Appraising a Few D-men
I'm looking to get an idea of value, 18/19 season GP estimate, and short-term future production for a few less-than-spectacular D-men...:
Stephen Johns
Slater Koekkoek
Need to make room for drafted rookies, and these are guys that might get dropped...

Re: Appraising a Few D-men
I agree with this but Koek could have some offensive production as his career progresses. With your league counting hits and blocks, I think Johns should get a big bump. I think Baby's comment is a good floor for them.Originally Posted by The Bottlenecker

Re: Appraising a Few D-men
I dont see much fantasy value from either Dman for offensive production but Johns at least offers hits and blocks.
Koekkoek would be my drop.

Re: Appraising a Few D-men
I like this opinion. Offensive outlook, neither is a great option for points and shots and PPP. As said, MAYBE 20pts. Peripheral categories, i think Johns is the pick here for hits/blocks as Axeman said.

Re: Appraising a Few D-men
Koekkoek reminds me of Barberio - he'll never quite pan out until maybe right around when we've forgotten about him. Johns will be a depth guy but might play more regularly due to his style.

Re: Appraising a Few D-men
Agree with Axe here, especially with Honka emerging. For me both of these guys will be serviceable as bottom end D men but at least Johns should provide better peripherals
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Re: Appraising a Few D-men
Thanks for the replies. I also feel the same way about Johns' being more valuable with the hits. Will probably drop Koekkoek.
