Never said he's "only good on the PP".

Also, his 28 goal 64 point year has been an outlier, and he hasnt scored that much 5 on 5(goals) since

He went 14-2 in goals the next year, and 41-12 points wise.

No, he's not. If he centers his own line all this year and then into the future, then sure, he's a center, until then, he's not.

And I never said Carter was bad, he's really good. I'd still rather have ROR than him though.

Based on age, absolutely. Based on history, and production, not yet.

Carter is still a great goal scorer, while being very good at both ends.

And Draisaitl has played more center than wing in his time in the league.

If they move RNH, he goes right back to center.

Only because McDavid was hurt.

They might be going the Kesler/Getzlaf route where he plays wing until he gets his feet under him and then move him to center.

Either way, the actual ranking isn't important.

He's great as our number 2 center and that's all that really matters

Gerbe needs to take off the trading of next year's picks ASAP
His brother is obnoxious with these type trades

It's not a $$$ league
There's nothing stopping him from trading picks in Next Year'a draft
Then deciding not to play next year
And it would just mess everything up

Don't be a wussy.

I definitely wouldn't trust him though. Offering 1st and 2nd. Even Johnson isn't that good.

Ajayi and a 3rd maybe.

Just don't accept any from him that have next year's picks. He clearly doesn't plan on playing next year with these stupid trades.

IF people are interested,
then you'd still have to get everyone's $$$ for next year before u allow any of those picks to be traded

Otherwise,
your brother has nothing holding him to be in the league again

Word
Even if it is a $$$ league next year,
I still don't like the idea of being able to trade draft picks for next year

Doing a keeper league is cool
What are the rules for that?
