Its certainly possible that it should have been obvious to me that Doughty didn't require mention because he's ahead of those others. If I'm wrong, then I'm wrong. I'm definitely not one to argue with reality. So, maybe I'm the only one who is confused by such things. If that's the case, then I guess I have to live with it :) - jason Thu, 16 Dec 2010 10:20:02 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10577 No offense to Jason but I think most people will understand that list. I didn't even think twice about it. I bet the more you visit this site Jason the less questions like that you will have. - hockeytowner Wed, 15 Dec 2010 15:45:37 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10564 "As for Nabokov, I am sure his being with his sick child is more important to him then helping Tampa Bay fill their need for a goaltender. Just a hunch." If that's true, then why did you pick him up? - Chewd Wed, 15 Dec 2010 09:33:22 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10559 Gotcha. But I hope you do realize that you can't expect your readers to make that inference. What's "obvious" to a hockey writer is probably not obvious to the average hockey enthusiast. Considering his struggles, some of us may have been wondering whether or not Doughty's stock has fallen this year. Anyway, I suppose that is why the comment section is so valuable. Gives the reader a chance to point out anything that is unclear, and gives you a chance to clarify. - jason Wed, 15 Dec 2010 07:24:28 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10548 Jason, I assumed most would realize Doughty's admission from the list being due to his games played at the NHL level. He is obviously better than any I listed. - Jeff Angus Tue, 14 Dec 2010 18:26:29 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10545 Ummm... Have you heard of Drew Doughty? He should definitely be #1 on your Top 5 D-Men list. He's certainly young enough for your list. He's actually younger than 2 of the players on the list (McBain and Shattenkirk). - jason Tue, 14 Dec 2010 13:46:28 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10537 2 - Absolutely agree 4 - Ditto 10 - As Rossi pointed out, Gallagher was cut 11 - Interesting tidbit: The Pacific division has been one of the most offensively potent divisions this year. I think the stat quoted in last night's Stars-Sharks game was that all five teams are in the top half of the league in terms of goals scored. 11.5 - Benn has been playing on the wing the last couple of times I've seen the Stars play... 12 - Interesting thought, but why would the Avs want to move a cheap, puck-moving D-man? 13 - This may be why you're not a GM. haha Nabokov is in North America, or at least the GM of his KHL team said that he would be "on the next flight back". Also worth noting that he has so far had talks with three teams, one of which is the Lightning. - Kudelski's Krushers Tue, 14 Dec 2010 09:40:12 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10536 Ummm, Halak played pretty well in the playoffs Tim. Relax. Montreal D should get a lot of credit too but you dont beat Sid and Ovi lead teams with poor goaltending. As for Nabokov, I am sure his being with his sick child is more important to him then helping Tampa Bay fill their need for a goaltender. Just a hunch. - flaupmes Tue, 14 Dec 2010 09:32:45 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10535 Enough with this 'Washington lost to a hot goalie' crap. I hate how everyone claims Halak was MTL's 'playoff saviour'. Regular season: 2.40 gaa, 0.924 sv%, 0.633 winning% Post season: 2.55 gaa, 0.923 sv%, 0.500 winning % His numbers in the playoffs were WORSE than in the regular season. I'm not saying he played poorly, the 0.923 sv% says otherwise. But stop acting like he was crap before and suddenly became unreal for the playoffs. - Tim Johnston Tue, 14 Dec 2010 08:09:54 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10531 Wow - McBain over Shattenkirk and Pietrangelo. That surprises me. I guess only time will tell, but I think Shattenkirk has more talent and is in a better long-term situation (I'd rather be an offensive D in Colorado than Carolina). I'm not a huge Pietrangelo fan, but I can understand the reasons others are high on him.

I made the forecast early in the year that Luongo's stats would see a bit of a hit from Mitchell's departure. Bobby Lu's best VAN numbers will be the 06/07, 07/08, and 08/09 years when Mitchell was so key to VAN's defense. Averaged ~ 2.35gaa & .920 sv%. Last year (Mitchell injured for much) and this year, average ~ 2.55gaa & .912 sv%. On a similar note, I predicted Jimmy Howard to lead goalies in points in a W(2) SO(3) league this year. But I think Nicklas Lidstrom's eventual retirement will knock Howard down from a top 5 fantasy goalie to a 10-15 fantasy goalie. Howard owners would be wise to sell high on the kid this year if they can keep points already accumulated. Often lost in fantasy league's is the impact of losing a defensive defensemen. BUF lost Tallinder (+13) & Lydman (+10) from last year's squad. Big difference to Miller's numbers. And the Kings - well... 11-3 with Mitchell in the line-up. Point Pace for LA w/healthy Mitchell = 129pt season. - Pengwin7 Tue, 14 Dec 2010 04:31:49 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10528 Looks like your Team Canada darkhorse just got cut today - Rossi Tue, 14 Dec 2010 03:05:09 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3316-15-points-to-consider#comment-10527 Angus! What do you see from Morin this season & next? - Jerry Mon, 13 Dec 2010 21:12:57 +0100
