I like your picks except..... #9 go with Cammy... Karyia is getting old and will be slowing down. #10 go with Bryzgalov, PHX is getting better and better and he\'s going to be piling up the victories in the desert. #5 I think Jagr is done.. toast, I would much rather keep Kostitsyn, Boyes, or Richards in that order since you already have 2 C\'s and there\'s lots of depth at that position.

I would try to unload Jagr plus Karyia for a better winger you can keep perhaps and slot him in for Jagr\'s spot... that would be the ideal route to go I think (Like a Vanek) may seem like you\'re overpaying, but you\'ll be the one laughing in 2 years time... hell probably even next year.

I agree i would not keep Jagr. I think CAmmalleri over Kariya, Bryz in the tenth slot and maybe burns or Boyes over Jagr. I like the rest of your picks.

i agree with the above post, locking up 2 decent goalies will help you in next yrs draft just grabbing the left over offense talent, i would try to deal jagr as well not sure where he will be next yr or what he will be doing. maybe go after Alexander Radulov... very nice young solid player been on a hot streak so you will have to pay like someone like jagr but once rad gets more time on the ice his points will go up even from his 2 goals a night on 13mins of game play

The only benefit of keeping someone like Jagr is the hype next year.

Let me explain. I have a feeling that at the beginning of next season, there will be A LOT of hype surrounding Jagr and the off season he\'s having this year.

You can capitalize at that time and trade him while his percieved value is high.

If it were me, I wouldn\'t keep him...but if I had to, I\'d make sure to capitalize next August!

I agree with the jagr question.

It is difficult, I made the mistake of picking him 2nd this year. I would hate to lose such a \"possible\" high scoring player.

I would imagine Radulov is off limits. The owner built the perfect keeper team and I think radulov is a high priority keeper for him. kane, toews, crosby, fluery, heatly, kovy, rads, Ryan Whitney, and a couple others I can\'t think of....

Jagr turns 36, he doesn\'t have many good years left in him. He won\'t be making the money he\'s getting now, and if he gets low balled (in his eyes) by a couple of teams I could see him packing his bags and going back to play in the Czech Republic or wherever else overseas. I wouldn\'t want to chance that I\'d rather go after someone like a Perry or something on the right side who can do no wrong for the next 5 years playing with Getzlaf.

Wow! What a nice set of keepers!

Regarding your case, definitely keep Cammer and Bryz. What to do with Jagr, well I would try to move him as soon he gets going again (and pray he gets another streak!)

I\'ve been trying to move him. trying to get bites on Hossa, Alfredsson and Staal, but no takers. I need to sweeten the pot I think.

Though I haven\'t gotten reponses from Al and Staal owners the hossa is a not for sale.
