    Ryan Whitney for Gonchar

    OK, this isn't a trade, but I just had to share it. Someone in my league must be dissatisfied with Ryan Whitney's brief IR status and DROPPED him. I'm sitting at waiver position #1 and I'm dropping Gonchar (my 5th D-man) to pick up Whitney.

    That's an improvement of 23 spots on my D-man list (I had Gonchar ranked at 35 and Whitney at 13) and leaves me with a solid D-line:

    Pronger
    Whitney
    Edler
    Zidlicky
    Kaberle

    Which is good, because my weakest element was Defense.

    Just had to share; thanks!

    Somebody dropped Whitney? Seriously? Wow, I mean he missed opening night..that is stupid. You made out like a BANDIT. I would send him a Christmas card this year..that is crazy. Maybe someone in your league will drop Sidney too? LOL

    rediculous. I have him in one league and Kesler in another and I wouldn't dream of dropping either one.

    Wow..stupid..I mean why even draft him with a high pick if you're gonna bail on him in less than a week? That is stupid drafting and stupid decision making in general. Just pass on him if you can't wait a freakin week or two to figure out what's gonig on. I think the fact that they wasted a high draft pick on him is dumber than them dropping him. Like I said, if you go in knowing his issues and the fact that when he returns is up in the air, and you'd actually consider dropping him after a week then what's the point of even drafting him? Did they think Sid would suddenly don some skates on day 2 and play without seeing any contact? Wow..can I play in your leauge next year?

    I got Crrosby in round 2 and Kesler in round 4 and I'm not sorry about either.

    Yeah, the funny thing is that I'm a Caps fan and he's a Pens fan. I invited him to join our league this year and he named his team "Caps Suck". We'll see who ends up sucking, at least in the fantasy league!

    Like I said earlier, it makes ZERO SENSE to draft a guy that high (I assume he drafted Whitney pretty high) knowing that he's injured and might not play opening day...only to drop him one game into the season. I mean if you have ANY reservations then don't waste a high pick..because that's exactly what he did, he totally wasted a pick and literally handed you a top pick as a result. You should be thanking him profusely for giving you another high pick lol
