Fire away - October 4, 2011

[diannazzo]

In a league that only designates a player as "forward" with no position designation. It is a points and PIMs head-to-head with points for power-play and short-handed tallies. Who is the best option here?

Doan, Setoguchi, Grabovski, Dubinsky, Jordan Staal, Peter Mueller, Nikolai Kulemin, Patrik Berglund, Moulson, Eberle or Downie

[Dobber]

In a deep dynasty league - 20 teams, 40 man rosters - ALWAYS plumbing for depth and any value available. We use hits and pim as categories - outside of the well known players can you think of a short list of players who can produce these kind of stats for THIS year? I'm scrambling with the news Haley was sent down - I thought I had a solid player for these points and now I've got a hole in my roster.

15-20 pts.
100 PIM
100 HITS
100 shots
Positive plus/minus (least important, but nice!)

Try Zac Rinaldo

And perhaps Weise, whom Vancouver just claimed off waivers

[Dobber]

What's your guess on the probability that Nashville would trade Rinne this year?
(Potential Poll Question?)

1%
But only because I never say never, and I rarely say always.

[Dobber]

Hey Dobber,

Who plays more this year?

DiPietro or Jacob Markstrom?

Haha good question!
I say DiPietro 20. Markstrom between 7-40

So I'd take the wildcard here

[Dobber]

Hey Dobber,

What do you see for David jone point range for future? A 60-65 pt peak?

That's his peak, but I don't think he'll ever hit it. High 50s mostly

[Dobber]

Has Elliot some value right away?

And is Roman Horak going to be better center than his father?

Yes, I think so. I think Elliott could have the impact Shatty did

Who is Roman Horak's father?

Dobber , I need to choose 5 out of 8 guys for the first scoring period (week 1 and 2)?

Calvert 7 games
Lupol 3 Games
Little 3 games
sergei kostitsyn 4 games
fillpula 4 games
nugent- hopkins 3 games
petr sykora 5 games
zac rinaldo 5 games

The catagories are goals , assists , power play points , shots , plus minus , PIMs

Please help me decide which 5 guys to choose from that you think will be most productive Thanks

Made a couple of trades this summer.

I took over a team who just won the championship.
12 team H2H Keep 17 .
Cats are : G = 1, A = 1, +/- =.32 PIM=.08 PPP=.4 SHP=.6 SOG=.015 Hits=.08 BS=.2

Traded Carter and Suter(wasn't keeping him) for H.Sedin and 2nd round pick (Timonen)

Traded Spezza for Thornton

Traded Kesler,Omark, 2012 1st prospect pick for Kopitar.

Thoughts?

4 centers are now : Sedin,Kopitar,Thornton,Ribeiro.

I just traded Pahlsson, Eaton, Sarich, Kuba and a 4th for Langkow and Radulov in a 30 team dynasty salary cap league with 30 man active rosters and 30+ prospect rosters.

Good gamble? I did it thinking medium risk/high reward
Is Radulov better than 50/50 to return next year?
What would you put as Radulov's upside if he does versus what I should expect?

[Dobber]

Hey Dobber,

with news that markov is gone atleast another month (IMO) whiich dman you go with this year and keeper pts only:

campoli
stralman (will be signed)
kubina
coliacovo

thx Dobber!

Colaiacovo, his weakness is health, not production. He'll do okay until he gets hurt, be it a month or a week

[Dobber]

What do you see for Matthias? He worries me how he keeps dropping.

I'm worried as well. But there may still be something special there in another two years.

[Dobber]

I'm in a 1yr non keeper league. Categories are G, A, +/-, pims & ppp. Wondering who you would take between Fleischman and Penner?? Thanks for the advice

Fleischmann by a mile - you won't regret it, I don't care how great a shape Penner is in!

[Dobber]

Connolly TB or Johansen CBJ? I need to pick the one who will get me the most points, shots, hits, PIMS this year. Thanks Dobber!

Wow, flip a coin on that one. Could go either way. Right now, Connolly is looking a little more promising for this season

[Dobber]

Hey Dobber, I drafted a 1 year league last night, G A PIM +/- PPP SHP SOG HITS BLOCKS W SAVES SVP SO. 10 team league.

I drafted Setoguchi, but I am thinking some other better options are out there, who do you like out of:

Setoguchi
Purcell
Brett Connolly
Okposo
Oshie
PM Bouchard

Also If you had to pick 2 Defensemen who would you roll with?
Leopold
Meszaros
Robidas
Elliot
Blum
Larsson
Ian White
Bogosian

White and Blum

Stick with Setoguchi, although Okposo is tempting...I'd like to see him stay healthy first. Seto is on the top line.

[Rabid_Jack]

Howdy,

Who to keep as my last 2 keepers in a 15 team roto league (G,A,P,PPP,PIM,SVPCT)...

2 of Mueller, Setoguchi, Umberger?

Leaning heavily toward Mueller as 1 spot for his upside... completely undecided on last spot.
