This is a tough one because Anaheim and Detroit are two teams I worry about.

Anaheim has both Perry & Getzlaf with expiring contracts this summer. They've already won a cup and done their partying in Cali... why stay? Why not try something new? I can foresee them both leaving for another team - just to try something different. In points-only, a lot of D value hinges around the forwards and the PP-quality. Fowler without Perry & Getzlaf isn't so good anymore. On pure skill, I like him best.

I like that Hedman has Stamkos & MSL & Vinny. I think Carle will get the majority of PP-time this year, but Hedman will factor in soon enough.

I worry about Detroit. I've posted before, but I could really see them not spending to the cap like they have. The Wings do not have a young team any more. I think they have a decline on the horizon and that will impact Smith's production.

Leddy is not a guy I see in the same group as these guys. He had a nice year with 11 PPA, not sure he can repeat that. I have doubts.

What he said ^^^ 100%

Particularly with regards to Smith and Fowler.

I'd actually argue that Hedman would be #1 on that list. He'll have Stamkos with him for what should be a long time. That alone would be worth +5 to +10 points a year. Anaheim scares me. Unless Boudreau can get the team firing on all (4 or 5) cylinders sooner rather than later, Getz, Perry, Ryan, and Fowler will not have each other around.

Agree with Rocky here. I'm looking at this in 3-4 years from now.

[Mr. Guru]

I think Leddy is the worst here.

Hedman is tearing shit up in the KHL right now, and it's just a matter of time until he explodes on the NHL scene.

Smith has great poise and is definitely NHL ready. I think he will be a great puck rusher in the not to distant future.

Fowler, confuses me. Didn't look that 'special' in Windsor, falls in his draft and rips it up as a rookie. He obviously has skill, and massive upside.

Saying that......

Good write up....

I think too many people have soured on Hedman already. Good time to try to get him in your keeper I think. I tried, no dice.

Brendan Smith intrigues the #$%!! outta me. Can't wait to see what that kid does.

Sorry...off point, I know, but had to put that out there.
