Labanc for me... it was him or Meier, but I feel like I've got a better mental projection of Meier.

This year my "Lowdown" feature in the Fantasy Guide (https://www.dobbersports.com/shop) will be 100% reader-influenced. I would love your help determining which players to dig deep on and give my thoughts as to their immediate and long-term futures. Typically I stay away from the obvious superstars that will just take up valuable space (why should I tell you that Sidney Crosby is good - didn't you know that?). I also stay away from pure prospects that have in-depth profiles in the Fantasy Prospects Report, since three-quarters of the Guide customers also get the FPR (via the Keeper League Pack). What's left are the guys who are more of a question mark. The tough decisions.
We'll take the Top 2 players voted here and put them in our Facebook poll to get the final guy. Anaheim (Montour wins over Kase!), Arizona (Dvorak wins over Galchenyuk!), Boston (DeBrusk wins over Heinen!), Buffalo (A TIE! Reinhart tied Thompson so I guess I'll have to do TWO lowdowns for BUF!), Calgary (Lindholm over Bennett!), Carolina (Faulk ekes past Rask), Chicago (DeBrincat wins over Schmaltz!), Colorado (Girard wins over Jost!), Columbus (Dubois wins over Milano!), Dallas (Honka wins over Lindell!), Detroit (Svechnikov wins over Athanasiou!), Edmonton (Puljujarvi wins over Klefbom!), Florida (Matheson baaaaarely gets past Bjugstad 51% to 49%!), Los Angeles (Kempe over Toffoli!), Minnesota (Eriksson Ek over Coyle!), Montreal (Domi over Drouin!), Nashville (Fiala over Turris!) are already in the books, and the NYI and NYR polls are up NOW so check them out and vote https://www.facebook.com/DobberSports/
Today's poll - the San Jose Sharks. Please vote!

I wanna learn more bout Timo Meier... any chance he cracks the top 6?
Only one player I could see him supplanting in the top 6 is Donskoi.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
I seem to always be in the minority on these. I'm curious if Hertl has what it takes to take another step forward, or if we've seen his approx peak.

Meier for me, but there were several that I would be happy to hear about as well - Hertl, Labanc, Donskoi.
