give up byfuglien for nicklas backstrom (C, washington). Keeper league, both would be kept. Cats are G A PIM PPG PPA GWG HIT Block, bonus 0.5 for each defensive players points. Backstrom can be a PPG guy up there top 10 offense, but Buff is also top 10 D players. Its 50-50 for me right now. Other F- Crosby, Gaborik, Kovalchuk, J Staal, Franzen, Dupuis, Mike Richards, Fleischman, Bobby ryan, matt read, Bergeron. Other D are wisnewski, campbell, del zotto, mcdonagh, nikitin, ryan whitney

No, if you have hits and blks and .5 extra for dmen scoring then buff is better. I am one o never PIM dmen over forwards but no go. Espcially if u use yahoo and buff is w,d eligible

I'm with the majority here...keep the Byfuglien. The reality is that right now Backstrom isn't even in the top 10 of F and Byfuglien has to be in the top 5 D easily with all those cats. I think this would be a dicey call even if Backstrom was lighting it up [and he's not] given how hard it would be to replace all those points on D.
