    Default Once & for All: Keep Buff or Pacman?

    Second league in sig.

    I've got Buff as my 5th guy. Should I change my mind?

    Positions are volatile with Buff, if he keeps RW/D then he's great to slot in for your D, but if he loses D eligibility then you have 1 C, 3 RW, 1G. Better to keep Pacioretty IMO, despite Buff's huge hit totals

    Yeah, I would keep Pacioretty here too. Byfuglien is going to be a RW, and won't score the Goals Patches will score. Need for LW, Byfuglien's positional situation, Patches goal-scoring ability in a league with extra Goal category, durability all factors in leading me to believe Pacioretty is the better choice here.

    See if Buff can garner some action on the trade market. I'd move Patches + Buff for an upgrade at LW.

    Tough call. My choice would be between Staal and Buff. Like Petegreg says, it all depends whether Buff keeps that D eligibility.

    Keepers are due Sunday because we're expanding the league to 12 teams. There's basically no chance to trade anymore. It's one or the other. As much as I respect Staal, I just can't justify keeping him over either of these guys.

    I'd be comfortable with Patches. Very tough call. Most signs suggest Buff is a winger now and might cap out at 54-57 points.
    Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.

    Tough one...I understand your plight. That said...big buff appears to be back at forward and head to head with patches...I gotta say patches...slightly. Both are physical...buff a little more so but I see patches as a cemented offensive force up front. Until buff stops shifting I give the edge to Pacman

    Pacioretty or Yandle - I don't like the risk of Byfuglien shifting back and forth.

    Sorry Savvy1982, I should've updated my sig. I no longer own Yandle. I traded him and Crawford for a 1st and 8th. Needless to say I under performed in the playoffs by not even making the finals and got stuck with a lot of assets I've tried to sell off.
