Alot of hatred towards Ghost. Is he being viewed as a Band-Aid? ^ ^
Curious about your wording. He’s 27th in the world yet has played just 30 games. If you owned any defenseman in the Top 26 would you trade him straight up for Ghost? Don’t forget, I was pumping his tires in the preseason and insisted early that my readers scoop him up early. He is what readers would call ‘a Dobber Darling’
Personally I’d take Ghost over Rielly, Pietrangelo and Suter, but that’s just me. So he’s top 25 but I just enjoy nitpicking otherwise can’t find many faults with the rankings. Keep it up, this why I visit the site daily and have started to become active on the forums.
Thanks Matt! I own ghost and truth be told I would not trade him for any of those three also. BUT, we have to put ourselves in the shoes of the other owner. If you own Alex Pietrangelo in a keeper league – Alex Pietrangelo. Ryan Suter. Or Morgan Rielly. You probably don’t trade them for the little-proven Ghost either. It’s tough to capture that in a ranking
Is there someone missing between Wideman and Pouliot?
Ryan Murray? I haven’t watched a ton of CBJ games and this isn’t much but I would take him in my keeper league for sure.
He’s 113th. More of a two-way guy with limited offensive ceiling and extreme injury-prone issues
Surprised not to see Trevor Daley at all
He’s 128th
I’m wondering where Mark Streit fits on this list. Don’t see him on the Top 300 list either.
He’s 129th. The thing with Streit is that I don’t see him doing much in the next two months and I don’t see him doing much in future seasons…at this point he’s not worth much…
Thank you – I was thinking the same. Looks like he has lost most of his opportunities to Ghost.
#53 is missing?
just curious why giordano is so high? Hes getting pretty old
Probably because of his 29 points in his last 33 games. And 32 is not old
Wow did not realize he has scored 29 points in 33 games. Hes definitely in the territory where guys start to fall off due to age. Something to keep in mind for keeper leagues
Werent you just posting something the other day about selling high on Kopitar because hes aging?? Kopitar is not even 30
