    Default Benn Dropped...pick him up?

    Jamie Benn was dropped in my league....he's perfect for the categories we have, but does anyone think he could hit even 60 points this year?

    considering dropping Hornqvist....other notable FA's are listed here, all really solid:

    Benn
    Larkin
    Radulov
    Meier
    Pearson
    Kreider
    Lee
    Jim

    I don’t see 60. More than 45, I guess around 50ish


    I’d take Kreider over him but maybe that’s just me

    Points: 2 G / 2 A / 1 PPG / 1 PPA / 1 Hat Trick / 1 SHG / 1 SHA / 1 GWG - 3 Goalie Win / 2 Goalie Loss in SO or OT / 5 goalie SO

    C. McDavid, N. Kucherov, R. O'Reilly, J. Schwartz, J. Toews, J. Huberdeau, T. Toffoli, M. Granlund

    Defense:

    i like larkin, gets loads of ice time....just the fact that Benn plays with Seguin and Radulov is always tempting....hard to believe how Benn has fallen off...

    Do I think he'll hit 60? No, he'd have to get 37 points in the next 35 games and I don't see that happening.

    He does fit your categories quite well though, and I think does provide more value than Larkin overall. Really just depends on how badly you need Benn's hits.

    An alternative consideration is to just take Meier instead. He provides roughly the same peripheral statistics as Benn, with probably higher point upside at this stage.
