Hey guys.

Im pretty sure some of my poolies visit this forum so ill be discrete Don\'t want to show my hand before monday right?

Many good players up for grabs, keepers with points only but goals are worth 2 points. We dress 3 players on each position and i need to patch up those 3rd spots on each wings.

Ill get to the point
LW: S.Kostsitsyn, Ryder or Cleary?
RW: Lupul, Brunette or Strum?

Thanks!

I\'d be taking Kostitsyn on the LW and Lupul on the Right.

Ryder and Cleary are LW and Brunette and Sturm are RW in your leauge!? Usually it\'s the other way around from what I\'ve seen.

Anyway, I\'d actually go with Ryder, Cleary and than S. Kostitsyn at LW. But Keep an eye on Kostitsyn. I don\'t think he can crack the top 6 in MTL but if he does switch him out for Ryder and Cleary in a second. He has the talent to out produce them if he gets enough ice time.

At RW I\'d go for Lupul, Sturm, Brunette. No question there.

That\'s some nice options to have.

On LW I\'d go with Kostitsyn. He may be the 3rd line LW on the depth charts in Montreal, but on most other teams that would be a second line. I expect that he, his brother and Plekanec will be put back together at some point; they had a good chemistry at times last season. Ryder isn\'t clicking with Savard, and Cleary is just a 45 point player.

On RW I\'d take Lupul. I think last year he started to produce like he should; injuries kept slowing him down. Marco sturm isn\'t a bad choice, as he always gets to the 60 point mark at the end of the season. I think Brunette\'s best days are behind him, and playing in MInnesota won\'t exactly fuel his offensive numbers.

Just my $.02

My mistake, Lupul and Kostsitsyn are both LW, damn...

I thought Brunette would bounce back playing with Koivu and Gaborik, but you may be right.

So it comes down to Lupul vs Kostsitsyn... tough choice.

Thanks for the help guys.
