    Default Almost My Pick - Not Sure if I Should Pass

    Dynasty roto league (G,A,Pts,PPP,SOG,Pim,Hits,BS for skaters) with a 10 player farm. 12 forwards, 6 defense, 2 goalie count in Yahoo.

    I've already taken Newhook and Tomasino for my farm team and have another pick coming up shortly (one pick away).

    I would have to drop either Anders Bjork or Joachim Blichfeld. Both players are obviously further along in their development, but would you keep them over Pavel Dorofeyev VGK? This is something I have to figure out shortly. Any opinions out there?

    Thanks!

    I'd take Dorofeyev and drop Blichfield. It's a boom/bust pick but I grabbed him with my last pick in a couple of drafts this year.

    Thanks for weighing in PD. I do subscribe to the boom/bust for prospects, might as well swing for the fences mentality. The only thing giving me pause is that Blichfeld led the WHL in scoring, albeit as an over-ager, and has some size. The only thing I'm concerned about is his skating ability, which is kind of a big deal.

    I should have mentioned this in my initial post, but Patrik Puistola and Nick Robertson are also available. A home run shot might be something the under-sized Robertson could be, dare I say Marner-like? Ah, decisions, decisions!

    I'd go with Dorofeyev here, assuming Brink isn't available as well. I think Blichfeld is the drop.

    I'd take any of the three listed (Puistola, Doro, Robertson) over the 7th round overager who can't really skate...

    Coin flip between Puistola and Doro for me....
