Wednesday's Daily Dosage - Clarkson, Bryzgalov, Nolan...
What a run for David Clarkson as he scored the only goal of the game last night (PPG) on six shots to extend his point streak to five games where he's recorded 5+3=8. That's 21 goals for him now (ranks top 20 in the league) after averaging 12 over the past four seasons. Fantastic multi-cat seasons from the tough-guy.
Minny dman Nate Prosser with his first NHL goal and fight last night (along with four blocks). He's been seeing a decent amount of minutes in all situations lately, so keep an eye on him.
Your nightly shutouts went to Tomas Vokoun (42 saves), Evgeni Nabokov (45), Martin Brodeur (30) and Ilya Bryzgalov (18) although Bryz actually took the SOL. Since 24/7 ended, he is much better at 5-3-3, 2.29 & .921 in 12 games.
Owen Nolan hung 'em up for good yesterday and as we do at FHS when a star retires lets shine a light on his greatest fantasy season... for that we take you all the way back to the 1999/00 season where OwNo had 44+40=84, 110 PIMs & 261 shots for San Jose. Even though I never really liked the guy, I wouldn't kick someone with those numbers off my fantasy team.
A goal, plus-2 & five shots for Mike Fisher to give him 8+1=9 over his last eight games.
Since November Anze Kopitar only has two multi-point games so he hasn't been flashy about it but he has still managed to put up 6+5=11 over his last 12 games. His wingman, Justin Williams, has points in 11 of 12 (4+9=13).
Ryan Kesler has points in six straight (5+1=6 & 23 shots) as he tries to recover from a disappointing start to get back to the 70 point level that he's topped the past two seasons.
Peter Mueller returned after sitting out a game due to the flu and he found the back of the net to give himself 5+1=6 over his last seven games.
Three straight 2A games for Ray Whitney and 2+8=10 & plus-7 during a six game point streak. Liney Radim Vrbata had two points as well and has a five game point streak of his own (3+4=7).
Four-year extension for Frans Nielsen... don't do the same in a fantasy league.
The Oilers have called Magnus Paajarvi up to help fill-in for the loss of Nugent-Hopkins.

Kopitar or Kessel
I have Kopitar and a huge Kings fan has Kessel, but has indicated that he would like to move him. If possible, should I go for a straight trade? It is a keeper league with standard cats.
Even though Kessel should slow down, I’d rather have him over Kopitar… mostly due to the team, Darryl Sutter, linemates & shots.

Ilya Kovalchuk the window is closing though.
If you can get him to add him, then do so

I’d be shocked if he’ll give up both Kessel and Kovy in one trade.
Maybe if I went Kopitar and Couture for it I’d have a shot.
I have no problem endorsing this move if you can pull it off

I’d offer it straight up… no reason to cloud the issue.

I like it. They are pretty close in value but I’d rather have a W than a C.

that is kind of general, in a keeper would you really prefer Kessel to Kopitar
this is a down year for Kopitar still could make it top 20-30
best year of his life for Kessel
I think Kessel is gonna be fine, but Kopitar will be steadier year to year.
and if your league counts hits, that does much to make up the SOG difference
It’s a tough call for me, so I would still try to get something more in return.
I would rather have Kovalchuk than Kessel though to start with so you know where I am at.

The offer is sent
I offered Kopitar for Kessle straight up, and await a reply. I’ll let you know what happens.
(And if he declines, I will feel out for Kovy, but I doubt that is available)
I haven’t looked at if there has been more this year than normal but it certainly feels like it.

Yep. Esp. since the ASG break.
Seems like refs have swallowed whistles 2 months early.
PPs are down, and so scoring is down, and SOs are up.
