Re: Gaborik vs Neal
Good question.
I'm sitting on Gaborik, Neal, Druin, Thornton, Palat, Johnson... Only room to keep 3 of them. Fantasy-points only, league in Sig... Emphasis on SOG and Goals..
I'm so torn lol. I would pick Neal, but that might just be who I'm leaning towards as a keeper.

Re: Gaborik vs Neal
Whatever you're predicting for Gaborik, expect him to miss time. I would not project more than 60 games for him in any season. With that in mind, Neal is my choice here.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

Exactly...........good advice right here.Originally Posted by VincentVega
Re: Gaborik vs Neal
In the interests of full disclosure, and weighing benefits/burdens on either side of this coin, James Neal is going to miss games via suspension/injury, as well. I'd pencil him in for about 65+ games and Gaborik for 60+ Given that the difference between the two is likely negligible, and Gaborik showed amazing chemistry with Kopitar during the playoffs, Gaborik is the safer choice. Not a safe choice, but the safer choice.

Re: Gaborik vs Neal
Not a fun call, but as of right now I would go Gaborik. Neal needs a center to help him score, he isn't a creator - Gabbie has so much more of that and Kopitar.
Re: Gaborik vs Neal
Spot on analysis Shoeless. The signing of O.Jokinen today still won't help Neal.
Re: Gaborik vs Neal
I'd take Neal, too many injury issues with Gaborik for me to trust him (i realize Neal isn't ironman but still)

Re: Gaborik vs Neal
Neal, and hope he catches lightning in a bottle in Smashville.
Hockey Pools? Too many to mention. Points only, salary cap and dynasty.
Re: Gaborik vs Neal
any shot at trading
this might be a great time to sell high on Gaborik depending on the GMs in your league of course
Re: Gaborik vs Neal
Gabby for me... he's way more talented than Neal and surrounded by a better cast. He'll miss 20 games, but I can just bench him when that happens.
Neal is swimming in shit in Nashville, and he's already shit to start with.
Re: Gaborik vs Neal
Neal for me, I think this is the yar he finally puts all the pieces together again
Re: Gaborik vs Neal
Gaborik for next year. I'm betting Gabby explodes for a nice amount of points next year. It's after that, that he really scares me.

Re: Gaborik vs Neal
Every 2 or 3 years Gaborik plays near a full season and puts up big points. LA/Kopitar will give him every opportunity to succeed this year where he didn't have it with NYR and CLBs for a long time. Neal ONLY had major success in PIT so its a bit of a reset with him in NSH. That whole team is a big wait and see for us post Trotz.
