    Default Which young Dman has the higher upside?

    Which of the following Dmen had the higher upside (points only) both short-term and long-term?

    If it makes it easier then just give me your top 3 in order.

    R. Josi
    J. Faulk
    T. Barrie
    B. Smith
    C. Fowler
    Z. Bogosian
    D. Kulikov

    I need a 4th Dman and so it will be a player that I hope to protect for the future but will also be relying on this year.

    Points only pool - H2H - Dress 11/week - 2 at every forward position(RW, LW, C), 4 D, 1G
    Goalie Points = 2/win, 1/overtime loss, 3 more/shutout (They typically make up most of the top 10 point getters every year in our league)

    24 teams but 2 of every player (2 Crosbys, 2 Rasks, etc.) so treat it like a 12 team.

    PROTECT 11 (max. roster size is 25)

    LW - Benn, Pacioretty, Henrique, Abdelkader, Pulkkinen
    C - Tavares, Backstrom, Johansen
    RW - Giroux, Wheeler, Donskoi, Pomminville, Silvferberg
    D - Josi, Karlsson, Burns, Seabrook, Reilly, Gardiner,
    G - Jones, Rinne, Miller

    I don't feel great about just naming one because I see those as two tiers of options. Guys like Josi, Faulk and Barrie are not big and are largely relied on for their skills with the puck. B Smith and Fowler have more defensive responsibility, relatively speaking, and are not relied on as much offensively. Bogo is in the same situation.

    Upper Tier:
    Josi
    Faulk
    Barrie
    Kulikov

    Lower Tier:
    Bogo
    Smith
    Fowler
    12 team Full Dynasty w cap. 13F, 7D, 2G, 5B.

    Is Faulk pretty much locked to take over for Pitkanen on the pp?

    Start 6 guys every week. 3 O, 2 D and 1G. No substitutions once they are in (before the first game starts on Monday).
    Protect 3 players every year in keeper.
    10 rounds of drafting

    D: Letang, Doughty, Karlsson, Grzelcyk, Faulk,

    He would've been the top dog even with Pitkänen not injured.
