Gudas won't play this year.

I say SAVARD and Russell. SAVARD stands to benefit with wiz' departure. And Russell will likely be fit with Giordano gone for the year.

I don't like how busy the ducks blue line is right now and especially after so much change on it. I can't tell who rises to the top between Lindholm, fowler or new comers Wiz (when healthy) Despres or even more so...Holzer (lol... Ok..maybe not Holzer but yet another name.)

Larsson is more of a long term investment, still with a ton of uncertainty swirling around him.

The rest I'm not sold on other than perhaps a flier in Rielly as I think the Leafs will want to give him more opportunity to thrive during the end of this lost season as the team will soon be his. I think the points will continue, but be accepting of the potential +\- woes

You don't think Larsson will get any powerplay time with Zidlicky out of the picture? Would that boost him in a league that counts hits and blocks too?

Any thoughts on Garrison? Seems like he's playing on PP1 but doesn't carry much peripheral stats.

[havanablast21]

I agree with your assessment on Garison but also don't feel confident that he maintains PP1 time.

Larsson... It's very possible that he may see more PP time, but I still don't believe he's ready to do Kuch with the added time. He's palying a decent physical game but still as boring as the Devils in general. Be my guest, but I'm not touching him this year if I'm looking for a boost at the position compared to some of the others you've mentioned.

I'd say Larsson and Savard. Both seem set for prime PP time after today's deals. Larsson is a bit of a gamble but he's played great the last 15 games or so...

I'd go Savard and Larsson too for basically the same reason as pensfan. Savard, Larsson, and Russell all benefit from departures due to trades/injuries. Larsson's recent point totals are difficult to ignore.
