Silfverberg's upside???

[BogosianLandeskog]

what's everyones input on what his points upside will be? or is it too early to tell?

in a 82 game season i see 30g-40a-70pts

In my opinion he will at least be a 30g-30a guy which is pretty awesome in todays NHL. He improves every year in every league he's been in. It's just a matter of time. If he improves his explosiveness and top speed he'll be even better.

Honestly I have no idea. I have him on my keeper team and I am not letting him go. I love him, his game, just fantastic. But I agree with your 30-40-70, man does he shoot a ton.

Related question I've been thinking about ... figure I'd post it in this thread:

Who do you like better long term: Silfverberg or Skinner?

14-team, 14-player keeper league in sig, I'm actually considering whether to keep Silfverberg over Skinner due to pretty nice high-end depth I have at winger (would then look to trade Skinner or Skinner+ for an upgrade at center -- most guys in my league have scoffed at Silfverberg so far, but would have a bigger appetite for Skinner).

i think skinner will enter his prime sooner but silfverberg has less concern re: concussion history - it's a trade off.

Thx, gerbernomics.

Yeah, the concussion history is starting to concern me. Also starting to think that with Ovie, Neal, Nash and Loui (hopefully he bounces back next year), I can afford a slightly longer curve with Silfverberg compared to Skinner in return for an upgrade at center.

We'll see. Long time yet before the keeper deadline, but never too early to start planning some potential next steps!

Cheers.

A lot depends on how he gels with Spezza and if Spezza can remain healthy as I think playing with an elite playmaker could do wonders for his game. Though even with MZ they seem to be on their way to solid 2nd line players at the least.
