i don\'t like arnott...
McDonald, Kopitar and Lang.. he might have a couple of years left in him
especially with the youth of the team... they\'ll need to keep him around for his leadership qualities

Kopitar is easily my first choice and then i take McDonald second, the 3rd choice is difficult though. others are suggesting Arnott or Lang and sorry to muddy things up a bit but i\'d take Drury as the 3rd choice.
I think Arnott will have a solid second half with Rads picking it up, especially on the PP.
Kopitar second just because the young talent is too tempting
Andy McD because you pretty much know what you get there

Mephisto - the only thing that spelling error cost you was a big hit to your karma to post ratio.
Your post brings up an interesting question for me - what is the difference between a points league and a points only league - if there is one?
My view on Drury is he is not a fantasy points giant and won\'t be now that Gomez has cozyied up to Jagr and some opportunities are bound to swing Avery\'s way now that he is back so he would be numero uno dump for me. Drury\'s name on FA might also cause someone in your league to do something dumb.
I won\'t bother with McDonald\'s YTD stats as he has shifted to a new venue and the game has changed for him but his comparison here is for the 5 games he has played in St. Louis. Just some food for thought.
Fantasy points per game in your league for this season.
McDonald - 1.84 (5 games)-this number can jump quickly with a couple of good games of course. It\'s low because he has been sucking the minuses and very few shots on goal and a princess when it come to PIMs
Lang - 3.18
Arnott - 3.25
Kopitar 3.08
Drury - 2.47
Frankly I would go with the numbers - Backstrom of late has been charting better FPG than a few of these guys and he is on FA in your league - so dumping McDonald is not like you are taking a big risk. and a little birdie told me that Marleau is likely to hit the wire soon as well.
thanks for the help guys,i think i\'ll try arnott, kopitar, and mcdonald...as shoeless has reminded me, there\'s plenty of talent at centre on the FA in our league which only makes my decision easier...
btw, what\'s this karma-thing?
Karma - oh that\'s a special system for recognizing a guy for his contribution in a post - might be great advice, something funny, payment of a wager, that sort of thing. We have 1 karma to give every 6 hours.
If you trade me Zetterberg for Dustin Brown for instance, you will get at least 100 karma for me. That means it would take me 25 days to finish your karma job.
By the way - good call on keeping McDonald - he didn\'t even play today - guess he\'s afraid of Sharks.
