DobberProspects Fantasy Mailbag - June Edition

[Crazy Joe Davola]

MAILBAG TIME!!!


You know the drill.. fire me all your prospect related questions and I'll answer as many as I can.

Let's hear em!


(Yes, there are two threads to maximize exposure. I pull from both threads, twitter and other sources.)

[Jouko-Pouko]

Jason Dickinson and Justin Bailey - will they be full-time NHL players next season?

[forsbergfan]

The Flyers already have Giroux and Couturier at center, and are now going to add either Patrick or Hischier. How will this impact their other top center prospect, German Rubtsov, who before the Flyers moved up in the draft order, I would have said was pegged to be their second line center of the future. Where does he wind up now, and how would you project his point total to be most years and at his peak (and what are the other categories where he will put up big numbers)?

[First Round Pick]

Quick thought on the following forward prospects for potential, points only (thank you for answering my question on D last time, I made a move to acquire B. Schenn based partly on your thoughts of Butcher)

Jansen Harkins
Jordan Kyrou
Brett Howden (now that Drouin is out)
Tage Thompson
Ondrej Kase
Danton Heinen
German Rubtsov
Nic Kerdiles

Thanks again for doing this!

[Clinkers]

Christian Fischer ARI

What established NHL player would you compare him to in terms of production and style of play ?

[lucafen4]

Who appears to be the biggest offensive sleepers in this upcoming draft? ie: Gaudette, Fox, Kaprizov?

[bergman]

Will Derrick Pouliot ever crack the Pens' roster and develop into a solid offensive d-man, or will it take an opportunity in Vegas for this to be possible?

[Crazy Joe Davola]

Good stuff, folks. Keep em coming!

[Potatoeman]

How's the goalie crop looking in this year's draft (knowing full well that goalies are hard to evaluate...)?

Also, concerning Hischier and Patrick : How much does it alter their value, if they get selected by New Jersey or Philadelphia (or even Dallas if there's a surprise)?

[Jager's Mullet]

Just wondering what Jon gillies value is after the Mike smith trade. Seems to me like smith is only a place holder until gillies or mayb even a younger parsons is ready to take over. Know goalies are extremely unpredictable just wondering your thoughts.

[chuckcouples]

Would it surprise you if Cale Makar went #1 overall to New Jersey? Or if NJ traded down a few spots and still ended up with Makar?

[Potatoeman]

Would it surprise you if Cale Makar went #1 overall to New Jersey? Or if NJ traded down a few spots and still ended up with Makar?

Personnally, I find this to be less likely after New Jersey traded for a young puck moving D in Mueller, but still a great question!

Also, I believe it was you who first started touting Makar as a 1st round talent. If I'm not mistaking, very good catch!

[Tfan5211]

Who is the late round steal in the 2017 NHL entry draft?

[russtyj]

Most of the fantasy ratings for the 2017 draft class are points only, which top prospects would see a significant change in value (up or down) if you made a ranking that counted periphs (Shots, Blocks, Hits ect...)?

[chuckcouples]

Which UFA signed out of the NCAA last season will have the biggest impact in the NHL in 2017/18? Which one is the best own for dynasty leagues?

A few options

Zach Aston-Reese
Hampus Gustafsson
Spencer Foo (assuming he signs somewhere)
Mitch Hults
Tim Clifton

Neal Pionk
Gavin Bayreuther
Kristofers Bindulis
Mark Friedman
