I like him a lot, but PHX forward situation is always a tricky one to figure out.

He is worth adding, for sure. I really like his game. Who would you drop? Give me two or three candidates and I will weigh in.

Between Kyle Okposo, Matt Read and Ryan Johansen, who would you say has the most fantasy potential, in a keeper league with salary cap (actual salary, not caphit). Points only, hits / shots / PIMs irrelevant.

Thanks!

Johansen very easily.

start 10 fwds positions matter, G A PIM +/- hits blks ppp shp fow sog
23 pro roster spots.

would love to acquire him in as many leagues, im in many similar with the above cats that are keepers or dynasty. trying to assess tho what fair market value is for him so i dont fall victim to over paying with all the hype. if i have to pay a bit extra i might be okay with that but i dont want to get caught up in him and sell off someone who's equal in value and a sweetner to boot.

I wouldn't move Granlund + or Stepan + for him. Buying high right now, and I like both of those players. I'd move Stepan straight across, though. Granlund I am not sure... I'd probably hold off.

keep 7 now but will be a dynasty next season.

current keepers are OV seguin tavares pietrangelo rask b.smith nyquist

we carry over our farm too (grigs yakupov coyle mrazek) may keep khudobin if nyquist doesnt warrant a spot this season. goalies are kind of scarce.

been receiving a ton of interest in OV, and with it switching to a dynasty format next season maybe selling him for two or 3 good pieces now would be a good idea.

best offer so far thats interested me as far as who im receiving (had some fair market offers but they werent particularly appealing) and would like to know if i should ask for more coming back or not. not opposed to keeping OV either.

MY : OV + b.smith

for

HIS: Lucic + Weber

keepers would then be... Lucic, seguin, tavares, rask, weber, pietrangelo, nyquist/khudobin.

I'd pass for now - let Ovy have a full year under Oates first.

Thanks!

Like his game, but Nashville has a lot of depth and balance up front. And as you said, his ice time is lacking.

If he sees top six minutes and PP time, he is a 50-55 point guy (full season). If not, he's a 30-35 point guy. That is a big swing.

I'd wait another year at least, if you can, though.

1. Jeff Carter or Cody Hodgson for this season?
2. Do you think Conacher sticks with the top line in TB. Thought on him in general?
3. Looking into your crystal ball, what does Minnesota do with Backstrom?
4. Is Alex Steen a solid add or just asking for trouble (BAB)?
5. Zajac is just sitting on the FA list. Add or pass?

Cheers!

Carter

Yes I do - huge fan, love his skill, grit, an d tenacity

Re-signs him

Solid add and a BAB - as long as you know the risks, go for it

Add

There's the rub - I don't want to drop anyone! I suppose my best options to drop are Sgarbossa (but I really like what he's doing), Joe Colborne (but good upside), Gerbe (but just back!), Vatanen (but I really like his upside) or Khudobin (roll the dice with my 2 starters with no third goalie)... Maybe I'll try to trade Khudobin fast. Edit - flipped Khudobin for a pick and Bachman. So I could drop Bachman...

Thanks! Two more questions.
1. Do you think Kadri could be better choice than Kassian? It seems he gets premium PP Time in Toronto now and gives FOW as LW. Need LW actually (have only Dubinsky, Laich, J.Jokinen, Boedker and Erat for 3 spots) but Kassian is RW only in ESPN...
My other RW are Callahan, Gaborik, BURROWS (also Van), Parenteau, Simmonds, Erat (LW also).

2. Will you advice to trade RW Gaborik (Callahan is much more valuable according to HockeyPoolGeek) for LW Vanek? And Burrows (PIM and even a bit FOW) for Keith (ATOI, Blk)? Or Burrows for Vanek?

Help me identify the "sell highs" and "undervalued" in the squad in my signature? I am looking to upgrade on C but not sure who to trade.

Some quick rules: Our "bench" normally works as a farm team where players have to be added or dropped after 82 games played. Because of a late draft we have allowed two of the bench spots to be used for normal players the first two weeks, so 10 days from now I have to activate or drop Visnovsky.

Galchenyuk can be moved back to my bench in those same two weeks.

Thanks in advance!

ZamboniNation · #49 01-25-2013, 09:04 AM

League stats are G, A, PPP, FW,Hits, SOG, +/-

Considering the following waiver pickups: Diaz, Latandress, Grabner

Who you like more & who to drop from : M.Foligno, JCarlson, Spurgeon?

Thanks for the response. I would have to drop one of my CBJ guys, Atkinson or Johansen
