drop jvr for skinner?

[mclarenf1]

should i drop jvr and add skinner?
if not jvr, anyone else in my roster i should drop for skinner?

Yeah JvR is the right choice - I don't expect big points out of him for a couple of years. Skinner is on fire.

One year pool? I would be tempted to do this if I were you.

Skinner is seeing good icetime in Carolina, including PP duties. He's a rookie, yes, but he's very skilled.

I like JVR a lot in a keeper pool, but he's just not getting the opportunities he needs to produce at any kind of decent level. Methinks his breakout season will NOT be this year.

It looks like they are trying Skinner on the top line with Staal and on the first PP unit. He has also been able to put up decent stats without being on the top line so I would say he is worth the pick up over JVR. The majority of people think that the stats get split between the three lines in Philly, so long as Skinner stays on the top line I think you would benefit from dropping JVR.

Here's why you should make this move ASAP: Skinner is in a position to succeed now with key ice time and very little competition for minutes. JVR is on a very deep/talented Flyers team that although does well collectively, doesn't do so well individually because there's not enough ice time to go around.

I usually shy away from rookies (especially 18 year old rooks) for obvious reasons in one year leagues but in this case Skinner is a clear upgrade over JVR.

one year, keeper, h2h, or even in a lawn-bowling league, I'd prefer Skinner over JVR.
