Hockey Mailbag Sept 30-Oct 3

[angus]

Fire away with your questions.

I keep hearing Frank Corrado's name, and picked him up in a deep dynasty league. Is there anything to this guy?

League categories in sig, so essentially if he tops out as a solid two-way dman he could still have great value to the league.

Second team in SIG.

What would you do to upgrade this team? Thank you.

Goalie are extremely valuable, hard to trade for one without giving back a goaltender and a stud forward.

Why no love for Pavelec - from anyone? A bona fida no. 1, 60+ starts per season, 30+ wins (soon to be 35+ as the team improves), solid peripherals, and yet always ranked at or near the bottom. I see him as hugely under-rated, and a general steal.

[Call of Doughty]

Fire away with your questions.

Where do you see Luongo landing in the coming months?? What percentage would you give to Schneider being the #1 (undisputed) goalie in Vancouver.

Our league's drops may be coming soon, and I need to know whether to keep Schneider (along with Rinne) as my goalie or drop him from my top 11 and keep another player. Wish Van. management would hurry up and make a move already.

thnx Angus,
COD

Hey Angus,

Thanks for doing this again.

With the team in Sig, who would be your starters this year 9F, 6D, 1G.

Secondly, what type of player do you think I could get for Shiefele and Brassard? as I would like to solidify my 9th starter.

Cheers

[Gramps]

Excluding Mackinnon, who are your top three 2013 draft eligible forwards and what are your thoughts on Ryan Pulock?

Thanks!

[franklin]

Hi Jeff,

Points only keeper league:

Palmieri or Jarnkrok?

Barberio or Vatanen?

Erixon or Brodin or Blum?

Thanks!

[angus]

Thanks for the questions guys. I'll get to these later in the week. Keep 'em coming!

[Shoeless]

Few things on my mind for you to chew on Angus:

1. Do you think a shortened schedule favors #1 tenders getting a higher percentage of starts?
2. Hodgson, Ennis and Ott down the middle - where do you think Ott will slot in?
3. Niskanen - is he always going to be vanilla?

[PrairieDog]

Three quick ones:

1 - Is Cody Franson worth stashing on my farm if he stays in Europe for the year? There are at least a few teams that have room for him.

2 - Is Alex Chiasson for real? I am kicking myself for giving up Benn just before he really struck, will Chiasson be worth the wait? If he does stick full time I figure it will be in by 2013-14. What do you see his realistic points looking like? Is 30G, 35ish A too optimistic?

3 - Dalpe...what to do with Dalpe? Does he have a top six role ever?

[ccjon]

Hi Angus,

Thanks for doing this!

Last March you ranked Jaden Schwartz as the 2nd best prospect behind Granlund. Would you still rank him 2nd, ahead of Huberdeau, Tarasenko, Kuznetsov and Strome?

You had compared him to Parise which reminded me of of your "It factor" articles on Parise and Eberle. Do you see that same "It Factor" in Schwartz?

Finally, if you can rank these prospects for points only (for the next three years only)...

Yakupov
Tarasenko
Huberdeau
Jaden Schwartz
Galchenyuk
Granlund
Strome


Thanks again Angus

[CallMeJerry]

In a points only keeper league - with extra points for PPG's, SHG's & OTG's, would you rather have Duchene & Parenteau or Granlund & Perron?

Thanks, as always, Angus!
