in a league with no PIM or hits, is backes still a valuable player to own over some of the guys in my roster?

cats are: G A +/- PPP SOG

backes was just dropped in my league (15 points in 22 games) and am wondering if i should drop ladd to pick him up?

I'd probably stand pat. Their numbers from here on out could be pretty close, but I'd gamble on Ladd's continued success with Wheeler and Little, I think. Ladd is shooting more, too.

Id keep what you have
