Remaining 2015 NHL Free Agents and Quick-Ref Guide
Dobber
2015-07-02
Lots of movement over the past week. I’ve sorted it all out for you. You’re welcome.
Here is a list of the fantasy hockey breakdowns we’ve done, in alphabetical order of the key player. For easy reference:
| 1 | Mike Green | Could thrive as the top dog in the right city (DET) |
| 2 | Karri Ramo | This year’s Jaroslav Halak? Re-signed (Calgary) |
| 3 | Mike Ribeiro | Will likely be a Pred. Legal issues will hurt options Re-signed (NSH) |
| 4 | Cody Franson | As long as it’s not Nashville, he’ll surprise this year |
| 5 | Martin St. Louis | Needs a stud centerman (Retired) |
| 6 | Alexander Semin | He’s awesome. He’s awesome not. He’s awesome. He’s awesome not. He’s… |
| 7 | Michael Frolik | With the $ he’s looking for, he’ll be a scoring-line player (CGY) |
| 8 | Matt Beleskey | Don’t overrate – only good for 65 games. Keep that in mind (BOS) |
| 9 | Justin Williams | He is what he is: 45-point player, and playoff stud (WSH) |
| 10 | Chris Stewart | Boom or bust – we’ve seen him thrive on some teams, bomb on others |
| 11 | Antoine Vermette | Best-case scenario is a 50-point second-line center on a weak team (ARI) |
| 12 | Cody Hodgson | Desperately needs star linemates to prop him up/revive career (NSH) |
| 13 | Stephen Weiss | An injury derailed a hot streak last season that saw 10 points in 9 games |
| 14 | Michal Neuvirth | Probably won’t get a starting job anywhere, but perhaps as a 1B? (PHI) |
| 15 | Eric Fehr | Now we’re down to the possible 40-point forwards on the list |
| 16 | Jiri Tlusty | Barring a Crosby linemate, shouldn’t garner fantasy interest |
| 17 | Jhonas Enroth | See Neuvirth, Michal (LA) |
| 18 | Andrej Sekera | Defensive specialist can produce if put in that role. Watch where he goes (EDM) |
| 19 | Brad Richards | Can he eke out one last 40-point season? (DET) |
| 20 | Shawn Matthias | 18 goals last year, entering prime. Could get 25-20-45 on right team |
| 21 | Curtis Glencross | He is what he is – on any team |
| 22 | Mike Santorelli | We’ve seen him be a good fantasy player on some teams. Bust on others |
| 23 | PA Parenteau | Proven that he can be a stud with Tavares or Duchene on his line. That’s it. (TOR) |
| 24 | Lee Stempniak | As with most on this list, is dependent on linemates for fantasy value |
| 25 | Rich Peverley | Pursuing a return. Not yet cleared to play. But shone on Seguin-Benn line |
| 26 | Michael Ryder | I don’t hold much faith that there’s another 20-goal season in him |
| 27 | Steve Downie | Flashes of fantasy value last season in certain situations (ARI) |
| 28 | Blake Comeau | Thrived with Malkin before injury. Let’s hope he re-signs (COL) |
| 29 | Tomas Fleischmann | Career as a scorer probably over, but you never know |
| 30 | Matt Donovan | Never given the opportunity with the Isles. Long shot (BUF) |
| 31 | Martin Erat | See Fleischmann, Tomas |
| 32 | Mark Barberio | As with Donovan, was never given huge offensive role with former team (MTL) |
| 33 | Patrick Eaves | Thrived with Seguin, but is King Band-Aid.Re-signed (DAL) |
| 34 | Viktor Fasth | Injuries coupled with inconsistency drilled his value down to nothingness |
| 35 | Mark Arcobello | Teams don’t seem to want to give him a chance, despite production (TOR) |

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.
