Gotta go with Galy here, he's proving that he is NHL ready now.
Alex Galchenyuk
Jaden Schwartz
UH OH! It's another Cage Match Tournament!
By now I hope you know the drill. Each week four matchups will be released (follow the links below to the other matchups) for you to vote on. The winner moves on to the next round.
This Cage Match Tournament was initially intended to be the inaugural Prospects Tournament but since the NHL decided to come back (Bastards!) most of these top prospects are now NHL rookies. I could have gotten mad, cursed Gary Bettman and said, "**** the lemons!" and then bailed but I've always been a lemonade guy so let's enjoy some lemonade. That lemonade is the first (and probably last) rookie tournament.
The criteria are simple:
- No goalies
- No defensemen
- No positions
- Points only keeper league with one caveat - Don't be a perpetually rebuilding knucklehead. No one has ever won a fantasy league with just potential so value this season ABSOLUTELY matters.
Now please, vote your face off!
#1 Nail Yakupov vs. #8 Brandon Saad
#2 Mikael Granlund vs. #7 Mika Zibanejad
#4 Mikhail Grigorenko vs. #5 Jordan Schroeder

Galchenyuk over Schwartz. This is yet another franchise type, in Galchenyuk, vs. Schwartz whom I feel is more of a complimentary player.
