What's the deal with him? Getting bounced around 3rd line, not producing. Is his situation going to improve or should I drop him on my fantasy team?

I have him as well, but he was a keeper for me since my lw all sucked...

I figure I’m going to be patient. coming back from injury + no pre-season, he is only 8 games in. It’s pretty rough right now but hopefully he gets it back

He is screwed. Staal and Trocheck took over top powerplay from him as well. If he doesn't get top PP, and is not playing with Aho or Svechnikov then he is a drop candidate. He lacks peripherals as well.

You don't see any shot of comeback?

Depends on how shallow your league is. In a 10 team league he is drop worthy. I personally hate his deployment this year, and he doesn't look like the same player after covid. If it's a deeper keeper league I would probably hold for a few more weeks, but he wouldn't be one of my top keepers. Better to try and trade him since his name might hold some value.

Remember the season is only 56 games. You can't afford to wait around and hold players in redraft leagues.

It's a 10 player league. I'm 3-1 and looking pretty good to go 4-1. So I'm not in a losing position right now. But at the same time I don't know if I should move on yet or if there's still potential to go back on the top line. I hate where I drafted him

I'm doing good even with him so I don't need to drop him... but have been thinking about it.

I have read earlier posts saying he was replaced on the PP?

How do you get replaced by guys who put up way less points than him historically?

Did he just fall off the wagon or is he in the coaches doghouse?

This is a point a game player we are talking about.

Exactly, that's why I'm wondering if anyone here has any more information as to what is going on with him before I make my decision

yeah that's the thing for me too. I'm 1st in my 12 player league.

I'm getting absolutely shit on this week though, getting rekt by injuries and PPD games



Coming back from injury normally takes a while for guys to get back to where they were, I'm not going to drop him for a while
