    How are you guys feeling about Nugent Hopkins this year in a points only league? Dobber has him projected for 60 points but I admit that his preseason success with McDavid has got me tempted to reach for him in my upcoming drafts. Is 70+ points not unreasonable for him?

    60 is safe and should be where you draft him but I think there is a good chance (30%) that he gets 70+ this year if he stays healthy.

    He needs to stay healthy and avoid the Edmonton line blender that was running all of last season. The chemistry with McD is there but the center depth is not, so if Strome doesn't work out or there's injuries they pretty much have to slide him back to the middle. I'm doubtful he can stick there all season but if he does 70+ should be a cakewalk.

    I worry about that as well an center injury and he's off that line before the ink drys on the next day rosters. Not a lot of center depth with the team if an injury occurs.
