1. Too hard to tell exactly where they will end up until we see a few games because of injuries to some key guys, but I imagine they will be in the mix amongst playoff teams.
2. March & McAvoy are out until DEC so that hurts the pp, but I imagine it will be a combination of JD or Zacha net front, Bergy the bumper, Pasta & Krech or Hall the flanks, Lindholm, Zboril or Reilly the point man. The 2nd unit Coyle or Smith net front, Coyle or Smith the bumper, Krech or Hall & JD or Zacha flanks, Lindholm, Zboril or Reilly point. When Gryz returns from injury he will be in the mix too.
3. If you want a really good value pick for someone who I imagine will be pretty low in most fantasy drafts, it's Krech. Coming back from the Czech league and being in his mid 30s scares off most people, but he's going to be between Hall & Pasta. I expect him to be very productive with those 2. A purely breakout candidate is Zacha or JD. Playing with Bergy certainly helps with that.
4. DO NOT PICK FOLIGNO. I also imagine guys like Nosek, Freddy, Steen, Carlo, Forbort, Reilly, Gryz, Cliffy will have relatively low point production. Wags also likely to be in the AHL so don't pick him.
5. Both goalies will play 41/41, unless injuries happen of course.
