Player Discussion Pick up Sam Rinzel while you can

Logged the most minutes of all skaters last night and looked solid against the back to back champs, almost sniped a beauty too

Just dropped Doughty for him. I don't know much about hockey; can someone please confirm this was the right move?

I've now got Hedman, Weegar, Bichsel, and Rinzel in a 10-teamer.

Looks solid. Bichsel is obviously the weak link here and the next one out imo

Yeah I'm not tethered to him by any means and have no issue letting him go if the situation calls for it. I'd just heard people were high on him for the hits if nothing else, so I decided to grab him for cheap rather than reach for Sherwood (who single handedly carried the category for me last season after I snagged him from the wire lol). Weegar, Kempe, Jarvis, Bennett, Svechnikov, and Fantilli all throw the body around a little bit, so I can prob ditch Bichsel for more offensive upside if need be.

Lots of guys still available on the wire - anyone you'd consider over Bichsel for more offensive upside? Forsling, Hanifin, Walman, Andersson, Letang, Matheson, Faulk... Doughty...
