Fantasy Analysis
Sobotka, who might arguably be the Blues' strongest player pound-for-pound, had Dominic Moore by the neck of his jersey as the Shark lay on his back on the ice. Sobotka could have plastered him but held his arm cocked back instead ... until Moore started jawing at him. One 'pop' was all it took but Sharks' coach Todd McLellan took exception to the hit afterwards. Moore probably won't miss any time. (Updated 04/14/2012).

Mr. Moore is a perfect third-line center. He's off-the-chart smart, fast and has decent enough hands to drain a few every once in a while. His hockey IQ allows him to jump up on the wing beside guys like Steven Stamkos and Marty St. Louis, or lead the charge on the penalty kill. He's a role guy who has finally found his niche (aside from that year in Toronto, of course) and he's just the kind of player a team with Cup aspirations needs to propel them to success. His position makes him a tough add in fantasy, though -- he just doesn't deliver enough of anything in any one category to make him worthy in any but the deepest of non-positional leagues.
