Jumbo Joe worth my #1 waiver?
Thornton was just dropped in my 1 year league, and I have the #1 waiver priority. My weakest players (who I would consider dropping for him) are RNH and Eichel.

Re: Jumbo Joe worth my #1 waiver?
Not sure. Although I'm not too hip on rookies in a 1-year I don't think I would drop Eichel, that is assuming the S in your sig means Shots. Between RNH and Thornton, I would go RNH, again due to Shots. You get boned on the +/- column with Eichel and RNH but that's about it.
Would love to see the rest of your team.
Re: Jumbo Joe worth my #1 waiver?
I thought I stole Thornton in the 6th round of my pool, but he's been a huge disappointment so far. Having said that, I think he will turn it around soon enough.
In your particular league with all those cats, I think he's even less valuable. I wouldn't burn if a #1 if you have to drop Eichel.
Re: Jumbo Joe worth my #1 waiver?
He tends to be a slow starter. Strong mid year and decent end year, and then back to slow in the playoffs.Originally Posted by blayze

Re: Jumbo Joe worth my #1 waiver?
Slow starter or not, I'd avoid him. He barely shoots the puck, doesn't score much and I don't imagine his +/- being anything spectacular. With your categories he's not a great option. May put up some points but I think you find offense elsewhere (or keep what you have).

With a username like that I guess I'll have to take your word!
Re: Jumbo Joe worth my #1 waiver?
I wouldn't add him. You'd be losing your top waiver pick and he doesn't provide a lot of goals and shots. I'd keep Eichel and Nuge
Re: Jumbo Joe worth my #1 waiver?
Agreeing with the majority here. He's on my team and I wish I could trade him for a broken stick and three practice pucks. He might end up with 50 points, but so will 15 guys on our FA list. Keep what you've got.
