    Default Time to blow up my team?

    I am near the bottom of my pool right now. It's very early of course but when I look at the problems I don't see things improving.

    It's the team in my sig. My worries are my bottom-end forwards. I've already unloaded Zherdev for James Neal. Now my concerns are the disappointing play of Frolov, Hudler and the injury to Parise. I only have 5 moves all year including for injuries, one of which I've already used for Neal, so 4 left on the season. No bench/No IR. Pts only.

    Available are Selanne, who I think is my top pick right now, Callahan, Hejduk, Ladd, Dubinsky, Justin Williams, Ville Leino (perhaps my next pick), Brendan Morrison, Stoll, Cullen, Kopecky, Animisov, Oshie, Hartnell, Moulson, Bertuzzi, Clarke Macarthur, Tanguay.

    A lot of these guys I don't see consistently putting up the numbers they have early on. Teemu is on the PP a tonne so he's in a good place. I think it's really early to burn a bunch of my limited trades and yet I feel pretty strongly that if I stick with what I have there's no way I'll be rising to #1. Winner takes all, perhaps drastic times call for drastic measures.

    Thoughts??

    Don't be afraid of the moves limit. If your team stinks, you gotta fix it. However, if you leave the team as is and only adjust when a big gun gets injured, you're going to be screwed regardless. Get Hejduk and Selanne instead of Hudler and a crappy d-man.

    Thanks NYR.

    It has to be a FWD for a FWD though. Do you think Frolov is worth waiting on as one who's been watching NYR games??? He'd be my next to go with Hudler.. I'm gonna wait for the word on Parise, hopefully that won't be required, though it doesn't look good

    edit**** Just swapped Hudler for Selanne... Now the question of Frolov...
