导出博客文章The Colorado Avalanche have no shortage of viable fantasy forwards. Alex Bregman Astros Jersey . The question is how many minutes will be available to them and can any of their defence or goaltending provide value? Top Picks: Following a down year in 2011-2012, Matt Duchene rebounded with his highest points-per-game (0.91) of his career, playing a career-high 20:55 per game. Among all the skilled young forwards in Colorado, hes the best bet to lead the scoring race in 2013-2014. Colorados 20-year-old captain, Gabriel Landeskog, wasnt as productive in his second season, but his peripheral numbers (shots on goal and hits) alone make him a quality No. 2 left wing option. If he would score on more than 8.2% of his shots on goal (his career rate), then his offensive totals could take off. Value Plays: PA Parenteau proved last season that hes more than just a product of playing on John Tavares wing. The late bloomer has 163 points in three seasons since becoming a full-time NHLer. Thats good enough for 31st in the league in scoring over that time. If not for a run of minus ratings, hed be even more valuable than a No. 3 RW, though hes a high-end option in that respect if your league rewards penalty minutes. A three-time 70-point scorer, Paul Stastnys points per game has steadily declined, to a career-low 0.60 points per game last season, so even though he plays 19 minutes per game, hes being used in more of a two-way role. So keep offensive expectations in check. After a protracted contract negotiation last season, Ryan OReilly still finished with a career-best 0.69 points per game and hes going to shift to left wing this season to make room for Nathan MacKinnon at centre. That move could put OReilly in a more offensive position, allowing him to continue increasing his scoring output. 33-year-old Alex Tanguay returns to Colorado and hes no longer the point-per-game threat that he was when he left as a much younger man, but hes a skilled two-way player who can score enough to have value in deep leagues. LW Jamie McGinn has 19 goals and 35 points in 64 games since arriving in Colorado, and he plays a physical game, so his hit totals help too, but hes likely starting the year on the third line. Even if its a good third line, that could limit his offensive upside enough to keep him a waiver wire candidate in anything but the deepest leagues. Sleepers/Breakthrough: Surely the Avalanche had higher hopes for Semyon Varlamov than the .909 save percentage hes provided in 88 games over two seasons, but he still has appeal because hes the starting goaltender for a team that has some potential to be competitive. The story of the Avalanche defence is that they dont provide much offence, so any options on the blueline are going to be speculative plays. Tyson Barrie might be the best choice, as hes put up 13 points in 42 NHL games as well as 61 points in 87 AHL games in two pro seasons. In a full season, he could put up 30-plus. An agitator who is skilled enough to contribute offensively, Steve Downie played just two games before suffering a torn ACL last season and he may not be ready for the start of the 2013-2014 season, but for leagues that count penalty minutes, hes a rare commodity -- one of three players since 2009-2010 to score at least 45 goals while accumulating at least 500 penalty minutes. Rookies: Its not like the Colorado Avalanche needed to improve at centre, but when they deemed Nathan MacKinnon to be the best prospect in the 2013 Draft, he was their pick at No. 1 and is set to open the season as the No. 3 centre. There seems little doubt that MacKinnon is ready to play in the NHL, but how much ice time he receives, with Duchene and Stastny ahead of him on the depth chart, could have a limiting effect on his overall production. As an upside play, though, hes worth a try as a low-end No. 3 or good No. 4 centre for fantasy owners.

Left-handed reliever Boone Logan agreed to a $16.5 million, three-year contract on Friday, a person familiar with the negotiations told The Associated Press. J.R. Richard Jersey .com) - Markus Granlund scored the game-winning goal as the Calgary Flames used an early offensive flurry to defeat the Los Angeles Kings, 2-1, on Monday.Dolphins offensive lineman Richie Incognito lashed out at teammate Jonathan Martin on Twitter Wednesday, saying "The truth is going to bury you and your entire camp. You could have told the truth the entire time." Incognito also wrote Martin told him he thought about committing suicide because he wasnt playing well. "FACT: Jonathan Martin told me he thought about taking his own life in MAY 2013 b/c he wasnt playing well. Told me he felt worthless," Incognito said on Twitter. Incognitos series of tweets directed at Martin and his representatives come as the NFL is preparing to release a report on the Dolphins bullying case which could help clarify their much-publicized relationship. Martin previously said he was harassed daily by Incognito and other teammates. He alleged their racial, aggressive and sexually charged comments played a role in his departure from the team on Oct. 28. Incognito recently finished serving a three-month suspension but isnt expected to return to Miami. He took aim at Martins agent Kenneth Zuckerman from Priority Sports, on Wednesday, accusing him of releasing information to the media. "What do you have to say for your actions? Why did you release the VM. What was your goal?" Incognito wrote on Twitter. Zuckerman said in a brief telephone interview with The Associated Press that he didnt want to respond to Incognitos comments, except to say, "The only thing I would say is Ill let Jason La Canforas tweet speak for itself. Francisco Liriano Jersey. quot; After Incognitos Twitter rant, La Canfora, who works for CBS Sports and broke the story on the text messages exchanged between the teammates, said on Twitter that Zuckerman "had nothing to do with my reporting." Zuckerman declined to answer other questions about the case. Incognito also wrote on Twitter: "the truth will set me free. I cant say the same about Jon Martin. The truth is what hes hiding from." Incognitos final tweet referred all questions to his attorney Mark Schamel, who did not return phone calls to the AP. Martin abruptly left the Dolphins last October and was hospitalized. He underwent counselling for emotional issues. Incognito was suspended Nov. 3, causing him to miss his final eight games. The NFL report, which is headed up by Ted Wells, is expected to be released and could help shed some light on what role Dolphins coach Joe Philbin and his staff, as well as the front office, had in the case. The concern is whether or not Incognito was ordered to toughen up Martin, who struggled after earning a starting job in 2012 as a rookie.
