Re: ROOS LETS LOOSE POLL: Most Overrated in Fantasy
Voted for:
Morgan Rielly - top D in Toronto, usually drafted a bit too high for what he in the end does.
Thomas Chabot - basically the same as above. Not bad, but there's a bit of hoping for more when drafted
Aaron Ekblad - also rarely reaching the potential people are drafting him for
J Huberdeau - now overrated in fantasy after last year
P Laine - also very rarely reaching the potential. Only 24 though so maybe it will change. He'll likely keep being somewhat overrated the next season too.
All but one of these were drafted in rounds 1-3. The remaining one, Chabot, is a keeper.
Goalies are generally more volatile and I'm not expecting much from anyone except from the very top goalies. Markstrom went first round and Andersen in the 2nd round in our league, but I think their value have dropped already and aren't that overrated now or for next season.
Re: ROOS LETS LOOSE POLL: Most Overrated in Fantasy
Since the new poll is up, it's time to evaluate last year's overrated players. I'm sure there are people who can do this more accurately than me but here's a rough results list of the most overrated players for this current season:
Preseason rank; When drafted in one league; Current rank;
J Huberdeau: 77 ; 89 ; 303
J Gaudreau: 85 ; 79 ; 284
T Chabot: 229; 154 ; 426
P Laine: 319 ; 124 ; 761
F Andersen: 348 ; 97 ; 295
J Eichel: 55; 45 ; 87
A Svechnikov 62; 34 ; 83
A Ekblad 186; 162 ; 264
Some of those above likely aren't overrated by their average number, but continue to be injured/out for various stretches.
Two who were overrated by preseason ranks but not by fantasy managers: Tarasenko and Weegar.
Underrated players: F Forsberg, V Trochek, C Kreider, M Scheifele (S Aho, J.T. Miller)
