Players You Have Compeltely Given Up On.

Andre Burakovsky : "He's going to explode this year, I know it!" - Last 3 seasons

This. He's on my list too, forgot about him.

Michael Dal Colle.
Valeri Nichushkin.
I can't say I've ever owned either player... but because their stocks have been low... I watch them.
Now - I'm not sure I'd take either for the worst player on either of my deep dynasties.

Probably too late as this is obvious, but given what he did when he came in........Gus Nyquist. If Detroit can get half of what they got for Tatar I'll be happy.

Fantasy wise, I really like both Nyquist and Tatar as solid streaming options in a deep league and decent bench players in even deeper formats.

I think you've given up on Drouin too early. Breakout year... mark my words.

I may have to revive this thread after the season to add him to my list though if it doesn't work out haha

I guess it depends on what I mean by giving up on these players. I don't expect Drouin to disappear completely, but I don't think he will come anywhere close to reaching the potential many thought he had. I think he maxes out as a 55 pt player. That still makes him valuable in some leagues, but many thought he'd become a star player capable of at least PPG numbers. In fact, I used to expect that from him too, but now I have given up on him becoming anything close to a top player.

I still think he has the talent to approach PPG numbers. Maybe he doesn't quite get there but I wouldn't be surprised to see him settle in the 70-75 point range starting this year.

The whole damn Strome family

Just unloaded Dylan after carrying him for three yrs with zero success..I'm done!

Claude Giroux - now here me out.

The last two seasons that I owned him he put up 67 and then 58 points. Last year he goes off - after I had already moved him for peanuts. Every time I acquire or draft him - he shits the bed.

So.. why have i given up on him - cuz i'm tired of him hating playing for me. Time for me to step back and say screw you too! I will no longer play victim to his bloody games. Go ahead be a Stallion for someone else. but I know as soon as I get weak, give in and reaquire - he'll turn back into a f---ing Donkey..

A couple weeks back about half the forum gave up on Ehlers

one never knows.....

Mike Green


Except he's coming back tonight... should I pick him up?!! I think I should...

[DusterDave]

Nino Neiderreiter has screwed me for the last time as well. He burnt me last year and I foolishly drafted him again this year hoping he would turn it around but same old story with him. Dropped him today in my main keeper and I’m never looking back.

I looked back.
