[Cage Match Tournament] #8 Thornton vs. #9 Iginla
 

The inaugural Cage Match Tournament is here! Each week you will vote for the player you would most like to have on your team in a points only keeper league (no positions involved). The poll will be added pending the introduction article on the main page.

Psyched? You had better be!

Wow, Thornton ahead by x2... Iginla is the king of multi-cats!

Value in a points only keeper is the scenario in which we are working

Joe Thorton

I'm surprised Thornton leads by this much. He only has 3 more points since the start of 07-08 season.

That's the beauty of MD's set up. The notion of Value in a keeper is a multi-faceted determination, simultaneously employing concepts such as upside, age, depth charts, 3YP.....and that will ultimately have a subjective or irrational component to it (eg name recognition)


Far more interesting...imo..then a ranking strictly based on upside per se.

Thorton is the clear choice here imo...

Only 1 of These Guys Is Mr. 500
 

That'd be Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla. When your name's this big, they call you Mr! All kidding aside, though, Iginla has more points, more goals... Joe takes only PIM and +/- cleanly.

Get this peripheral category talk outta here! :D

Seriously though, this battle is about points only, don't want people biasing their opinions on irrelevant information.
