Varlamov – I told you so – Ramble – May 03, 2009

Cam Barker would be a 65-point guy starting next year if he can only stay healthy. He can't, so he'll merely be a 55-point guy.
Eric Fehr has zero points in eight games and is a minus-3.
Phil Kessel has a swollen left elbow that caused him to miss practice yesterday, but he is practicing this morning.
Petr Sykora played 11 minutes yesterday, going pointless. It was Miro Satan's turn to sit. Neither player will reach 40 points again in this league. Time to get the tiniest shred of return on them in your keeper league.
Kris Versteeg is having a fantastic playoff with eight points in eight games. He was really tailing off in the latter half, but has stepped up huge when it counts.
My John Druce pick for the playoffs, Chad LaRose, has seven points in eight games. I think he can get 40 next campaign.
I boldly stated in the January edition of Dobber Nation that Varlamov would be Washington's starting goalie next season and that he would rack up the wins. Clearly, it's happened even sooner than that and hopefully you were able to pick him up in time!
One of the best saves I've ever seen…

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – The Wilkes-Jarry Penguins
Elizabeth and Lewis are back to take listeners through a host of power play changes that are giving managers the opportunity to get exposure to great players off the waiver wire, including Philly, Jersey, and Tampa talk. They also cover Jarry’s AHL demotion, Cooley’s ascension to the top-line and powerplay, and injuries to Tavares and Hintz. The duo wrap up with some hot and cold streak deep dives, including discussion of the Red Wings crazy powerplay success in the last ten games, whether Erik Gustafsson is rosterable or an overperforming illusion, Fantilli’s continued success, Merilainen as Hamburglar 2.0, and whether Schenn’s success and Neighbours’ lack thereof are likely to continue.
