GMG’s Introduction – September 2012 Edition<br />
The highly anticipated PDF has finally arrived – welcome to Volume 3.0! What better way to kick it off by<br />
including work from 28 well respected members of the DobberHockey community for a combined tally<br />
of 35-plus articles. This is by far the biggest collaboration to be featured in the <strong>Roto</strong> PDF <strong>Exclusive</strong>.<br />
Bottom line, if there is to be a lockout, might as well go out in style.<br />
As noted in the updated roto legend <strong>and</strong> Top 100 disclaimer, the goal of this list is to push poolies to<br />
realize the current Trade Value (TV) <strong>and</strong> Potential <strong>Roto</strong> Value (PRV) of the Top <strong>Roto</strong> Keepers in leagues<br />
that feature your st<strong>and</strong>ard six categories (goals, assists, power play points, plus/minus, shots on goal,<br />
penalty minutes) as well as the extended categories of hits <strong>and</strong> blocked shots. To accomplish that goal,<br />
the following changes have been made to the Top 100:<br />
Removed: colored tiers under roto focus, current roto score <strong>and</strong> potential roto score tabs (CRS / PRS).<br />
Added: numbered system under roto focus, trade value <strong>and</strong> potential roto value grading tabs (TV / PRV).<br />
Updated: legend <strong>and</strong> disclaimer / additional information. Second month column & the Black Aces’ page.<br />
Also added are two additional Top 25 combo ranks (this month: G/SOG <strong>and</strong> Hits/Blocked Shots) along<br />
with player breakdowns for highlighted performers <strong>and</strong> do not forget to check out the closing remarks.<br />
Big congratulations to the newest batch of graduates from the Black Aces program. Joining the<br />
DobberHockey crew for the 2012-13 season are Eric Daoust (Capped), Mac Vincent (Frozen Forensics)<br />
<strong>and</strong> Br<strong>and</strong>on L<strong>and</strong>ry (IR report). All the while, Michael Amato slides into his new Wild West role, Russ<br />
Miller returns to his Eastern Edge roots, <strong>and</strong> Brad Wilson begins his journey as the new Dobber Nation<br />
