Is anyone buying into Tuukka Rask this season?

I currently have him ranked as the 15th goalie. You can bash me in the comments, it's cool. If everyone agreed, it wouldn't be a very fun game, would it?

On paper, the Boston Bruins look awful, especially on the blue line and offensively. Yet, for some reason, Rask will likely be confused with an elite fantasy goalie.

He won't be.

Fantasy sports are all about looking ahead, and Rask has regressed in three consecutive seasons. Now, he'll start behind the worst Bruins team in a long time.

Seriously, look at their defense corps.

Here are the rankings for Rask: Third at CBS, sixth at Yahoo and 13th at ESPN.

Dobber placed Rask in Tier 2, in the above linked article. What he added was the goalies in the second tier have the upside to climb into the top tier, but they have the floor to drop a tier.

On the heels of his career-worst season and starting behind the worst group of skaters in his career, it would be foolish to count on Rask returning to top-tier billing.

And this is in no way a talent assessment. It is entirely about his supporting cast.

Look for beat writers to begin preparing team previews over the next few weeks, and some have already started.

Ken Wiebe took a peek at what the Winnipeg Jets might look like on opening day.

There aren't a lot of surprises, as Winnipeg didn't do much this offseason. They didn't really need to.

What did stick out, was his suggestion that Drew Stafford will likely join Bryan Little and Andrew Ladd, while Mathieu Perreault and Blake Wheeler would flank Mark Scheifele to comprise the two top lines.

The belief is Nikolaj Ehlers will begin lower on the depth chart to shelter his minutes. It is a real-world take, and one which should help put our expectations for Ehlers in a better context.

There are no easy games in the Western Conference, outside of cakewalks against the Arizona Coyotes, and Winnipeg is in a position to have an excellent season. There is no reason to rush Ehlers, and limiting his tough minutes to ease him into the season makes sense.

We all love the idea of Ehlers grabbing a top-six role immediately, but Stafford is more than capable, and going straight from the QMJHL to the show is rare. A return similar to Jonathan Drouin's rookie season might be a best-case scenario for Ehlers.

Temper your expectations with Ehlers initially. He'll likely be overvalued this fall and dropped at some point before the New Year. A speculative grab for a strong second half could pay off, though.

It is just extremely difficult to count on week-in, week-out production from a rookie, especially when they'll likely be on the outside of a top-six role looking in.

Paul Maurice doesn't care about our fantasy teams.

This also serves as an endorsement to crank Stafford up a tier or two in your rankings likely. I've currently got him pegged as my 39th right winger, when I sit down to re-crunch, sliding Stafford up a few pegs might be in order.

He presents the perfect example of targeting a floor instead of a ceiling. I'm all for shooting for the stars and targeting upside late. However, if your first two right wingers are Mark Stone and David Pastrnak, making Stafford a late-round selection is a low-risk move.

In fact, I just slide him ahead of similar low-upside, decent-floor right wingers Justin Williams and Loui Eriksson. You can put Ryan Callahan and Troy Brouwer into this boring-veteran tier, too.

Jeremy Rutherford discussed a pair of depth players for the St. Louis Blues Monday.

Dmitrij Jaskin has a shot at a top-six role, as Rutherford posits the potential for a David Backes-centered checking line with Patrik Berglund and Troy Brouwer flanking the captain.

Utilizing such a checking line would present an opportunity for Jaskin to receive a scoring role. Still, casting the team captain in a clear defensive role is easier for a beat writer to suggest in August than it actually is for a head coach to implement a month into the season.

Backes is 100 percent off my fantasy radar this season, and he has been a key cog to a number of my best fantasy teams over the past few seasons. There comes a time, though.

The biggest beneficiary of Backes shifting down the depth chart wouldn't be Jaskin, either. It would be Paul Stastny. Stastny with Alexander Steen or Vladimir Tarasenko by his side would elevate the pivot's upside significantly.

Under utilized in Year 1, Stastny should present sneaky upside this fall in drafts. The Blues rarely deployed him with the right weapons last season, as his most frequent linemates were Berglund and Jaskin.

Stastny is currently ranked as the 105th skater at ESPN, No. 201 overall at Yahoo and the 40th center at CBS. I apologize for the random presentation of Stastny's consensus ranking, but we have to deal with what we're given. He currently stands outside my top-150 rankings, as my 46th-ranked center.

Jori Lehtera's health is a big part of the equation, too. Still, it would be shocking to see Stastny cast outside the top-two lines consistently this season. Even with his most-frequent linemates being a hindrance to his offense, Stastny scored 46 points last season.

With adequate wingers, 20 goals and 55 points are Stastny's floor, so draft accordingly.

The second player Rutherford discussed was defenseman Petteri Lindbohm who Rutherford expects to replace Barret Jackman. Lindbohm shouldn't be counted on to tip the scales in fantasy leagues, unless you're throwing down with 29 other teams.

However, what is important, in terms of Lindbohm, is he shouldn't bring down the club in any way. He has been brought along somewhat slowly, and had a successful season for the Chicago Wolves in the American Hockey League and a cup of coffee with the Blues after a two seasons in the SM-liiga.

While it likely won't be viewed as an immediate upgrade from Jackman, it won't be the opposite, either. Similar to Jackman, Lindbohm will chip in a few penalty minutes, and his surroundings might help him in the plus/minus department, too. So, while you're not going to be rostering Lindbohm in the majority of leagues, he could turn out to be a solid play in daily games.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Devin Setoguchi to a professional tryout, and Setoguchi will have a shot to crack the club during training camp.

It is unlikely to return a big splash, both in the real and fake game, but considering David Booth and Mason Raymond have been able to flash fantasy value with Toronto, it isn't out of the question to think Setoguchi could push the needle slightly.

Don't draft him, though, well unless your club in a 30-team league is really in a desperate spot. Although, I guess it all could change if Setoguchi landed on a line with James van Riemsdyk or Nazem Kadri.

It is another no-risk transaction from Toronto with the potential to take an afterthought and turn him into an asset or draft pick.
