    Default 2013 - Top 10 Keeper League LW

    2012 List - http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index...gus&Itemid=102

    2011 List - http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index...gus&Itemid=102

    2010 List - http://hockey.dobbersports.com/index...gus&Itemid=102

    Thoughts/projections? Trying my best to pick players who ACTUALLY play LW compared to those who are listed as LW on Yahoo! or ESPN.

    Ovechkin is done as my number one. Who will replace him?

    I'll have my list published in the next week or two... would like to see yours!

    If the fantasy hockey sites actually get positions set properly, LW is going to be a thin, thin, thin position again.

    Here is my list (with my last year's ranks in brackets):
    My top 10:
    1. Ovechkin (1)
    2. D.Sedin (2)
    3. Parise (3)
    ...
    ...
    4. E.Kane (5)
    5. T.Hall (NR)
    6. B.Ryan (6)
    ...
    7. Vanek (NR)
    8. Hartnell (7)
    9. Lucic (NR)
    10. Landeskog (9)

    Other considerations: Marleau, Eriksson, Sharp, Kunitz, Pacioretty, Moulson, Lupul
    Losing their LW: Benn (C), Datsyuk (C), Zetterberg (C), Neal (RW), Kovalchuk (RW), Heatley (RW)
    I'm not sure what the NYR wingers will be: Nash & Gaborik. Both could be RW. Has Gaborik played enough LW to qualify?

    Looks to me that Kovalchuk lost his RW, not his LW.

    AFAIC, the position that they actually play is immaterial, as long as Yahoo (or whoever) is going to list them at a given position.

    So, I would consider Kovy an LW until the day comes that he's listed otherwise.

    My view that in the long run it isn't safe to rely on a player having positional eligibility for a position he doesn't actually play.

    Oh, I don't know. Relying on Yahoo's rectal-cranial inversion hasn't failed me yet.

    Trying to anticipate the whims of Yahoo (or of their data-provider) is what strikes me as a somewhat dicey proposition...

    Well yeah, but they use real game action, so position matters in the long run.

    I think it will balance out - they used to be horrible with dual eligibility, but now they have gone overboard giving it to everyone (especially W/C... I'd wager only 10-20% of those listed as dual actually play both).

    My list from last year looks like this:

    1. Ovechkin
    2. D.Sedin
    3. Parise
    4. E. Kane
    5. Ryan
    6. Lucic
    7. Hall
    8. Landeskog
    9. Eriksson
    10. Moulson

    Its hard to believe I had Ovechkin down last year at #1 considering how much of a disbeliever I have become in his game. He wont make a fool of me this year.

    My top 10 for this year:

    1. Parise
    2. D. Sedin
    3. Hall
    4. Landeskog
    5. Ryan
    6. EKane
    7. Ovechkin
    8. Lucic
    9. Eriksson
    10. Hartnell

    HM: Vanek, Moulson, MaxPac, Sharp (in that order)
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    I know you have misgivings about Nash, but I'm surprised he didn't even get an HM?

    I can understand OV dropping in the standings. But what has Bobby Ryan done recently to justify being higher than him?

    Isn't Nash a RW with NYR?

    I believe they are rolling:
    Gaborik(LW)-B.Richards-Callahan
    Hagelin-Stepan-Nash

    I think Gaborik is the one who has made the transition to a possible LW?
    No?

    I can easily answer that. Last year I had Bobby Ryan at #5, this year I kept him at #5. He has done nothing to justify climbing or dropping in my rankings. He's a 25 year old who is still putting up similar numbers for the past 3 years. He still gets his 30+ goals. Go look at his stats, they are pretty consistent really. I can hardly wait to see what he can do once Teemu retires and he gets more opportunities then he is already getting.

    As you stated yourself, you can understand why Ovechkin has dropped in my rankings. He's trending the wrong way where as Ryan has stayed consistent.

    Nash has been RW for the past while, even in CBJ. I'd consider him an RW.

    correct my reference to the lines being the lines for as long as they lasted wasnt meant to imply nash would be moved to the LW but rather that i am not sure those lines are any more the best lines for this team than the overload they tried starting with were

    not to mention torts just loves to change his lines

    Looking at the post from last year, I am surprised we havent had more submissions on their top 10 LW.

    Big Ev?
    Carcillo?
    Laendarian?
    Mac?
    FHG?
    Dyz?

    All entered their own lists last year. No crack at it this year??

    Anyone new want to throw their own list up there?
