Ok all you hockey heads, do you think Selanne will go on IR, and when??? I know it's up to the team to put players on IR, and although I like to blame Yahoo--I understand they are not the primary culprit in delays..... Selanne is out 4-6 weeks after DIY thigh surgery. The league I am in is only 7 teams, so there are plenty of point producers at forward available including: Hartnell, Kovalev, Sykora, Lucic, P Statsny, Hejduk, R. Whitney, Ryder , Knuble. I am currently in a dogfight for 2nd place, and wonder if I should dump Selanne, or have patience for him to be put on IR, or worst case scenerio - be DTD for 4-6 weeks? Anybody with a crystal ball, or suggestions would be appreciated!

Man, tough call, but I think I'd be patient for a week or so and see if he gets put on the IR, which you currently have empty and could throw him in. And to be honest I might even wait longer if he does keep that DTD status. Be nice to have him return for you down the stretch to your league playoffs. Plus there are so many good forwards to pick up and so few teams that if you do decide to hit the panic button with him and drop him, there should still be several nice forwards to pick up. My money is that they put him on the IR soon as they have already called up center Andrew Ebbett from the Iowa Chops to take his spot on the roster.

Thanks 4diving for the advice. I did see that the Ducks brought up Ebbett--so hopefully Selanne will go on IR soon. I will wait a week or so...Appreciate your help

yeah that's a really tough call... those are some great FA players. i'd give it a week to see if they put him on IR or not... if they don't after a week, then i'd probably start to think about dropping him (or trading him to someone more patient...)

More headaches from Selanne! Will he play or won't he play? Will he go IR or will he be DTD? I hope he NEVER plays again. He and Neidermayer (sp), and even my guy Mats Sundin. GO AWAY and stay away! Your prima donna indecision is nauseating!
