    Default Burns vs Letang

    I am aware of Letang's injury proneness but Burns worries me (and the Sharks as a whole). Letang is two years younger so he's got more mileage left in him. Who would you rather have?

    G,A,PPP, +/- (Burns is terrible here), PIM. Salary cap.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    I'll take Letang. I feel like on name value you could possibly get a bit of a plus with Letang in exchange for Burns (but in a cap league maybe not).

    Yeah, I feel like I should get more but in a cap league and his age, Burns' value is not as high. I'm really looking for the better performer ROS mostly but with eye for next couple of seasons too. Forget about getting optimum value; just who is the better own. And thanks for your opinion.

    Even Superman got old eventually. Letang. But I’d also look for younger, eventually.

    12-team, H2H. Keep 12, but drop 2 of top four skaters, and also 2 of next six, then five more (from end-of-year rankings). One GK max.

    I know. It'll be tough to get a young top dman for Burns, though.

    Letang.

    I THINK burns started slow last season but ended with 83pt in 82gp so maybe he can do it again this season. I would not take that risk so I prefer Letang who happens to be on a better team with a better PP. Also, no SOG while having +/- really lowers Burns' value imo. Add to that it's a salary league I'll take Letang over Burns.

    Thanks for your thoughts. I've owned Burns for 5 years now. He actually started slow not last year but the year after that and then ended up with 67 points. But age plus SJ's team makeup really worry me that Burns will be able to turn it around and become his old self again.
