Exact same four I voted for yesterday

[StuntMan12]

Darn good list so far. I am going to use this for sure at my drafts. I overvalued some players and undervalued some as well.

[RizzeeDizzee]

I went with guys who had a lock on 35+ and a chance at 45+ if everything lines up well - Seabrook, Orlov, Ellis, Brodie, Martinez

I'm okay with four of those, but I don't think Brodie is even a lock for 30.

I'm okay with four of those, but I don't think Brodie is even a lock for 30.

Ironically, I feel that four of the five guys you had as 40+ this season will be under 35 - Parayko, Trouba, Ekblad, and McDonagh. But that's what makes this poll fun when you get to this level - one person's 35 point guy is justifiably another's 40+.

[Mr. Guru]

To say Brodie started last year slow is an understatement.

He had 17 points in 52 games = .33 points per game

In the last 30 games (or since Feb 1st) he had 19 points or .63ppg

yeah I always thought he was a bit underrated but with Hamilton taking over Calgary's #1 ppqb position it should limit him to SOME degree but I think he still has a decent season.

Do we know Dougie is taking over the PPQB position this coming season or is this just a guess? Seems to me TJ had the reins being the backstop on the #1 PP last season.... Hamilton and Gio on the second unit.

[cheese_cake]

I think Hamilton is bound to have it in the short term, so this season or the next. Giordano got his own share of PP too, but I think Hamilton, only 24, has the opportunity and the skill to take it over next season.

If you bought the fantasy guide you'd see the data I dug up suggesting that Hamilton is indeed poised to take on that role from Brodie
