Hey Dobber,

Who plays more this year?

DiPietro or Jacob Markstrom?

[Dobber]

Thanks Dobber!

Does Cory Schneider get traded before the start of next season?

Player comparison for Nino Niederreiter in regards to points and progression, i'm thinking Vanek?

Stewart or Berglund in a points only keeper?

Does Cory Schneider get traded before the start of next season?
I would guess that, yes

Player comparison for Nino Niederreiter in regards to points and progression, i'm thinking Vanek?
Better than Vanek, though Vanek surged quickly. Nino won't surge as quick, but will be better.

Stewart or Berglund in a points only keeper?
I like Berglund better. Healthier

Hey Dobber,

What do you see for David jone point range for future? A 60-65 pt peak?

[Dobber]

I play in a 14-team pts league. We use team goalies (TG) instead of individuals.
I own TB TG and STL TG is on the wire. I realize how Halak and Roly are rated in your top 50 but I am wondering if I should grab STL now?? or maybe keep TB and p/u STL somehow??
btw, I used the draft list from the kit to pick a 12-man NHL pts pool team (21-teams). I definitely pissed a few guys off more than once with some of my picks. Built a decent team, too. Last 4 picks: Pacioretty, Shattenkirk, Suter, Ry.Whitney.
Thanks for the guide and draft list and the excellent daily updates and thoughts. much appreciated.

I don't know the categories...if it's just wins/so, then TB. Otherwise STL

[Winterburn]

Has Elliot some value right away?

And is Roman Horak going to be better center than his father?

[DobberManiac]

Hey Dobber,

with news that markov is gone atleast another month (IMO) whiich dman you go with this year and keeper pts only:

campoli
stralman (will be signed)
kubina
coliacovo

thx Dobber!

[Jason_guy]

What do you see for Matthias? He worries me how he keeps dropping.

[nyr94x]

I'm in a 1yr non keeper league. Categories are G, A, +/-, pims & ppp. Wondering who you would take between Fleischman and Penner?? Thanks for the advice

[mula]

Connolly TB or Johansen CBJ? I need to pick the one who will get me the most points, shots, hits, PIMS this year. Thanks Dobber!

[corky]

Hey Dobber, I drafted a 1 year league last night, G A PIM +/- PPP SHP SOG HITS BLOCKS W SAVES SVP SO. 10 team league.

I drafted Setoguchi, but I am thinking some other better options are out there, who do you like out of:

Setoguchi
Purcell
Brett Connolly
Okposo
Oshie
PM Bouchard

Also If you had to pick 2 Defensemen who would you roll with?
Leopold
Meszaros
Robidas
Elliot
Blum
Larsson
Ian White
Bogosian


Thanks!

[Jason_guy]

What do you see in Jones and matthias? Jones I'm thinking will peak around 60, and matthias I'm not sure about becuase he keeps dropping in potential.

[Blackie_O]

Dobb,

I have Cody Franson as a depth D-man. I am hearing rumblings he is well down the depth chart in T.O. That being said what do you think about Weber in MTL? Does he actually take a PP spot so I can dump Franson?

I know we're not talking about the stars here but I value the depth guys just as much in case someone goes down.

Thanks.

[A Watch]

Simple points only box pool and we pick 7 guys not listed.... We get no moves so I need to pick one of RNH, Dalpe, or Latendress for my final spot. Worried RNH will be send down and leaning towards Dalpe. Yes?

[TJ4]

Thanks for your help.
