Also, just wanted to say that in the last year or so your writing has gotten noticeably better. Not just the quantity, which in itself is impressive, but also the quality. It's a pleasure reading your work. Keep at it

Thanks sir, that means a lot (especially from you).

Of those forwards... I like Chiasson the most. Stransky is very appealing too, but he's probably a few years away. Chiasson is ccloser.

I'd rank them:

Chiasson
Reilly Smith
Stransky
Austin Smith

I like Stalock of the two goalies.

open ended... depends how the other GM values your players.

Duchene could do it, but that may be overpayment. How about D. Hamilton and a prospect like Morrow or Beaulieu?

I was going to ask if in a standard category and position keeper league drafting today you would place Rask as a top 10 goalie. Howver, you did just that in your " Top 10 Keeper League Goaltenders." If drafting a keeper today, please explain what you see in Rask over proven vets like Luongo and Fleury.

As always, thank you for the response.

Ennis, for sure. Hodgson is simply too slow right now for top line responsibilities.

I like Boston a lot from a defensive standpoint, that's primarily why.

Is it out of the question to hope that he returns to his 46-50 point days?

Not at all. He should score 20-25 once again.

What is your prediction for Halak this year in terms of wins and shutouts and how big of a threat is Elliott?

Great move. Fantastic.

Halak - 30-35 wins, 7-10 shutouts. I think he wins out. Elliott is a threat, but not if Halak stays healthy.

ps. Check your email. You are too exalted to receive PMs from us townsfolk.

Jakub Voracek, for sure.

If that is too obvious of a choice.... Zajac? I guess he has a 67-point season to his name, though.

Derek Stepan is another dark horse if he clicks with Nash.

cdubb · #18 09-04-2012, 09:06 PM

League in sig:

Deciding on last spot (maybe more if you see a replacement) for my starting roster. I have Whitney pencilled in (see Ennis and him similar value in a roto league, though Ennis should see more SOG) but I'm debating between Whitney, Ennis and Perron for my last starter. Who would you recommend? If you see a better option on my bench (or even like one of those three more than Plekanec filling in for kesler, please let me know!

Thanks!

The Hockey Hitman · #20 09-04-2012, 09:55 PM
