http://sports.yahoo....layers/692/newsUgh, I just picked up Demitra and now I find out he's on the stopper line. Do you guys think his numbers will drop significantly? I only have 60 moves for the whole year, and I'd already used 7, do you think I should start slowing down with my moves?

in my opinion....... save your moves for after the first few weeks and especially Nov/Dec. Thats when you find out which sleepers have any worth. also, dont put too much stock into those kinds of things abotu Demitra. He will be the top scorer on LA, and barring injury, he will be top 15/20 in the NHL, if not top 10.

I have to laugh about Demitra being on a defensive third line. That's like putting Keith Tkachuk on a goal-scoring line. Oh wait...Line changes happen frequently. If one of the top two lines don't work out, Demitra will be shifted up in a heartbeat.

Only way Demitra doesn't lead LA in scoring is if Frolov breaks out like a bad case of acne.

I just don't understand the move. It doesn't make sense.

I'm with you there, I would put him on the first line with Roenick and Frolov. I wonder if he's being punished for something...Anyway, I wouldn't worry about it too much, Craig Conroy can dish a pass just as well as Roenick, he'll still get his points. Might get more PIM's on the thumper line too, which would make him more valuable.

Also include the fact that Conroy and Demitra played together in St. Louis for 5 years...they know each other very well and how each other plays.

Excellent to know. Thank you
