I have juiced my top 2 lines to be high 90s (ie. 99 RNH, 99 r. johansen, 98 landeskog) and then juiced at least one of my top 4 d (99 hedman). Once the training durations time out, i'm wondering if i should just use young guys like monahan/bennet/m. reilly/etc and invest in boosting their overall or actually go out and hunt for expensive players in the auction.

so what's better a 10K puck center with an 88ovr or investing half as much and having a lesser valued player juiced to be ~95 overall?
I've always juiced at least a few players. I like to have a few boosted on 15gm and some on 3gm trainings. I use Monahan boosted to 96 and have used Bennet juiced to 99 and they have both been good. This is my current line up:

Benn (99) - Datsuyk (92) - Hossa (92)
WJC Fin Player (99) - Monahan (96) - Modano (95)
Robataille (95) - Seguin (96) - All star Iginla (92)
TOTW Boyle (90) - TOTW Hanzal - Burns

MOV Brodie (99) - Seabrook (99)
Hedman (98) - Letang
Vlassic - POTG Hamilton (92)

+2 all cards are super cheap and a great way to boost. The + all cards boost their hidden ratings like faceoffs as well. I used to use boosted Nishkushkin and Landeskog to 99 and they are great at that rating.
