Adding a multi-cat specialist

[Choiker]

I was lucky enough to win titles for the two consecutive years, but I lost pretty much all weeks on the hit and blk categories.

So, this year I am kinda thinking about adding a specialist and Calvin de Haan fits my bill.

I love my squad so far, and I have a no idea who to drop for him.
Do you guys think it’s a good idea to add a specialist on the team? or should I keep what I have?

I look forward to your advice.
Cheers!

If you feel you need De Haan, look at who you don't need, and thats someone who doesn't contribute to your categories. I'd probably go with Koskinen or Hintz, in that order.

Yea I agree with Axeman, Hintz and Koskinen are the odd men out. But looking at your team and considering that you are lacking hits and blocks, a trade might be the better path to go. All of your d-men except Petry are not that good for hits and blocks. I would try to trade Karlsson although right now is probably not the right time to do it because he's underperforming.

Adding DeHaan would help, but I like the idea from the poster above to make a deal to get a more rounded D. If you can do that, and add a DeHaan type, that would probably solve it very well.

Adding de Hann on his own probably won't move the needle much. So like gamer said, I would also be exploring trade opportunities. I'd probably see what you could get for Karlsson, Theodore, or Dobson. Getting some grit for one of those guys, and then adding someone like de Hann - you'd start to notice a difference.
