keeper league, points only and there are no positional requirements.

I\'m trying to sell richards high and buy vanek low.. is this a good deal for me? any thoughts would really help, thanks guys.

I don\'t know, Richards is just as good as Vanek and he\'s doing better. You\'d have to get more if you were buying low. Richards has 100 point potential.

thanks for your input, this is exactly what i am wrestling with and why i needed some second and third opinions.

richards will outscore vanek, year in year out, with no positional requirements and no bonus points for PP, GWG why make this move keep richards

i disagree, its only a matter of time before richards slows down, he had a good start he could get 90, but thats at a C position where there is lots of deapth. vanek is at a LW position where u go past the first 10 LW\'s theres really not that many solid players, try and get vanek for richards if you can. also depends on how long the league is, vanek is much younger.

I have to politely disagree here: First off he said there were no positional requirements which nullifies the advantage of a left winger. Secondly why does Richards have to tail off? He is only 27, hasn\'t missed a game in 3 full seasons and is producing with questionable linemates. Imo his stock can only go up from here, whereas Vanek really only has one huge season under his belt and his whole line steps into a defined top unit role where they will be harassed more and checked harder by opponents. I\'d say under most circumstances Vanek could be the better of the two but I like Richards in your league...

Keep 12.

As an owner of both, I would originally have said Vanek.

Hot + slow starts aside though, Richards is a bit more proven. He\'s a 1st-line center on most teams, plays on a vicious PP, and also gets shorthanded time. As is mentioned, Vanek is a future 90+ point player in my eyes, but he\'s got his steps to take. The only real strike against Richards are his linemates and \"2nd line time\".
