So I noticed the nobody in my yahoo points leaguer did not draft Pitkanen.
One semi-horrible season with Philly is no need to lose faith in him.
My D as it stands are:
JM Liles
Rafalski
Ziklicky
R Whitney

my question, is Pitkanen an upgrade to any of those guys? I love Whitney, Zidlicky should get the PP-QB job this year. So I guess its Rafalski or Liles...? Thoughts...

thanks.

If I was going to drop any of those 4 it would be Zidlicky... But Pitkanen has too much upside not to have on a team, is it a small league?

Nine teams, decent size. Typical Yahoo points system, G, A, +/-, PIM.

There is a good chance that Pitkanen will outpoint all but Whitney from your D list and likely by as many as 10 points over Zids and Liles. But both those guys also have upside that could get them close. Liles has problems staying out of the coach\'s doghouse and Zids has simply underperformed - not sure which I would dump for Pitkanen but it would be one of those two. I think Zids - Colorado has too much fire-power this year to ignore what will trickle down to Liles.
