I see votes but no comments. Show these guys some love!
Zetterberg
Hossa
The inaugural Cage Match Tournament is here! Each week you will vote for the player you would most like to have on your team in a points only keeper league (no positions involved). The poll will be added pending the introduction article on the main page.
Psyched? You had better be!
I'll bite...
Honestly, I voted for Hossa, and I'm thinking I'd want this vote back. In fact, I don't think I even had Zetts on my orig list to you (he says, somewhat embarrassed). Hossa, the name, just seems to ring a bell that fantasy GMs gravitate to, but when you look at the numbers they're pretty even in terms of points per game (Zetts: .93/game to Hossa: .92/game).
However, the edge goes to Zetterberg for reliability (71.5 games/season to Hossa's 68) and wear on the tires (NHL seasons played Zetts - 9 to Hossa - 14).
In that light I would have to give the vote to Zetterberg in a points only keeper league.

I haven't been around on the boards in a long time but I often look in when I have a spare second. This is an amazing idea and a perfect way to re-introduce myself to the best fantasy hockey community. I posting in the Zetterberg thread because I'm a lifelong Red Wings fan. However in this particular case, I voted for Hossa, razor thin, but points only give me Hossa
Thanks for the Cage Match! It's good to be back (have to change my sig lol)

I prefer Hossa here by a fair margin. I think his injury's over the last 3 years are way over blown when you consider how deep he went in the playoffs every year...
