Jeremy and Shams are here to break down all the new injuries and update timelines as well.

Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – Permission To Cut
Jeremy and Shams cover the usual headlines and injuries but get your permission slips out as the second half of the show they cover a litany of suggested players from the Patreon community to give their input on whether it’s ok to cut that big name player off your fantasy team.
Where do you put Ryan Murray from CBJ?
Ryan Murphy rank?
How come Hanifin barely makes the list while from Beaulieu at 53 down thru Nesterov at 81, there are about a dozen other older prospects/rookies he has outplayed as an 18-year old?
In the lower 50 the weight of team-influenced variable is more pronounced. It’s a weakness of my formula, sorry. But don’t overrate Hanifin – elite real hockey player, limited fantasy hockey player. I think Beaulieu has more offensive upside, for example. +/- 5.0 are considered equal value, so Nesterov isn’t above Hanifin at all (but he is an oversight who should have been adjusted downward)
That’s fine but Hanifin is a better offensive hockey player now than, say, Griffin Reinhart will likely ever be. He also looks better than Nurse, for that matter (another player who projects to be a better “real life” hockey player than a fantasy player) or Koekkoek, a player who is 3 years older and has less points in the AHL than Hanifin has in the NHL.
I definitely agree about Reinhart, and I’d rather have Hanifin than Koekkoek for sure
Where do you put Mike Green from Detroit? Again this year, 40 points!
Lots of requests for rankings of players sub top 100. Worth doing a top 150 next month?
Ha after the Top 50 I don’t really like this ranking. Player values are so close between players 51 and 150 you couldn’t slide a piece of paper between them. I’d rather reduce this to a Top 50 than grow it. Too many arguments! lol
Where does John Scott rank? ;)
