    What are your thoughts on D Roy? He is now behind Benn in Dallas. Do you expect his productive to slip a bit?

    I have a rival GM who is interested in Stastny for him. Both are coming off sub par seasons. Who would you rather own for the league in my sig?

    Age is the deciding factor for me here....Roy is past his prime, Stastny hasn't hit it yet. Stick with Stastny for long term success.

    I would prefer Stastny too, but just barely. Pretty even overall.

    I'd also rather have Stastny over Roy.

    I'll go against the grain and pick Roy. I don't agree he's past his prime. He was close to a PPG player before his injury and I think there's enough quality wingers in Dallas (Eriksson, Jagr, Whitney, Benn) so that he can have good linemates.

    Stastny has been a 50-55 points producer in the last couple of years. I don't see any reason, except his potential, why he would go back to being a 70+ guy. If you believe it, then go for it, but I think most people will be disappointed.

    The age difference is only 2 years so it's not like you're picking a young gun over an old vet.

    Serious overstatement about being past his prime. Roy is 29 years old. He's had hard luck with injuries the past 2 seasons. Stastny the past two seasons has just been mediocre.

    It's close, but I'd go with Roy.

    I'd go with Roy.
    Players usually show a rejuvenation in a new location.
    I think Roy is going to play with some passion again... unlike the last couple years in Buffalo where he was stuck with Vanek & Pominville (not bad wingers, but things get "old" quickly when you aren't winning... and Ruff can be a hound).

    I'm pretty sure Roy & the Buffalo brass had a falling out, leading to the trade.
    Usually, the player is out to "prove 'em wrong" after that.

    Stastny is still in the "I can't believe they trade Chris Stewart"-funk.
    I think he'll be a decent player someday... outside of Colorado.
    But I wouldn't advice that anybody wait for that day.

    ROY.
