Team Advice

[nebulalungren]

I need to pick up one or two wings...
My team:


(C) John Tavares, Mike Fisher, Zack Smith, Paul Gaustad, Danny Briere, Saku Koivu, Jarret Stoll

(C,LW) Jussi Jokinen, Evander Kane, Colin Greening

(C,RW) Claude Giroux

(LW,RW) Alex Burrows

(RW) Kris Versteeg, Martin St. Louis, David Clarkson

(D) Alex Pietrangelo, Brent Seabrook, Kimmo Timonen, Dan Girardi, Eric Brewer, Jay Harrison

(IR-D) John-Michael Liles

(G) Jimmy Howard, Henrik Lundqvist, Brian Elliot, Sergei Bobrovsky

We play 4C, 4LW, 4RW, 6D, 2G and score G,A,PIM,SHG,FOW,HAT,HIT,BLK,DEF,PPP in a 13 team league.

Looking for some advice on what to do. I think I have too many centers..but can't bring myself to drop any of them. Elliot also seems to be cooling off..should I drop him or Bobrovski? Should I grab Cammalleri now that hes on Calgary?

I am able to pick up:

(LW) Viktor Stalberg, Sergei Kostitsyn, Vernon Fiddler, Andrew Ladd, Tanner Glass, Mike Cammalleri (who has moved to the first line with Cal?)

(RW) Derek Dorset, Patric Hornqvist, Michael Grabner, Daniel Cleary, Jannik Hansen

(C,LW,RW) Alex Burmistrov (who is in the line with Kane and Little now?)

Who should I get, who should I drop?

I would go with dropping Gaustad for Cammalleri, although currently he is on the second line he's got a lot of skill and may be shifted with Iginla.
Also I would go with either Stoll or Zack Smith for Stalberg, playing with Toews and Kane.

Just my opinion

Viktor Stalberg, Sergei Kostitsyn - for sure

Wow, you really do have a few tomato cans on your team, huh ? lol. Fisher, Smith, Stoll, and Jokinen are just "fill-in" players in most leagues. I see you're in a 13-team league though, so I guess that's kind of expected (to some extent). I'd definitely go get Stalberg for one. I like Ladd for the other, but Cammi could be the right choice in the long run cuz I can see him picking it up real soon in Calgary.

What does everyone have against tomato cans? I have never heard that expression for a crappy hockey player before..lol

Drop: Paul Gaustad, Zack Smith, Jarrett Stoll, Colin Greening,

Add: Mike Cammalleri, Patric Hornqvist, Jannik Hansen, Daniel Cleary,

That's in order from first move to make to last move (Stoll is probably < Hansen, but FOW is one of his strengths) (Greening shows flashes of competence, so does Cleary)

Oh, and 'Tomato Can' is an old boxing expression, IIRC. They take a lot of punches before they bleed, and don't punch back.

LOL, thanks for the tomato can reference.

I'm in first in a 16 team league (see below) trying to gear up for the playoffs. Current trades I have proposed:

Price for Ovechkin (other GM has 5 backup goalies)
Filpula+Price for Iginla+Ward (other team is riddled with centre injuries)
Filpula for Seguin (I think that's fair, based on linemates, potential, etc... I just have too many Wings / Stars on my team)

I think it's time to unload Elliott, as he won't get any amount of time until Halak stinks it up, but the manager with Halak in this league is no longer playing so...

I'm open to suggestions
