So any thoughts on Vanek from here out?

Thanks

With Varlamov coming back soon, who do you think I should drop, S Mason or Halak. My other goalies are Luongo and Howard.

Also, I tend to keep one roster spot open for players on hot streaks, the latest being Ryan Shannon. Are there any other low key players out there i might look to during the stretch run>?

My team currently:
F - Ovie, Kopitar, Lecavalier, Sharp, Ribeiro, Morrow, Pominville, Kostitsyn, McDonald
D - Goligoski, Letang, Wideman, Gilbert, Ballard, Bieksa (IR)
G - Thomas, Fleury

As you can tell my d corps is pretty awful. Can I get by with this? Or should I try shopping Kopitar or even Ovie? If I could trade Ovie for a package including a guy like Boyle should I go for it?

Appreciate it!

I have the possibility to pick up Troy Brouwer in our league? We follow the NHL cap and only count points and plus minus. What is you opinion on him and his he worth the pickup? He is on the top line right now but will that last?

Thanks.

I am currently in second last place and falling from grace. I am wondering what I should do with my add/drop. Do I pick up a Penner, Afinoganov, Malone, Fisher, Hartnell and a slew of other people I probably will not protect for next year's roster or do I go for the prospect? Current players available for my add/drop that listed on Dobber's prospect list are Benn, Turris, Hodgson, Boedker, M. Backlund, Eberle and pretty much everone on that list below Eberle.

Any words of wisdom and useful advise?

I can also tell you that my team did look better at the start of the year and I traded away Letang, Pronger, Huselius, McCabe and A. Kosti tsyn for 2nd, 3rd and 4th round draft picks next year (and the other team's garbage) as I would not have been able to protect any of them except for Letang.

Cheers!

Would you rather have Kiprusoff or Varlamov?

Would you rather have Vokoun or Howard?

Which of Thomas, Huet or Rask would you want?

Thanks!

What do you think of this trade. 20 team keeper league points only.

I receive: Kessel/Grabovski/Greene

He receives: Eriksson/Stafford/Poti

Your thoughts are appreciated.
