Would these rankings change in a points + hits & blocks league? Would any be like a Ristolainen or Gudas?
There may be concerns about Kyle Wood’s skating but ARZ roster right now is in great need of a R shot Dman (lost DeAngelo&Murphy&Stone and only replaced by Clendening). Chayka has also been talking up Wood a bit in the press…my darkhorse deep sleeper at D for keeper leagues this year.
I’m in a jam… I am in a 20 team keeper cap league…and have been in for the past 15 years… in the past, I’ve picked almost exculsively from Dobber’s lists, and for the most part, have been fairly successful…
Each team has 23 players (2g,8d,13f) who all count against the cap, and we have a 10 player farm team, regardless of position…
Here is my ”jam”… all of the propect ”d” on this list have been drafted!
what would you suggest as a pick for a ”d”?…
was thinking of picking up Hawk’s prospect Snuggerud… what is your take on his timeline to the show and fantasy impact?
Have a look at Travis Dermott or Andrew Nielsen, Toronto. Good chance Dermott makes Leafs this year.
When are the August rankings coming out?
I wish soon, since it is september now
