Re: The Mighty Ducks - best fantasy option???
I respectfully disagree on your proposition that Charlie Conway would be a good source of PIMs ... that kid has some serious integrity. Charlie Conway is like Tyler Bozak to Adam Banks' Phil Kessel, though, in terms of raw skill. Conway would be a 55+ player with elite FW numbers, decent peripherals, and he would be the top goal-scorer's best friend. Huge contract for Conway, of course. Some would argue that might make him lazy in the long run, but if you've seen the movies you know up to this point he's given his heart and soul on every shift. I'd probably prefer Banks if I had to choose an offensive option, although I'm concerned with his injury history. He was taken out HARD in that championship game against the Hawks, and one has to believe that Banks is just one hit away from long-term IR. Your comparison of Vanek is a pretty good indicator of his BAB status, but I think Banks is definitely well over a point-per-game player (40+ goals) when healthy.
Honestly, if we're talking dynasty league starting today with any Mighty Ducks player to build around I might have to go with Julie "the Cat" Gaffney. That chick was an absolute stud in goal, putting up elite numbers -- albeit over a brief career -- against guys twice her size and strength. Not to mention her dazzling performances against the Eden Hall boys Varsity team and Team Iceland in international competition ... To be able to add a stud netminder like that, one who is only a teenager with like a bazillion prime years still left, is invaluable to any team building from the crease.
SLEEPER PICK:
If you're looking for the next Radko Gudas, look no further than Fulton Reed. Once rumored to be ineligible for hockey due to his impending D1 football scholarships, Fulton Reed blasts his way into sleeper status with his devastating slapshot. If you thought Zdeno Chara and Shea Weber shot the puck, you ain't seen nuthin yet. Fulton Reed doesn't just hit the net 1/5 times and execute a perfect "Statue of Liberty" play with the Duncan siblings, he also puts up ELITE Hits/Blks/PIM totals, so he's basically a serviceable #1 Dman in ROTO leagues who will probably be available in the later rounds of your draft.
