Default Who would you rather have? Thorton, Backstrom or Couture?

Points only limited keeper. I'm ranking them

1. Thornton
2. Backstrom
3. Couture

How would you rank them? Now and for the future!

I'll be putting a package together trading away Karlsson.

Backstrom
Thornton
Couture

I think Backstrom has more to offer.

You might want Couture ahead of Thornton if you aren't anywhere near contending within two years.

I'm still thinking Backstrom and the Caps will figure things out.
Backstrom was over PPG last year -- even when Ovy was stinking it up.

I'd rank them:
1. Backstrom
2. Thornton
3. Couture

This year, with the way SJ is rolling, I could see Thornton being the guy though.

He's got Nash and Perry as well. Said they aren't available. Would you target one of them instead?

In a 12F, 5D league, Karlsson is freaking gold.
If that's the deal you're considering, back away.

Karlssson outscored the nearest D by 25 last year. It's like having an extra skater on your team.
