Drop for Gusev?

Hi, having trouble making up my mind, who to drop for Gusev?
1 year league Yahoo points only

Landeskog or James Neal?

I own Mackinnon and Rantanen from Colorado already.

I wouldn't drop Landeskog... regardless of the fact that you already own Mac and Rantanen. Not sure about Neal though... maybe someone else can chime in on a Gusev/Neal comparison.

Absolutely don't drop Landeskog. Without seeing the rest of your roster, I would say Neal.

[fiskaarn]

Ok, thank you.
I think i’ll drop Neal for gusev then.
I belive gusev will play well the second half. Neal play with mcdavid and pp1 but nothing this far.

You've got a really good team. I would absolutely drop Neal and pick up Gusev. Neal is nothing special, and hasnt been 2015-2016. Edmonton's lines are constantly in flux so I have no confidence Neal stays where he is. As a rule I avoid players who only have value from riding shotgun. I haven't been too terribly impressed from the games I've watched Gusev but they were all in the Hynes era, so maybe he's better now with the coaching change--in any case he absolutely dominated in the KHL and seems to be finding his legs.

I would do Neal for Gusev

Thank you for ur help.
I dropped Neal for gusev.
Used my last draft pick for gusev in the draft, really like him and dont want to see anyone else pick him up from the waivers.

Gusev over Neal for sure. Nice move.

as others say Neal for Gusev is ok, probably wont benefit you much but it wont hurt you either. Do NOT drop Landy.
