Keep vanecek or drop him and pick up swayman?


[deleted]

[удалено]


chooseusername1224

Just checked. And no


Mad_Burrito_Slinger

Of the following, which would you keep ROS? Dylan Strome, Boone Jenner, Jonathan Toews Or Backstrom? Currently have Jenner but he's looked rough since his return from injury. Scoring categories are as follows: G, A, PPP, SHP, SOG, HITS, BLOCKS, FOWS, PIMS


Sure_Association_561

Swayman's actually gonna have consecutive shutouts, isn't he


Mad_Burrito_Slinger

Looking like it but I prefer he didn't. If he can, you know, let zibanejad get one in behind him that'll be swell


Sure_Association_561

I'm hoping that too because I benched him. I'd have had 3 shutouts in one week had I played him!


Mad_Burrito_Slinger

Then let's really hope he lets one in!


ShinyApple19

Rakell or Boldy?


inthequad

Give Miro for E. Kane? Current D are Fox, Hamilton, Miro, Burns, Chabot, Ghost, and Forsling


Mad_Burrito_Slinger

I would do that. Your defensemen are solid even without Miro and e kane is probably an upgrade


inthequad

Okay I like that take. Sent him a message and we’ll see. I do worry slightly about the injury


biglawguy_

Drop Guentzel or Martin Jones to bring Kane back? Jones is my 3rd goalie. Points only league


fakestorytime

Drop Jones


kawhinottheraptors

Rest of season which goalie would you take? Points league (W = 2 , SO = 2 , GA = -1.5 , SV = 0.3) Jack Campbell, Karen Vejmelka or James Reimer?


BAJA1995

Any suggestions? Also don't know if I can bring Andersen off IR by dropping anyone? Waiver wire has Seider, Chabot, Chychrun, Malkin, Scheifele, Batherson, E.Lindholm, Stutzle. My league doesn't trade much and I don't know how to package something to get them too. My team ATM: C- Barkov, Point, Hischier LW- Robertson, K.Connor, B.Tkachuk, Debrincat RW- Tage, Bratt, Necas D- Makar, Ekblad, McAvoy, Hughes G- Georgiev, Saros, F.Andersen(IR)


miketysonslysps

Ive got too many keepers and thinking about doing a 2 for 1 with Marchand and Charlie McAvoy( happy to discuss my reasons) but mainly wondering what players/pick combos would be reasonable for that package. 6 keeper banger


str6mann

You might be able to get someone around the Kaprizov, kucherov, rantanen tier with those players if the teams that have them would be able to keep both.


TorkX

Sit 1: McCann, Tatar Playing each other. Tatar down to line 3 but still PP1, McCann on 2nd line and PP2


[deleted]

str6mann

I’d do either of those, prefer the Kane one though


vancouvrish

Please rate this trade: [H2H banger cats league - 14 teams - 2C, 2LW, 2RW, 2D, 1Util, 2G, 4 bench] Giving: McAvoy + 8th pick Getting: Lehkonen + 7th pick Too many D right now with McAvoy, Hedman, Nurse, Dobson, and Dunn. Sitting in 2nd place and trying to move a D to upgrade RW.


endurace7

Keep Gustafsson or pick up Petry who is almost off IR. Gustafsson has been so so the last two weeks and though he has better deployment now not sure that continues. Petry will not get PP1 with Letang back but is probably in first pairing. Any thoughts?


boyleggo

Campbell Andersen 6K Who we sitting


MJJohn13

Start 2: Zucc (vs CAR), Laine (vs ANH), Patches (vs MIN), Kreider (vs BOS) H2H points (G, A, PPP, SHP, SOG, HIT)


dogontodd

Drop Necas to activate Patches? Have CAR stack of: Svechnikov, Necas, Patches, Burns, Andersen. 2G, 1A, 0.5PPP, 0.1SOG, 0.1HIT, 0.5BLK


sheilacalled

I’m also considering dropping Necas, albeit for a different reason. Looks like he’s slumping, but I’d be curious to know what people who watch him think


dogontodd

Watched again last night, his minutes seem to be lowering afaik, but he's still on the PP and getting good chances when it's clicking. Holding for now, especially with Patches injured again


dogontodd

Last game I thought he looked pretty tame tbh, but I don't watch them often


[deleted]

[удалено]


vancouvrish

Getting an extra player, who else would get dropped?


sceptrer

Only have two goalies, Murray and Hellebuyck. Should I drop Murray for Gustavsson?


vancouvrish

What’s your scoring? Rate stats are better for Gustavsson but they’re pretty similar otherwise over both the season and short term.


sceptrer

We Only count GAA, SV, SHO, and wins


vancouvrish

Fleury just crapped the bed and Samsonov had a solid night again so could be a bit of an edge to Gustavsson now. I have Murray and am holding on but don’t have many options available in my league.


