If its a straight points league i would take Kopitar. His prowess is unmatched.

Toews is a secondary scorer on the Hawks, Kopitar is that man on the Kings.

Jack Johnson and Drew Doughty are only getting better with there passing and shooting. There PP is amazing. Take Kopitar and if you dont i will be sure to refresh this page at the end of the season when Kopi has over 90 points and Toews has around 75.

Screwed myself pretty bad this go around as I missed the draft.

Lucky I set some sort of pre-draft top 50 player list, so I got a couple decent players. Since then I have tried to scrounge up some possible sleepers to get a partially respectable team. Anyways, I am looking to possibly add/drop a couple players. The league has 15 teams, so there is not much out there...

Those I am considering dropping are:

F Ville Leino, Phi F

F Ryan Malone, TB F

F Andrew Brunette, Min F

F Andrei Kostitsyn, Mon F

F Raffi Torres, Van F (After Burrows returns)

Considering possibly picking up:

Scottie Upshall, Pho F

Magnus Paajarvi, Edm F

Mark Recchi, Bos F

Rich Peverley, Atl F

Michal Handzus, LA F

Antti Miettinen, Min F

J.P. Dumont, Nsh F

Shawn Horcoff, Edm F

Brandon Sutter, Car F

Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks a bunch in advance!!!

McBain already with an assist and over 7 minutes of ice time after the first period. Proud of him and confident that this is only the start of a great season from him

W, SO

This looses me a fantasy point

PIM (-1 per minute)

And San Jose is now compliant with league roster rules. I'll be lenient this time and give San Jose the points for today's games, but in the future I will be more strict with these rules.

Chicago will not be earning points for today's games though. They are still well over $5 million over the salary cap.
