Ok so here's my question:
- With the recent Yamamoto signing, what do you you think the next 2 years hold for this talent kid?

Does Timo Meier crack the top six this year?
How do you see the short and long-term future of Matt Grzelcyk? He got a couple of NHL games last season but can the Bruins have both him and Krug in the lineup at the same time? Or could he even replace Krug at some point in the future?
With the multitude of young dmen that the Flyers have, which will be top pairing, 2nd pairing, etc. Assuming Provorov is their number 1 dman, and Ghost is more of a PP specialist, which others are the ones to own? Myers? Sanheim? Morin? Hagg? There are only so many minutes and points to go around! Who will be better real-life dmen and who will be the fantasy ones to own?
GET WELL SOON, DOBBER.
From what I have read, Joey Anderson had a really good developmental camp for the Devils this summer and looked possessed at the World Junior Summer Showcase for the Americans.
What type of upside do you see for Anderson and realistic expected production for him in the future?

CJD,
Thanks in advance. How would you rank these 3 spects (points-wise)for next year and then again 3 years down the road?
Alex nylander
Evgeni svechnikov
Pavel buchnevich
Vegas drafted Glass & Suzuki, both C's. Who do you see as their future top C and why. Also - will the one dropping down to 2nd line C result in a negative impact on his fantasy outlook?
Thx for doing this, appreciate it.
Thanks for the great questions everyone!
Keep em coming if you've got more.
Mailbag drops next Wednesday!
Curious to know your thoughts on Jesper Boqvist? Where would you rank him among this years draft class?
What do you know about Patrick Harper (NSH)?
He looked pretty good in the Summer Showcase and I looked him up in the Prospects Report they compare him to Johnny Hockey. His 3yp is what I noticed first that piqued my interest since prospects usually have a #in the 40-50's range. It seems wrong or if it's right it's really good at 60pt...especially for a 5th round pick.

Do you think there is still hope that Hunter Shinkaruk becomes fantasy relevant in the future or is he an automatic drop in your mind for a fantasy team.
Aleskey Saarella seems to have had an up and down career so far. Can you speak to why that might have been? And also very interested in what his short and long term outlook looks like?
Bonus Question: Despite a pretty low fantasy grade on dobberprospects Brendan Guhle has sky rocketed up the orginazational chart.- can you illuminate us on how this happened? What are his projections like for fantasy?
The Mailbag is out! http://dlvr.it/PjdPhw
As always, thanks for the terrific questions!
