    There's no way I'd drop Voracek for him. In a keeper league, I'd probably not drop either.
    In a one-year, you could ride the hot hand and go with him, but I think I'd probably sit tight.

    thanks!! would you consider dropping Read? I don't want to drop Voracek but its unreal that hes slipped to the third line again.

    I don't think I'd do it. But Saku has been clicking. Is the waiver wire deep enough where you'll have a replacement for if/when Saku comes back to earth (or gets hurt)?

    Don't even think about it. Both those Philly guys are young and with upside still. Yeah, Koivu's been playing very well, but he'll slow down....there can't be tons of gas left in that tank.

    Don't do it.

    Nope, stick with what you have. Koivu will slow down eventually he's capable of scoring in bursts but the game just isn't there anymore enough to sustain this level.

    If you're focusing just on this year, I would maybe consider dropping Read for him, and then dropping Koivu when the hot streak ends for whoever is streaking at the time. But I would definitely hold onto Voracek....he's turning his season around a bit lately.
