03/18/2013 11:26 Right on Schedule: Who should you drop this week?
The NHL schedule is interesting this week, potentially forcing some tough decisions in Fantasy. Brian Rutherford sorts through it all in his latest look at the league schedule.
David Booth was traded from Florida to Vancouver less than a month into the 2011-12 season. The change of scenery seemed like a great opportunity for Booth to return to his 60-point production from 2008-09, but an MCL sprain that sidelined him for over a month in the middle of the season ended up derailing his momentum. He finished his first stint in Vancouver with 29 points (16 G, 13 A) in 56 games. Despite the so-so finish in his first stint with the Canucks, Booth remains a decent sleeper heading into the 2012-13 season. He should lineup on the Canucks second line, which will eventually pair him with Ryan Kesler, who wont return to the lineup until December. A top-six spot on one of the leagues higher scoring teams will give Booth the opportunity to post some of the best scoring totals of his career if he can stay healthy. (Updated 8/14/12)
