With Carle's demotion and not wanting to wait and see if it only lasts a week or whatever I am in need of a d-man. Z.Michalek is available in my league as is M.E. Vlasic. I know Michalek has been getting solid powerplay time...is Jovo's return going to downgrade Michalek's fantasy value in any way? I could speculate on Vlasic getting solid powerplay time with the Carle demotion but I tend to think the Sharks will spread out the time on the big powerplay unit more evenly. Michalek the better pickup over Vlasic short and longterm?

I don't think Carle will be down there that long.

I think Michalek is a monster. Grab him!

Grab Michalek. Drop someone else so you can keep Carle as well.

the sharks have stated they think carle won't be down there for that long. bernier they say is a different story. anyway, vlasic plays on the pk unit. he won't be on the powerplay.
