Atkinson

[CHunter]

What do you expect from this guy? Seems to have a pretty solid AHL season so far and he did a good job last year after being recalled by CLB. He also had some pp ice time in CLB. Is he on front of Johanssen in the depth chart? Upside?

Thanks

My take on the Atkinson situation in Columbus... Cage Match style. http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index...law&Itemid=117

Nice read! Thanks

He's a stud. I'd expect him to flirt with 60-65 points in 13-14. More if he can establish chemistry with some of the new BJs.

The ahl is a quality league this year. I'd buy him on the cheap if you can. Solid numbers and skills, will need to prove they translate but I own him in both my leagues

Thanks

I already own him in my league...just want to have some inputs about him since he seems really underrated in the player rankings....

I think 40-50 points in his first full season would be good expectations, anything more than 50 points to me would be gravy. Second year upside depending on how he does in year one would probably be 50-60 points. Top end potential probably 70-80 points, but I do like him and he probably has it in him to go higher, but 70-80 points is a "safe" prediction for his high end.

There is no way that he has 80+ points upside. No way in hell.

I meant to say 60-70 top end potential, don't know why I typed it out as 70-80. But for me he's a good player with very good potential, and he may never hit that 80 point mark, but that's not to say that the potential to hit those numbers aren't even the slightest bit possible.
