    I think Whitney is your better option if you're going for the win. He might get hurt, but he's a great gamble with that Oilers offence. Go for the Home Run.
    Weekly H2H points only (Year 9 - 2015-16)
    12 teams limited keeper (keep 6 + 1 Rookie)
    13 round draft - Unlimited Trades - No Waivers - No IR
    4 Team Playoffs (last 2 reg. season weeks)
    Rookies are 23 years old or younger in the draft year and never reached 60pts (forward), 40pts (defense), 25 wins (goalie)


    Start : C RW LW Utility D D G
    Points : A - G = 1 pt W = 2 pts SO = 1pt

    C - S.Stamkos, J.Thornton, K.Turris, D.Stepan
    LW - O.Palat, B.Saad, A.Burakovsky
    RW - B.Wheeler, T.Toffoli, C.Atkinson
    D - E.Karlsson, S.Gostisbehere, C.Fowler, A.Ekblad, A.Larsson

    Whitney - proven to be capable. Proven to be injury prone (world's strangest feet)

    Voynov - Stanley Cup, slowly developed, remarkably secure as a blueline option for being a young guy. Great upside... not nearly so proven...

    No correct answer here. Me, probably Voynov, but my view has been tarnished by participating in a couple of cap pools.

    Lets see:
    Voynov - limited NHL experience
    Doughty - star or super star?
    Kopi - star or super star?
    Carter - needs rebound
    Richards - needs rebound
    Brown - should be in 60 point window

    or
    Eberle - did point-a-game once
    Hall - nice in the AHL, but didn't run away
    Yak - no NHL experience
    Schultz - no NHL experience
    Hemsky - injuries?
    Whitney - injuries?

    As far as teammates are concerned, for the coming year, I'll risk with the LA bunch. The Edmonton bunch is AWESOME, but a few years from being at the top of their top.

    Whitney is always hurt. I have to go with Voynov by default.

    Give me Whitney.

    Voynov is stuck behind Doughty and Martinez on the PP chart. Whitney will be starting the year on PP1 and my guess is he'll end there as well. While he has an injury history, he's had extra time to rehab and has stated that he is fully recovered and excited to get back playing.

    Trying to make a run, I would roll the die on Whitney. Whitney if healthy could put up some really good numbers this season.

    Coach K already said Shultz and RNH manning the points on the first unit. He is looking at PP 2 with Petry.

    Still could put up good numbers for sure, though

    I'd go Voynov personally, but that's because I love his game. He just won't score as many goals as whitney.

    Dobber mentioned Whitney being on a contract year... and if he sits out a nice chunk of this seaon, he can kiss goodbye any future loot.

    I think he'll play his heart out this short season... he's excited, healthy and refreshed... and I'd actually bet we see an injury to Hall and/or RNH before Whitney misses time - even if Ryan has to play through pain to make bank.

    I would NOT touch him with a 10-foot pole if looking to future (beyond 2013), but I think he is a steal for this short season... he will get 1st line even strength, some PP1, lots of PP2, and if he succeeds on PP (like two seasons ago) before Schultz locks up his career post at the EDM point, I could easily see 35-38 points in 46 games for Mr. Whitney.

    No, IIRC LA uses 4 + 1 on their PP1, so only Doughty gets the prime minutes. Voynov and Martinez run PP2. Barring injury, neither will see PP1 time this year.
