Default Drop Backstrom for Turris?

Turris has started strong and will be the #1 Centre in Ottawa while Spezza rehabs his back. Backstrom on the other hand has been producing little (along with the rest of the Capitals). In a regular season I'd be more patient but in the shortened format, I'm tempted to make a move. Am I crazy?

I agree that Backstrom has sucked so far but I'd still hold onto him. I think others are going to shit on you.

Yes, you are. Backstrom is WAY more talented of a player. Remember, just 3 years ago Backstrom was 100 pt player. He is still a PPG player and when Washington get their shit together, the points will start rolling for him. His health should be your only concern.

In a one year league, this isn't so crazy. With Spezza out for awhile, Turris is the number one center and will be getting more scoring opportunities. It's not unreasonable to expect him to outscore or at least keep pace with Backstrom this year. WAS is a mess right now and when will they come out of it? It is closer than it would appear based on name value alone.

Hopefully this is a joke. If not, it is some of the dumbest logic I have ever seen.

That's like saying, Eric Johnson (1st overall pick) is obviously better than Giroux (22nd), Toews (3rd), Backstrom (4th), and Kessel (5th) because he went before them in the draft. And at least I'm comparing players in the SAME draft.

Backstrom is head and shoulders above turris. If you're intent on picking up Turris, at least trade someone to make room and dont just drop a superstar player.
