Player Profiles
Moving up : Zdeno Chara, Dion Phaneuf and Gabriel Landeskog
Moving down (& out) : Jordan Eberle, Matt Duchene, Shane Doan
Zdeno Chara, D – BOS
Seems strange to profile Chara as if he needs it, but this is simply a
reminder to keep things in check. Sexy names like Karlsson, Subban,
Pietrangelo and Weber may sway draft selections away from Chara.
Let them. Know that Chara remains the blue line king when it comes
to rotisserie leagues. In addition to his back-to-back plus-33 markers,
“Z” will reach into all categories and put up respectable production.
If you want to win, Chara is a major asset to own.

Dion Phaneuf, D – TOR
List your top five roto defensemen. Does it include Dion Phaneuf?
It should. Fact is, any player that puts up 200 hits, 200 SOG, 120
blocked shots and 90 PIMs, deserves to be recognized. Phaneuf
easily fits that bill and his point production is an added bonus. Draft
appropriately, and Dion could be a big part to your team’s success.

Gabriel Landeskog, LW – COL
In case you were sleeping last season, the Calder Cup winner has
quickly emerged as a fully loaded weapon in extended roto leagues.
After smashing home 219 hits, 270 SOG and a plus-20, his 52 points
and 51 PIM complete the full serving. Colorado’s newest captain is a
fantastic rotisserie recipe, and poolies should definitely want to dip
into a second helping. This kid is a stud and will end up sitting among
roto’s best heart and soul players ala Backes, Callahan, Lucic and
Brown. If he can keep his plus/minus high, slap on the monster label.
