Thoughts on Zibanejad for rest of year
Currently have him in one of my leagues. Is he the real deal or is this just early on and a hot streak he’s on which will eventually cool off?
...asking because I’ve sort of handicapped my team as I’m carrying 5 centres with only 3 starting spots. I don’t want to drop him since he has value atm and is a top20 player.

I'm expecting 60-65 point pace the rest of the way. He's the guy in NY and someone has to score. Last couple season he started super strong then the got injured and petered out after coming back. I think he figures it out this season and puts up 60-65 with upside of 70ish. I added him from free agency as soon as I started to see his usage numbers. There's a lot of guys I'd drop before him (points only leagues)

So he’s gonna be pretty effective I take it.Originally Posted by MZac
...what are your thoughts if I trade him for Parise? Similar sort of production and I get some positional relief...at least I think :$
Re: Thoughts on Zibanejad for rest of year
He's shooting the puck a ton more this season, and his S% is still below his career average. I don't think his shot volume continues at quite this pace, but I'd still put him as a threat to hit 30 goals for the first time in his career. The Rangers are finally riding that top line the way they should be, and with an average of 2 minutes a night more than last year he should cruise to a career year.
Now let's just hope he doesn't get another one of his annual fluke injuries.

if he's healthy i'm projecting 62 points
Re: Thoughts on Zibanejad for rest of year
I personally have avoided Parise for years. This year he's finally proving me wrong. But I'm still not buying. Ive had the same back surgery as he has and you're just not the same athletically from my experience anyway (of course he has access to way better people than me so who knows).
Zibby > Parise imo but I could be wrong this season...

I own both, Parise will at some point get hurt. If I had to give up one, I would keep Zibs.
