Close call but I would go with Hossa and Vanek if Hossa gets healthy.

In a keeper I like staal and richards side, they are still young and I think are only going to get better!

This is close...but I am leaning towards Staal/Richards.

Staal has put up 100points already in his young career and that seems to be the absolute ceiling for Hossa.

Vanek may have a slight edge over Richards for now, but if linemates change [or a trade takes place] for any reason Richards could post 95pts.

thanks for the input guys, so if it was Richards for Vanek, in a points only keeper league, who gets the edge?

Richards is the more proven commodity, but I think Vanek has very similar potential with more of a finishing touch.

Given this choice I might go Vanek b/c he\'s playing with much better linemates so I think he has a better chance of reaching the higher point potential [+ he\'s younger].

If you can throw a knife from 100 metres and split and apple - then you might be able to decide between Richards and Vanek - otherwise for me it is a complete and utter toss up - there seems to be nothing in your league set up that would give preference one for the other.
