I dunno there's lots of ways to approach keeper leagues. For me I want to win early with vets then when your team craps out you rebuild hard. If you kinda do half and half you pretty much end up like most NHL teams, and kinda get stuck in the middle. Youth with upside isn't a bad idea but you need to stick hard with it. I've seen a lot of keeper league players go and draft all the "big named" guys and hope that they turn out to be superstars. When you deal with prospects, they are just that, prospects! You have just as much of a chance missing as you do hitting. For the most part with prospects they take 3-4 years to get into making a impact for fantasy leagues, so you need to be patient. Most poolies just give up too early. Look at Turris and Hedman. He was high touted, hasn't done much in the last 2 years and now so many poolies have given up that you can get him for cheap. That's the way I think of it, you let others take the prospects when they give up then you snag em up for cheaper than when you initially draft them.
You guys probably have followed Dobber for a while, so you kinda have been exposed to more info than the "regular poolie". But for keeper and picking youth with upside, you have to stay patient.

I can't figure out which strategy Shakedown is employing. SeaDawg's team is looking great. Evan im employing the Bi Polar effect

I guess I've always liked calculated risk. Walking on a n edge, if you will. But you're right, it's a hit/miss strategy.

I thought tonight would be a real busy night, but so far there is nothing going on.

I may be off-line but I'm home and an email away. I'll check in every so often.
