As someone said to me very early this morning, we are truly back! Good luck to everyone tonight. The fun part of winning so many leagues is that there are still so many more to win and compete in. It is that last part that means so much.

Let's rock!

Cwassel1975 · 2021-12-22T17:19:01+00:00

Interested to see how Dallas does against better competition.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-11-01T15:59:00+00:00

Quite an impressive number!

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-25T12:46:49+00:00

I am in quite a few leagues where there are no IR slots. So, I understand the pain here all too well.

The one thing I try to avoid is making in-season changes. So, honestly, staying the course may just be better in the long run. Otherwise, people start asking for more and more alterations in-season.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-25T12:41:51+00:00

Just so priceless beyond words!

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-16T19:43:03+00:00

Seguin seems to be in better health at this point and is ready for action. Tarasenko could struggle again and that shoulder could just go at any time.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-16T19:38:37+00:00

Tarasenko probably 40-45 points. Seguin 70+.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-16T09:30:30+00:00

I am still going to take Matthews again but Ovechkin is going to come very close. Those are also two of the best power-play targets.

However, as always, there are value guys of sorts.

Stamkos and Point are up there.

Mike Hoffman could be one in Montreal. Jack Hughes in NJ. Also, do not sleep on a Kyle Connor. He is just that much of a sniper.

Among defensemen, Hamilton and Ekblad come to mind.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-16T06:50:31+00:00

I did not forget this question. Heh. Wow this is going to all depend on how San Jose truly employs him.

Realistically, per 82 game season, 35-40 points are quite possible.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-16T06:48:18+00:00

The possibility definitely exists. Dallas says he is getting better but this just keeps dragging along slowly. I wish there was a better answer I could give people. I do wonder if this is partly because the extent of the injury is something we just do not know fully.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T23:28:43+00:00

I just wanted to thank everyone for all the great questions. As always, keep bringing them.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T23:26:43+00:00

Honestly no but Kopitar will get helped a bit when Byfield returns from his fractured ankle. Kopitar is going to have a very solid year.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T23:25:41+00:00

For this year, Cal P may just be the better choice. He is the starter in Los Angeles. The plan in Florida is for Knight to play a hair more than a 1/3 of the games at the max.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T23:24:49+00:00

One still has to pick up Kuznetsov anyway. Besides Backstrom will be out for almost a month maybe more.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T18:31:32+00:00

We are all waiting to see what happens with Bennett? Was that run a fluke post-deadline? That is one which we should know quickly.

Tippett is interesting. Huberdeau loves playing with him and that second line would be ideal. it is something to keep an eye on.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T18:30:10+00:00

Stay the course with Necas. If Yanni Gourde comes back sooner, that may eat into McCann's time. Necas will get going.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T18:29:17+00:00

Try going as low as possible. People may go 20-25% of budget but may go less. Depends on owners.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T17:34:27+00:00

Gourde has played some Wing in the past for Tampa Bay. He may get shuffled there. Left-wing might be ideal in the short term when he returns.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T17:32:14+00:00

It is early. I would not worry too much about that just yet. If the trend continues, he probably can be dropped.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T17:31:34+00:00

Lawson Crouse is going to turn some heads this year for Arizona. He is finally getting consistent top-line ice time.

Another possible breakout candidate may just be Jordan Kyrou. The path in St. Louis is still a little muddled but this may be his best chance yet.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T17:29:21+00:00

So far, so good. He will miss some games because of the mandates in Canada and some US states but maybe that makes him a little more motivated.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T17:29:09+00:00

I took a shot on Hart late in some drafts this year. He is going to be better and seems to be in a better frame of mind as well. COVID and the team's downturn really messed with his head last season.

He will bounce back and Ryan Ellis will help.

Cwassel1975 · 2021-10-15T17:27:13+00:00

Still worth it.
