    Some AHL-related questions for you.

    1. How do you see Tyler Johnson (Tampa) turning out in the NHL? He was just behind Conacher last year and this year he's leading Syracuse in scoring. He's fast as hell and getting stronger, might have to convert to wing in the NHL... is he worth a spot on my farm?

    2. What about the Dallas prospect winger situation. I think I asked you this over the summer, but it's always interesting to get an updated view. I own Ritchie and Chiasson. Chiasson had a slow start in the AHL but the last month he's been playing mainly with Reilly Smith and Eakin and he's started producing pretty well. Still some things to work on, but he seems headed in the right direction. Which of those two do you think will be the better NHL scorer?

    3. Jeremy Morin. Will he ever arrive? I'm pretty discouraged after this AHL season so far.
    GO WINGS!

    Looking at Minnesota's potential top 6 for this season:

    Parise - Koivu - Setoguchi
    Heatley - Granlund - Bouchard

    There is definetly some weakness on the right side that could be improved and with the cap decreasing next year and introduction to compliance buyouts, we may see heatley on the move, do you think?

    Also some interesting prospects in the pipeline coming up. Most notably Jason Zucker who is leading his AHL team in scoring at the time of writing this 32 pts in 31 gms. Also Charlie Coyle who isnt playing as well in the AHL has 20 pts. Coyle though imo has the higher upside. Where do you see these two particular prospects fitting into the lineup this year or next?

    - ESPN pts league: Goals, Assists, Hits, Blocked Shots, +/-

    I am thinking of keeping the following forwards. Would you consider replacing any of the below with Tyler Seguin?
    - Ryan Getzlaf
    - Taylor Hall
    - Phil Kessel
    - James Neal

    I have 2 spots available at D. I am leaning towards keeping Niklas Kronwall & Brent Seabrook. Would you recommend replacing either with Tobias Enstrom or PK Subban?

    Goalie: Leaning towards Kari Lehtonen over Hiller or Holtby.

    Thanks...Go Pens.
    I would take Seguin over Kessel or Getzlaf, yeah.

    I'd go with Kronwall and Subban.

    I think he starts there, absolutely.

    I don't think they'll go after Omark right away, but if they did, of course he would at least get a shot there.

    Nyqvist may not start top six, but he will definitely finish there. He's ready.

    I saw a lot of Johnson during time in WHL. He was a crafty player, and I am surprised he has adjusted so well to the pro game. He'll be a solid NHL player - he's really smart. It depends if TB is willing to start him off in a depth role, though.

    Ritchie's stock is sky high right now. Chiasson has been OK for Texas - he still has a ways to go before he is NHL ready. But the parts are there for him to develop into a really good player. I think Ritchie has more offensive upside, but Chiasson is closer to playing.

    Morin - I don't think so. I have given up on him. Great shot, but his skating is simply going to hold him back.

    We could very well see that.

    Zucker will be in the NHL next year. Coyle has been good, but he has some more developing to do first. He's going to be a great NHL player, but not for another year or two.

    Beauty - great to be back thinking about fantasy hockey and tx for taking questions.

    I'm carrying 27 guys and need to drop one before season starts - right now I'm thinking Leblanc is the best drop - agree?

    Or I might try to do a 2 for 1 and could approach guy who owns Larsen (Dallas D) with offer of Leblanc and X for Larsen and T. Ruutu (who I'd drop to get down to 26 players as he's pretty pricey and is out for a long time). The X would likely be Scarbossa (who I recently picked up on waivers) but I suppose I could also offer up Colborne or someone else. Thoughts on making that offer? The guy who owns Larsen also owns Postma but I think I prefer Larsen.

    tx
    24teams;27players(20roster,7bench)dynasty(full keeper);
    Cap league based on NHL salaries (not cap hit);

    F/C: G 4pts; A 4pts; +/- 2pts
    D(min5,max9): G 8pts; A 5pts; +/- 4pts
    G(min2,max3): W 9pts; OTL 5pts; SO 4pts
