How would you rank these forwards in a keeper league perspective and why?

Jack Skille
Eric Fehr
Dan Fritsche

Same question, only with dmen instead:

Ladislav Smid
Cam Barker
Luc Bourdon
Braydon Coburn

The league is 12 teams deep, h2h and plays with 15 categories (although I haven\'t gotten a precise grip of which categories yet).

For the forwards:

Fehr - dominant in the AHL, its a matter of time before he will break through in the bigs. He has all the tools to be a dominant forward




Fritsche/Skille: both will max out as 3rd liners. Neither one of them has been dominant offensively in any league they have played in.

For the Defense:

Barker - Not a big fan of his however has way more offensive upside then the others listed. He is the only offensive dman out of the bunch. Bourdon, Coburn and Smid will never have much fantasy value.

To piggyback on that, I\'d like to point out that Fehr\'s already playing a decent amount of time in the NHL. Also, Skille has a pretty big talent pool ahead of him on the depth chart.

As said before, Barker\'s got the best upside offensively.

12-team H2H weekly points league, 2LW/2RW/2C/4D/2G

LW: Ovechkin, Vanek, Prospal
C: Savard, Getzlaf, Frolik
RW: St. Louis, Doan, Hossa
D: Green, Niedermayer, Kaberle, Goligoski, Letang
G: Miller, Steve Mason, Osgood
Farm: Hodgson, Tangradi, Markstrom, Neuvirth

I\'d take Skille. Clark/Kozlov are the top two wingers, and the Capitals are set for bottom line RW\'s as well. In terms of other prospects, there is Fleischmann (who will probably be moved), and Francois Bouchard.

Skille is behind Havlat and Kane in terms of offensive RW\'s.. but one is the king of band-aid boys and the other one is a rookie like him.

Fehr has a better upside, so it depends what you want. Both of them are pretty safe bets to be at least second line wingers.

I am a huge fan of Fritsche, but he won\'t ever be a huge scorer. He is fiesty as hell, but is going to max out as a very valuable 2nd/3rd line player who can pop 25 goals.

As for the defensemen, I\'d probably opt for Barker, even though I\'ve never been a fan of is. Coburn looked fantastic in Philly and should break the 30 point barrier this season, but he projects to be more of a two-way guy than an offensive producer like Barker.

Bourdon\'s offensive development has stagnated and I see Smid in the Ohlund/Kenny Jonsson mold.
