February 25th - Fantasy Mailbag

[angus]

Hey Angus,

My team is in the sig. I plan on doing some 2-1 trades in the off season to get the more elite players. But as it stands right now, who are my 10 keepers?

P.Kane, Kovalchuk, M.Richards, Ryan
Doughty, Yandle
C Ward
Spezza,Duchene,Okposo


If goalies are tough to get, keep both. If not, keep one (Ward).

[angus]

think you missed mine

my Tavares and Bryzgalov
for
Letang, Clowe, Brown, Fleischmann, Steen and a pile of picks


Unless you really need depth... pass.

Thanks Angus, always a great read and advice. cheers

Not a problem. Thanks to all for the questions!

Hey Angus.
Just wondering if the mailbag is still open.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just acquired:

Ryan
Lecavalier
Oshie
Del Zotto

for

Kesler
Zajac
Kadri
Seabrook

Points-only full keeper with no positions required for FWDs. I'm currently rebuilding. Curious to know what you think of this trade.

Will Ryan eventually be a consistent 80-point player?
Will Oshie find enough ice time on a crowded Blues top-6?
Will Lecavalier bounce back?
Will Del Zotto be a stud?

Thanks.

[angus]

Wow. Huge win! Two best players in the deal (potential wise).

Yes, yes, maybe, maybe.

[Bruins21]

Hey Angus. Who would you rather have in a H2H Dynasty League Erik Karlsson or Kevin Shattenkirk?

[angus]

Karlsson easy. Value low right now b/c of defensive struggles. Huge upside.

[Bighabfan]

Yes I would. Depends how much more you would add though.

I'm not adding anyone - offering Kesler for Giroux. Too weak an offer? He's been sitting on it for 3 days........

Does it make sense to keep all three goalies? None of your other skaters jump out at me.

Sure, I was leaning towards keeping the 3 goalies. Thats 6. What about the other 2?

Hamonic and Bieksa

[holdUP]

Just wondering your thoughts on the Vokoun situation. Does he re-sign with Florida? If not, where do you think he'll end up next year (top 3)?

Thanks for your input buddy!
