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) |
