Prospect Help
 

Below are my prospects - Same as my sig. I'm always looking to improve my roster. In a league this big, you have to sift for diamonds in the rough. There are a couple of players that I have my eye on - can't say who because I have two many Dobberites in my league.

I'd like to know which prospects are CAN'T CUT and which ones are worth letting go to take a chance on a couple dimamonds.

Thanks in advance.

FORWARDS

J.Audy-Marchessault - CBJ
B.Bennett - Pit

M.Frk - Det
J.Gaudreau - CGY
K.Kabanov - NYI
A.Killorn - TB
M.Nieto - SJS
M.Shalunov- Chi
M.Stransky - Dal
D.Tarasov - SJS
J.Vesey - Nsh

M.Reilly - CBJ

GOALIE

R.Helenius -TB

I'll answer half of your question to the best of my ability. I'm in a re-build myself and these are guys that I would look to hang onto:
Up front:

J.Audy-Marchessault - CBJ--shows promise
B.Bennett - Pit-Even just trade value should make him worthy of hanging onto(play with Malkin/Crosby?)
M.Frk - Det (has talent, but I'm not super high on him. I may consider moving him to take a shot)
J.Gaudreau - CGY(I don't know a ton about him, but others seem to be high on him)
K.Kabanov - NYI( I stil feel he has top six upside --eventually)
A.Killorn - TB (a chance at cracking the TB roster?)
M.Nieto - SJS (Don't know a ton about him either, but from what I've heard, he has speed to burn)

Back End:

N.Beaulieu - Mtl (Should be a good pt guy, I'd think a nice tandem with PK)
J.Morrow - Pit (Again I think trade value alone makes him a no-brainer. Should be a solid player with good upside)
A.Petrovic - Fla (Some feel he has PP QB written all over him, and he's putting up some PIM's as well.)


I hope this helps..although I'm definitely not the most knowledgeable on thses guys.

One87 (I was going to type 187 for short but isn't that the US penal code for first degree murder? I think there was a movie with Samuel L Jackson)...

That's a deep pool dude!!! I will admit right of the bat that there many guys there that I haven't heard of. But that, in and of itself, is somewhat of a clue as to who I think you should put on the "CAN'T CUT" list.

CAN'T CUT:

N.Beaulieu - Mtl
J.Morrow - Pit
A.Petrovic - Fla

That's a short list - sorry! But those three all have pretty good pedigree and potential.

Up front, I don't know if I'd characterize any of them as "CAN'T CUT" but you've got some good prospects there for sure. I guess it would be easier to list the guys I'd consider dropping to pick up one of your hidden gems. I'd consider dropping one or two of the more speculative / further away prospects like Shalunov, Tarasov, Vesey.

The bold ones are the ones I like and would have a hard time parting with in a 20 team league.

Keep:

FORWARDS
B.Bennett - Pit
J.Gaudreau - CGY
K.Kabanov - NYI
A.Killorn - TB
M.Nieto - SJS

DEFENSE
N.Beaulieu - Mtl
N.Deslauriers - LAK
J.Morrow - Pit
A.Petrovic - Fla

Every bit helps. Thanks for being honest. Rep to ya.

Yeah, LOL. You're right about 187. I'm playing off of that 'cause Sidney is a "killer", so to speak. And when you think of the #87, there's only one that comes to mind. Thanks, Dude. Food for thought. I may have to wait to rep you.

Wow. You like my D, so do I. ;) Nice list, Axe. You're making me think. I'll try to rep you as well.

I will say this, the guy is long-term, so swapping long-term for long-term may not be a bad idea.

Thanks DR. I appreciate the input, sir. Will try to rep.

Pretty much agree with what DR said - a few of those other guys I don't know much/anything about so can't really comment on them.
