Antropov, Nik

I will give credit where credit is due. Nik Antropov is now 30 games into the season, has 29 points, 14 goals (a hat trick Thursday) and has not missed a single game to injury. Despite the expectations of failure by many, Antropov is still kicking tail. He had a small lull in early November, and many jumped ship. Still, Antropov persisted and rebounded. Keep it up Nik. It is a feel good fantasy story for 2007-08.

Antropov had another 2 points in the Leafs loss to the Sabres Monday. He now has 9 points in 7 games. Including 24 PIMs and a plus-9, Antropov ranks at or near the top in many fantasy league rankings. The talented Mr. Glass has become impossible to ignore. Teams should at least ride him while he's hot (and healthy) and even consider selling him high.
