No Sidney Crosby and no Evgeni Malkin, very little Bryan Rust and recent absences from Jeff Carter and Kris Letang … that’s almost every player that was on the fantasy radar aside from Jake Guentzel coming into the season.
#Nhl 17 fantasy draft how to#
192): I wish I could tell you how to evaluate this rag-tag Penguins crew that is tearing up opposing offenses. The sky is limit here.Įvan Rodrigues, C, Pittsburgh Penguins(enters ranks at No. And, wouldn’t you know it, Hyman has two goals in each of the two games since he slid into the role. The scoring lines are now looking as they were forecast coming into the season, with Hyman at McDavid’s side. 54): As expected, the Oilers didn’t leave the Connor McDavid– Leon Draisaitl overkill line intact for too long. Zach Hyman, LW, Edmonton Oilers(up 40 spots to No. But if a lot of the criteria you used to assign that potential seem to not have materialized, it’s likely time to move on. If there is still a glimmer of hope there for someone you’ve evaluated as having potential, see if you can hang on a little longer. To recap, you want to look at deployment, linemates and special teams before making your decision to toss aside a player you’ve already invested in. So, for now, it’s probably safe to dump Danault. Kaliyev has a lot of potential, but the currently injured Andreas Athanasiou and injured rookie Quinton Byfield take away some options that could have upgraded the line. It’s also not clear that his current line with rookie Arthur Kaliyev and Alex Iafallo is as dangerous as we hoped coming into the season. There was also potential for some power-play time here, given that the Kings have some fresh blood available to rethink the equation.īut, as it stands so far, Danault has barely sniffed the advantage, sitting 12th on the team in power play time. He was drafted on average in the 16th round of a 12-team league with the hopes that a move to the Los Angeles Kings and the downgrade in pressure (getting to play behind a superstar like Anze Kopitar) could help form a solid second line for the Kings with Danault at the center of it. Phillip Danault, on the other hand, is a player you can part with. With a combination of a still-sorting depth chart and obvious role on the advantage, I do believe trying to hold onto Benn for a little longer is the move. But Benn is still clearly in the mix for a scoring line role in some capacity, and he is still getting ample time on the team’s first power-play unit.
But, at the moment, the lines are being jostled quite a bit by the Dallas Stars and they’ve yet to settle on a consistent depth chart – not to mention Jason Robertson is still on the sidelines. Obviously the hope here is that a healthy Tyler Seguin could help rejuvenate Benn on the attack. So his fantasy points per 60 minutes (FPP60) is hovering around 3.80, which is well shy of fantasy relevance so far (4.50 FPP60 can be considered “in the mix” based on last season). He’s notched 7.1 fantasy points in six games while playing 18:37 per contest. Jamie Benn had an ADP of 154.8 in ESPN leagues, meaning he was selected on average in the 13th round of a 12-team league. Let’s look at two examples that I believe have different answers to the question of whether it’s OK to set them free. Create or join a league and play ESPN Fantasy Hockey! Sign up for free!
