I noted drops above. Last drop was down to Marchand, O'Reilly, Schwartz, Lehner or Whitney. Since you're rebuilding and your defense sucks, I ruled out Whitney, Lehner and Schwartz. So between Marchand and O'Reilly I prefer O'Reilly. That's the thinking. What you need to do now is full focus on defensemen. If a superstar forward falls in your lap (i.e. Yakupov) then you have to draft him, but otherwise focus on D as much as you can.

Holtby will be the guy. Nobody gets traded until the Caps see what they have. They are hoping Holtby will emerge as a stud and Neuvirth shows that he is too good to be a backup. Then they can trade Neuvirth next summer. Won't happen before then. And maybe not even then. They need to wait for Grubauer, who is still two years off.

1. Answered in the post above
2. JVR will thrive as a center to the point that it surprises. Only thing to stop this bold prediction is health - he gets hurt a lot. That could disrupt his development into a stud.
3. Yes. Who knows where. EDM would be nice that's for sure. At this point that would be my guess...but 1/29 chance we're correct!
4. I think he can be a low-70s player, and this year he'll debut at 40 points or so.

Are you still high on Chris Mueller's chances of making it in Nashville? Is his new two-way deal the same kiss of death you said it is for other older prospects?

OK 15 team league rotisserie, 10 keepers, one a gk. Pretty much thinking gonna keep
RNH,Weiss,Richards

Last keeper down to Nyquist, B Smith or Hodgson. Not sure which one at this point. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Stats in sig.
Hi Dobber,
With the league in my sig below, and keeping in mind that gwg will be replaced by BS after this coming season..
Who would be your first two picks out of:
Yakupov, Galchenyuk, Skinner, J.Staal, Purcell, JvR, Duchene?
Also i have a prospect keeper, who would you keep out of:
Bernier, B.Smith, Nyquist, Turris?
Thanks

Thanks as always.
Would like your thoughts on some low end guys for a 30 team, points only 25 man roster league. Slim pickings but these are the guys that can make or break a team in a 30 team league.
Lombardi- will he ever be fantasy relevant again ie. say 42- 45+ points
Joensuu- has one year to impress NYI. Will he and proj. points?
Bobby Butler- can he find a spot in the Sens roster this year or next and put up points?
Kaberle- points for this season
Nikitin- points for this season
Excelsior~ Ever Higher
Dear Mr. Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything, take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar, make it snappy~ Traffic
A couple more-
Rinne or Schneider- (wins and SO catg.) for next year
Luke Adam- worth holding onto on a 5 man farm team (25 yrs. old or younger) could he crack the Buff roster in a year or two and re-establish his game?

Thanks for doing this Dobber.
Ottawa's got a glut of talented forwards. Which of Silfverberg, Zibanejad and/or Stone do you see actually keeping a spot in the top 6 in Ottawa this year?
Or does the forgotten Peter Regin reclaim one of those spots?
Hey Dobber thanks for doing this, started a thread about this but I figured id throw it in here as well.
Its bit of a long post but wanted to give you all the info. The real questions are bolded below.
13 GM, 30 player, points only keeper. The top 12 forwards, 4 Defenceman and 1 Goalie count at the end of the year. We keep 12 F, 4 D and 1 G + any prospects with less than 150 NHL games played.
I have the 3rd and 12th overall in the entry draft with the same players available as the 2012 NHL entry draft. I also have the 3rd and 12th and 29th overall in our waiver draft which covers and free agents and or dropped/unprotected players.
My team is currently as follows: (2 empty roster spots to be filled at draft time)
Protect list:
Claude Giroux
Anze Kopitar
Patrick Kane
Tomas Fleischmann
Martin Erat
Michael Cammalleri
Artem Anisimov
Matt Duchene
James Van Riemsdyk
Michael Frolik
Curtis Glencross
Martin Hanzal
Alexander Edler
Dion Phaneuf
Kevin Shattenkirk
Oliver Ekman-Larsson
Marc-Andre Fleury
Prospects:
Zac Dalpe
Nino Niederreiter
Evgeny Kuznetsov
Mikael Granlund
Nazem Kadri
Gustav Nyquist
David Rundblad
Dmitri Orlov
Adam Larsson
Brendan Smith
Jonathan Bernier
My two entry draft picks will get my roster size back up to the max of 30 but my next three picks in the waiver draft will require me to drop 3 players in order to make room for acquisitions.
So my questions are; who are the 3 most expendable assets on my team (incl. prospects)? and who would you rank as the top 5 of the available free agents (listed below)?
Saad, Silfverberg, Stone, Conacher, Telegin, Atkinson, Smith-Pelley, Rattie, Cervenka, Eakin, Jarnkrok, Mursak, Hansen, Bowman, Butler, P. Dupuis (Pit), Ott, McGinn, D. Jones, Talbot, Cleary, Cullen
Keepers league, 16 teams, G, A, +/-, PIM, SOG, DEF (defensemen points), STP (PPP+SHP)
position are 9 F, 5 D, 2G + some bench. No LW, RW, C comming into play.
I keep 8
got
Oveshkin,
Bakstrom,
Semin,
J. Stall,
Paccioretty,
Roy,
Selanne,
Okposso,
Pietrangelo,
Yandle,
Subban,
Visnovski,
Got Luongo and Miller as my goalie tandem. So that 2 keeper, i need 6 more: Oveshkin, Backstrom Pietrangelo and Yandle are a lock for me, the rest I'm not so sure.
Looking to win now.
Thanks, and great job, love Dobber hockey! going to enroll in the dobber roto entry league this year, failed at 3rd 2 years ago, think I'm eligible to reapply this year. Hope I get lucky and you pick my name (I know it's random).
Cheer
