De Haan doesn't belong with these other two. Josi and Orlov are both great but I'd take Orlov over Josi for sure.
Roman Josi
Dmitry Orlov
Calvin De Haan
Which of these guys do you like best with the categories in my sig? I love Josi, this kid looks great in Nashville and he could play along side Weber/Suter next year (if one of them leaves the Preds). Don't know much about Orlov and De Haan, because I don't really follow the Caps and Isles.

Dead on! I do think Josi will be more valuable than Orlov in your format so I'd go with him. They have similar upsides, but Orlov probably has more value in a league that doesn't include hits. This is really Josi's first year and he's doing pretty well for himself I'd say.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken."
"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle."
For both guys, a LOT depends on what happens in the off season.
WAS could blow it up, opening the door for Orlov and Suter could (pray) leave, opening the door for Josi to slide in beside Weber.
Given that Suter leaving is more likely than the Caps shipping Green, I'd roll with Josi to seize the better opportunity and run with it.
Hope so anyway

I think Josi is a fine prospect but I don't see him putting up numbers in Nashville. He is imo there 5th best option offensively on the backend. With Ellis and Blum both being ahead of him (PP wise) even if Suter leaves.
Orlov is for sure the better option. I think he is the better player even...

I like orlov the most out of the three but i think josi is ahead of both blum and ellis. Check out his stats in the AHL at age 20 and this year in the NHL. The closest comparsion I can find is Alex Edler, and i believe this is exactly
what he'll turn out to be in a coiple of years.

I am taking Orlov.
Why even bother with Josi? All I am hearing is: If Weber, Suter, Blum, Ellis, etc. were all not in Nashville then Josi would be awesome. Well they are all there, they aren't all leaving. Either Weber or Suter will probably leave, leaving 3 of those guys there.
Take Orlov, more points, more hits, and a better opportunity for top PP minutes!!
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
The fact is Josi has been playing heavy and meaningful minutes even with both weber and suter in the lineup and doing well. My prediction is that he'll be awesome with or without both weber amd suter in the lineup next year. 30-35 points if both stay and 40 plus points within 2 years if one of them leaves. The Nashville coaches wouldn't give a 21 years old player like Josi such heavy minutes without knowing that he's good, now and beyond.
BUT, I believed Orlov still has the highest upside fantasy wise, as I mentioned before.
I think the poll results are correct. Orlov #1, Josi is a clear #2 and de Haan is a full class below.
