    Who would you drop out of those two? Both get lots of minutes and PP time...

    I could drop a forward too?

    Both White and Wideman are pretty interchangeable. Wideman has consistently been a 0.5ppg D-man for the last few years, while White has never finished with more than 38 pts in a season. You could flip a coin, but White would probably be the best bet to drop.

    I quite like my Defensemen. But I'm not sure who I'd rather drop. Do I have any other players/forwards you would consider dropping before White or Wideman?

    Wideman gets a bunch of PP time too right?

    After further consideration, keep White and Wideman and drop Vrbata. You'll want to have the D depth and Vrbata is a dime a dozen player found on the waiver wire.

    If you want to drop a forward I'd consider Hanzal, Franzen, or Kunitz.

    With the coaching change in WAS i probably would drop White.
    Since this is a one year league ( wrong forum), another option would be dropping Stewart. Under Hitch the guy doesn´t have the same upside as usual, great keeper bad one year guy this season.

    I guess looking at my whole roster, I think it may be more advisable to drop a forward right? Cause there are forwards that I end up never having to use. But what do you guys think?

    With Vrbata being hot right now I kind of wanna ride the streak. I'm leaning towards dropping White as he will probably still be on waivers (compared to Stewart or Vrbata) when I decide I may want him back.

    Also, I have Goli on IR that will be coming back soon. Does this sound pretty reasonable?
