Angus' Hockey Mailbag (Lockout Edition)

[angus]

For the duration of the lockout, I am going to have weekly hockey mailbags (Saturday AM) on the main page.

Feel free to pose your questions in here whenever - you could see it answered on the main page at some point!

Hey Angus...I need your professional Canucks expertise. Where do you see Jason Garrison fitting on the Canucks power play? What kind of G,A, PPP production do you see from him?

[Kwazzie]

do you realistically see kuznetsov coming over to play in 3 years time or so ?

Hey Angus,

Points only league. I only have room for three of the 4 on the farm - the odd man out risks getting dropped at year's end, assuming he won't unseat a main roster player. Which three would you rather be sure to protect, or, which one of the four would you rather expose?

Jaden Schwartz
Mika Zibanejad
Brett Connolly
Nick Bjugstad


Thanks!

In one of my keeper pools my minors looks like this:

B Gaunce
T Hartikainen
J Silfverberg
T Teravainen
M Marincin
J Morrow
D Rundblad
V Fasth
A Khudobin
A Lindback

We are only allowed to keep 10 in our minors system.

Our leage settings on Fantrax track G,A,PIM, +/-, SOG,PPP,SHP,Hits,BLKs.

We are allowed to keep guys in our minors as long as they have played less then 50 NHL games.

My question to you, would you drop any of the above to pick up off the waiver wire, Nicklas Jensen? Hartikainen would be the obvious choice but "if" he gets to the show, I see him being a quality multi-cat player. I already have Gaunce so do I want another Canuck prospect?

Thanks bud!

W, GAA, SV, SV%, SHO

How would you rank these guys?

Devan Dubnyk (Growing in to the starter)
Jose Theodore (Contract year!)
Martin Brodeur (More wins due to games played?)
Tomas Vokoun (Probably a strong GAA and SV%)

Team in sig. Upcoming draft, I have the 8th pick. First will be Yakupov, then it's two expansion teams, so it'll probably be Galchenyuk and Grigerenko (or two young guys like that).

So looking at my team, who do you recommend I target at 8th? Mike Smith, Purcell, Moulson, Lupul, Hartnell, Perron, or Schultz?

Is Granlund going to be 2nd line Center or is he going to play wing?? Also what can we expect from him in his first 3 years?? Thanks

[Still learning]

Hi Angus,
in a keeper league, with no position and 1 point for a goal or an assist, who do you prefer for next year and long term?

Purcell, Voracek or Wheeler?

Thanks

[robmyatt]

Hey Angus,
Which goalies do you see having the most fantasy relevance in the next 3 years?

Khudobin
Lack
Poulin
Tokarski

[The Wrong Marine]

Hey Angus,

Which prospects do you see this lockout helping the most and which prospects do you think are hurt most?

[Reuben]

Turris, Kyle.

Your thoughts on his output this season and down the road.

Thanks

[His Dudeness]

I'm intrigued by JT Brown on TB. Should I pick him up over anyone on my team - maybe Tangradi (only reason I like Tangradi is that most, including him, consider this to be his make or break year). Brown would also be a nice hedge to Conacher who I also own - gotta figure one of them has some kind of impact with the big club this season (assuming there is a season!).

Other guys available who I'm intrigued by: Tyler Johnson (also intriguing as a Conacher hedge), Cizikas, Dillon, Welsh.

Do you think M.Duchene will bounce back? Your 3YP? Upside?

Thanks Jeff!

Keep asking questions, and I'll pull some each week for my weekend mailbag. If I have missed your question for a few weeks, feel free to ask it again. I'll try to get to at least five or six a week.
