Craig Smith rested?

[jprivel]

Hey guys, my fantasy pool is entering its playoff phase and I want to know if Craig Smith will be playing this week. I know he was rested yesterday but I can't find anywhere if he'll be back for next game. Anyone?

no one knows. two consecutive 'rest' games makes one wonder if there really is some minor injury he's trying to recover from.

Nobody will have any more insight, but I would surmise he had a lingering issue that he had been playing through. Hartman provided enough depth to give him a couple games off to get healthy. I think he will be back this week. I would say there is a chance we see our playoff lineup Tuesday.

I actually expect PK to get a rest day as soon as Josi is back. We know he has a bum hand/wrist.

Yeah I think aside from the Winnipeg games, Lavy will be rotating guys in and out of the lineup to keep them fresh. Also gives him a chance to play with some line/defense combinations in case there is an injury later in the year, or if he just wants to try something out. If you have this kind of depth, IMO, it would be silly not to utilize it. You may roll out your best possible lineup against Winnipeg, but other than that I would be trying to keep as many guys somewhat rested as I can.

Assuming they keep rotating guys out for "maintenance" days, which the depth gives them the luxury to, then I'm sure if they have a good playoff run it will become one of the talking points about the team.

I remember the days when I wanted to trade this turd cause he was all speed and no finish. Good thing the coach didn't listen to me cause Smith is our polished turd now as he is having him a great scoring year this year vs being snakebitten. When he is on he is on, when he is off he is off. He's been on this year though and made me eat crow. Glad to see he is back to having him a 20 goal scorer year.

I've heeard it was a bit if an allergy cold deal with Josi, maybe the same for Smith. It is that time of year.

The current virus making the rounds lasts about 10 days(I'm on day 9 myself and still sick so that may be an underestimate)
