I am in a dog fight at the moment. (Sorry it's a little long)

1st place is 10 points ahead of me in yahoo-Roto;

cats are G,A,+/-, Pim, PPP, GWG,Shots, GAA,Wins, SV%, Shutouts.

We keep 10 + 1 rookie.

I am currently in 2nd place
3rd place 3 points back;
4th place 4.5 back
5th 7.5 back.

My team is Malkin (IR), Whitney (IR) Datysuk, Neal, Duchene, Skinner, Clarkson, M. Koivu, Burrows, RNH, Yakupov, Plekanec, Tootoo; Dupuis (B), Little (B),

D= Byfuglien, Shattenkirk, Edler, Hedman, Voyno, Diaz (IR), White(B)

Goaliles= Lehtonen, Neimi, Broduer.

Offer on the table is :

"One of my young guns" (we haven't talked about which)

for

Thornton, St. Louis,Lubo Visnosky.

I can't decide if this deal is worth the risk of losing a long term stud.

We keep 10 + 1 rookie every year.
So my keeper list potentials are:

Malkin, Neal, Datsyuk, Duchene, Skinner, Clarkson, RNH, Yakupov (R)
Shatternkirk, Edler, Byfuglien,
Neimi, Lehtonen,

I am going to lose two of the above for nothing in the off season anyway (right now i am leaning towards Clarkson, Edler, Lehtonen)

WILL RNH/YAkupov Pick it up this season? Even a little bit?

---RNH- Is shooting much more than he did last year; but every game i watch he is always the 3rd assist... Watching him play; he is well ahead of his years...-- he is already playing an amazing two game; he is the 1st person back playing defense and 1st one in the offense zone... He will be a perfect replacement for Datysuk (IMO)---

Yakupov is playing well- but getting no quality minutes and still putting up respectable numbers.

CURRENT LEAGUE OVERVIEW:

him and Yakupov are holding my team back in the extremely competitive categories (5 GMs are separated by 4 PPP) ; 21 shots separate 6 GMs; 1 goal separates 5 GM's; +5 seperates another 5 gm's; 6 PIMS separates 3; and 3 GWG's seperate 9 GM's; Goalie stats are just as competitive-- but trying to pick off an elite goalie in my league is next to impossible. (It took lindback +3rd to get Broduer)

Acknowledge:

I had lost: Malkin, Duchene, Skinner, Bfuglien, Whitney, Diaz, Broduer, Lehtonen to injuries (which is partly why my competition was able to cut into my league)

Burning Question:

Would you sell one of these assets now? Or stick with what you got and sell off other pieces in the off season?

TY in advance.
