy with the others being of the hit and miss variety. Niskanen could also deserve a look till Letang is out (in other words, short-term only).

    Your goalies are solid, D is ok too (although the loss of Boyle weakens it).

    See if you can bundle up Hertl, Grabo, Eberle or some combination in a 2 for 1 package deal for a better Forward, and pick up Plekanec from the WW to cover the missing spot that opens up.
