Default Time to make a pitch for Nicklas Backstrom?

He's been out with a neck injury since December 26, sustained while playing for Dynamo Moscow in the KHL.

I regret refusing an offer to acquire him, last season when he had concussion issues.

Would you give up a high draft pick (potentially yielding Yakupov ... if he slips)? Backstrom wouldn't normally be available in my league, and I would love to have him, but the injury scares me. Would you make a pitch?

Unless it was Yaks for certain, I'd do it

Even if it was Yakupov for certain I would do it.

Backstrom > Yakupov

Thanks for the input guys. I guess longterm injury shouldn't be a concern, when given the chance to acquire a player like Backstrom.

I feel like Backstrom is one of if not the most underrated players in fantasy hockey, and getting him at the price of Yakupov would be a steal.
