...here's the latest rumblings that we are hearing after only a few days.
San Jose - the new big line of Marleau-Thornton-Cheechoo we think won't be together for very long. Marleau's a better scorer and the hope from the Sharks is that his move to the wing will be able to use his speed and shot to generate offence. Marleau hasn't played on the wing since junior and this move puts alot of the Sharks offensive eggs in one basket. Coach Ron Wilson will be adversely impacting Marleau's and Michalek's stats significantly with this experiment...and not positively.
Fantasy Impact:
Marleau - negative
Thornton - positive (marginally).
Cheechoo - positive
Michalek - negative
Edmonton - with three rookies in their line-up, the Oilers are pinning their hopes on their youth movement. Gagner, Brodzniak and Cogliano are showing some chemistry early, but we still think it will be Brodzniak and Cogliano that stay for the season and Gagner likely gets sent down.
Fantasy Impact:
Cogliano - positive
Gagner - positive
Brodzniak - positive
Chicago - it took all of one game for Martin Havlat to suffer what appears to be a significant injury; this one to his shoulder. If it's a separation or dislocation he'll be gone from 2 weeks - 4 months. Watch this closely...
Fantasy Impact:
Blackhawks offense - negative
Robert Lang - negative
Sergei Samsonov - negative
