[LeanMachine]

have had several enquries on Ryan Kesler.

The price is:

younger C with poential to be future Kesler
extra piece or two of significance (get creative)

[Mike]

Andrew Shaw + Andy Greene + Josh Ho-Sang

It's cap neutral, I don't have much wiggle room.

nothing close yet. thanks for the offers. will update if anything changes

[The BBKL Insider]

was gonna withdraw mine anyways, Frans and Kesler have almost identical stats.

Keslers been doing pretty good h2h wise considering i actually thought his career was done
if he never gets injured again (cross fingers for Eric's sake) i think hes a top 20 bbkler/top 7 bbkl centre

[LeanMachine]

No knock on Nielsen. Just wasn't what I was asking for (see requirements)

[Tony]

Tierney

He was the best bbkl'er in 2010-2011 and 6th in 2009-2010. At this points his stats look like they could be close to or better than those years.

ANA is so studious lol

I was trying to acquire him. I had to do my research.

According to what metric?

[LeanMachine]

He's sitting #1 right now in Fantrax

[Mike]

Any idea what method they use to assign value to players? Is it weighted based on our cats? I haven't seen the FT one, but the old CBS rankings were godawful

[The BBKL Insider]

i'd prob rank Frans Nielson #1 myself

[Mike]

Heh he's 25 on this list.

Komarov: 37
Benn: 38

good stuff

[kimmer]

FT rankings OK... but I dont agree with all of it
IT takes in consideration of ALL SCORED categories that we use (I assume it will be different according every league's assigned scored categories) and in our particular one where FOW/SHTOI is considered, they assign equal amount of points into those combined with all other categories making up an overall best AVERAGE to determine score

The reason why Kesler is #1 right now is because he has 21 PIM 45 hits over crosby's 10 hits 10 PIM... and Giroux's 4 PIM 10 hits... not to mention they contribute nothing to SHTOI

So overall, it's going to swing back and forth between defensive centremen that put up 60+ points battling for that #1 spot on FT. Point totals seem to contribute very little from the looks of it, considering Crosby has 10 more pts than Kesler, but because of other categories, he still gets #3 but cannot be #1... i mean, it 10+ pt differential same in scoring value as 10+ PIM differential?... that's how I think Kesler gets #1 right now because MY GOD HE HAS MORE THAN 30+ hits 20+ PIM THAN CROSBY

[Matthew]

i'd prob rank Frans Nielson #1 myself

Kesler is doing better in almost every category.
