I DISAGREE with you! Every time Heatley has ever been traded he's had a great first year with his new team. While I agree with the second sentence of your first point I think you have to semi-agree with my point. Your second paragraph is Heatley in a nutshell. He will have a 35+g 80+ point season and either play his way onto a contender....or he will be stuck in Minnesota for next season were he will drop to 20+g and 50+p and bitch his way onto a contender....either way he's not staying in Minnesota.

I think he's getting too old for those shenanigans but I do agree he COULD do it,

I thinkt its more a 70% for him cracking 25-25 , and 30% of him doing a 35-40/40.

Two more until me .

Dane you are taking a big risk because Reimer could easily become a time share, but i like him and think he's very solid.

Another dilemma. In a different pool, we also keep 4 players and there's 10 total teams. We draft 3C, 2Lw, 2RW, 4D, 2 G, 5B. My keepers are Datsyuk, Henrik and Daniel Sedin, Stamkos. Problem is, 3 of those are Centers and Center is deepest position. I have Fleury and Thomas as goalies, but i can't keep them over any of those forwards. I have two 1st rd picks but theyre the 8th and 9th picks. I was offered Giroux and 1st (2nd overall) for stamkos or either Kane or bobby ryan and a 1st (7th overall) for him. Im considering it b/c i would change a keeper at C to a winger and then be able to draft a goalie. Ward, Fleury, Thomas, Kipper, Broduer will be there. I really don't want to trade Stamkos, i think he'll break 100 this year, but i'm not getting offers for my other players.

What do you guys think?

I'm going to go a different route. TRADE STAMKOS! Yes, you heard em right. He's a great player, one of the best....but he's not clutch. I've watched him closely over the past few seasons. When the season comes to an end or it's coming to an end he does his disappearing act better than anyone else I know. He's great from October-March...but when fantasy playoffs start, or the NHL playoffs start he goes awol. Datsyuk, and the Sedin twins don't slow down(until you hit the actual Stanley Cup Finals but that's for all of Vancouver). In all honesty I'd trade for any of those wingers + a 1st rounder. He's the deal...if you are already trading for Giroux in one league I wouldn't eve rsuggest putting all your eggs in one basket. Which means I'd probably nail down Patrick Kane and the 7th pick for Stamkos. Stamkos is gonna get 90-100 pts, but Henrik Sedin will too, and Kane is good for 80+ as is Giroux and or Bobby Ryan.

I'd make the trade Stamkos for Kane + 7th overall, keep the Sedin Twins and dump Datsyuk(also bc you have him in the other league).

That starts you off

Henrik Sedin, Daniel Sedin, Patrick Kane, and 2 1st round picks? Seems fine to me. C, LW, RW and all are top 5 in their respective categories. I would take Kane over Ryan as well even though I like Bobby Ryan better than Kane only bc you have arguably the best LW already and RW is much more shallow a spot to fill.

Makes it easier when you have a better C in Henrik Sedin.

BTW...how on earth do you get into these kind of keeper leagues? The money league I've actually won the last two years I don't have the choice between guys like Stamkos or Sedin to keep....wtf? I almost refuse to believe there are multiple leagues out there were people are this bad, and if there really is I want in damnit!

I think Bernek has gone over his time, so whoever is next can pick.

Hey Matt, Shron took Loui Eriksson in round 5. You gotta pick again .

edit: should other drafters hold off until matt has a chance to amend his pick or does he have to own his mistake? I don't remember how we did it last year.
