I\'m in a H2H yahoo keeper league and I need some help with my final submissions. Which 2 of these 3 players would you protect:

Tim Connolly
Chris Neil
Antero Niittymaki

I like Connolly\'s upside, but he is pretty injury prone. As long as I can make my league\'s playoffs (last few weeks of the NHL regular season) and Connolly is healthy for that, I think he could be worth the risk. Neil is my best PIM guy (I think he was top 5 in the league last year) and he also contributes a few shots and points every now and then. Niittymaki lost his job in Philly, but good goaltending in my league is pretty scarce (I have Lehtonen, Khabibulin, and Harding on my farm team) and Nitty could be traded or steal the job from Biron (I hope).

Which 2 would you take?

I\'d take Connolly and Niittymaki...

If goaltending\'s scarce, you can\'t afford to just drop a goalie...

Connolly is worth gambling on (especially since buffalo will likely be 1 center shorter next year)...

While Neil is good for penalty minutes, he\'s not a 50-60+ point 100+ penalty minute guy... You can find any old thug on the waiver wire that will get you 100+ pim, so unless you really think Neil will get the points, I\'d lose him...

cronox do yourself a favour and get rid of all these guys, drop all three, and protect somebody else or leave a spot open for a waiver wire pick-up. Connolly will be nothing short of a waste of a roster spot next season. I just think you could pick somebody else up that will better Connolly in points and might not get injured as much. Those are just my thoughts. But also on the other hand you could protect him and trade him to someone who is a BUF fan and someone that might over-pay for him..

I agree with Lanky on Chris Neil. Thuggs are everywhere in the waiver wire. And Nittymaki, well he\'s a bonified back-up now.

I agree with Zorro. From a Fantasy perspective I don\'t care to own any of the three players.

If you really, really have to choose two. I would go with Connolly and Neil.

Connoly as the best upside on the group. Neil is a good guy to have on your keeper league if you count PIM and goals for that king of players. Niitymaki will be a backup in the NHL...

I really think I will take a chance on Connoly only and let go the 2 others. They have no value at all. You\'ll be better trying to pick an other player.
