Malkin is scoring at an 80 point pace and didn't have the greatest year last season, so maybe his current owner starts doubting that Malkin can still hit 100 points and trades him for an 85 or 90 point player. You will have to overpay hugely to get Crosby or Stamkos as they are performing at or over expectation. They are not a Sell because they are legitimate in my eyes. If I see that a player is scoring above what I think their ceiling is, he becomes a Sell. I hope that makes sense. There was no science to it really, more of a gut feel on my part. - Russ Miller Fri, 26 Nov 2010 06:20:06 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3274-fantasy-indicators-of-success-centres-of-attention#comment-10101 I'm a little confused at how you decide whether someone is a Hold or a Buy. For example, Crosby and Stamkos are Holds and Malkin is a Buy. Is it because it's perceived Malkin may be easier to acquire due to his poor performance? - Evan Cook Thu, 25 Nov 2010 19:28:06 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3274-fantasy-indicators-of-success-centres-of-attention#comment-10099 Love these. Thanks Russ. - Pengwin7 Thu, 25 Nov 2010 16:53:32 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3274-fantasy-indicators-of-success-centres-of-attention#comment-10096 Trivia - Jeremy is right. Punch Broadbent, Ottawa Senators, 1921-22, 16 games Jaybominer - Took me a little time to research your question. Not an easy decision for you. The obvious - Roy, Pavelski and Dubinsky stay easily in your top five. That leaves two more spots. Zajac is a lesser player without Parise. I'd replace him with McDonald who gets nearly 4 mins of PPTOI. I think I'd go with Duchene as your number 5. I think he's just scraping the surface of his talent here. It was between him and Couture (believe it or not!?) Couture is getting top six minutes. The only thing he likely won't get (based on your stated needs G, SOG, PPP) is a lot of PP time, but that is your last criteria of importance. I think if Antropov was healthy to start the year, he would have been one of my top five, but he's not himself right now and starting the year coming off injury can affect your entire year. Arnott has the numbers right now, but I just don't trust him to continue putting up points at his age. Good luck with your decision.

Had Bergfors, Weiss, Fisher (for his good Oct) previously - all still available. Krejci, Antropov, Gomez, Arnott, McDonald, J. Staal are on the waiver wire. Eventually, I need to whittle this down to 5 centres - any thoughts? Looking forward to the western half. - Jaybominer Thu, 25 Nov 2010 09:09:25 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/russ-miller/3274-fantasy-indicators-of-success-centres-of-attention#comment-10091 Punch Broadbent (16 games)! - Jeremy Smith Thu, 25 Nov 2010 06:30:21 +0100
