My Off-Season (Part 1 of who knows)

it is not super active, but emails are bounced back and forth.

Depends if (or when) Jokinen is dealt.

flipped Brunette for Purcell. I can grab a similar winger this off-season, and Brunette is an unknown heading into UFA.

Nice deal getting Purcell.

Have you considered moving Ribeiro to get a younger Center in the mix. I'm not sure what you think he will put up.. But with Richards now on the team it may take a load off of him, and he did do good in the playoffs.. But my thinking is maybe you can try to package him up to get a young center like Gagner.

Also on a side note.. Whats your feeling on Eller. I have him in my keeper league but i'm not sure I liked the way he developed this season.. Really would like to see him come over here instead of getting 8 to 9 minutes a game on a strong team in sweaden. So for me to keep Eller i will have to exempt him with a draft pick in order to keep him. wondering if i should try and trade him or if he is still the player everyone thought he was before the draft in 07. thanks

I see a decline for both Ribeiro and Morrow, even though Dallas is one of my favorite teams.

Thats my thinking.. I'm wondering why your not shopping them instead of the others.

I don't see Ribeiro's value in other GM's eyes being where it should (in this league), so I don't think I'd get fair value. I still see him as a 75 point guy, which is nothing to sneeze at.

Also, with Mueller probably playing wing, I'd like to have three strong centers.

Really, that surprising with the addition of Richards. Any reason why or are you just thinking out loud. I also have Morrow in my keeper league with almost all types of speciality stats and I always feel that I could never really get true value for him even though he is tremendous.

Look at his sexy stat line:
32G, 42A, +23, 105PIM, 12PPG, 28PPP, 2SHP, 7GWG, 200SOG

Anyways, I am projection something like...

35-45-80, 90-100PIM

I see Dallas becoming more balanced. They relied heavily on Morrow/Ribeiro for their entire offensive production, and now they have Richards, and up and comers as well.

I'm not talking a big tip, they may even stay the same. I just don't see the same big point jump. Morrow's offensive peak is probably 75 points.
