Backsliding again. Just picked up Gerbe. Salary league, rebuilding from the mess left by a previous owner (imagine a scorched, smoking, blackened wasteland, with Pavel Datsyuk sobbing in its midst and Ryan Martindale prancing around in a crown with "Top Prospect" written in glitter on his shirt). Things are a bit better now, but I could use some forward depth and old habits die hard.
Ill quote the original post
"It's a well-known phenomenon that GMs will overrate their own prospects, but is there one or two guys that you have a completely irrational fantasy crush on? I'm talking about a player that you rate vastly higher than most other GMs for no specific reason, you are loathe to trade unless it's painfully obvious or necessary, and are willing to draft one round or more earlier than the consensus just so you can own him."
I rate Baertschi higher than others GMs and wouldn't trade him and would draft him one round or more earlier to be sure I own him. In my sim league I traded Malkin several months back. And Baertschi was one of the key pieces I got in return. Some may call that irrational haha.
Oldies I loved and were misses....Brendl, Zherdov and Filatov...yup...loved the Russians...
Newbies I love for no particular reason...Ristolainan, H. Lindholm, Brodin...yup...love European Dman for some reason.
Also have HUGE hopes for new European G entering the scene like Raanta (I'm hoping for a Niemi replica - completely irrational) and Svedberg.

M.Rielly and Joel Armia are two prospects that I have that are untouchable. I just have this feeling that both will be fantasy studs.

Mr. Riley Barber.
Gave up Paajarvi to get two late draft picks to use one of Barber.
Joe Cannata of all people. If you say "who?"... That's the point.

My main league:
I read fairly positive things about him back in the spring. Pronman, but I can't remember where. Apparently he is looking a good deal better than his draft slot. With Paajarvi getting mired in St. Louis, aka Nashville 2 instead of the offensive change of scenery we were all hoping for, you may not regret this deal. Who did you use the other pick on?
Reto Berra.....I love my long shots in the last round!
Yeah, Barber is looking really good. He'll have a more dominant role in the WJC this Christmas too. I don't think we'll see him in the NHL until the college season ends.....next year, in 2015.
Right now it's Alex Stalock from the Sharks.
