Skaters tonight

[jblaze66]

I currently have Staal, Doan, and Gagne on the bench and wondering what you think. Do I slide one of them in and who would you bench

C - Couture, Grabovski, J. Staal(LW)
LW - Cammelleri, Doan(RW), V. Prospal(C), S. Gagne
RW - C. Perry, D. Stafford, Purcell
D - Doughty, Byfuglien(RW), Ehrhoff, Karlsson
G - Vokoun, Quick, Schneider, Nabokov

12 Team H2H Points (Yahoo Private #57570)
FWD/D: G(5)A(3)PPG,SHG(2)PPA,SHA(2)GWG(1)SOG(1)
Goalies: W(5)L(-2)SV(1)SHO(10)
Starting Pos: C,C,LW,LW,RW,RW,D,D,D,D,Util,G,G,BN,BN,BN,BN,BN,IR

EDIT: Ok so I guess it is between Doan and Gagne now that Staal is out

I'd consider exchanging Prospal for Grabovski and then letting Gagne slip into the LW slot.

I have a similar dilemma. I have Alfie, Hanzal and Grabovski in and Adam and Pareneau out. I am fighting in almost every skating category...Adam worries me because his ATOI is so low. Patenteau's PM is horrible. But I hesitate with Grabovski simply because if he doesn't score he adds NOTHING in hits, blocks, heck even SOG so far this year. Hanzal helps in ATOI, SOG and hits big time and he has been involved in the scoring more than expected. So keep it the way I have with Parentau and Adam benched or put them in for???

Hmm that is a good idea, tough matchup for Grabo and a good matchup for Gagne

Looks like Jordan Staal is listed as DTD on the ESPN site now:

"Staal did not travel to Toronto and will not play Saturday, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
Spin: Staal left Thursday's game for a bit after colliding with the Islanders' John Tavares, but later returned. Mark Letestu will likely slide into Staal's spot at center."

That's right. He's been ruled out for tonight's game.

Well, scratch that idea. Gagne is out for tonight's game. Undisclosed injury.
