What's going on with Enstrom? Is he worth picking up?
I suspect we see Kuznetsov in March, and if we don't then I doubt we see him at all (though still possible, it's just a hunch). Grigorenko's stock hasn't changed in my eyes. Still a lot of upside, it just will take a while. Buffalo is not doing him any favors at all. I don't think he leaves the NHL at this point. Even Filatov gave the NHL several chances.Originally posted by Axeman33 View Post
What's your thoughts on Kuzenetsov. Do you think he will be coming to the NHL sooner or later?
Since we are on the topic of Russians, what do you see the future holding for Grigorenko? Will he make it Buffalo or he is bound for the KHL at the end of his deal?

I need a goalie to replace Bobrovsky temporarily. Who would you rather have out of Thomas, Gustavsson, or Andersen (ANH) for your 3rd fantasy goalie? Thanks Dobber!

Brown will rebound and Doan will regress, so walk away from this offerOriginally posted by ChewBackes View Post
I'm in a keeper league, 10 teams, Head to Head, 6 keeper, 3 LW/RW/C, 5D, 1 UTIL, 2 G, 3 Bench. G, A, PPP, FOW, HIT, BLK
It's a little over 1/3 through the season, and I'm in first, just got offered Shane Doan for Dustin Brown plus a 9th round pick for an 11th round pick.
My keepers now are Kopitar, Nicklas Backstrom, Getzlaf, Bobby Ryan, Cory Schneider, Lundqvist, so certainly fine with giving up Brown.
I ran my team through Fantasy Hockey Geek and can certainly handle losing Brown's hits, but I know he's been slow out of the gate at times in the
past. I don't want to give up on him, but I drafted him after someone else took David Backes, thinking Brown would put up similar numbers. Doan's
been a pretty consistent 50-60 point guy, and I could certainly use his scoring if he maintains this season's pace. So, will Brown bounce back and
Doan regress so I should I hold on, or should I pull the trigger on Doan?
Many Thanks!
Cheers

Thanks for taking questions. I've got a few.
Markstrom - at this point in time, how do you feel about his chances to become a quality NHL starter and, if so, when?
Conacher - I like his game and own him but I'm hoping for a trade. Ottawa gave up a lot to get him which may constrain a trade. Do you think he gets traded? Any general thoughts about him as a fantasy own would be appreciated.
Goligoski - see a theme? Same type of question - with the (terrible) way the Sabres are developing him, do you still see him becoming a fantasy asset or is it more likely he'll be a bust or flee to KHL?

"It's such a fine line between stupid, and clever."
Atkinson for Skinner is the right move even if Atkinson was on fire right now.Originally posted by brotherhood View Post
Hey Dobber, I can make one and only one drop/pick up before the end of Dec./13. Thinking it's time to drop Atkinson, and I can pick up either
Kreider or Skinner. Who do you recommend? Pts only pool, 2 per goal, 1 per assist, no positional requirements. Thanks

Markstom - instead of 99% one year ago, I would say I'm 80%. 1.5 years, with next year being a backup.Originally posted by His Dudeness View Post

Conacher - I'm 50/50 on him being traded early enough to make a difference. I would not target him in any trade and if I owned him I would stash him if I have the roster space otherwise I would drop him.
Goligoski - I take it you mean Grigorenko - I think he stays in the NHL, but the wait will be long and painful as you watch him fail to produce as he's given 10 minutes of ice time per game this year and next. Ideally, he goes to the AHL next year the way Nino went down for a year.

Hey Dobber, thanks in advance.
I have two picks in a row for my prospect draft, I'm on the offline clock.
I am in 9th/12 and 30 pts out of first (not looking good for this year) and I'm looking at Lack, Hellberg, Raanta, Visentin, Jaskin, Barber
My goaltending is terrible, I need to address that - I like Jaskin but don't particularly like Stl's sytem and he's a lw (pretty deep there and drafted Drouin)
what's my play?

2 Kuznetsov

Hi Dobber! Thanks in advance continue your good work. It's always a pleaure reading you.
Currently sitting in 3rd place at 15 point from the lead. I still have a waiver claim in bank. But not sure if is to soon or not and who to pick.
Prize free agent rignt now are
Left wing : Mats Zuccarello
Center : Nick Bonino
Center : Mike Santorelli
If it's me I probably go Raanta. He'll be backup next year, and could start elbowing his way into a lot of starts by the year after that.Originally posted by Thejem View Post

I would cut Kuznetsov, unfortunately. The other four are already NHLers with good upside. Kuznetsov has the highest upside, but he's not over here and one wonders if he will be. I do think he does come, but again - just a guess.Originally posted by Bronz View Post
