Drop a once promising prospect for Korpisalo?

[Bass56]

Is Korpisalo only beginning to show his true colours or is this just a small hot stretch that will fade out sooner than later?

I can drop one of Zacha or Bennett for him but not sure he’s worth it.

What’s your take on things? Rep will be given where I can since I need a quick reply

Could you not drop Smith for Korpisalo? Is this for a different team not mentioned in your sig? Korpisalo has been pegged by some as the next starter for CBJ if Bob leaves. I think he's a decent option and personally, I wouldn't lose sleep dropping Zacha or Bennett for him. Both have been less than impressive in my opinion.

Ya I could drop Smith as well but I think he still holds some value. I just know if I drop one of those youngsters though, they will get snagged by another team and bite me in the butt in a few years time

Honestly I think they've shown as much as they can. I don't really see either turning into much more than they are now. I'm a huge Flames fan and love Bennett for his physicality and how he gets under people's skin, but I think he's a good 3rd liner at most and that's it. Zacha doesn't seem to be getting much better either. As for Smith, I think his value is declining every time Rittich wins a game. He can be very good some nights and then absolutely terrible the other nights. Korpisalo may not be an elite goalie but I'd still want him over Smith.

I agree though but I’d be losing on those occasional extra faceoffs if I do.

Either way, Korpisalo is worth letting go one of these guys, right?

14 team league I would. He could really steal some games here and if you get him with Price, Helle and the occasional Smith start you should be in really good shape.

[Bass56]

Thanks gents! Made the move moments ago! Fingers crossed that this doesn’t bite me in the @$$ in a few years time

Zacha would be my choice... Bennett holds some value in your league 72PIM & 100+ hits.

Yep I like his multi cat game and have heard some great things about him. I think a breakout is still possible.

[Doug Glatt]

Agree with Luc, hope you dumped Zacha he is a bust.

I dropped Bennett because I needed FOW but I’m going to be dropping Zacha now for one of Wennberg or Koivu.

Thanks again to all for your input!
