Nylander but if Forsberg is hinting at signing then the answer changes to him

If don't get Marleau and (assuming can trade Gomez for Cheechoo) then which FA C should be picked up for Dumont?

I'm thinking Ribeiro, Nylander or Forsberg (good stash; can make up C games later since it's roto). They're decent replacements for Gomez.

Prospal and Higgins got picked up. Manny is still a FA.

Can't believe someone dropped Marleau for Prospal. So, it seems like a no brainer to use WW#2 to add Marleau for Dumont right? But I wonder what other players might get dropped?

*different post- then he could trade Gomez to NYR fan for Cheechoo since person unlikely to trade Heatley.

If Marleau got shifted to LW then that would be perfect.

you should add Prospal and pray he gets the wing eligibility soon. if you're worried about that then i like Mason more than Manny or LaBarbera, in fact i don't necessarily think LaBarbapapa is going to get the job at all (Aubin might steal it).

My bro is 3rd in a 12 team standard 6x4 roto public yahoo league w/daily changes.

League:
http://hockey.fantasysports.yahoo.com/hockey/70997

It's still early but he's weak in G, GAA, SV%, SO.

Trigun
C Eric Staal(Car - C)
C Scott Gomez(NYR - C)
LW Thomas Vanek(Buf - LW)
LW Alex Tanguay(Cgy - LW)
RW Daniel Alfredsson(Ott - RW)
RW Mike Knuble(Phi - RW)
D Dion Phaneuf(Cgy - D)
D Zdeno Chara(Bos - D)
D Kimmo Timonen(Phi - D)
D Francois Beauchemin(Anh - D)
BN J.P. Dumont(Nsh - RW)
BN Petr Sykora(Pit - C,RW)
IR Steve Sullivan(Nsh - RW)

G Miikka Kiprusoff(Cgy - G)
G Ryan Miller(Buf - G)
BN Peter Budaj (Col - G)
BN Ilya Bryzgalov(Anh - G)

Trying to make a 2 for 1 for a LW or an upgrade at RW since that's his only weak spot. Then can add a FA.

WW CMason, Kovalev

FA
C Nylander, Arnott, Prospal (LW soon), Ribeiro, MKoivu, P-MBouchard, JStaal (LW soon?)
LW Wolski, Higgins (C), Fedotenko
RW Radulov, Selanne
G MFernandez, LaBarbera, CPrice, JTheodore, Raycroft, MSmith

BBurke "should" be trading Bryzgalov in next week or two for some offensive help (hello LA who only has LaBarbera?). He only has 1 RW spot for Sykora, Knuble and Dumont so it seems like it's a better idea to carry a LW or adecent goalie than a 4th RW that he can't start. Still has Sullivan on IR.

I'm sure MFernandez will get picked up now that he got a SO last night.
Maybe drop RW for Manny Fernandez (great trade bait). If he's gone then who should he add? C Prospal, C/LW Higgins (love him), Mason, LaBarbera (starter) or someone else?
