Hey Angus,

League in sig. Finished first last year, think I have a shot again this year. Should I trade my Seguin and Strome for Ovechkin?

Question 2, if you can. How many pts for Sullivan this year? Is he worth me using one of my 2 UFA signings on him? Thanks

G= Lundqvist, Pavelec.

Okay, my last questions:

Question #1: Which D will stand out most this year: Goligoski, Bieksa, Carlson, EJ, Carle, Souray?
Question #2: Would you add any of these guys over players currently on my team: Steen, Zajac, Roy, Filppula, Perron, Hodgson?

Thanks again for doing this!!

Thank Jeff for doing this.

I want your opinion about my team in sig. I really like my team and was really conifident last saturday, but after 6 days of hockey I am at 38 pts for 1st place and 27pts to the real cotender.

My keeper are not producing except Stlouis and Kharlson only 2pts from Lundy and Smith now he is injured and 0 pt from Ryan my 1st pick. Hope Smith will be back soon, my keeper start to produce and my goalie too, but don't know if he will be enough the gap is big and season short, it's tougher to regain pts.

What should I do starting thinking for next year upgrade keeper, draft pick and auction money I have already 4 good rookies who are free keeper next year in HUB, Tarasenko, Granlund and Schultz.

You already answer my question in your GREAT ARTICLE today THANK FOR IT : at #11. Don’t make panic moves or trades in your fantasy pool. This is even more important in a shortened season. With a smaller sample size, randomness and luck will both play larger roles in production and overall player/team success. Trust in your ability to evaluate talent, and don’t base anything on a one or two week sample size. I want a little more of your opinion about my team and league.

Thank in advance for your help.

Hi Angus,

Just wondering what your thoughts are on a couple of guys who many had high expectations for but are off to poor starts: Bobby Ryan and Tyler Ennis?

Hey Angus,
With Elliott sent down and Burns and Spurgeon hurt, should I try to make a move to improve my D now or wait a couple weeks before deciding?
Thanks

Angus,

I was shrewd enough to select Marleau at our auction draft in late September, and am obviously thrilled with his super start. The question is, in a keeper league, with salary cap I am faced with the question of trading him while everyone is hot to trot. If I felt my team could compete this season, I would be holding on, but I have had 2 offers made to me in the last couple of days and would love your opinion.

Offer #1:

Marleau

4

Dubinsky
2014 1st round pick (Amateur draft)
Brett Connolly

Offer #2

Marleau

4

Galchenyuk

Although the first offer seems more meaty, the point is Dubinsky would be a position fill, and not value to me going forward, and Connolly has to become an active roster player next season, and he has yet to assert himself at the NHL level.

Whereas Galchenyuk has 3 seasons before having to move to the active roster, and by all accounts will be MTL #1 center before that time.

You opinion is always valued!

Thanks Angus.

Puck

Hey Angus,

I'm in an 18-team keeper-league with the following scoring system: 16 players, 12 active (6F - 4D - 2G)
G: 3 pts A: 2 pts PPG : 2 pts SHG : 1 pt PIM : 0.25 pts +/-: 1 pt
Special Scoring for Defense
A: 3 pts G: 5 pts
Goalie Scoring
S: 0.2 pts SO: 3 pts W : 5 pts GA : 1 pt
Special Scoring for Goalies
A - 5 pts G - 10 pts

With Justin Faulk out with an upper body injury (whatever that means?) and Jake Gardiner looking a little rusty and being sent down, I'm thin at D. My team:
Eberle, Seguin, Jamie Benn, Huberdeau, Ennis, Stepan, Granlund, Kassian, Nyquist, OEL, Gardiner, Josi, Faulk, Voynov, Rask and Pavelec

I'm considering offering Grandlund for Brendan Smith. What are your thoughts on this? I like Subban, but I'm sure the price would be very high. Any other ideas that could help me at D while remaining young?

Thanks,
aMaK
