Default Brent Burns or Enstrom?

The kid who had Enstrom dropped him when he went on IR and he is still on the wire. I have just about had it with Burns. Would you drop Burns for Enstrom? It is a basic H2H league (we only keep 6, only D I would consider keeping is Edler and so none of these guys will be kept). I also have Del Zotto, but he has been on fire so probably going to give him some more time.

I like Burns as much as the next guy, but something just does not seem right. I am OK being giving him a little more time but wanted to see what you guys thought. Enstrom does not get many goals but already has almost as many points as Burns in far less games and it kills me having guys that good sitting on the wire.

Any thoughts?

Id take Enstrom here. If you don't have extra categories then he is definitely the better bet. I might even advise you keeping him over Edler at the end of the year....but we can leave that discussion for another day

What's the scoring format?

I'll be the first to admit that I was high as a kite on Burns at the start of the year and he's been a total bust so far. I'm counting on a big 2nd half turnaround for the Sharks studs, but at this point I'd take Enstrom over Burns if I had the choice.

I like Enstrom over Burns, easily. Back to back 50 point seasons for Enstrom, and he's showing no signs of slowing down. The team around him has gotten better and more prolific at scoring goals, so expect more of the same, if not better out of Enstrom. Burns is also a bit prone to injury.

Another one for Enstrom as well. The only way I would really consider is if goals are worth more then double assist's
