I would drop Dano for O'Reilly immediately.
For the team in sig, wondering if any of the following available FA's would be better suited for my team:
Skinner
B. Schenn
Atkinson
O'Reilly
Perron
Drouin
Pominville
Barkov
The only players I would really consider dropping would be Dano and Rielly. Dano hits a lot, but could be moved off that top line easily, and is unproven.
Rielly could be swapped for Savard, Fowler or Franson, but those could be lateral moves.
Appreciate any comments. Rep will be given as always.
Thanks

Hey, your categories are almost identical to mine in one league.
Here's how I would rank all of these players based on your categories (and Dobber's projections for this year)
Dano - 246
Skinner - 271
B. Schenn - 103 (but he's gotta stick on the top line for that....risky business)
Atkinson - 285
O'Reilly - 108
Perron - 125 (but again...risky. Hasn't played with Crosby or Malkin all pre-season and he's slated to start on the 3rd line. Who knows.)
Drouin - 364
Pominville - 237
Barkov - 278
Rielly - 203
Savard - 110 (a little risk here, but ppl love him)
Fowler - 159 (and he gets hurt a lot)
Franson - 62 (!). He's rated this high because he fills out quite a few categories and he's going to be the guy on the PP.
So I would absolutely grab Ryan O'Reilly for Dano.
You've also only got 3 starting D listed in your signature with Ekblad in the R...is that rookie? I'm assuming he's your 4th starter there. He would be ranked 88th and I love him.
Do you have any other bench players? I was going to say you could drop Kuznetsov for Franson, but it looks like he's going to be filling in at some forward positions for you.

Thanks for breaking it down like this! I made the swap for O'Reilly.
Yeah Ekblad is my rookie keeper. No more bench spots unfortunetely, and I've carried 5 dman in the past. It has its benefits with hits and blocks, but Kuznetsov would be filling in empty forward spots, as you mentioned. Plus him rolling on the top line while Backstrom is injured is intriguing.
Thank again!
Good luck man! Hope the projections work out for you this season!
