    Default Drop Goli or Burns for Visnovsky or Faulk?

    League in signature below. Time to let go of Goli and/or Burns?

    Visnovsky and Faulk are on waivers. Pick up either one or both of them for Goli/Burns?

    Visnovsky looked impressive with 6 SOG.
    Faulk is solid all around but may be restricted offensively at CAR for now.

    In a one-year, I'd probably make both of those moves (something just seems off with Burns and his recovery -- little time to waste in a 1 year waiting for him to come around).

    Anyone have any updates on Burns?

    Faulk seems to be becoming a well rounded all around performer.
    Do you think Vis will keep up his pretty good start?

    This is all I could find.

    Brent Burns was scratched after two games back because putting him in for the third game in his first four days active would have been a bit much. Now he has knocked the rust off and should be able to handle heavier minutes.

    Let's hope it's true.

    That's what I had heard as well.
    Might be early to give up on Burns. 3 games in 4 days ..makes sense to sit him since groin's a fussy thing. Give the guy at least 5 games before cutting bait I'd say (least that's my plan). He could well get that offense of SJ rolling again. Has a cannon from the point and he mixes it up pretty good too.
    Almost holding out more hope for him than Seabrook for my D pts right now.

    Faulk
    Goli
    That's how I would rank them as long as Burns is indeed healthy.

    Faulk
    Goli
    Like was said before me, assuming Burns is healthy and knocks the rust off, I'd have him at the top as well (I'd just hope he shows signs that the rust is, in fact, coming off sooner rather than later). And I also agree with having Goli at the bottom. But I'd put Faulk ahead of Vis in your league.

    Vis may outpoint Faulk by a few over the rest of the season (but not a given in my mind).

    Their +/- rating should also be fairly equal to one another, although Faulk may have the edge there. Faulk is currently a +6 in 12 games, and a nice slow and steady one at that -- only one "minus" game so far this season, in which he was a -1. Vis on the other hand might be a little more up and down as he's been a +2, -2 and +1 in his three games.

    SOGs will likely be pretty even as well. Both at about 2 per game right now; both could go a touch higher than that.

    But where I think Faulk gets the edge over Vis is in the hits and blocks departments. He just tends to lay the body a little more and has also upped his blocks per game compared to last season such that he's been a pretty nice contributor in that category for a player of his ilk. As others have noted plenty, Faulk is really developing into a quality all-around D-man who I think is more likely to consistently contribute to the various cats in league even if Vis does slightly out produce him in points from here on out.

    So I'd rank them:

    Burns
    Faulk
    Vis
    Goli

    Forgot to throw Carlson in there. He won't get many points but he gets lots of SOG and blocks. Seems to be throwing in decent amount of hits too
