Which set of 4 forwards would you take?

[bicpencils]

I was wondering if you guys could give me some advice on which set of forwards I should pick for my pool. The pool counts points and +/-. Thanks.

Eric Staal/Nash/Radulov/Kopitar

Richards/Kovalchuk/Radulov/Sykora

Gomez/Cheechoo(or Gagne)/Radulov/Sykora

Looks like you meant which set of 3 as Radulov is in each group - or was that a slip?

Tough call - think the Richards group will likely out point the others with Gomez next however I think the Gomez group is likely to have the best +/- especially with Cheechoo over Gagne.

Don\'t know how the weigh is for points and +/- but I think the Gomez group might win my favor here by a little over the Richards group - I just don\'t think Staal\'s group will keep up. The decider for me is Gomez feeding Jagr over Richards feeding Oulett - and the +/-

I\'d go with the 3rd group. Gomez will outscore everybody IMO. I can\'t wait to see him play outside the NJ\'s defensive box. Plus/minus wise, I think it\'s also the best group of forward as Gomez and Gagne are denfensively sound. Radulov is all three packages so he isn\'t a factor.

The second group isn\'t bad but both Richards and Kovalchuk had bad season last year. I don\'t think, for one, that Richards can reach 85pts with the mere addition of Ouellet. Kovalchuk may finally have a decent center in White but his +/- should stay near zero.

Long-term wise, I think your first group is the best, but your +/- will be pretty bad compared to the rest of the groups.

Your best bet to win this year would probably be Gomez/Cheechoo/.. group. I honestly really like Gagne but having Thornton feeding you the puck...can\'t deny that.

I have to go with the 3rd group as well. Gomez/Cheechoo should give you a lot of pts and will put decent +/- compared with the other pairs. Sykora and Kopitar should put around the same pts and +/-.
