New York Islanders fantasy preview for 2018

canadian goose jacket Barzal (85 points in 82 games) was the first NHL rookie to average a point per game or better buy canada goose uk (minimum 75 games) since Evgeni Malkin in 2006 07. Barzal, 21, is New York’s No. 1 center moving forward with an array of wing options in Jordan Eberle and either canada goose outlet toronto Anders Lee or canada goose outlet edmonton Anthony Beauvillier. However with Barzal’s upside comes the risk of regression because he’ll now be the primary focus of opposing defenses. Still, Barzal has multipoint potential any given night and is fair game to draft anytime outside the fantasy top 50 overall. canadian goose jacket

cheap Canada Goose Anders Lee, LW (127) He scored the most goals (40) by an Islanders player since Jason Blake in 2006 07 and also set NHL career highs in assists (22), points (62), power play goals (14), power play points (22) and shots on goal (208). But it will be difficult for Lee and right wing Josh Bailey (71 points in 76 games) to replicate their stellar production after the departure of their trusted linemate Tavares. Lee will compete with Beauvillier for the top line left wing spot with Barzal, giving the 28 year old a chance to stay afloat in the 30 goal range. But Lee, a potential 2019 unrestricted free agent, isn’t worth reaching https://www.thecanadagooseoutlet.com for inside the top 100 because his scoring likely will decline and he’s no lock to play with Barzal at even strength. But, even with a potential step back offensively, Lee should remain valuable in hits leagues (102 last season; 1.9 per game in NHL career). cheap Canada Goose

buy canada goose jacket Jordan Eberle, RW (153) Another 28 year old potential 2019 UFA, Eberle is likely to move up to the top line with canada goose outlet sale Barzal, his frequent linemate from last season, and take Bailey’s spot. Eberle did not play on the canada goose outlet orlando first power play unit with Tavares often but still had 10 PPP and 59 points overall. He’s canada goose jacket outlet uk a five time 50 point scorer who has eclipsed 60 points twice and 70 points once, meaning he still has a higher fantasy ceiling if he remains with Barzal. One of the lone short term beneficiaries of canada goose outlet winnipeg Tavares leaving, Eberle will take on a bigger role in all situations and is a fringe top 150 overall player who could far canada goose outlet reviews exceed his average draft position. Trotz brings defensive and neutral zone expertise to the Islanders, who allowed the most goals in the NHL (293) canada goose outlet 80 off last season. Leddy had a great start (20 points in first 24 games; T 2nd among defensemen) but was held to 22 points (four goals, 18 assists) over his final 56 games and was an NHL worst minus 44 in the span. Trotz and new director of goaltending Mitch Korn should improve New York’s back end, and Leddy has had a high floor since joining the Islanders in 2014 15 (at least 37 points in each of four seasons). Leddy is a bounce back candidate who can realistically finish among the top 20 scorers at his position, giving him added value in a points only league. buy canada goose jacket

Canada Goose Parka Ryan Pulock, D (169) He had 10 goals and canada goose outlet uk 11 PPP in 68 games as a rookie, impressive totals on mostly the second unit. He canada goose outlet michigan also provided strong category coverage of SOG (184) and hits (113). Pulock has been under utilized by New York in his NHL career, playing six games in the 2016 canada goose outlet seattle Stanley Cup Playoffs but canada goose uk site one regular season game in 2016 17 before canada goose jacket outlet averaging 18:24 per game last season, when he finished 12th among defensemen in goals per 60 minutes (0.48; minimum 65 games). With a chance at first power play minutes in a fresh system, Pulock could be one of the biggest fantasy sleepers at the position. 1 (two goals in three AHL games), but was then recalled by the Islanders before latching onto the second line with Barzal and Eberle. Beauvillier scratched the surface of fantasy relevance with 36 points canada goose outlet store quebec (21 goals, 15 assists) in 71 games and can challenge Lee for top line usage. Beauvillier, 21, leads a young nucleus of forwards (Kieffer Bellows, Joshua Ho Sang, Oliver Wahlstrom) that can help the Islanders overcome the loss of Tavares in free agency. Beauvillier canada goose outlet in montreal carries late round upside, especially if he plays with Barzal canada goose outlet toronto location at even strength and/or on the first power play unit.

canada goose Robin Lehner, G (186) He has the urgency of a one year contract and a big opportunity to prove himself to Korn, who has worked with elite goalies Dominik Hasek, Pekka Rinne and Braden Holtby in the past. Even without Tavares, the Islanders should provide more goal support than the Buffalo Sabres did for Lehner over the past three seasons; he had a.916 save percentage over the span. Fantasy owners will reach a point later in drafts to begin considering components of strong tandems (Florida Panthers, Colorado Avalanche) or lower tier starters, and that’s where Lehner is worth a flier in case he finally reaches his potential under the new Islanders regime.
