2nd team in sig.

Tim Connolly
Jussi Jokinen
Jason Blake
Rich Peverly
Andrew Ebbet
Mikhail Grabovski
Jarret Stoll
Andrew Cogliano
Sammy Pahlson
Jiri Tlusty
Ryan Shannon

thx

[MXHockey]

I would rank them:

1)Mikhail Grabovski
2)Tim Connolly
3)Jiri Tlusty
4)Andrew Cogliano
5)Rich Peverly
6)Jason Blake
7)Jussi Jokinen
8)Andrew Ebbet
9)Jarret Stoll
10)Ryan Shannon
11)Sammy Pahlson

Due to age, Blake could easily be moved down to 9th.

Connolly is injury prone, and moving him down to 5th wouldn\'t be a stretch either.

Some may put Tlusty higher.

Overall, a tough list. Definitely wait for others to post, so you get more feedback.

Cheers.

Conolly
Blake
Grabovski
Tlusty
Cogliano
Stoll
Ebbett
Jokinen
Shannon
Peverly
Pahlson

very tough list to rank since the majority of these players are dependable on who they play with, who their linemates are and their opportunity to play. Some could almost be borderline AHLers due to bad timing, etc. etc. (Shannon, Peverly)

I ranked them on potential for next season.

[sexymountain]

my thinking was i rather have a PPG player for half a year than a borderline player who may put up 60 points. i still have a while to go so a few of these guys may be taken in the next few picks.

The reason i put Grabber and Tlusty higher is because you\'re in a keeper. If the guys you are drafting are going to be drops next year than ranking Connolly and Blake as 1-2 makes sense.

Drafting younger with upside vs certain points now - it depends on your keeper numbers at the end of each year and who you already have on your roster.


I think Grabovski hits 55-60pts this year, and IMO that should be the leader of this pack with the exception of Connolly (but that\'s only if Connolly stays healthy - which is doubtful).

Grabovski,Blake,Connoly, peverley, Stoll,Tlusty, Jokinen, Ebbett, Cogliano,shannon, Pahlson... I like this order obviously the top three are simple but I like peverley cuz if white dont perform he\'s the first to jump into the center spot with kovi and we all saw the damage they did...Stoll i like cuz he\'s a multi stat contributer and on a increasing talented L.A. team i think he coulod regain his old/rookie young form...Jokinen had an off season but could have a breakout next year if he lines up with staal...hope this helps a bit

molsonX we keep are entire team the league is the 2nd one in my sig btw.

What jumps out to me is that there\'s FW so that immediately boosts the value of guys like Jokinen who win faceoffs from the wing, and Stoll/Pahlsson who win a tonne of faceoffs.

Even with some prospects on there, they are fringe guys who are may or may not even make much of an impact in the league so you pretty much have to go with what each guy\'s current value is.

I rank em like this:

Connolly
Blake
Stoll
Grabovski
Cogliano
Tlusty
Ebbett
Jokinen
Shannon
Peverly
Pahlsson

Tim Connolly 70+ point pace based on 80 games. In a league of his own in regard to what he could do next year, compared to the other guys on the list. Do for a new injury, as he played the last half of the year. Maybe he\'ll get a new variety of life threatening athletes foot from playing beach volleyball this summer.

Jussi Jokinen 40-50 points. Expect more of the same.

Jason Blake - 55+ points. He\'s in the right town at the right time to do what he does.

Rich Peverley - 35 points in 39 games. Was in the ECHL just a couple years ago. 26 years old, so he\'s mature. Isn\'t this story a little too good to be true? Tread carefully. I like his TRADE value.

Andrew Ebbet - again an older guy finally making a bit of a mark. I have a hard time believing in these types of players.

Mikhail Grabovski - hope 50+. Probably the most promising youngster on the list.

Jarret Stoll - probably crap or middling

Andrew Cogliano - So many players in Edmonton are supposed to by top 6 forwards. They can\'t all find a spot. Good kid. Didn\'t take the step forward. Hope for 50.

Sammy Pahlson - checker not a points guy. Why\'s he on the list?

Jiri Tlusty - interesting kid. Should be opportunity for him in Toronto. Gotta be happy with him making the NHL before you mark him in for a bunch of points. 30+ points.

Ryan Shannon - the third 26 year old on this list trying to make good on an NHL chance. I\'m not very interested. Opportunity is excellent in Ottawa. What more could he be looking for? You can have him, I don\'t want him.
