Ellis
I languish at trying to make a call on this guy's future. Seems silly but if I knew which way things are going to go with him - my life would be very simple in the world of all my fantasy hockey teams.
the goalie or the winger?
Since this is in the school of block section, I'm guessing the goalie.Originally Posted by mister_mcgoo

oh yeah my bad, i sort by new posts then forget to look at the cats...Since this is in the school of block section, I'm guessing the goalie.
i would drop him unless you're in a REAL deep league
I kind of agree with Mcgoo. I don't see him being a starter next year. Getting a platoon shot at best, imo. But of course, I'd wait for the Master to respond as Goldman has been just gold lately.
Worst. Pun. Ever.

boy, if i was one of these teams that need goaltending he would be my first target. both because he'd be cheaper than some others and he's experienced.
I think Dan Ellis is a great buy-low opportunity right now.
He's a very good goalie that, despite seeing less and less action as the last two seasons have gone along, rarely has a bad game.
Very quick, good size, smarts, great stick handler. He has a lot of assets that most teams would love to have. He's capable of being a starter. I think a lot of teams that scout him have only good things to say. If there were any less of a goalie in Rinne, Ellis would be the clear-cut starter and probably be just as competitive as Rinne (although the playoffs would be his biggest question).
I can safely say, although of course I could never pinpoint teams, but he is considered a perfect candidate for a fair deal with tremendous upside.
Ellis is also very good at mental preparation, a result of playing a lot behind Rinne the past two years. A lot of goalie prospects in Dallas' system have turned into starting goalies, although one of the most recent ones (Mike Smith) has turned into a band-aid boy.
Yes, it's tough to know where he might end up this summer...but I'd have to think wherever he goes, he's a lock to be the starter. Otherwise said team wouldn't have signed him in the first place.
Yeah it's a very deep cap league guys. Getting some decent offers on him but this thread convinces me to hang on and hope he moves. thanks!
