    I see them producing about 40 point pace. Not too high on any of them. If I had to pick one, I'd choose Laich.

    Gionta bounces back with 25G 25A season.

    Desharnais does as well, with a 15-20G 40A season.

    Laich, entirely depends on whether they sign a 2nd line Cman. If so, then 40-45 pts. If he plays 2nd line, then 50-55.

    Zero love.
    I won't be touching any of these guys in my leagues this year.

    Assuming WAS goes back to Backstrom/Ovechkin... Laich is just playing with another group of scrubs.

    If I had to take one of these guys, it would be Desharnais. But I have low expectations for all of them. Out of these three guys, I think DD is most likely to have the better linemates...

    They gets NO love. Hell, they don't even get LIKE. If my jewels were in a vice grip and I had to choose one, I'd go Laich. But again, that's with my boys in the grip, and they ain't in one so I'd pass on all 3.

    It depends on how deep your league is. My league has 26 teams with 20 players on each team. With this all 3 hold some value as potential 50 point serviceable players. I like DD the best of them all though
    Points only, 26 team keeper league. keep 8 + 4 prospects. 2 LW,2 RW, 2C, 4 D and G. 1 point goal,1 point assist
    Goalies. 2 points win, 1 for O/T or Shoot out loss, 3 for SO, 2 for assist, 10 for goal. Minus 1 for a loss
    Draft 8 more through draft. Need to have 11 on main team, 9 on reserve. Once roster set, can add 1 injured reserve spot.

    Roster:
    LW JVR, Steen, Hagelin
    C Malkin, E. Staal, Nelson
    RW Okposo, Wheeler, Donskoi
    D Demers, Pulock, Savard, Vlasic
    G Holtby

    prospects: Frost, Sprong, Andersson, Bear, Niku, Katchouk

    If Faceoffs are important, Desharnais and Laich are decent choices. Gionta is past his fantasy relevance.

    I've always liked Laich, I think 50 points isn't unreasonable if he is the second line center with Erat.

    Desharnais had 60 points a season removed, he could very well get to 50-55 IMO.
