IR players on Fantasy hockey team..

[pbhockey4 0]

It is my first time doing fantasy hockey so I was hoping I can have some advice. I have 2 teams with a few players on my roster that are injured but their good players I don't want to let go. Team 1 Scott Gomez, Marc Stall. Team 2 Marc Staal, Sidney Crosby, Travis Zajac, Antero Niittymaki. What should I do with them since their on IR?

our fantasy league allows you to put players on the ir. If your league doesn't you have to go without them or drop them

Yeah, if your league doesn't allow an IR position on the team, need to drop those guys, or at least some. My league doesn't have an IR hold, but I have Crosby on my bench, trying to stay near the top until he gets back, then hopefully he can push me into top 3 spots.

Well you can drop Niittymaki, that's for sure. But I guess you have to hold onto the other players.

Gomez and Nittymaki should be fine to drop, with Marc Staal being questionable. Depending on your waver wire, you might be able to snag Ryan McDonough or Michael Del Zotto till Staal gets back. Unless you are in a twelve team league, there should be worthy replacements on your waver wire for Gomez (possibly Matt Moulson or Lars Eller). I'm guessing Nitty is your third or fourth goalie, so a guy like Ondrej Pavelec or Mike Smith should have almost the same value.

How big is your bench? In regards to team 2 if I had 4 dudes injured on my team with no IR I'd drop them all but Crosby because your just going to be losing points each week from lack of players. Maybe you can trade Staal to someone since he'll be back.
