My team is strong...but ?
Hey guys,
Just popping by and hoping to pick your brains for what you guys think of my team. See sig for team roster.
I see quite a bit of value in the FA available and would like to see if there are any improvements you guys think could be done on my team. Goalies I am set, but maybe if I can flip Fleury and a weaker forward for an upgrade in right wing, but currently the bottom of my roster looks like it could be much improved.
Pirri is a surprising one, he has value in goal scoring and as a high volume shooter. However, I am open to moving him in favour for players like Anders Lee who was just dropped. I also see weakness in Jack Johnson, who has some legal issues going on and I am looking for other options
(perhaps roll 5 defenceman or even find a defensive defenceman that hits and blocks like Michael Stone, or Andy Greene or Niskanen?)
Some of the top FAs are:
Lee (does not have winger eligibility yet, but good for high volume shots)
Riberio (Great for assists and PPP but weak on peripherals)
Nelson (centre only, but isn't he going to play winger on second line?)
Nielson (centre of islander's second line, good for all round production)
Willaims (not playoffs...so maybe not?)
Atkinson (SOG beast, but getting crowded in CLB)
Yakupov (is he the real deal or nay?)
Brad Richards (second line centre on DET until Datsyuk is back..)
Jagr (this man is a cyborg)
Tanguay
Soderberg
Beleskey (playing with Krejci?)
Ennis
Elias Lindholm/Victor Rask?
Wisniewski (top PP option, decent shots, threat to hit 40-50 points?)
Frolik
Cammalleri
Burrows (sedin time or is he broken now?)
Niederreiter
Pouliot (sneaky value playing with Nuge?)
Nichushkin? (maybe next year?)
Dano (break out candidate?)
Teravainen (third line centre, or not?)
Tom Wilson (is this guy a goon or what)
Chris Stewart (opportunity with Getzlaf?)
Brown (steals Lucic's job?)
Shane Doan (consistency is good too..)
Matt Moulson (value in a proven goal scorer)
Bozak (yes kessel is gone, but there's still value as a centre right?)
Barkov (really like the guy, but is this the year?)
Ideally, I would be looking for a multi-cat stud, but there are only so many. Dano is an intriguing one, but I do roster Shaw who does many of those things as well as is the grinder on that top powerplay...
As usual, any thoughts are highly appreciated.
