Little note, you have Shea Theodore on your write-ins as being on ANA. He's the main guy in Vegas now

Votes for today: McD, Reilly, Orlov, Vatanen (If he's back in time to play 70+ games), Provorov

Opps your're right.

Voter fatigue is setting in i see lol

[cheese_cake]

I was pondering of the past few days, and I was wondering if, based on the poll's results, should we assume that people believe Klefbom should score more than Yandle or if, for some of these 'daily groups', all players are believed by voters to make around the same production?

I get that this assumption doesn't hold for the peak defensemen and is probably truer for the bottom of the list, but where do you draw the line I wonder?

Voted for three guys I voted for last time (Orlov, Brodie, Martinez) plus Green (he does still score somewhat) and Provorov.

I had Klefbom ahead of Yandle in my lists. Still peg him as a 40 pt d man, there is potential for more but just don't see Florida as being that great of a team this season.

Orlov, Brodie, Dumba, Niskanen, Muzzin for me.. .All have 40+upside.

I have Klef above Yandle too. I look at it as the general consensus of who everyone around here thinks will have more points. And the more I look at the rankings, the more I appreciate that it's actually a decent list.

will be adding Brandon Montour into tomorrows poll.

It's kind of funny to me how many people are voting for Rielly but not Vlasic or Ekholm, when Rielly's deployment will likely mirror theirs.....

Thanks for the feedback guys. I had Yandle pegged for over 45pts based on ramblings (can't remember which) pointing at his stats being due for regression.

little surprised by that too, thought Zaitsev would get more than Rielly but don't think I would be picking Rielly over Brodie but overall I will be going by this list in all my pools.
