As much as I enjoy your work, I feel short changed on this one. - Maximus Thu, 02 Dec 2010 05:12:06 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3286-15-points-to-consider#comment-10225 GREAT game by Gagner again tonight. He's looking better and better this year and it's only a matter of consistency. - doulos Wed, 01 Dec 2010 19:29:39 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3286-15-points-to-consider#comment-10219 Oilers nut here. I agree with Gagner but what is Hall going to gain by dominating kids again? 2 WJC and 2 memorial cup MVP's is enough. Renney is already using Hall-Horcoff-Eberle against other teams top lines and Hall is more than surviving. He is already out chancing. - frozenpools Wed, 01 Dec 2010 10:57:44 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3286-15-points-to-consider#comment-10218 Hall atleast played on the WJ team last year, not sure what the 'rules' are-but if theyre to be bent- then they should do it for Hall. Nabokov was the Jose Theodore of the west- great in the regular season-crap in the playoffs. But without Blake-their defense is one of the worst in the league-despite Dan Boyle being IMO a top ten Dman. I totally agree that both Gagner and Cogliano got rushed to the NHL. They were both handed NHL jobs and have yet to really improve at all. Maybe fighting for an NHL job/paycheque wouldve encouraged them to work on their games. Both tend to play on the periphery (especially Cogs-who doesnt seem to have much fight in him), the argument that Gagner is right behind Kane in scoring just shows how much icetime/opportunity he has been given,doesnt mean he wouldnt have turned out to be more of an impact player if he had spent some time in the AHL. - Larry Wed, 01 Dec 2010 10:20:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3286-15-points-to-consider#comment-10211 As I understand it, Hall is ineligible to join Canada's Junior team, because he did not take part in the summer camps. I am a big fan of allowing these young guys to play in the worlds, and if Boston allows Seguin to take part, he will be much better for it.

If it's great to be an owner of any ONE of those players that skate on the top PP, what is the expression for an owner that has FOUR of them. Four trades in the span of six month's landed me Daniel, Kesler, Ehrhoff, Edler. Not to mention I recently acquired Burrows as well. - Sergio Leone Wed, 01 Dec 2010 04:21:27 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3286-15-points-to-consider#comment-10207 I dont see how the World juniors would benefit Hall, or the Oilers. He's been 1 of the Oilers best players night in and night out. Seguin however, isnt playing as big a role for the Bruins and has never played at the World juniors, it could work. Good article, keep em coming - donions Wed, 01 Dec 2010 03:20:51 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3286-15-points-to-consider#comment-10206 Well yeah! The problem is guessing who is going to be good from one year to the next. - Shoeless Tue, 30 Nov 2010 21:28:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3286-15-points-to-consider#comment-10205 Love the article Jeff, but have to really wonder about the concern regarding Gagner. Not that I blame you though. I was starting to wonder myself, but a little perspective is needed on Gagner. Only 1 person from his draft class has more points than him (Kane) and only a couple others are close (Perron is...and maybe Voracek is getting starting to creep into the same ballpark) Not to mention Gagner has improved game over game this season to the point where I am really starting to become excited about his game yet again. He's a very good even strength player who has never proven to me to be a fantastic two-way guy. But he seems to have turned some kind of corner the past week and a half and it's really fun to watch. In Gagner you have a guy who seems to start slow during the season and then picks things up as the season goes along. One would expect consistency to improve as a guy ages and I'd say that's what we're seeing. He's often been miscast as the Oiler's #1 C, and that's not really all that fair. He's going to be an excellent, hard working 2nd line C who won't get a ton of powerplay time (because he really struggles with it for some reason, and because he's going to be overshadowed by the top end players), and at the end of a season when he's in his prime could be putting up between 60-70 points and really being an important part of good team. All of this hindsight guessing stuff is I suppose part of what we do in fantasy hockey, but in this case I think it's really hard to knock Gagner for what he has already accomplished and where his game is going. - doulos Tue, 30 Nov 2010 21:24:05 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3286-15-points-to-consider#comment-10204 haha i own d. sedin and edler in my keeper league and i have kesler in one of my one year drafts haha - Todd Dmitruk Tue, 30 Nov 2010 20:47:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3286-15-points-to-consider#comment-10203 [quote]I am surprised more teams don’t play an offensively gifted AHL player with two talented linemates in the top six, which leads to a trickledown effect strengthening every other line. [/quote] I totally agree! What is the point of bringing an offensively gifted player up and then plugging him in on the 3rd and 4th line and trying to teach him defense? Square peg - round hole. - David Tue, 30 Nov 2010 20:44:19 +0100
