Lots of good insight. Love it!

And Marleau was invisible; same applied to JT only DH was putting in the effort. Only recently, like the last 4 games, has he looked individually dangerous (i.e. not waiting for JT/DH to feed him the puck on a silver spoon). Maybe the 4L or 5L woke him up. He looks good at the moment on the Pav/Seto line. Hopefully you sat him starting 2011. I'd play him now vs most teams. When Clowe returns, one of Marleau, Pav, or Seto moves down. Hopefully Couture stays on the 1st line (I own him) but he'll likely reunite with Clowe. I predict the "new" Marleau up and Seto down. - Scott Tue, 18 Jan 2011 19:26:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3391-advancers-and-decliners#comment-11229 [b]RE: Edler[/b] Hahahaha yeah I saw that and was well that makes me look like an idiot... - Ryan Ma Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:57:22 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3391-advancers-and-decliners#comment-11228 Edler must have read your article today and was a little pissed off so he scored the first goal of the game LOL!!! - Jason Paquette Tue, 18 Jan 2011 13:18:32 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3391-advancers-and-decliners#comment-11226 [b]RE: Marleau[/b] Sometimes the numbers don't always line up. He's getting all of the numbers you'd expect for a point-per-game player, but sometimes I think its the motivational factor that's really limiting him. From the games that I've watched in the last few weeks he's very much like Edler in a way that he's a "phantom" player. He's on the ice but not really doing anything. I think it's similar to the what he did in 2007-09... where the points really dried up and the motivation to put the puck into the net just wasn't there. The SOG are there, but it's the 20 foot shots with no one screening, so it becomes the "easy" save for the goalie, instead of the driving to the net and just roofing it types... I think he's a "sell low", use the fact that he's playing on the Sharks and JT and Heatley and just sell him as a point per game guy... if you can pick up a "real 75-80" point guy (Bobby Ryan, Dustin Brown, Rick Nash, Ryan Kesler types) you're making out ok. I think he finishes with 60-65, 70 I think is a bit of a reach unless he shows me more motivation. - Ryan Ma Tue, 18 Jan 2011 12:04:52 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/amato/3391-advancers-and-decliners#comment-11224 Ryan, Love your articles and your methodology to determine which players will rebound and which ones will not. Unfortunately, I'd like to have a better explanation/expectation level on Marleau. He's playing 3:48 on the PP and has registered the most SOG for SJ. He has been quite consistant on these two stats throughout the season. I do agree that he's way off pace to get 80. He's on pace for 60. Is this the pace you think he'll keep, or is it realistic to hope he'll reach 70? I never watch SJ games. - Alexandre Lussier Tue, 18 Jan 2011 10:41:33 +0100
