In terms of goals/assists, what's the likelihood Haydn Fleury becomes a fantasy relevant d-man at all? By 2016?
By "relevant" let's say 37pts or more...
Thanks, MD.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Can you guess at three players you'd expect to be moved at Trade Deadline - and who will have a value-BUMP in leagues from the trade?
Do you have any strategies for preparing for H2H playoffs?
I'll be 13-2 this week, and I'm beating teams by 50-100 points (team 2 sig). I've already looked at my playoff schedules, and am trying to figure out if I need to make some deals to maximize my games. That may involve dealing bigger players (ex: Ducks players), but I don't want to rock the boat too much.
Any thoughts, or strategies?

Do you think Vanek will turn it around any time this year?
A couple that jump out right away because I've been all over them in the ramblings are Antoine Vermette and Chris Stewart.
Stewart would almost certainly see a bump (though he has already gotten something going with 10 in his last 15).
Vermette might not actually benefit much except for a plus/minus boost since he's getting top minutes right now.
But because I've already hyped those a bunch I'll toss you a few others:
Jeff Petry
Andrej Sekera
Craig Anderson
Zack Kassian
Jaromir Jagr
Lining up playoff schedules is important. I've made moves to grab guys off the Rangers, Blues and Kings recently to prep for my five-week playoff run. More important though is to start buying low and selling high. If you go all out to line up your schedule but buy high across the board you may cost yourself some points.
You are 13-2 so obviously you've got some big breakout stars. Maybe time to cash some of those in for proven commodities.
Looking at my Protection List in my sig - is there any way I can protect David Perron this offseason?
We are adding two new teams, so I am 100% losing two players - who would you leave unprotected to shelter Perron, or would you even bother?
(Nylander and Kapanen had to be set at the start of the season - I can't change their Protection status).
I'm currently in 1st, hoping to have a little run of Championships over the next few years.
