    Default Brunner For Vrbata

    Straight up, keepers aside, who would you rather? Keep in mind Vrbata is on the IR and I will pick someone up in the meantime.

    I would definitely take Brunner here. He has the better situation going forward and he's younger than Vrbata.

    Agree with this. Much better situation is the key here.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid

    I agree with the others.

    I'm a fan of Vrbata, but we've seen what he is and the real benefit of owning him comes from the value where you can normally get him. Brunner is much more intriguing in this scenario.

    Brunner. Vrbata has not been playing. There will be an adjustment period.
    Even when he does adjust I wouldn't expect last year's pace.
