Need to drop 1

[Noddes55]

I need to drop a minor player, team and league in sig. I'm kinda stuck on who it should be. Looking for some help.

Thanks

Dano would be my drop

[Axeman33]

Hmm, tough call here. A lot of good prospects. I would probably drop Jarnkrok only because I am not as sure of his offensive upside.

[RememberRobitaille]

Gillies... Is that Colton Gillies?? That one seems like the clear drop.

[Noddes55]

John Gillies, sorry just updated sig

[RememberRobitaille]

Heck, I would still drop Gillies (Jon). Decent goalie prospect, but still years away. And who knows if he'll start. Goalies are so fluid these days that having a prospect who's anything but top end isn't nearly as valuable as a forward prospect with solid top 6 potential.

[TheZamboniGuy]

I would go between Gilies or Dano for the same reason Robitaille said

[Magicstew]

Gillies or Danno for me, some solid prospects

Agree completely here. By the time Gillies is relevant, the Flames may have Top prospect Mason MacDonald and some other guy between the pipes. Maybe it will be Marty Brodeur...Kidding! Still, Gillies would be my choice.

Dano was my initial thought, as you have a ton a forward prospects. but Gillies is another option, unless goalies are super overvalued in your league.

[Ed.]

I agree on Dano/Gillies. As for which of the two, I'd go based on how goalies are valued in your league relative to other positions. Are Gs easier or harder to acquire via trade? Are they drafted early or late? Can you get good prospect Gs on the waiver wire or do they all get snapped up as soon as they show anything resembling competence?

[Noddes55]

Goalies are valued pretty high. Anyone showing a hint of something gets snapped up very quick. However there are some good goalie prospects available in free agency, comrie, hellebuyck, Murray, kinkaid, houser, sarros, bibeau.

[Ed.]

If those goalies are available as free agents in a 20-team league, the goalie demand isn't too ridiculous, so I don't think you can use that as a deciding factor here. I think I would keep Gillies though, simply because the starter upside is there, and his chances of putting on a display that drives up his value while he still has farm eligibility seem a good deal better than Dano's chances of doing so. I don't think Dano is a guy you are going to want to have to promote, or try to trade 41 games into his NHL career.

[maya has the knife]

Do NOT drop Dano, Jarnkrok or Jon Gillies. I would easily drop Joacim Eriksson or Adam Clendening before either of them. Gillies has posted two dominant seasons at Providence College in the NCAA and has decent upside. Dano has been impressive at Columbus' camp so far and could be closer to the NHL than some think. 6 points in 10 AHL games last season as a rookie; there's more to come. Jarnkrok: 9 points in 12 NHL games and 9 in 6 AHL games last season as a rookie... he's gonna get a decent chance to produce in Nashville.

EDIT: And yes, I do own Dano and Gillies in the league in my sig but I'm not biased... really!
