Yeah, I hear you, but with more than two slots for G in most leagues and IR slots as well, I figure stash him away. There’s no doubt he can play. If he can come back and play anywhere near like he’s capable of playing with that team…I picked him up on the IF/MAYBE. It’s come back big for me before.

@dave – yeah, I did see that–crazy. I liked how the Caps had to issue a statement. That is one thing I like about AO, he has made the NHL a lot more fun.

@Bob – I have given up on DiPietro. He was on my Don’t Draft List when I set up my auto-draft for my league (wanted a live draft, but we couldn’t all of us together at the same time).

And then there’s Rick DiPietro…still a couple weeks away at least…a really big IF…but even so…

Dan - looks like AO was kidding. Said to be back this weekend.

@Bob – I’ll look at goals, assists, points and probably +/- . Still figuring it all out. Nice suggestions by the way.

@Dave – yeah, there has been a lot of back and forth on AO. Puck Daddy had that interview with him where he said 4 to 5 weeks. Who knows?

@Richard – I got him as a late steal in my league’s draft. He went through some growing pains in October, but he looked solid against the Wings on Saturday.

Like the Gustavsson suggestion. Just picked him up this morning. Could be a huge bargain.

Interesting that Caps GM George McPhee says AO could be back this weekend.

“If [Kessel] was ignored, he’s worth picking up…If Gustavsson is sitting in the bargain basement of your league, snap him up.”

Blake and maybe Mitchell as well.

“Fleischmann…Knuble…”

Perrault as well.

“Mike Modano (C) and Jere Lehtinen (LW) are back for the Dallas Stars…”

And it looked like a completely different team with them in the lineup. Not in a positive way. Maybe with time…first game back and all…

“Jason Spezza is injured again.”

In the NJ game? What’s the problem? Damn – even though they lost he played 21 minutes and was a plus 2.

“Clash of the wingers as Rick Nash dukes it out with Marian Gaborik.”

What are the categories?
