Fantasy Analysis
Alexander Semin's agent was quick to not close the door on the Caps but he questioned the significance of Semin's role with the Caps in 2011-2012. Alex was often left on the bench in high pressure situations and the 28-year old appears to want to find a team that values his skills more. (Updated 05/15/2012).
Semin was re-signed to a one-year deal and also has been in the news of trade talks. It does not seem like the 27-year-old will be headed anywhere, however, and for fantasy players this is good news. He has been one of the most productive players over the past few years, but has not performed all that well when the money is on the line for postseason poolies. He seems to always miss some time due to injury, so when looking into his services keep that in mind. As this season approaches look for him to rebound as he sorts out the bumps from last season, as he posted his third lowest point total since coming into the league. You can expect about 70 points, 60 PIMs, 20 power-play points, and 200-plus shots. (Updated 10/4/11)
