I can\'t afford to miss games, so I\'m jumping ship now on Havlat. He\'s not tradable in a 10 Team league.

Here are some FA stats that I use to help me decide:

Player Name
Fantasy Points (FP)
Fantasy Points Per Game Played (FPG)

*Noting that:
5.00 FPG = Elite
3.00 FPG = Top 30
2.75 FPG = Top 50
2.15 FPG = Top 100


TEAM-POS Player (FP) (FPG)

BUF-RW Kotalik (83.20) (2.56)
BUF-RW Pominville (76.40) (2.23)
CLS-RW Zherdev (73.15) (2.14)
DET-RW Cleary (77.25) (2.08)
MIN-RW,C PM Bouchard (71.40) (2.04)
FLA-RW,C Horton (72.10) (1.98)
NYI-RW Satan (63.95) (1.88)
NYI-RW Guerin (61.65) (1.86)
DET-RW,C Hudler (57.05) (1.58)
NSH-RW Radulov (50.95) (1.54)
PHI-RW Hartnell (46.10) (1.43)

I would choose Kotalik based on the numbers, but I worry when I look at Kotalik\'s history. Maybe Pominville just has more upside?

I see a lot posted here about Horton and Radulov, but the numbers just don\'t seem to pan out compared some other players available.

Horton and Radulov are terrific keeper options, but they won´t bring you the win in a one year.

Why is Havlat not tradeable??

I mean that no manager is interested is trading for Havlat, given that there are some decent FA RW players available and he\'s prone to injury.

He\'s playing at close to PPG pace, but his fantasy value per game would actually put him 3rd on that list above.

Well you answered my question. 3rd on that list really isn\'t good enough if they are your free agents. And I can see why he is untradable the guy needs to play hockey wrapped in bubble wrap. I think Pominville is the better bet to pick p this year since I think he will continue his pace. I was never sold on Kotalik, a lot of hype surrounds him but he doesn\'s ever seem to produce on a constant basis. It would be my move anyhow...

Can I stop digging yet?

Yeah sorry and not one name jumps at me. Frankly I wonder about 1 of the 2 Wings - with both Holmstrom and Zetts on the limp they are going to get a bump up in ice time and line level I think. This would seem to be rolling the dice time - safety says Pomms - far out gamble to get hot - Rads or Zherdev. I did wonder about Meittinen

I am glad my only bandaid guy is Gagne - it is such a pain to work around these guys.

Meittinen is available, but he doesn\'t seem to get much pp time, which is crtical for fantasy points in our league. I don\'t see him being an significant impact this year.

keep an eye on scotty walker.
he could take William\'s spot in CAR depth chart
