Different opinions. I think RNHs upside is to hit 90 consistently. I don't think Benn and Getz can. The way I look at an upside range is the low number is what they can do consistently, the high number what they could do if everything went right. So for Nuge I think 90 (will do consistently after offseason surgery to fix that shoulder) - 100 (the year hall finally puts up 50 goals). For Getz I think his upside is 70 (what he will always do) - 90 (that year everything went right). For Benn 78 (Should always be about PPG) - 85. Ergo, RNH has a much higher upside but is less proven.

Thanks everyone for the input. The offer right now is Getzlaf and E.Kane for RNH. I like the offer, but Getz is putting up points consistantly and that carries a lot of value for wining this year. Plus I really like Getz. His only hang up is that he already has Perry and Ryan and doesn't want to be overstacked with one team.

I realize Nuge has huge upside, but I don't want to lose sight of this years goal... Wining.

Another option would be be making this a two for two deal where I would land Perry or Parise. I would probably have to include Benn in the deal, and I don't think I win that deal.

RNH would be last on this list for me and might not move up unless one of the other guys retires or dies (i hope this doesnt happen). he may have a higher "upside" but really that should only be factored in to break a tie when deciding between two relatively equal players. all the players on your list are his superior. As mentioned before, don't look beyond 2-3 years.
