Alex Semin<br />
Tale of the tape: LW, Age 28, 6’ 2”, 209lbs<br />
Alex Semin has a problem, his problem is he just doesn’t care most of the time. Semin is an all-world<br />
talent that when motivated could be one of the best players in the league, just too bad it doesn’t<br />
happen all the time. He will no doubt start the season on the top line but after a couple of bad games<br />
he will be taken off of it.<br />
Verdict: Look for a 7 million dollar 50 point season<br />
Tim Gleason<br />
Tale of the tape: D, Age 20, 6’ 0”, 217lbs<br />
Tim Gleason is very talented, too bad he uses that talent for defense instead of offense <strong>and</strong> he plays<br />
against other teams top players. Gleason doesn’t much chance to play offence as he is always<br />
playing on the penalty kill <strong>and</strong> hardly ever gets any power play time. Gleason is a forgotten member<br />
on the Hurricanes defense as all the talk is going to the youngsters.<br />
Verdict: Only relevant in deep leagues which count hits <strong>and</strong> blocked shots<br />
Jeff Skinner<br />
Tale of the tape: C, Age 20, 5’ 11”, 183lbs<br />
Jeff Skinner is a pure goal scorer <strong>and</strong> he burst on to the scene as an 18 year old winning the Calder<br />
Trophy as the rookie of the year. As crazy as it sounds many believe Skinner reached his peaked<br />
during his rookie season. Skinner missed 16 games last year with a concussion. With Jordan Staal<br />
<strong>and</strong> Alex Semin on board Skinner will play on the 2 nd line <strong>and</strong> his numbers may decline.<br />
Verdict: Look for a 35 goals <strong>and</strong> 65 points<br />
