Sergei Zubov dropped, worth the #1 waiver?

[aaron_is_nufc]

Team in sig. Should i use my first waiver on him? Lucic would probably be the victim.

Looking at my team, im only a solid D and lw away from winning this thing. EDIT (and perhaps a goalie, but we wont go there)

I mean, what better could I honestly wait for? I could stash him on the bloody IR, cant i?

On a side note... ryder just got dropped, so should i pick him up if i put zubov on the IR? or should i definately try to trade for a lw

(i might be breaking ground on a ribiero/ganger for horcoff/parise deal, so i would have 3lw and could use a 4th rw).

how bad is his injury?

i thought it was just till the end of october . . . has any new information come out?

[am78]

grab zubov...they say mid october to mid november but when he is back he is a top 10 dman

[aaron_is_nufc]

thanks for your help, but what about the ryder situation?

[Habber82]

Ryder should outpoint Kessel.... Is that Marian Hossa? Def. drop Lucic or Zidlicky for Zubov

[WinnipegWingnut]

Yep, grab Zubov and IR him!

Lucic might just make it through waivers to grab, if not grab Ryder.

I think it is a worthwhile move drop Zidlicky For him. The reports say Zubov is back in the near term he is one of the best defensemen out there for fantasy. I am pretty tolerant of injury risk so keep mind that he has struggled lately with various ailments and could see significant downtime this season.

I don't think he will be IR, but def. grab him with the #1, what better player do you think will be flat out dropped?

He should be IR once the season begins, as his salary is probably a bit higher than most, so IR'ing him saves the Stars cap space.

Man, I hope your right.

Tue, Oct 7 Zubov was placed on the injured reserve after undergoing hip surgery.

Advice: He will be reevaluated toward the end of October, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported. The defenseman should remain productive when he returns - he had 35 points in 46 games last year - but the 38-year-old is an injury risk. His 2007-08 season was cut short due to foot surgery.

Alright, hope he's back around the end of the month. In the meantime, I can play with his roster position. Only D I would consider is Goligoski. May want to slip a forward in there, O'Sullivan, Turris, Brunette and Lucic are FA. I think I better take Sully, but worry a bit of the +/-, so maybe Brunette? Any advice?
