[Gramps]

Thanks Dobber!

How good will Yakupov and Grigorenko be?

Kulikov or Larsson for my points only keeper?

Is Radulov back in the NHL next year?

[yougo]

First team in SIG.
Would you trade Chara with the defense I have to upgrade my forwards.. Goals by defenseman are worth more than goals by forwards.

Washington D-men related question:

Fantasy projections (points) for next season:
Mike Green
John Carlson
Dmitry Orlov

Where would Ian White slot in?

[Nunezilla]

For next year and next 3 years:

Carter vs. J.Staal vs. Stepan

and

Green vs. Keith vs. Suter

edit: points only keeper league.

[Excelsior]

Thanks for your time.

A couple of under-achievers in points only 30 team dynasty league:

Blake Comeau- 46 pts last year, on pace for 16 pts this year. Which is the real Comeau?

Shawn Matthias- .3 Pts per game for three seasons now. He's 24 now. Do you see a bump in production next season & in the future?

Thanks

i just traded Zetterberg for Skinner in a points only keeper pool. Should i feel good about this?

Ummmmm....I wouldn't feel terrible about it. If Skinner didn't get concussed I would back you on this one. But with the concussion, it makes it much closer. In fact, I would prefer Zetterberg by a hair.

[Dobber]

Little - yes, I think he gets 65 within two seasons

I would prefer Downie.

[Dobber]

Oh man, thanks for doing this...good timing for lots of poolies I'm thinkin'! My Q...team/league in sig. I've bolded the guys I figure I'll be keeping but unsure of the other 6. Leaning towads Pacs, Oshie, Fowler, Carlson, Enstrom & Kulikov. Thoughts?

C - Hanzal, E. Staal, Ott, Stepan, Bozak,
LW - Kovalchuk(RW), Pacioretty, Tlusty(C), Cooke
RW - Perry, Jagr, Eberle, Oshie(C), Parenteau
D -Fowler, Carlson, Enstrom, Robidas, S. Elliott, Green, Voynov
G - Price, Miller
IR - Kulikov

You're thinking: Pacs, Oshie, Fowler, Carlson, Enstrom & Kulikov.
I'm thinking: Pacs, Stepan, Fowler, Carlson, Enstrom & Elliott

I remove Oshie and Kulikov for their band-aid boyness, plus I think Stepan and Elliott have more upside.

[Dobber]

Nino Niederreiter... Fantasy bust?

Absolutely not, although you'd think he would be with one point in 50 games and minus a million or something like that.

He'll be a star in the AHL next year, and then come back huge in 2013-14. He had nothing to learn in junior so they felt they had to keep him up. Next year he's allowed to go to the AHL. You can pick him up for next to nothing right now in keepers so do it.

[Dobbernomics]

Which 2 of my defensemen should I keep going into next season?

Doughty
Yandle
Edler
Goligoski
Kulikov
Voynov

[Dobber]

Rank some guys for me (points-only -- balance upside and potential to get there):

Kabanov
Silfverberg
Stone
Jarnkrok
Spooner
Pulkkinen
Chiasson
Holland

I hate putting Silfverberg on top of this list, because Big Ev will gloat, but that's where I'm leaning...
Silfverberg
Stone
Jarnkrok
Spooner
Kabanov - only because of how good he looked with Strome in camp
Holland
Chiasson
Pulkkinen


But these guys are all fairly close in my mind

[Dobber]

For the 2012-2013 season, Tomas Vokoun will be a member of the ____________.

Sparta Praha
Just kidding.

I wouldn't be shocked if the Toronto Maple Leafs took a look at him. I'd be surprised if the Caps re-signed him (unless, of course, they win the Cup)
