    Default Asking for a Friend: Leipsic or Dal Colle?

    Points-Only... (pretty much) - which guy is likely to get more points over next 5 years?
    a) Brendan Leipsic, age 25, RFA-LA
    b) Michael Dal Colle, age 23, RFA-NYI

    Yikes. I'd say Leipsic only because I'm more confident in him player more in the NHL. It's hard to recommend Dal Colle for much.
    10 Team, Points Only, Cash League

    25 Man Roster (no position), top 20 point getters count at end of month
    Keep 20/25 at seasons end, Cut 5 to FA for redrafting
    Goalie points W=2pt L=-1pt SHO=2pt

    Stamkos, Tavares, Eichel, Mercer, JRobertson, RThomas, Kucherov, Nugent-Hopkins, Tuch, KConnor, Necas, Point, Konecny, SJarvis, Cozenz, Morrissey, Bouchard, Josi, Novak, Tolvanen, Peterka, Brink

    G- Vasilevskiy, Sorokin, Oettinger

    I'll actually go the other way. Dal Colle made massive strides last year in his development.
    Skating improved, 2-way game improved. Offensively things finally clicked in the AHL.

    He'll never be that top line 30-30 guy once projected...
    but...
    I think he can carve himself out a role similar to Brett Connolly still.
    He's got the chops to hit 20g annually. Become a really productive 3rd liner with solid PP time.

    Leipsic is more of a PK fiesty 4th liner who will fill in on the 3rd line sometimes.
    His PP potential is minimal, even in LA
    He's now on his 4th team - Tor, Veg, Van, LA

    Dal Colle is still with NYI. They still see something in him
    3 teams have seen Leipsic as expendable

    I'll vote Dal Colle, but I feel like there should be a better option than either. MDC might have more trade value though.

    I own Leipsic but I’d move him for MDC. Leipsic has had a shot with numerous teams, including weak teams that provided opportunities for him to take a top 6 spot, and he hasn’t stuck. Both are longshots at this point though. You must be in a deep league.

    I'd dump them both (Having owned them both) and see if you can snag Ennis / Gagner on the cheap!

    Answer is...YES...YES YOU CAN.

    I'd still take MDC over both... most likely i'm in the minority with that statement. I think MDC still has some solid 40+pt upside.

    Fugg you guys... these answer are way to 50-50... LOL.
    Well, at least I feel good about being indecisive.

    Keep opinions coming!!! - but don't mess up - I'll be bumping this thread in FIVE years (you know me, I'm a thread re-visiter)!!!

    *For those interested, this is the (prestigious) 24-team WHL (evans & havana are GMs) where teams are trimming down from 35 players to 25 players by June 30th midnight. 600 total league keepers: 24 teams x 25 keepers.
    *LW is a bit thin for me (& the league) these days... I've only got Oskar Lindblom on my roster and need 3LW per day... so I'm up-valuing these guys a tad more than they should be!

    As my own team value goes, I just recently cut:
    35. David Backes
    34. Alex Goligoski
    33. Oscar Lindberg
    32. Ivan Lodnia
    31. Libor Hajek
    ...
    my 21-30 group includes: <J.Boqvist, I.Ratcliffe, M.Joseph, A.Volkov, Cholowski, Joey Anderson>... <Leipsic & Dal Colle>... <Alex Biega, Charlie Lindgren> [not necessarily in that order, but grouped... sort of yes]

    5 of those gotta go.
    5 of those get to stay.
    [And there's only trade interest in the 5 best of that group... LOL]

    Mmmmm... IDK if you've watched Leipsic enough.
    1. He doesn't play PK. In fact, of his 564min with LA last season, he didn't touch the ice for a second of PK.
    2. Where he actually does have some nice touch is on the powerplay. He had 72min, 8th among LA forwards. He's got very solid hockey sense/vision/IQ/planning.


    *Now, that's just one highlight... but everything about Leipsic, when I watch say "This guy... could... be the next Jonathan Marchessault."
    He skates well, he moves well, he's almost always looking/thinking, he sees guys setting up for a shot and he releases pucks quick himself.
    He's done point-per-game in the AHL.
    He's gotten PPTOI .

    I mean, GMs are seeing something in this guy.
    Vegas took him in their expansion draft from the options left by the Leafs.
    Vegas ended up showing unexpectedly great depth in 17/18, and traded him to Vancouver... who simply didn't have a spot for him.
    VAN got him cheap (for P.Holm) and I think they thought they could waive(/sneak) him down to minors.
    He was pretty quickly claimed by LA in Dec, 2018... I think they were around last - and had nearly highest claim position... other teams may have been interested.

    Marchessault-ish... it's there... at least I see it, VGK and LA GMs suggestively see something.
    I really wish his RFA contract gets settled so I can see how Blake "values" him.

    But he's a guy with a LOT of upside... in the right place... he could... Marchessault.
    Personally, I like him quite a bit... but yeah, it's a bit frustrating that he doesn't seem to click yet.
    I'm not sure if LA has tried him in a top two line wing spot yet... PP2, yes.
