no love for nash???

So if he gets 78 points...I'd only be off by six. Not bad!

I think your prediction for Nash is good. The only thing I question is if Huselius gets more then him. But I think they'll be close so it could happen but my money is on Nash.

I think 72 is a little low but by no means unreasonable...I say he breaks 40 goals easy, lets say:

44-36-80

Human nature my man! People will talk about what they don't agree with or they don't understand, long before the stuff they do agree with and do understand. Be thankful they are talking about it - beats silence when you are trying to get the word out.

Having you whining about a little more love for your guide is annoying. I could give a red rats ass if you ever sold another guide, I have mine and I would be just as happy if it was the only copy in existence. Like you want me to walk around with a signboard that says "You must get this fantasy guide that is packed full to the nuts with solid, detailed information by a team of contributors that has a ton of experience putting this kind of information together." Screw that nonsense - since I started buying your guides I have made a 450% financial return on my league entry fees - Oh, could I tell people in my leagues how that happened! I think not!

Do I want them to put Conboy on their watch list in case he cracks the Canes line-up and starts racking up big PIM's - NO! I want them to know nothing until after I do a 2 for 1 upgrade deal with them because they need PIM's and I scoop him off FA.

And another thing, I have little interest in whether other people get greater joy out of fantasy hockey, because they learn and carry so much more knowledge and they can spend leisurely hours pouring over the guide. Leave them be, they are happy - who are we to interfere! Let them spend the $20 bucks a year on beer or a couple of decks of smokes, instead of buying and printing out 63 pages of paper twice a year that just ends up getting tattered from overuse or pasted to the wall behind your monitor or like that Jason guy who puts them in plastic sleeves at no small additional expense. (I am convinced he thinks they are a collector's item that will be worth big bucks some day 'Viva la Ebay'). It's really unfortunate for those folks who don't buy the guide because "what they don't know can hurt them." But I am not opposed to handing out a little fantasy hockey pain . . . (okay, okay I actually enjoy it). So give it a rest with this glorifying the fantasy guide stuff - let me have my fun.

Dobber, I have made my peace with the idea that I should show some respect for you by not running an anti-fantasy guide purchase campaign. So how about meeting me half way and lay off the requests to, as you put it, "show a little love for the guide." Gawd, the mere idea of that makes the bile rise in my throat.

Here are my CBJ predictions for their top two:

Huselius: 27, 50, 77
Nash: 46, 31, 77

I think Brassard will be playing with them by the end of the year.

Huselius is smack dab in the middle of his prime. Nash's best years will begin in 2011. In Nash's best years, Huselius' best years won't even touch him. But right now, it's still a man vs. a boy.

I think Dobbs prediction is a bit conservative, but reasonable. What I have trouble with, however, is some of the guys ahead of Nash on the top 300 list. I just don't see guys like Radulov, Hemsky, Savard, or either of the Sedin brothers out scoring Nash in any fantasy league this season.

That being said, in one month I'll have to choose between keeping Nash or Kane. I'm pretty torn over this one. What do you guys think?

Its a tough call...

In a multi-cat league, or one that's weighted towards goals, I'd probably lean towards keeping Nash.

If it's a points-only league, I think you could flip a coin, but I'd probably lean towards keeping Kane. Tough call indeed...

Why not start a thread about it?

Kane by far... He scored more points last year as an 18 year old than Nash ever has.
