Buy Low/Sell High Candidates

[Killer67]

Who are we looking at as some buy low or sell high candidates at this point of the season? People keep asking me about trading Voracek but I feel like he's the real deal. Who should be on our shopping lists right now?

I feel like Hossa and Shaw could be had at a bargain rate.

I'd love to sell Foligno/Soderberg for a lot more than they're worth, but they're not big names so no one is biting.

I think Miku Koivu is a good buy low... his point totals thus far do not represent how good he is... with that said... Minny stinks and doesn't score a whole lot and he is due for this annual injury soon...

Buy Low:
Patrick Kane
Shea Weber (sort of)
Taylor Hall
Kopitar
Sharp
Landeskog
McDonagh


Sell High:
Voracek
Nash (though I will go on the record saying I think he is back to being a contender for 70 pts)
Hornqvist (I see him as a 75 pt guy, though)
Giordano

I would put OV on the buy low list. I know it seems crazy to call someone scoring over a point-per-game buy low but in leagues that count hits and shots he is arguably the top player to own and I don't see him getting viewed this way by all GMs.

Hartnell might be a sell high.

Ehrhoff, Smith, Schneider, Koivu buy-lows.

[Moses]

Lars Eller. He is going to see improved wingers

[GretzkysMullet]

I like the Koivu suggestion in the buy low column.

Voracek is the real deal but his current pace is 1.57 PPG. I think it's pretty clear he won't continue to outpoint Crosby; I think a reasonable pace for him over the remainder of the season is around 0.85 PPG, giving him close to 90 points total. I think he's a great sell-high, but you should be looking for a Benn/Getzlaf level player who should bring around 0.9 PPG.

Koivu isn't a good buy low. He's being deployed similar to how Kesler is on Anaheim in that his primary role is to shutdown other forwards. He was a great own a few seasons ago when the next best player was PMB. With the glutton of talent Min has now, they can afford to put Koivu in that defensive role.

I agree and disagree Koviu might not score like previous years but he will surely pick it up from where he is at. You got to think he's at least a 50 point guy still....

I agree, but as an FYI, Getzlaf produces well above the 0.9 ppg mark.

He's typically produced around 1.1 ppg every season, if not more than that.

[GoNucks]

Kucherov a sell high along with Tarasenko & Lehtera.

Kopitar, Turris buy low options.

[keytolife]

Keeperwise Barkov and Bjugstad both stick out to me in terms of buy low atm. You need some time and they won´t help in a 1 year window but long term could pan out really well.

[Bender]

Forsberg strikes me as a good sell high. Do I think he will be a quality NHL player? Yes. Do I think he can keep up this ridiculous pace, not so much.

[dbrzrk]

Patty Kane might be a good buy low... He hasn't really lit it up like he normally does... I don't know how cheap you can get him, but worth monitoring. Malkin might be a good sell high candidate (if you are fearful that he will get hurt like he usually does.)
