Yandle and Barrie I can see moving up around 10-15 - both good candidates for a 45+pt season

[lucafen4]

how many do you have cracking 50 next year?

[StuntMan12]

how many do you have cracking 50 next year?

currently have 8. From EK to Dustin Byfuglien and players like shatty and keith at 49 and 48 but i more or less have that down as a ranking just to gauge how good player X is compared to another.

[Sherpa]

No love for Klefbom? Would've thought he'd at least crack top 50...

forgot to adjust his projections. thanks. he will definitely be in the top 50




what do you guys expect from Klefbom for next season? i have him down for 37 pts but is it realistic he cracks 40 + ?

With Sekera out for a long time and Larsson being the only other threat on the PP, I think Klefbom will crack 40 with relative ease. Barring some bizarre trade this week that changes everything, of course.

any changes you would make for the top 50

At first blush I don't see anything glaringly wrong with this list, although I'd drop Letang to just above Shattenkirk. That injury history would keep me away.

i thought about having him lower, his value is probably lower since in my 1 year leagues i go into, u cant bench players and if your guy is injured ur basically screwed.

[Wonko]

Karlsson (beast. 70 plus)
Burns (some regression but still 60 plus points)
Hedman (some regression but still 60 plus points)
Letang (if he plays 70 plus games. My guess is he plays less than 70 and finishes at the bottom of the top ten)
Josi (see Subban)
Subban (PP usage for Subban and Josi leaves them both a bit of a question mark. Whoever gets the prime usage will finish higher)
Klingberg (with the new look Dallas squad I see his numbers coming back up)
OEL (bounce back year)
Shatty
Hamilton (final totals will depend on usage and TOI. Lots of room for improvement on this list if he is given more opportunity, but will it happen this year?)

good list as well. i hope oel can turn it around, i drafted him in the 2nd round in a $50 1 year league and if he or anyone else on my team scored 10-15 more pts that team would have made it into the money as well. came 2nd and top 4 got paid. would have been good bragging rights
