Good to see that the first games are not even over yet and I'm already second guessing my drafting! Basically I've drafted Beauchemin in a few other leagues since he appears, along with Kaberle, to be the go to guy on the Toronto blueline as far as offense goes. This is the first time he's been given this type of opportunity and has looked great in the preseason as the trigger man on the power play.

So the league I'm in counts only points with a bonus point for PPP. I'm considering dropping Hainsey (is he behind Enstrom and Kubina for power play time?) or Martin, who should run the NJ PP with Parise.

Thoughts? I'm tentative since I got burned last season by dropping Kuba before the season started for Sami Salo........you all know how that turned out.

I am no expert but Martin on NJs PP doesnt do much for me...I can see him scoring 35 points but thats it...I think Beauchemin can creep towards 50. I drop Martin...I also have high hopes for Atlanta's PP. I think Atlanta's 2nd PP Unit will be better then NJs first (haha)

I would keep Martin, he is in a contract year and could finally step up. He is the PP QB in NJ and there is not much competition for him there. Hainsey is a question mark in my books with Kubina, Enstrom and Bogosain all playing ahead of him. Beauchemin should see time with Kaberle on the top unit. IMO Beau should get much more of an opportunity compared to Hainsey.

Drop Hainsey!

Good luck with your choice.
