Staal has only had one season where he has missed more than one game and has only missed 14 games in his entire career" I am sure there are going to be many people who will see your point [url = '[url=]http://www.htmlwijzer.nl'style='color:rgb(200,200,200)[/url]]online casino - Kyle Tue, 24 May 2011 04:16:25 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14112 One point to consider and maybe someone knows something i don't but is Selanne coming back? Selanne was the true catalyst to Ana pp and although i love Brendan Mcmillans style of play(assuming Mcmillan takes selanne spot on pp because i think blake will be gone)he is no Selanne and i think ppp could be down for all Anaheim players if this is the case. - Trevor Czerwinski Fri, 20 May 2011 06:47:26 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14082 My main league doesn't count PIMs, and I still find myself prefering Getz over Staal. That Anahiem powerplay is insane, and in a H2H league, I don't mind if Getz misses some games during the season as long as he's there at the stretch, during my playoffs, producing. You can expect Getz to win +/- next year, and I'd expect him to finish with 15+ points over Staal. Getz played a 93 point pace, and it wasn't even that good of a season. When I have the chance to draft someone with a chance at 100 points, vs someone who has a chance at 80 points, I'll take the 100. Part way through the season, you could if you wished, trade Getz for Staal+, and thats how I draft, by comparing the trade value. - duducks Thu, 19 May 2011 04:51:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14074 When drafting in pools with position requirements I rarely take a C early on as I concentrate on top wingers and Goalies in the first few rounds with a top D as well in the mix. I usually pick C's in the late rounds as there are always a ton of them with value later on. For instance Stastny, Richards (Mike and Brad), etc are often around in rounds 5-7. No need to waste a pick on any C's early IMO. - Marcus Lepkowski Wed, 18 May 2011 19:30:09 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14072 For me, I think I'd be choosing Staal over Getzlaf because obtaining a goal scoring shot producter seems to be just a little harder to find at the C position. As you pointed out, it looks that wearing the C for Getzlaf may see his PIMs drop somewhat, in this case making it a wash with Staal. Either would be an excellent choice, but Staal wins out for me. - Woodrow Wed, 18 May 2011 15:51:30 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14070 The Fact that staal crushes getz in sog is worth more than getz just getting by in PIM's as we all know PIMs is the easiest Cat to aqcuire. Keep up the good work boys - 5hole Wed, 18 May 2011 11:36:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14069 Love the choice for the cage match. The full amount of information here is great. You found a piece of gold... and you should make a BIG deal out of it for your readers. You kind of pull everything out of your pocket and say "Here is some lint, here is a nickel, here is a dollar bill, here is some gold, here is a french fry, here is an old band-aid." Pull that piece of gold out and say "HEY GUYS - I FOUND SOME EFFIN GOLD!". Eric Staal outperforms Getzlaf significantly in SOG, year in & year out. When people think Getzlaf they think PIM. PIM guys are typically grit guys and you [i]expect[/i] SOG. People perceive Getzlaf as a multi-cat monster because they assume, from the PIM, that he is very well-rounded. You present a flaw in Getzlaf that most people (myself included) weren't aware of: low SOG. Not only is Getzlaf's SOG low, but Staal's is quite high. You use 7 lines to explain a stat where they are essentially tied (PPP) and then you have one or two lines about SOG. [b]Hammer that SOG finding to death and beat your chest over its importance.[/b] Overall, good stuff. - Pengwin7 Wed, 18 May 2011 11:05:13 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14068 Getzlaf has consistently been ranked higher than Staal over the past three years. While 7-10 higher ranking may not sound like much in the top 30 it is a big deal. Fortunately, Getlaf has always been gone when it is my turn to draft. At least this very good article gives me pause and makes me rank them closer together to see who is available in the ranking. - mike hess Wed, 18 May 2011 09:04:44 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14065 and by DTDL I mean UHL ! ;D - GMGates Wed, 18 May 2011 08:07:10 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14064 I love this! I knew you would have a Staal article soon ;) Why I like it? In the DTDL, Getzlaf went 1.9 and Staal fell to me at 3.50 :-* Great article all around! - GMGates Wed, 18 May 2011 08:06:11 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14063 you are just killing it with this article series, Steve. awesome job. i think SOG centerman are THE most underrated fantasy hockey asset to own. - ultrawhiteness Wed, 18 May 2011 07:46:20 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14062 I too had a chance to deal Staal for Getz last season, I saw them as too close to call so I traded Staal for Hall and Subban instead. The next day that same GM traded Staal for Getz. Good write-up, these 2 have been the subject of a few debates in my league. - donions Wed, 18 May 2011 07:17:50 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14061 Great job Steve, nicely written. I'm with you regarding going for the categories that are harder to fill, and would take Staal between the two. - horrorfan Wed, 18 May 2011 06:49:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/3684-ryan-getzlaf-vs-eric-staal#comment-14060 I actually just had this exact choice in my 6 keeper league this past year. I view these two as a wash and ended up moving Getzlaf/Fleury for Staal/1st. - dennis Wed, 18 May 2011 06:46:25 +0100
