Default Sell high on Souray?

Off to a great start and is a monster when healthy, but injury issues are always a concern.

Sell high and try to get good value from him now?

As I said a week or so ago, I think the idea of "selling high" only works if you have the right people in your league. In my league, people are naturally going to be skeptical of trading anything special for Souray since everyone has that same "he is doing great but he always gets hurt" mentality. Souray is tearing it up and so I would not trade him unless it was for something really good, and that just would not happen in either of my leagues. If you have managers in your league that are willing to trade a top player for him and you do not trust Souray to stay healthy, give it a whirl, but make sure you get something good back!

Even if I could trade him, not sure I would. Nothing worse than trading someone and having them tear it up the rest of the season. Sure, he may get hurt, but I think I am willing to take the risk.

Do it...remember all the times you have said to yourself "I knew I shouda, coulda but didn't"

If there was ever a best time to move him it's now!!! You can disguise it as "I need help in my F's or G's so I am forced to make this move". "Sure wish I didn't have to do this but..."

The situation cannot be better! I just moved Spezza last week for Visnovski...same thing...but buying low with a BB player that was soaring.

Lastly, the probability you will regret moving Souray at the end of the year is less than the probability of him getting injured again.

Souray produces cause A.) he is on a quality offensive club/PP unit and B.) cause he has an absolute cannon...neither of these factors are changing and therefore until one does neither will his production by any appreciable extent. Playing it safe on guys who have big upside and are playing to that upside is never the right move. Hold on to Sheldon the Hammer.
