    Default Everyone wants my Benn

    League and team details are in my signature.

    Tonight is Benn's first game back and I have had multiple managers approach me about what they would have to offer to take him off my hands. So I'm looking for a quick rank on a couple players for this year and going forward.

    Benn
    Ovechkin
    Parise
    Toews
    Kopitar
    Hall
    Seguin

    I plan on winning this year, so I don't want to take a huge drop off. But I am noticing some big hype for Benn's return. Might be able to cash in.

    I would like a guy like Seguin back.
    And let them make the first offer and work from there.
    You're not shopping him around, they want him so I think you could have the upper hand in a trade.
    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
    G - C.Hellebuyck, D.Dubnyk, A.Niemi, K.Lehtonen

    Benn isnt guaranteed to be playing tonight. His immigration paperwork isnt completed yet. He needs it good to go by 5pm tonight or he wont be playing.

    Oops, sorry about that. Pretty much. As far as my rankings go, Hall, Seguin
    and Benn could all be interchanged as they could all end up right around the same point total I believe. I dont expect OV to exceed any of those other players. You can put him on the bottom of my list.

    Ovechkin is not on my list. He's such a wild-card.
    If I was drafting him in a points-only... I'd probably take him over Kopitar.

    from that list, i would keep benn. all of those guys have the potential to finish at a point per game, give or take... so it is close.

    Jagr - Benn - Eriksson

    Sounds a lot like a pretty deadly line from last year.

    Jagr - Giroux - Hartnell

    Any chance Benn explodes like Giroux did last year?

    It should be a very, very good line.
    Benn is a 70-75pt player with those guys at full health for a full year.

    EDIT: I just revisited a thread I made on Benn as one of five players I was "torn on" for this coming season.
    I had predicted Benn for 73pts... so I'll stay consistent.

    benn was a point per game player last year when he lined up with eriksson.
    the only reason he fell from this pace was that he was asked to play with ott and burrish for a large stretch of games because ribeiro was too incompetent to play with anything but top wingers in a protected role without drastically hurting the team. benn also had limited powerplay time. this season benn will have two top six wingers and a regular shift on the top powerplay unit. i think he is as likely as anyone on your list to reach point per game status.

    I appreciate hearing from someone who obiously watches a lot of Stars games.

    I picked up Benn with my 3rd overall pick with full intention of trying to use him to acquire Ovechkin or Toews. But the more I talk to people about it, the more I'm not so sure that I should be targeting those two. Potentially just keeping Benn for myself and consider moving Getzlaf or Kovy in the summer instead.

    I have had an offer sitting on the table to the OV owner.

    I give: Benn

    I get: Ovechkin and his 2nd round pick

    Should I be pulling it off the table before he accepts, or is that a good deal for me if he does.

    My other thought is that he has Doughty as well. I know that he's frustrated and doesn't like him anyways. Should I change the offer to include both OV and Doughty?

    Clarify:

    1. Do I leave the Benn for OV and a 2nd on the table?
    2. Do I replace it with a Benn and another player(Havlat, Alfie, Horton) for OV and Doughty?
    3. Back away from all of the above?
