League and team details are in my signature.

Tonight is Benn's first game back and I have had multiple managers approach me about what they would have to offer to take him off my hands. So I'm looking for a quick rank on a couple players for this year and going forward.

Benn
Ovechkin
Parise
Toews
Kopitar
Hall
Seguin

I plan on winning this year, so I don't want to take a huge drop off. But I am noticing some big hype for Benn's return. Might be able to cash in.

I would like a guy like Seguin back.
And let them make the first offer and work from there.
You're not shopping him around, they want him so I think you could have the upper hand in a trade.

Benn isnt guaranteed to be playing tonight. His immigration paperwork isnt completed yet. He needs it good to go by 5pm tonight or he wont be playing.

"#DallasStars need to have Jamie Benn's immigration paperwork done by 5 pm et to get him on active roster for tonight. Via @StarsInsideEdge"


If I was to rank these guys in a points only format for this year:

Parise
Toews
Kopitar
Benn
Hall
Seguin

Ovechkin left off the list on purpose?

Oops, sorry about that. Pretty much. As far as my rankings go, Hall, Seguin
and Benn could all be interchanged as they could all end up right around the same point total I believe. I dont expect OV to exceed any of those other players. You can put him on the bottom of my list.

Parise
Seguin
Kopitar
Benn
Toews
Hall

Ovechkin is not on my list. He's such a wild-card.
If I was drafting him in a points-only... I'd probably take him over Kopitar.

"Jamie Benn's immigration issues have been resolved. He will be playing tonight on a line with Jagr and Eriksson."

from that list, i would keep benn. all of those guys have the potential to finish at a point per game, give or take... so it is close.

Jagr - Benn - Eriksson

Sounds a lot like a pretty deadly line from last year.

Jagr - Giroux - Hartnell

Any chance Benn explodes like Giroux did last year?

It should be a very, very good line.
Benn is a 70-75pt player with those guys at full health for a full year.

EDIT: I just revisited a thread I made on Benn as one of five players I was "torn on" for this coming season.
I had predicted Benn for 73pts... so I'll stay consistent.
