Koivu and Hemsky; Keith and one of the cheap ones or Gonchar and Carle (probably not Keith for 7.9m although it is tempting); just plain questions such as Kopitar vs Stastny vs Spezza vs zetterberg vs Hossa - the list goes on and on. i don't think this is an actual question, in the end, but there are only so many places in society which understand familiar plights about hockey pools :( - Noam Tue, 14 Sep 2010 23:00:17 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/40-ian-fergusson/3101-hes-ba-a-ack-fergusson-audits-your-team#comment-8294 I offered the Parise deal officially, and the other owner rejected. Was just offered OEL and Crawford for Boyle and H. Karlsson, and I accepted that. - Gareth Bush Tue, 14 Sep 2010 05:51:19 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/40-ian-fergusson/3101-hes-ba-a-ack-fergusson-audits-your-team#comment-8292 Dobber projects Kulikov for 34 pts this season in the guide and i agree that he's a candidate for a big year this season. i was targeting him in trade discussions because of the belief that he's about to explode. he'll get PP2 time and should have more than decent contributions this year. you list a bunch of names there and in terms of salary and stats that they'll put up i suspect that Ennis will fit at the bottom of that list for this season. longterm he'll jump up ahead of some names but it's always hard to evaluate talent that hasn't shown up in the league prior to this. he has significant value in a dynasty keeper but if names like those on your list aren't claimed then i'll say that his value drops like a stone. i hope i understood your semi-question enough to give you some info to go on. - Ian Fergusson Tue, 14 Sep 2010 04:22:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/40-ian-fergusson/3101-hes-ba-a-ack-fergusson-audits-your-team#comment-8288 kulikov this early? i've had a perverse infatuation with him from every pre-nhl minute i've ever seen him play, and think he'll easily be a steady 40+ some day, but can florida's massive juggernaut of an offense truly take him that far yet? and is there any chance he won't sit around -10, especially if his TOI goes way up? secondly, any specific and/or ballpark for ennis just this year? one of my pools this year is a non-draft, just salary capped, one - a bit hard to explain all of it, but it's pretty much a one big box draft in the end (in that you're picking between players in all price ranges and just fitting under the cap in the end) - and i'll have to decide between a bunch of players like ennis, duchene, tavares, giroux, leino, voracek, hall, well... the list goes on, you pretty much get the point. it's just points = 1 and +/- = 1, so that factors into it against some people like kulikov and tavares, potentially. sorry for the long, well, semi-question! - Noam Tue, 14 Sep 2010 00:54:15 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/40-ian-fergusson/3101-hes-ba-a-ack-fergusson-audits-your-team#comment-8268 I think the Sunday Morning Armchair would be welcome here :) - sentium Sun, 12 Sep 2010 14:43:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/40-ian-fergusson/3101-hes-ba-a-ack-fergusson-audits-your-team#comment-8265 probably not actually. the site where my blog has been for the last couple years is moving a different direction and i'm highly doubting that i'll continue it. i'll probably miss doing the armchair though, it was always a lot of fun. - Ian Fergusson Sun, 12 Sep 2010 11:59:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/40-ian-fergusson/3101-hes-ba-a-ack-fergusson-audits-your-team#comment-8264 Ian, are you still going to have your Sunday Morning thoughts blog posted anywhere? - james m yates Sun, 12 Sep 2010 10:20:59 +0100
