Default Drop Brodeur for Price, Burrows for Brassard?

Do I drop Brodeur for Price and Burrows for Brassard?

I'm in a one year league, wins are 2 points, shutouts an extra one. Someone might very well grab Brodeur right away if I drop him. That's a hard move for me to make, because I drafted him high and he's been my go to 'never let me down' pick for years and years. Is this a good move? Brodeur has been a rock for so long and it's hard for me to believe he won't turn it around. NJ IS a mess, though....

I've got Lundqvist and Thomas, so I'm safely benching Brodeur at the moment.

Burrows for Brassard is a little easier to swallow, but is Burrows close to finding his game? The guy is taking plenty of shots, but he's just not producing, and Brassard has looked good for a dozen games or so.

I'd really appreciate any input or opinions you guys could offer. I'm starting to drop in the standings...

I would have made the move to Price from Brodeur about a week ago. Even if Brodeur heals up and gets back on track, the Devils are a mess. With max goalie games, I think Price fits like a glove - 3 shutouts in his last 6 games - you gotta do that.

I think in your league you don't mess around with maybe performers - ride the hot hand - Brassard is producing at the rate I hope Burrows might get to - go for that one too.

Thanks Shoeless. I've picked up Brassard, but I'm still waffling a bit on Brodeur. I should do it, but I keep thinking "it's Marty Brodeur! How can he not right the ship?!" You don't think after NJ gets healthy they could be fantastic again?

I can't believe Price is still available, but I can't imagine that'll last for long...

Injuries and a terrible team at the moment. Price is looking great, I am surprised he is still around. I would make that move.

Burrows will get there, Brassard is there. The only down side to Brassard is his injury risk

Come on Filly - this isn't about Brodeur righting the ship anymore - this is about you picking up the goalie who leads the league in wins and shutouts. Put your frigging waffle iron away.

Shoeless is right. If you can drop a struggling, showing his age, injured goalie on a team that is a mess facing the Flyers and the Pens all season for a young up and coming, 3 shut outs in 6 games goalie playing on a hot team in a weak division you do it.

Put the names away and study the stats. It isn't dropping Brodeur for Price it's dropping the weaker goalie this year for the stronger one.

Thanks, guys. I made the move a handful of hours ago, then later thought "I can't believe I just dropped Martin Brodeur!" I respect all of your opinions greatly, so thank you for making me feel good about the move.
