I am in a 10 team 5 player keeper league,Strictly points.
I have the first pick and managed to obtain pick #4 and 6.Wondering who should I pick with the #1 pick.

These are the best available.

Jonathan Cheechoo
Simon Gagne
Anze Kopitar
Paul Stastny
Michael Cammalleri

I was leaning torwards Gagne but was suprised to see Cheechoo and Cammalleri available.Thanks for youre opinion in advance.

Oh lordy what a delightful problem - you are going to get 2 of this lot. I am a big Gagne fan for this year but this situation really begs deep consideration.

I guess there is no premium for goals aor special teams points - just total points - I think likely Gagne, Cheech and Cammer are all going to hit the high 80\'s or low 90\'s mark this year. Does position play a factor in your decision? If not, I likely would go Cheech, Gagne then Cammer but it is soooo close for me that any other order is arguable.

Good luck with this.

But for long term keeper, Cammalleri and Kopitar would go up on this list.

I would go with Kopitar any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The guy is going to be putting up massive numbers for years to come. And he\'s only 20. If it weren\'t for that injury late in the season last year he would have been a Calder finalist for sure. You can\'t go wrong with any of those guys but Kopitar has the most individual talent of the lot.

I think I would put up Kopitar first on this list.. He will be centering Cammalerri and Frolov and will be the 1st center on that team for many years to come. I would then take Gagne/Cheechoo with Cammalerri next and then Stastny.

Shoeless is so right: \&quot;Oh lordy what a delightful problem\&quot;. How can\'t you be smiling ear to ear with this so called \&quot;problem\&quot;

Always a good thread to read and offer an opinion..

Kopitar....this guy is a gem...and the fact that LA signed better players around this team will help his totals alot this year.....forget the other guys and pick this guy!

I think that you should take kopitar 1 and cammel 4th, this will be a good line combination for at least this year.

With 1, 4, &amp; 6 there is a good chance you may even end up with 3 of these guys.

Take Kopitar and then let the others come to you.
