I think his production continues to fall so a 7 is mighty high.... - mike hess Tue, 24 Apr 2012 04:37:57 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13586 Yes where would you rank Hartnell? - Ian /nifty mittens Tue, 26 Apr 2011 07:20:00 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13578 Great, thanks! - iamlilc Tue, 26 Apr 2011 04:37:01 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13574 Definitely, yes. Datsyuk for sure. - Jeff Angus Mon, 25 Apr 2011 18:56:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13566 Yea, that makes sense. I was just under the impression that they were because you said Datsyuk and Marleau count as a LW in the ramblings last week when you asked us to guess the top 10. For curiosity sake, without analyzing it to much - would any of the C/LW or RW/LW in yahoo have made the list over Kane and/or Sharp? - iamlilc Mon, 25 Apr 2011 08:38:56 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13564 iamlilc - I wanted to use accurate positions. Sure they play have LW eligiblity now, but for the most part they play other positions more (so I will include them on those lists). Makes little sense to have Datsyuk or Nash on multiple lists. Also - if they aren't really playing the position, it is only a matter of time until they lose the eligibility. - Jeff Angus Mon, 25 Apr 2011 07:27:21 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13563 Angus, As usual, QUALITY in the article. I really like how you take the time to break everything down rather then throwing up a sentence and a prediction. I really have no disagreement at all with this list. Question for you though because you mentioned a very good point. I love Benn. I really do. But as you have pointed out, the days of Benn being a LW are probably numbered. That being said, I realize that he is higher on this list than E.Kane but would it be wise to look into trading Benn (future C) straight up for Kane knowing that Kane is going to be a LW for years. This is of course assuming the same categories that you have already used for your article. - bball Mon, 25 Apr 2011 07:22:35 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13561 You mentioned earlier that you were using yahoo positions, so I wanted to know if Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Heatley, Semin and Nash just didn't make the cut or weren't included at all? - iamlilc Mon, 25 Apr 2011 06:45:54 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13551 This is a very, very well prepared list. I had to read through it three times to find anything I could argue/expand upon. Well done!!! The E.Kane summary is perfect (others will outperform next year, but maybe not in year 2 & 3 from now). Advice on J.Benn possibly sliding to C is a good note for readers. The "even-strength" point total note on B.Ryan is a very keen statistical finding... because players that can score ES will eventually get every opportunity to rack up the PPP. I really have very little to contribute, except that I think it is worth putting some dot-dot-dots between the rankings. 1,2... 3,4,5... 6,7,8,9... 10&HMs. [b]BIG THUMBS UP![/b] - Pengwin7 Mon, 25 Apr 2011 04:44:21 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13542 Also - a top 20 to 25 list would be useful, for sure. I'll stick to the top 10, and I'll do my best to shed light on some sleepers and hidden gems in the daily ramblings and with my 15 Points to Consider columns. If you ever have a specific player question, I am usually good about responding to emails within two or three days. - Jeff Angus Sun, 24 Apr 2011 20:40:29 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13541 Standard categories - G, A, +/-, PPP, SHP, PIM, SOG. Heatley is a RW. - Jeff Angus Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:52:04 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13540 Heatley? Not even an honourable mention? or is he "primarily RW"? - jbot Sun, 24 Apr 2011 18:17:57 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13538 Can you please define "standard keeper league rules and scoring categories." Thanks! Great series! - Ryan Sun, 24 Apr 2011 14:41:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13537 Great feature as always Angus! Although like back check mentioned, expanding to top 20-30 would be very informative. That said, where would you rank Hartnell? 8) - GMGates Sun, 24 Apr 2011 14:38:29 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13536 Angus, this, like the other top 10 keeper articles, is great. It is informative, it tells us that older players like Sedin are worth keeping for several years to come. It tells us that younger players like Kane or Hall may be worth more, faster than others might expect. However, for people in keeper leagues, the top 10 lists are not that useful. All the players on such lists are long gone, and usually over valued for the very reasons Angus identifies. I am sure some folks in keeper leagues really like them, but I know as an avid reader that I'd love to see something that rates the keeper LW who are a little lower down the scale. I know that there are articles on top LW prospects, top LW under the radar, top LW rookies, even top LW multi-catagory players. What fantasy keeper league players rarely get is an analysis of the players that actually make or break teams - the guys who fill the bottom half of your roster, who other players might actually be wiling to trade. In deeper keeper leagues the difference between winning and losing is rarely the play of your stars (o.k. if you don't have some you don't win), its the play of the LW who gets you 50 points, some SHP, and some extra FW (or hits, or PPP). Please keep the great articles coming, but also consider giving us the benefit of your expertise on the top LW ranked 25-35 too. thanks - back check - back check Sun, 24 Apr 2011 13:55:01 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13535 Jeff, I really enjoy this series. - Shoeless Sun, 24 Apr 2011 13:43:51 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13534 thank you for bolding Ryane Clowe. I'm very high on him non fantasy wise, even though he still is valuable in fantasy. He's just a monster out there - Kevin Luu Sun, 24 Apr 2011 13:18:55 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13533 Peryy is the most gifted on that line. Ryan's good but Perry is at another level in terms of creativity. - DuklaNation Sun, 24 Apr 2011 12:09:40 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13532 I think marchand isn't far off! - Chad Burly Sun, 24 Apr 2011 11:27:16 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/jeff-angus/3642-top-10-keeper-league-left-wingers#comment-13531 cogliano? - Ian Sun, 24 Apr 2011 11:00:30 +0100
