Hi,

Any advice would be appreciated. In points only league, I would like to know which of these D\'s will get the most points this year? Can you maybe do a top 5 please.

Cam Barker
Keith Yandle
Alex Goligoski
Drew Doughty
Alex Pietrangelo
Zach Bogosian

And which of these forwards will get the most points? A top 5 would be great please.

Nikita Filatov
Patrik Berglund
T.J. Oshie
Sergei Kostitsyn
Kyle Okposo
Bryan Little
Mikael Backlund
Ted Purcell
Shawn Matthias
Michael Frolik
Nikolai Kulemin
Kevin Porter
Fabian Brunnstrom
Janne Pesonen
David Perron

Well a few of these D may not even play in the NHL this year, so it\'s tough to rank.

D Rank:
Keith Yandle
Cam Barker
Drew Doughty
Alex Goligoski
Zach Bogosian
Alex Pietrangelo (I think is back in junior one more year)

F Rank:

Sergei Kostitsyn
Janne Pesonen - boom or bust. Could get 15, or 60pts.
Patrik Berglund
T.J. Oshie
Nikita Filatov
Kyle Okposo
Ted Purcell
Fabian Brunnstrom

In that order for me... SK is the most proven to date.

I thought Filatov was the undisputed player to get the most points this year. Pietrangelo could be good because if he plays less than 60 games, he\'s still considered a rookie and automatically protected for next year. That\'s why there\'s no use for me to have a rookie that gets 40 pts because then I can\'t protect them after. We are 10 teams and protect 6 players at the end of the year. That\'s why I need immediate production.

Thanks for the ranking!

As it stands right now, Filatov is a long shot to even make the team. Columbus will bring in both Brassard and Voracek and they don\'t want too many young guys at the same time, plus they figure that Filatov might be better off getting loads of icetime in either the CHL or the AHL.

I agree that Kostitsyn will probably get the most points out of these guys. Somewhere around 50 points, maybe as high as 60. He\'s also got good upside.
