If you sub in Nash and Vorack you gain 33 points.

Depends on who he subs out. :) Gaborik seems like a foregone conclusion, but then there are choices to be made.

Well that would be the most points he gets.

Also with the New Years subs is there a time limit on them or can I just sub out my 2 worst players and sub in my 2 best reserve players on the last day of the seaon?

They have to be done on New Year's Day. Anything before or after that has to be done on the basis of missed games.

In the interests of making sure it's fair for everyone, since you're in the future and Kit is on Pacific time, we'll say midnight Pacific time, assuming all scheduled games that day have concluded by then. That's 11:59 p.m. Pacific, 1:59 a.m. January 2nd Central, 2:59 a.m. January 2nd Eastern, 3:59 a.m. January 2nd Atlantic, and, what, 4:59 p.m. January 2nd Australian time?

I just double-checked, and there's a late game between LA and Vancouver on January 1st. It starts at 7 p.m. Pacific, so it'll definitely be done by midnight.

Now I just need Boyle [from the Rangers] to miss six more games, so I can put Niederreiter in play...

Subbing Vanek out is a no brainer for me but I have no idea if I should sub someone else as well. Stepan and Drouin are doing well considering the missed games. Plus Yandles doing better than my bottom 5. MacKinnon and Duchene could be 60-70 point players though.

Gah. Hopefully it's more obvious by NYD

Yeah, I would have a hard time subbing someone like Yandle in for guys like MacKinnon and Duchene.

I'm kind of facing a similar quandry, where I'm not sure who to bring up. Most of my reserves are producing about the same amount, so I hope someone really starts stepping up before NY (and then keeps producing afterwards!).

MacKinnon had a 2 point night tonight as well.
