Well, that "60-70" points I mentioned just got cut by about 10-20. Stamkos looks like he broke his leg. That's a massive source of Killorn's points gone for a significant amount of time.

What are your thoughts on Kucherov? What are his chances of sticking with the team this year? I just picked him up in a deep fantasy keeper league.

If he keeps playing like he is now he has a chance. If Stamkos comes back we may move him back to Syracuse. However he looks real dangerous out there right now. Makes plays and can shoot the puck. Something we desperately need with Stamkos out now. Also has helped out on D too.
I don't know about that. Like you said, it's not like Kucherov is showing significant defensive holes that would give us a reason to send him back. He was probably our second best player last night, and there were points where he took over the game. If he keeps that up, and I realize that's a big if, it would make the team worse to send him back regardless of Stamkos's status.
Agreed. I was shocked seeing how hard he was backchecking and working to get the puck turned the other way. As of right now I don't know if that's because he is working hard to stay up or if that's going to be his consistent effort at this level. Either way, it shows what he's capable of as a rookie who could still stand to put on weight. That means he can get even better. If this kid continues to progress, he will be a dominant player in this league for a while.
I don't see how we can send him down even once Stamkos comes back, he wouldn't deserve it unless he shows a severe decline in his game. Besides, it's never a bad thing to have a trigger man on every line.

That's where I'm at. Having a "B" shot to Stamkos's "A" shot turns things into a pick your poison situation. If we go 91/26 and then 51/56 -- who does Zdeno Chara cover? (It occurs to me that "everybody" is an acceptable response.
)

I have him [Gudas] in my pool.
I'm allowed one trade december 1st and one trade february first.
Would you trade him and pick him back on february? or is he expected to make a miracle comeback? thanks!!

Hey guys, I'm dropping by with a hockey pool question. I'm trying to replace Dupuis as I can do so for any forward with 20 or less points. Of the players available, there are quite a few young guys that are the best choices for that range, Chaisson, Nichushkin, Perrault, Anisimov, Schenn, Read, Gallagher, and of course Purcell and TJ. I see that TJ is playing on the top line and I'm wondering if that's a consistent thing and if putting my money on TJ will pay off?
Perhaps more telling, with all those guys in the same 18-20 points range, would you take one of the non-TBL players over your two guys?

I would pick up TJ if I could. I would also definitely pick up Nichushkin. I think the difference is that TJ is playing big minutes on the first line where it seems Nichushkin is still playing lower minutes. Not sure what your league stats are but TJ also picks up a lot of shots. He won't be getting many hits/PIMs though.

Thank you sir 
Can I get one more person to vouch for the safeness of picking up TJ?
It's only points in my pool. It's a different kinda pool
There are some guys getting lower minutes but are all in the line up for certain day in and day out. Pardon my ignorance over TJ but obviously he's not as well known as some of the other names available so I'm not sure if he's being thrown into a role as a try out or if it he's a solid NHLer.

He isn't moving off the first line until Stamkos gets back.

As of now Johnson. Purcell can be a 60 point scorer but is slumping pretty bad right now. Johnson is playing with St. Louis so the points will come.

Plz stop pucks
Either one is a decent choice, i'd be worried about TJ falling off once the lineup fills back out and his minutes get cut.

Hey guys, not sure where to post this so I'll just chuck it here.
I'm currently in a league for GM Connected on NHL14 (PS3) and we are looking for a few more GMs. Where almost at 30 active GMs, so it's always pretty interesting with trades and other stuff going on. If you want to know more just PM me.
Also, the Lightning are still available (EA took away Drouin for some reason).

Guys, who do you think gets more points the rest of the way? Johnson or Filppula?
I see Johnson is playing with Stamkos on the 1st line but he is on the 2nd PP unit. He also does some PK time.
Filppula is on the 2nd line with Palat and Callahan (who I also own) and he plays on the 1st PP unit with Stamkos.
I am going into my playoffs and the roster freeze to tonight, looking to drop Turris for either guy. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Who starts in goal Sunday?
Hey Lightning fans. I'm struggling in my fantasy playoff week and I need to pick up a goalie that will play a game Sunday. Will Lindback play on Sunday or does Ben play on the second nights of back to backs? Thanks in advance!

If Ben play good to acceptable today odds are good he will play.
If Ben play atrocious, Lindback has a chance at at.

What times the game? If it's a night game there's a chance Bishop plays that one as well. If early they'll go Lindback.
We're pretty much a lock for a place off spot right now. It would require multiple teams to catch up to us to knock us out, at least one of which would have to be an Atlantic team. I'd love home ice advantage in the playoffs, but I don't think that's nearly as important as a fresh Ben Bishop in the playoffs, so I'm hoping we see a little more Lindback down the stretch.
What to expect from T.Johnson when J.Drouin gets in lineup?
Johnson may get the center of kucherov and brown in 2014-2015 on the third line. Having now Drouin on the first power play with Stamkos, do you think Johnson will do as good as last season.
I have Johnson and Palat in my pool and I have to choose if I keep them. Tx!
