Slavin vs. Zaitsev - who ya got?
I tackled these two in my cage match column this week: http://www.dobberhockey.com/hockey-h...ikita-zaitsev/
Normally I like to go into each cage match without any inkling of who might win, but in view of my piece for the Fantasy Guide this summer I had a hunch that Zaitsev would come out on top. Still, I learned even more about Slavin, and plenty about Zaitsev, along the way and I think you will too. Give it a read and come back here to discuss your conclusions and thoughts on each player, particularly if you own one or both. Also, let me know if the player comparisons I made to Slavin in the "Who Wins" section were rightful in your mind, and feel free to add any others of your own here.

Re: Slavin vs. Zaitsev - who ya got?
I'd agree on Leddy, who should still be a top dog. Hanifin doesn't have a season in the books like Slavin, but he's well positioned to outpoint him this season, or if not this season then next.

Re: Slavin vs. Zaitsev - who ya got?
Didn't change my opinion. As stated in your article much of Slavin's perceived 'fantasy' value is that he is a really good real-life player similar to say the undeserved fantasy hype Toews received early in his career.
