    Default Gudbranson fantasy value?!

    Faced with a near-immediate decision this week on Gudbranson: bring him up from my farm to active roster for good, or drop/trade him. Does this guy have any current or future fantasy value?

    It’s a 14-team H2H league counting pretty much every scoring category (see scoring system below), with the added twist of added value for points scored by d-men.

    Were I to bring him up, I would have to drop someone. Here’s my current d-man roster and fantasy points each scored last season (start 4 d-men nightly):

    Byfuglien – 748 pts in 78GP
    Shattenkirk – 709 pts in 81GP
    Jack Johnson – 494 pts in 82GP
    Kulikov – 238 pts in 81GP
    Paul Martin – 229 pts in 39GP
    Wiercioch – 315 pts in 53GP

    Farm
    Gudbranson – 174 pts in 65GP
    Despres – 99 pts in 34GP
    Ristolainen – 39 pts in 34GP
    Clendening
    Pulock
    Severson
    Sproul

    My active roster forwards are:
    Kopitar, Landeskog, EKane, Kesler, Fisher, Marchand, Bozak, Henrique, Strome, Atkinson, Huberdeau, Kreider, Lupul.

    Advice on what to do with Gudbranson? Drop someone to make room for him? Try to trade him? Drop him?

    I picked up Kulikov from the wire this summer, hoping he takes that next step forward. Not sure I can keep around two young d-men who I’m waiting for that to happen, can I? But the fact that Gudbranson was the 3rd overall pick in his draft year…. gives me pause!

    Thanks for any and all words of wisdom!

    Scoring system is as follows:

    Skaters:

    (G) Goals - 5


    (A) Assists - 5

    (+/-) Plus Minus - 2

    (PIM) Penalty Minutes - .25

    (PPPTS) Power Play Points - 2.5

    (SHPTS) Short Handed Points - 5

    (GWG) Game Winning Goals - 5

    (OTG) Over Time Goals - 5

    (PSG) Penalty Shot Goals - 5

    (DEFPTS) Defenseman Points - 2.5
 (added to the normal point values when a Defensive player score a goal or an assist.)
    (SHOG) Shootout Goals- 2.5
    (BS) Blocked Shots - .25

    I would trade or cut him. he has some value with his hits and pims and has shows in the pre season that he can put up points.....but never during a full season. with Campbell asking out he might see an increased role but there is no telling....he averaged right around 18 minutes per game last season, and only played in around 65 games

    Only people in a dire D-situation would trade for him, and I just see way too many D in front of him to make a GM want to give something up for him. I’d drop him and save the headache

    His value for Fantasy purposes is low. And Ekblad + Mitchell didn´t help that at all. Tallon stating he wants another offensive gifted D does not help either. Drop or trade.

    PIM, hits, and blocks just aren't really valuable enough in your league to warrant keeping him over anybody else. Gudbranson is gonna be a very long-term guy in fantasy hockey....can he develop into a 30+ point guy with those peripherals eventually? We hope so, but if it happens it will be awhile. So ya, probably a safe drop at the moment.

    If you didn't have to worry about him scoring points, he'd be gold in the remaining categories. Trade him if you can, or drop him straightaway.
