TJ Oshie to get 69 points? For real? This season? I just don't see that happening. I would have him around the 55-60 range. Why so high? - Rossi Mon, 01 Nov 2010 11:32:46 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3212-cracking-the-st-louis-conundrum#comment-9388 Good stuff Angus. STL to me is a lot like Nashville in that they need to have a balanced, goals-by-committee style. Otherwise they're cooked. @Shane - EJ's projections always seem a little higher than the should be. I don't even draft him anymore. - Greg F Mon, 01 Nov 2010 04:55:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3212-cracking-the-st-louis-conundrum#comment-9383 [quote]I have long thought Boyes would be an ideal fit in Pittsburgh, but the Penguins would have to clear up some salary. I could see something involving Kunitz and a prospect (Simon Despres, for example) working.[/quote] That could work - for the Blues. Pittsburgh wouldn't even consider that kind of trade. Despres is Pittsburgh's best prospect (yes, better than Tangradi) and there's no way in hell he's being traded for someone like Boyes. Like Pens would ever trade their top prospect for an underproducing and overpaid scorer. Despres almost made the team as a 19 year old and is going to have a bright future - with the Pens. I can't even see Kunitz being traded straight up for Boyes. Kunitz does the little things well and brings a lot of physicality to our top-6. Boyes is really only good when he's scoring and he hasn't even been doing that for some time now. - Carcillo Mon, 01 Nov 2010 00:33:00 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3212-cracking-the-st-louis-conundrum#comment-9382 Any adjusted projection for EJ? I drafted him thinking around 50, but he's killing me so far... - Shane Sun, 31 Oct 2010 19:30:45 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3212-cracking-the-st-louis-conundrum#comment-9381 Thanks Jeff. Your conclusion about Perron was just the confirmation I needed to pick him up. Also, since you evidently know who's a center, who's a wing, and who's both, how would you feel about moonlighting for Yahoo? - John Hillburg Sun, 31 Oct 2010 19:21:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3212-cracking-the-st-louis-conundrum#comment-9380 Very sassy, Greg. :) Mike - St. Louis stinks? This is a STRONG hockey club, both fantasy and in real life. You just need to have realistic expectations and know who to draft and what to expect. Backes is a year away? He's 27. Prime. - Jeff Angus Sun, 31 Oct 2010 19:21:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3212-cracking-the-st-louis-conundrum#comment-9379 [quote]He is a player who will never be as valuable in fantasy hockey as he is in the real world, unless statisticians find some way to quantify energy.[/quote] Energy = Mass * Speed of Light^2 :P - Greg Brightman Sun, 31 Oct 2010 19:15:40 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3212-cracking-the-st-louis-conundrum#comment-9378 Sorry Angus..have to disagree...based ont the payroll...McDonald, Boyes et all are not doing that well...and it is unclear they will in the future..too many young guys who are inconsistent from game to game...Perron, OShie, and Backes are still a year away from showing thier stuff.. - mike hess Sun, 31 Oct 2010 19:12:19 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3212-cracking-the-st-louis-conundrum#comment-9377 Agree definitely about the Oshie being their best player other than Halak. And as a Boyes owner, think you were kinda generous on him. After his year last year, I thought he'd come out a lot strong than this. Definitely disappointed in him. - Jake Sun, 31 Oct 2010 18:53:25 +0100
