I\'m a bit confused by something. Earlier in April, Dobber posted an interview on XM radio where he referred to Yashin as being cheap in fantasy terms due to beng in Nolan\'s chateau bow wow during the playoffs. Today, the monthly player rankings come out and Yashin moves from #115 to #81. WTF?

I know I have a feeble brain, but geez, something\'s got to be up here. Is the guy\'s value increasing or decreasing?

Maybe it is that Yashin\'s actual value is quite a bit higher but his perceived value is quite a bit lower.

If that makes sense at all.

I would take this to mean Dobber thinks Yashin is worth being picked about 81st among skaters but that he believes that Yashin could likely be had at a pick much later because his perceived value is not very high. Or another way to look at it - you can likely pick him up pretty cheap in a trade and he can produce good value for the price you paid for him.

Exactly. Balancing his potential with the risks and injuries, etc...and I place him 81st. However, in keeper leagues his value probably would be close to 120-150.

Hey, Dobber

Just wondering how you might compare Yashin with, say, Tuomo Ruutu. Both have good upside; both have baggage. I noticed that TR moved up in this month\'s rankings, too. In a keeper format, which would you prefer?
