    Default Do you prefer Ovechkin or Burns as a keeper in a keep-6, points-only league?

    For the league in my sig
    Points only - Weekly lineups 9F 4D 1G

    I could flip Ovechkin for Burns (+ a marginal pick upgrade).
    After some draft scenarios and calculations, if I put Ovechkin at 81 points and Burns at 68 points (my projections), I find that this is pretty even in total points at the end of the draft if I keep Ovechkin (and draft 1 more D) or I trade for Burns (and draft 1 more F).

    So, my question is down to: Do you prefer Ovechkin or Burns as a keeper in a keep-6, points-only league? Wich one is the safer bet?

    Thanks!

    I'm honestly going Burns here. Most of Ovie's value is tied to multicast leagues. As an aside though, I'm surprised to see you keeping ROR and Radulov over Schneider or even Yandle.

    I think it is almost even! Tough call!

    1) I'm not keeping 2 goalies. Only Holtby and Price will be kept. And at the end of the draft, about 20 G will be drafted. We dress only 1 G weekly. So some teams goes in the season with only 1 and look on the wire if an injury occurs.

    2) O'Reilly or Radulov or Yandle: That's another debate (For now, it's the Forwards. Could change my mind before draft day.).

    Burns by far. Your defense is suspect with no keepers.

    Schneider isn't getting any interest?

    Done deal!
    I give Ovechkin
    I receive Burns, a 5th round pick and a FA pick up (we get only 2 to start the year).

    Just want to say thank you to Dobberhockey and his great members!!!
    Man, am I happy with that trade when I look at today's numbers!!!
    I was putting Ovie at 81 and Burns at 68... Could flip the names here...
    By far my best trade since Benn for Crosby (and I think Ovie vs Burns is still better).
    THANKS!!!
