    Default Thornton or...

    I should be in the mix (top three) in my points-only dynasty league this year. I've got Thornton on my roster, but unless he gets 55+, I don't think he'll help me.
    I'm considering dropping him for a late pick in our prospect draft. But...pickings are slim. Who's best here (I'm giving guys I've got on the list--others might be available, but we're pretty deep), and should I take one or hold Thornton and hope for a healthy bounceback?

    I'd be farming this player, so no preference in position--just want the best asset. I'm all about upside--would rather gamble on a late bloomer/boom or bust guy than be safe.

    I'm sure there are others I'm missing here, but this should give a sense of who's out there. Feel free to toss some additional names in comments.
    Oh, and my sig is outdated. I'll update after draft.

    I'm assuming you've already bounced this off dobber's list?

    I like Dobber's list as a resource, but it weighs likelihood and closeness pretty heavily. I'm less interested in a surefire middle-sixer than gambling on a guy that will be higher on his list a year from now. Dorofeyev isn't on his top 200, but he's preferred over a guy like Gaudette who will most likely settle in as a solid NHLer, but not a winning piece on a championship fantasy team. I'd rather a guy flame out in a year than a 2-year AHLer that becomes a 45 point NHLer.

    I'd love to know who's gonna be a WJC-er this December that might rise his stock a lot--guys like that.

    No thoughts on these guys? I'm pretty convinced I'll be dropping Thornton.

    I agree to drop Thornton, but have no idea exactly who I'd want.

    I might gamble on Marody and hope to strike a gusher.
