    Default Pick Up Brent Burns?

    Burns is listed as a D despite playing as a forward for the Sharks. It looks like he's got good linemates, TOI, and PP time, so I would think he's have to out-produce even good defensemen. Is he worth picking up for my team? Whom would you drop? I would lose Mike Green, but he plays TB, Car, Fla, and NYI next week. I think Emery is a logical choice, although Chi has two B2B next week, all against Nashville.

    Burns should not be available in any league.
    A day after slotting into forward, he should have been scooped in every league.

    A forward eligible for a defense slot... ummm GOLD jerry... GOLD!

    Even without the forward eligibility he should be owned. The guy is ultra talented, he just can't stay healthy. The injuries may prevent him from being a keeper, but he should be a waiver wire add in every league.
    10-team Keeper. Everyone keeps 12 + 1 G + 3 "young keepers" (players with less than 164 NHL games played), and 1G. Points for G (2), A (2), PIM (.2), Hit (.2), Blk (.2) SHP(1), W(4), SO(8) Must dress 4C, 4LW, 4RW, 6D, 2G

    C - Crosby, Backstrom, Kuznetsov, Eichel, Johansen
    LW - E. Kane, Drouin, Schenn, Miller, Foligno, Zucker
    RW - Wheeler, Stone, Lindholm, Oshie, Tolvanen
    D - Karlsson, Carlson, Dumba, Nurse, Ceci, Pionk, Larsson, Montour
    G - Murray, Quick, Koskinen, Blackwood, Georgiev

    Minors - Turcotte, Bouchard, Kaprizov

    I'd definitely grab Burns. Drop either Emery or Martin whichever you prefer. I grabbed him right away and have been loving the production from a D roster spot.
