That will go a long way in determining how GMs view keeper value.

I can't see many people taking an injury Crosby over a healthy Ovechkin, even with Ovechkin's struggles this year. All things considered, I still consider Ovechkin, Malkin, and Crosby in a class to themselves, but each year I often interchange their order. Right now, for obvious reasons, I have Malkin first, Ovechkin second, and Crosby third. Of course I'm sure there are some who still have Crosby ahead of Ovechkin. I'm definitely interested in seeing how the individual battles pan out. - SeaDawg Thu, 16 Feb 2012 14:46:23 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4386-cage-match-the-tournament#comment-19463 Thanks Shoeless, I was hoping this would be a hit. There may or may not be plans in place for other such tournaments. Group of Death, nice Wes. Crosby’s fate is easily the most intriguing story line in this whole tournament. He could get knocked off by anyone, or he could win the whole thing. Such a wildcard. BTW, anyone interested in doing over/unders for this thing? You gotta think Crosby is a 20 vote favourite in round one. - steve laidlaw Thu, 16 Feb 2012 09:52:28 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4386-cage-match-the-tournament#comment-19462 Shoeless, thank you, I thought I was the only thinking that the absence of Crosby in the discussion of the final four was odd not to mention silly. The mere fact that fantasy GMs are latching on to him tight as ever, despite his latest spate of injuries, is indicative in and of itself of his other worldly value. If concussion and vertebrae issues aren't enough for GMs to give up on his ungodly high end upside....how much more valuable can a player be?? - bomm Thu, 16 Feb 2012 09:38:11 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4386-cage-match-the-tournament#comment-19456 Group of Death is by far the Richards bracket. Final 4 - Malkin, Datsyuk, D. Sedin, Stamkos - wes Thu, 16 Feb 2012 05:47:45 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4386-cage-match-the-tournament#comment-19449 Wonderfully creative, Steve. Got D and G ones ready to go? By the tone of the comments already posted, I must have missed Crosby's passing. - Shoeless Wed, 15 Feb 2012 20:40:32 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4386-cage-match-the-tournament#comment-19447 Dobber is correct, this is more about the individual battles along the way but there is definite room for some upsets to take place. Based on the polls I did with the writers to come up with the brackets the top eight, the top four and even the top two are far from solid. - steve laidlaw Wed, 15 Feb 2012 19:44:06 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4386-cage-match-the-tournament#comment-19442 Now this is even better than "March Madness"! Fun idea. 8) - Let' s Go Rangers Wed, 15 Feb 2012 11:50:41 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4386-cage-match-the-tournament#comment-19440 I would suggest that this is mostly about the individual battles leading up to the obvious final. They will prove interesting and enlightening. Most of them. - Dobber Wed, 15 Feb 2012 10:27:29 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4386-cage-match-the-tournament#comment-19439 I love the idea, but it is pretty clear it will be Malkin vs Stamkos in the end, with Malkin coming out ahead. I'll even go so far as to predict the final 4 as Malkin, Ovechkin, H. Sedin, and Stamkos. There are some intriguing battles, though. - SeaDawg Wed, 15 Feb 2012 10:03:45 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4386-cage-match-the-tournament#comment-19438 Oooohhhh Daniel vs. Henrik :P - emustyle Wed, 15 Feb 2012 09:48:48 +0100 http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index.php/columnistsarticles-mainmenu-77/laidlaw/4386-cage-match-the-tournament#comment-19436 Obviously it's going to come down to Ovie/Malkin vs Stamkos, but sinec Malkin is Score, we all know what the end result is going to be ;D - r22yu Wed, 15 Feb 2012 09:25:07 +0100
