Dobber's Lowdown feature - your input needed. Tamp Bay Lightning!

[Dobber]

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!), NY Islanders (Pulock over Beauvillier!) are already in the books, and the NYR and OTT and PHI polls are up NOW so check them out and vote https://www.facebook.com/DobberSports/

Today's poll - the Tampa Bay Lightning. Please vote!

I want to say Point but I am really curious on JT Miller and what you feel his upside is now that he will play a full season in TB.

[PenguinHunter]

this was tough... I really like JT Miller, but I think the outlook for him is very clear... points, points and more points playing with Stamkos and Kucherov.

I wanna know more of an outlook of how Johnson or Killorn fit into this team for this year and after this year. I voted Killorn cause I think he is more likely to stay and Johnson is the one to go.

[ericdaoust]

Miller is by far the most intriguing player on this team. Looked like a real star after the trade and the supporting cast is enough to help him (potentially) stay at this level.

No option for Karlsson?

No option for Karlsson?

He'll be there under Vegas.

I have the idea Cooper played Sergachev to a sheltered role last year, I'm not sure if the numbers confirm that. Will he face tougher situations this year? What's his upside in that case?

Topic, but off topic...

Did anyone else scratch their head and wonder why (WHY!?!) Yzerman offered that contract to McDonagh? Just, why? If the Bolts wanted to own the 'Brent Seabrook' contract they could have just asked for Seabrook. This McDonagh contract is going to one of the worst in the league in very short order.

[ericdaoust]

Also, not sure why that contract needed a NTC in writing. The terms of the contract alone are a NTC.

Give me the lowdown on Gourde. how good can he get and is he destined to be buried on the 3rd line?

[The Comish]

Sir Gachev for me, although I do like Miller.

[Eskimo Brother]

Close race between Miller/Gourde/Sergachyev!
