    Default Is Swayman worth a #1 waiver priority? Swayman over Campbell?

    Hey guys.

    First team in sig

    A bit of a follow up from my other post about picking up Campbell.....

    Another GM just dropped Swayman.

    I would assume everyone agrees that Swayman would be a better pick up option than Campbell at this point......makes it even better that I have Ullmark as well.

    But is HE worth the #1 waiver spot since he's more of a backup to Ullmark now.

    Is he even worth picking up or is Campbell the better option?

    Easily pick up Swayman v Campbell, terrific handcuff at worst, and Ullmark gets injured occasionally.

    I had to look up Swayman not a great season to date (2.72, .895). Given you have Ullmark I would rather Swayman to Campbell given you own Ullmark but

    You know your league better than anyone here, is there a chance a better player gets dumped by a panicking GM?
    Personally I think I have made a waiver wire claim exactly twice in my 10 years in my main league because guys worth fighting over do not get dumped often. Once was when Shea Weber went from month-to-month to recovering in like 48 hours, the other time was (I do not recall who) a player I really liked for whatever reason.

    I would make the claim and be happy to all have all Bruin starts going forward.

    It's tough. I was debating the waiver with Campbell and here is Swayman....

    I just hate using a #1 waiver however it's just as bad to just wait and never end up using.

    Thanks for the points.

    I think that you should clearly wait now, and pick up whichever one gets through, preferably Swayman.
