Dubois
Tkachuk
Barzal
Fiala

I was scared you'd say that..

Barzal and Fiala are already taken.

I own Tkachuk, but was willing to let him go, but now i'll keep him if you think he'll pay next year

As for Dubois, he also was my top pick out of the bunch.

The ones I was most curious were:
Mantha - he's killing the AHL right now
A.Nylander - also on a good run in the AHL
Meier - had already made the team, so next year probably is a lock
Eriksson-Ek - has been called up and scored his 1st goal..

[Eskimo Brother]

Mantha always seems to be tearing up the AHL. He didn't look good last year from what I saw.
Nylander is a Vanek type where it seems as though he doesn't have the effort to be able to take another two steps forward that are needed.
Meier depends on how many of the SJ Fs stay and leave. It's about opportunity for him.
Eriksson-Ek doesn't have the same ceiling as the others, but opportunity is there, especially if he continues to show well.

If you'd have to pick one of those, would you take Meier?

I'll hope the guy that has Barzal drops him if he doesn't make the team.. I'll pick him up then

[Eskimo Brother]

Nylander probably has the highest trade value, but personally I like Meier a little better over the next few years.

I'll grab both then and see if I can get a draft pick for him during the off season

I mean if you have the space then grab all of them. What's the cost of them?

They don't cost much.. I'll drop Haula, Versteeg and Pageau

I can also drop Backstrom to free up cap space if necessary

Drop Backstrom(WAS)?? What kind of league is this??

Drop Backstrom(WAS)?? What kind of league is this??

Salary cap league where they are plenty of expensive players available

Kane, Crosby, Ovechkin, Mackinnon to name a few

That's just bizarre - hard to offer advice on who to pick up in a league where Crosby and OV are sitting there on the waiver wire and you're considering dropping Nicklas Not-The-Goalie Backstrom (and it's NOT for Sid or OV...)

[duntroon68]

There's no way you can shoe horn Ovi, Crosby and Kane onto your team with Backstrom and win this year?

[SuperMario]

Your league needs a higher cap.
