    Default Need an 8th winger.

    Pool format.

    10 team keeper. G(slight goal heavy weighting) A PTS +/- PPG SHG PM(1 per 10)
    Cap next year is 80 mil (actual salary)

    we keep 4 c 8 w 6 d 3 g.

    I just finished my rebuild year at middle of the pack after a 3 peat championship run.

    Locked in at C with Stepan Giroux Spezza and Backstrom (all lovely salaries)
    Comfy at D with Karlsson, Schultz, Goligoski, Elliot, Barrie, Gardiner (again all lovely salaries, with our cap and point structure a 30 point d at under a mil is a very nice piece)
    Comfy in net with Lundy, Lehner, Dubnyk (total year stats minimum 25 games to qualify)

    So that leaves my gaping 8th winger spot to fill.

    I have to date. Ovy, Kessell, Hall, JVR, Huberdeau, Landeskog, Bjugstad(yes i snuck him through at wing). I realize i'll most likely free agent or late acquire a older ray whitney type to play over bjugstad for the final push but i dont see the point in protecting that when its dirt cheap in our pool and bjugstad has home run potential and a tiny little salary.

    So I had Benn in this spot but dealt him pretty much for Drouin. I'm hopeful Drouin will fill that spot nicely after our draft but i'm still left without a keeper.

    On my roster to choose from i have Zuccarrello, Stone, Laich, and Burns who's a W in our pool based on our dual eligible D rule.

    My thoughts is i dont want any of those. I WAS about to offer Chico for Iginla today but read his post and commented honestly and fubar'd any chance of getting a sweet heart deal on the old man.

    SO i'm left with a few options.

    Rep to the guy who helps me figure my mind out.

    I can go acquire cheaply (which is the key to me)

    Elias
    Selanne
    Jagr
    Brouwer
    maybe Atkinson
    Brown
    Backas
    Connolly (Brent)
    Terravainen
    Franson
    Tanguay
    Beck
    MPS
    Fleischman
    Okposo
    Clowe
    Burmistrov
    Hagelin
    Heatley
    Pouliot
    and probably
    Tatar
    or Kreider (just trying to guess on Chico's thinking)

    Who do i target?
    Why?

    Like i said. Rep for the person or people who help me figure out my path here.

    I would take Okposo. He is signed for another 3 years at $2.8 million. He is a bit of a gamble and his strong play-offs could have been a fluke, but there´s a chance he´s finally turning into that 60+ point player he was supposed to be.

    If he can really reach that, his salary will be quite nice compared to the other options on the list.

    I would seriously consider Atkinson. At under a mil you get young projected top 6 forward with upside. He seems to be a favorite around the Dobber Community as well. Bit of a gamble but with such a low salary (and assuming you can get him for cheap) he may be worth it

    Thanks to Penguin i've moved Giroux to W from C and i'll keep Tyler Johnson for now. Not optimal for a team looking for the cup but it'll suffice i suppose.

    Any other idea's please let me have em.
