I think those would be more interesting to see than the range. - Nigel Tue, 13 Jul 2010 16:54:18 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2964-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-two#comment-7052 RE: Dallas Those players in the Cavalry I think could be more productive than you think. Ott did register 272 points in 209 contests in juniors. I know junior numbers vs NHL numbers are a completely different ballpark, but with those numbers he does show offensive upside. Brunnstrom I think is more talented than his numbers show. I mean how productive can you really be when you've averaged 10:40 and 11:37 in the past 2 seasons, plus the fact that every 2nd game you were a healthy scratch... I actually want to see him used productively before labeling him as a bust. I personally think he could easily replace Neal's production if given the opportunity. Maybe Neal walks and opens the door for Brunnstrom. Or Brunnstrom walks and goes to a team who'll use him properly. - Ryan Ma Tue, 13 Jul 2010 12:04:58 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2964-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-two#comment-7051 RE: Vancouver The thing is Raymond might have priced himself out of Van... 53 points last year, I could see him asking into the $3 or $3.5 range or going into arbitration (I dunno if he has elected to take that route already). Huse at $4.75 doesn't seem that much more expensive than Raymond especially if they move Bieksa's $3.75 back the other way too. My top-six as of right now would see Sedin-Sedin-Samuelsson Huse-Kesler-Burrows which would be able to compete against all of the teams in the NHL to be honest. - Ryan Ma Tue, 13 Jul 2010 11:57:54 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2964-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-two#comment-7050 RE: Benn Correct Benn is signed, my mistake. - Ryan Ma Tue, 13 Jul 2010 11:29:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2964-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-two#comment-7049 RE: Winger positions As stated at the start of the column, the line combos are arbitrary. They're fluid. Mueller and Stewart might be listed as a RW to start the season, but most pool providers will either add dual eligibility or keep status quo during the season and constantly change. So even though I might have some players listed on their "off wings", players change their positions all the time. Use the info just for reference got top-six vs bottom-six, don't worry too much about where they're going to play. - Ryan Ma Tue, 13 Jul 2010 11:27:51 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2964-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-two#comment-7046 That roster spot is open only until Raymond gets signed, since he is a restricted free agent one should assume this will get done. Sedin/Sedin/Burrows Raymond/Kesler/Samuellson Malhotra/Hodgson/XXXXXXXXX (I have a feeling it will be schroeder Rypian/XXXXXXX/Orescevich -cheers - steve Tue, 13 Jul 2010 10:12:02 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2964-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-two#comment-7038 some of these wing positions are wrong. - Andre Tue, 13 Jul 2010 08:14:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2964-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-two#comment-7036 Benn is under contract for this season and next. Brunnstrom is the one who's an RFA this season along with Neal. - Martin Tue, 13 Jul 2010 07:40:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/2964-earmarked-for-success-west-2010-part-two#comment-7033 wow- how quickly things have improved for the Avs versus fallen for the Stars. Dallas' top 2 lines look ok, but there isnt much on the bottom two other than grit/sandpaper- any injury or holdout on their top2 lines is gonna hurt. Throw in their lacklustre D-core and the fact their new goalie is the often injured Lehtonen...im thinking its gonna be a long year for Dallas. they could easily be in the lottery next year. - Larry Tue, 13 Jul 2010 07:10:10 +0100
