The new assignment on the Shuffle Up clipboard is the forwards, the men who drive so much of the fantasy equation. We're looking at the basic Yahoo! scoring categories here (goals, assists, power-play points, shots on goal, plus-minus, penalty minutes) and we're trying to project how they'll play out from this point forward. Position flexibility and scarcity also counts a small amount; in theory, it's a tie-breaker between similar commodities.

What's happened to this point is merely an audition; this list is not intended to merely stand as a list of stat leaders. In every Shuffle Up, some will find the list too reactive while others will feel it's not reactive enough. Everyone has a different perspective, and I welcome

You're going to need plenty of offensive firepower to win your fake hockey league this year. Here's a list of 112 forwards to get you started.

Normal Shuffle Up rules apply. I reserve the right to tweak this list as the day goes along; bring your best debates to the comments. Win the discussion, win the rank. And it's all good if you have a lot of disagreement on the list - that's what makes the game so enjoyable. If everyone had the same general ranks, what fun is that?

Categories considered in this exercise: goals, assists, plus-minus, power-play points, shots on goal, penalty minutes. And implicit in any ranking is an eye towards playing time, durability, upside and downside. One additional

NHL Stanley Cup Observations -- Game Five

Just a few things that caught my eye ...

• Trick or treat -- Jonathan Quick is spooked! He's spent the last two games deep in his net instead of playing with the blue paint behind him. And he's off-angle and out-of-shape far too often. He needs to get his head back in the game ... and his butt away from the goal line.

• Who's your daddy? Mike Richards found out when Zach Parise popped him into the player's bench on the PP. Parise just wanted it more.

The Stanley Cup playoffs are finally here, so let's break down the first round of the Eastern Conference.

 

New York Rangers (1) vs. Ottawa Senators (8)

A week ago I was predicting that the Washington Capitals would upset the No. 1 seed New York Rangers as I felt the Capitals were starting to put it all back together. Well, that was a week ago, and it’s the Senators who fell to the eighth spot, and I am no longer predicting an upset here.

The Rangers are extremely well-coached by John Tortorella, who knows what it takes to win. New York added Brad Richards this year as they were desperately searching for that No. 1 center to play with Marian
