I think it will actually hurt a little bit.

I got Ribiero really late in my draft, am I missing something or is he going to be a steal this year?

Ohh, tough one...I'd have to say Connolly, since Fehr is still six weeks off.

I would rather Eberle in a keeper. Otherwise, I think Downie's 180 PIM and 40 points is pretty sweet for this season.

2 part question.

What are your thoughts on Chris Krieder (Potential, Upside, NHL Debut etc....)


Also would this be a good trade Kreider for Versteeg and Lupul and a 2nd in 2012. (I own Versteeg/Lupul)

#keeperleague #rebuildmode

1. Long term upside for Landeskog in peripherals (Hits, Shots). Will he end up long term with Duchene or Stastny?

2. How long before Cam Fowler is the undisputed PPQB in Anaheim (How long before Lubo hangs it up?)

3. What will be the ultimate outcome in Nashville with Rinne and Lindback.....ditto in New York with Quick and Bernier, as well as Boston with Thomas and Rask.

4. Will Phil Kessel ever be a PPG player?

5. How quickly will Winnipeg be able to make that organization into one that can top 90 points?

6. Will the Caps bounce back offensively this season, for my sake, namely Ovi and Semin.

You've got Gudbranson pretty high in your prospect D rankings -- is he a decent point threat in the future?

What kind of upside can I expect long term (points-only)?

I won it all last season, and I should contend again this year.

Any advice on how to upgrade this team?

Like the first two deals.

Did not like the last deal. Think you overpaid for Kopitar who, in that format, is not as good as Kesler as a keeper.
