    Pick up Marleau IMMEDIATELY. He's already started to wake up and Higgins plays on Montreal's FOURTH LINE for God's sake. I can't believe anyone would advise you to keep Higgins.

    Which is more likely - that Marleau (coming off two 75-point seasons) gives you decent numbers the rest of the way, or that Higgins starts kicking out the jambs on Montreal's 4th line?

    That's cool. It can take some trial and error. Our baseball league took a few years to get the right balance of statistics.

    Yeah, the simple answer is that he's not been placed on IR in real life. Ottawa never has to if they don't want to. At this point, it probably won't happen because he's expected back sooner than originally expected.

    LOL, how is a lineup like this even possible. Crosby-Heatley-Lecavalier went 1-2-3 in our league. Ovechkin and Hossa were also 1st-round draft picks; Kovalchuk went early in the second round.

    Even if there's only six teams (and even if everyone left the draft to Yahoo default rankings), you should have gotten no more than two of the players named (if this is for real). If not, the people you're playing with are so out of it, it doesn't matter what you do, you'll win the league unless you completely blow it.

    There's no clear return date and one report suggested there's the possibility he may not return at all this season. Plus knee injuries are always concerning and Arenas himself said when he returns he won't be 100%.

    Beyond that it may depend on whether you're in a HTH league or a Roto league. I've been carrying Monta Ellis in a HTH league and now I realize that was pretty much a mistake - in HTH leagues you need all your healthy bodies to stay in the race. With that being said I'm still in playoff position and as long as that continued I'll keep dragging Ellis on my roster.

    My understanding in Roto leagues is that it's easier to carry an injured player since you're limited by the start limits anyway. So maybe there it's worth a shot, or if you hold a high position already in a HTH league.
