    Default Thanks a lot JM Liles

    This guy really let me down. He starts off with 26 points in 27 games and now he has 3 in 11. What a fantasy killer. What's wrong with him? He still plays the most minutes and gets the most pp time and Colorado is scoring a ton of points. Why is he sucking it so much now? I really thought he would be consistent the whole year. I knew he wouldn't get 75 points, but was thinking he could stay on pace to hit 60 really that big a task? Between injuries and trades that have backfired, and coaches (Lavaliolette) who have fudged up their goalies confidence, my fantasy team is in the shitter now. I'm very frustrated and just needed to vent. It's my birthday day today, so I'm entitled to it.

    29 in 38 is still a 60-pt pace. But I don't think he hits it. 60 is a tough number to crack for a D - usually only 4-5 a year. I'd be shopping him hard if I were you.

    GM's in our league aren't dumb. They know he is a buy low candidate right now.

    Looking at his previous stats, there is no way you drafted Liles with more than a 40-45 point expectation. He is on pace top hit those numbers. Anything else is gravy.

    I don't think so ;o) Top 5 scoring PPG D man in the NHL, scoring at a pace 20 points over his average full season best is a buy low in your league?

    So what are they selling? Even if they focus on the 3P in 11G, you should still be able to get a Kaberle, Huselius, Malone, Ladd, or Pominville for him. Hell maybe even Pronger or Alfredsson given their current injury/slump. He's still a top-25 D to own in any pool.

    The emergence of Shattenkirk really didn't help Liles...slowly the transition from Liles to Shatty is happening on the Avalanche blueline. Until Shattenkirk slows down, I just don't see liles returning to what he was at the beginning of the season.

    And seeds of grapes is right...nobody drafted Liles expecting the numbers he put up, he's a 40-45 point scorer.

    Shatty has slown down... no points in 6 games now. Time for Liles to wake up and assert himself again.

    He was probably carrying your team. You need some depth because you cant ever think they
    can keep up his pace all year long.
