UH OH! It's another Cage Match Tournament!
By now I hope you know the drill. Each week four matchups will be released (follow the links below to the other matchups) for you to vote on. The winner moves on to the next round.
This Cage Match Tournament was initially intended to be the inaugural Prospects Tournament but since the NHL decided to come back (Bastards!) most of these top prospects are now NHL rookies. I could have gotten mad, cursed Gary Bettman and said, "**** the lemons!" and then bailed but I've always been a lemonade guy so let's enjoy some lemonade. That lemonade is the first (and probably last) rookie tournament.
The criteria are simple:
- No goalies
- No defensemen
- No positions
- Points only keeper league with one caveat - Don't be a perpetually rebuilding knucklehead. No one has ever won a fantasy league with just potential so value this season ABSOLUTELY matters.
Now please, vote your face off!
#2 Mikael Granlund vs. #7 Mika Zibanejad
#3 Alex Galchenyuk vs. #6 Jaden Schwartz
#4 Mikhail Grigorenko vs. #5 Jordan Schroeder

Nail is a pretty easy choice here. Gotta love the first round.
Oh and love the Forgetting Sarah Marshall reference man
Any movie that has Mila Kunis and Kristen Bell in it is pure gold by my standards.
Without me, it's only "aweso".
this one should be a blowout.

Yakupov hands down. Both should be on powerhouse squads, but Yak could be 1/3 of what may be the NHL's scariest and most explosive line in the not so distant future. Saad will be good, but not on Yak's level.

Yakupov for sure, not even close
and bonus if you have a cage match for 'douchebag celebration of the year' he'll probably take that one with ease too
I'm going to go against the grain and pick Yakupov.
