need some help with my NHL pool (defensemen)

[sillywilly]

I need to dump 1 defensemen

Goals are worth 2 points
assists are 1 point

Which ONE of these guys would you dump??


Kimmo Timonen - PHI
Tomas Kaberle - TOR

Well, in all honesty, and you may perceive me to be biased based on being a Leafs fan, however I'd dump Timmonen.

Not because I'm blind to all Leafs greatness or anything, but it's more my enhanced knowledge of when/how Kaberle is used. He's almost always on the PP, logs a lot of minutes.

Only downfall I could see with Kaberle is he's more likely to be the set up guy for McCabe as he has a much harder shot. Kaberle is more accurate I think.

Just my 2 cents, but I honestly don't know how Timmonen is used in Philly.

You must have good defenseman if you get rid of one of these 2.

Either way I don<t think there will be much of a difference. Timmonen might score more goals. They both will play 24 to 26 minutes per game.

Some questions to ask yourself:

Are the Flyers better offensively than the Leafs?

Are you a Kaberle fan?

Are you a Leafs fan?

Me, I would take Timmonen. He has potential to score more goals...

Good luck.

Timonen is in his prime with a great young offensive team. Timonen hands downs.

I went with Kab. I will have more access to his games so will be able to cheer for him. Not so much with PHI games. In the end at 2 points for a goal and 1 point for an ass. I think they will end up within 5-10 fantasy points of eachother. I was so stupid not to pick up zeterberg, he went fairly late and even more stupid for taking havlat.

Some point system... would you rather take RAY whitney from CAR, brindamour from CAR, horton from FLA, prospal from TB, commerie from NYI or B. roloson from MIN


I'm leaving towards roloson since he takes so many shots and will get me atleast 30 goals and maybe 40 assists. Thats 100 fantasy points but after the CAR game I'm thinking of going with whitney

[Chambokl]

That is why I thought you might take Kaberle. It is fun when you can watch your players.

Comrie is an interesting player. He will be on the #1 line and participate on the power play. Nolan will not let him slack off neither... He also plays with Guerin.

I would probably go with Comrie. I know the Canes had lots of pts tonight but that is not normal.

Good luck...

PS: I also like Roloson...

[sillywilly]

I like commrie but his shooting % is really night. He can't keep it up. I don't want to take him based on his production so far. Its impossible to keep up the scoring at that pace I think I will go with roloson. If gaborik picks it up, he will get a ton of assists. If gab gets hurt then roloson will get a ton of goals

Brian Rolston would be my pick too (Roloson is a goalie).

Brind’amour. He is one of the more utilized players for CAR because of his face-off abilities. He is always on the PP and CAR is looking more like their cup run two years ago. I have seen three Canes games and they look good. We will see more of those blowout games from them this year.
