Quick question....but why? Are you required to pick every player in the league in your fantasy league? Otherwise this makes no sense.

You don't need to have a bomb of a shot, he just needs to put it on net which he never does. Perimeter passing back and forth with the two forwards along the boards is all he does.



They have never tried anyone else except him on the first PP. So he's there by default

1-0 43 save shutout incoming!

Kadri mails it in again. Huberdeau does a spin-o-rama pass right to a Blues player who has a breakaway on the PK and scores on one of 16 shots allowed.

The lone D on this pp isn't the reason that it has sucked majorly for the last 90 or so games. It's the lack of finishers and quick puck movement.

Maybe if the team had a Makar or Hughes to plug in, it would be an upgrade, but the forwards need to be able to move the puck quicker and win battles more regularly to make shooting lanes open up for Rasmus.

There isn't much else for him to do right now but perimeter passing (the whole team is operating this way), and I'd rather he doesn't just whip the puck into lanes that aren't there for easy shot blocks.

I feel like we’ve never matched up well against the Blues.

Blues would have to use Hofer anyway once Binnington has a tantrum and goes after Kadri.

Might as well just give him the start.

Kadri was one of the better forwards in the last game. Hopefully he keeps it going. Someone has to step up and start being a positive difference.

edit: spellcheck changed Kadri to Madrid..