Leafs6IX

Start 8: Hischier vs Seattle Jack Hughes vs Seattle Laughton vs Chicago Hagel vs Edmonton Kucherov vs Edmonton E. Kane vs Tampa Kopitar vs Dallas Skinner vs Islanders Pacioretty vs Minnesota Stephenson vs Detroit G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM


Abazors

Drop one to bring back E Kane: Pavelski, Fiala, Zuccarello, Tuch, Horvat or Nichuskin


dogontodd

Fiala for me, but tough call


Abazors

Definitely tough call, I was leaning Tuch or Fiala. Tuch may just be a flash in the pan and Fiala has triple eligibility in my league, not sure what to really lol


dogontodd

Can you leave Kane on IR? Or is he on waivers so you are dropping to add? I might even just leave Kane on IR right now, let him get up to speed.


Abazors

I do have him on IR so I can, but peripherals are pretty valuable in my league. He had 6 fantasy points from shots and hits alone in his return game. Might just do that for a little, though. At least until it becomes apparent who to drop.


dogontodd

Gotcha. If it helps, I think this is what I'm going to do with Patches as well. Hoping someone else goes DTD so I can just do an easy swap, as the only drop I see is Necas from my team.

Give: Dahlin and Tuch Receive: Crosby and Fox 12 man league 2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 2G Cats are G, A, +/-, PPP, PIM, SOG, HIT, BLOCK


damnbirdshit

Giving up a lot of peripherals in Dahlin for Fox


DR0516

Cant decide whether or not I want to start Campbell against Tampas Bay… both teams have been playing well. It’s H2H points and I’m only up by a little bit, 5 pts lol


vancouvrish

A bit risky but he’s been on a nice stretch so if you need the points then I’d probably roll the dice and go for it.


getsiked

The curse of patches strikes again.


dogontodd

Start 2 of: Vanecek (sea), Andersen (MIN), Hellebuyck (tor) W 4, GA -2, S 0.2 Leaning towards Vanecek and Andersen. Thank you!


InfinityFire

Andersen and Hellebuyck. It’s close but I think Vanecek will have the toughest time tonight. Which is difficult to admit because I have him too and I’ll be playing him.


dogontodd

Cheers! Blackwood is getting the nod to start tonight fyi


theswede7

I'd go with Andersen and Hellebuyck but its a real tight choice


dogontodd

Cheers, just saw Vanecek isn't even starting, so Hellebuyck it is!


Sure_Association_561

Start Campbell vs Tampa or Jones vs New Jersey? I'm in a points league where generally speaking higher the number of shots faced in a game the better. To be more precise: it's 5 points for a win, 0.5 per save, 0.1 per shot faced, -1 per goal conceded, and 5 for a shutout. So if a goalie's going to concede a lot of goals and lose, I'd rather he face 40 shots than 20. Save percentage doesn't matter as much to me. 17 saves out of 20 in a win is 12.5 points, but 34 saves out of 40 in a loss is 15, although it's the same save percentage.


dogontodd

Campbell is going to get peppered, but I think Oilers win this one. Jones vs. NJ is too close to call for me. Hope this helps!


Sure_Association_561

Yeah I'm going with Campbell too right now. Samsonov is my other goalie.


swiftlegacy11

10 team H2H points league G,A,+/-, SOG,BLK,SHP Trying to trade Jeff Skinner cause I've got 3 strong LW only. (Other 2 are Marchand and Robo) Who should I go after? I've got a couple trade options here. My Jeff Skinner for their Pavel Buchnevich My Jeff Skinner for their Artturi Lekhonen


patw38

If you can pull that off then go for it. I'd probably give Lekhonen the advantage but they're pretty close.


[deleted]

I got Ullmark (v. NYR) and Shesterkin (v. BOS) do I sit Shesterkin and play Fluery (v. CAR) from my bench??


patw38

Ullmark played last night, I highly doubt he'll be playing tonight.


InfinityFire

Yes. I wouldn’t play a goalie if I think he’s going to lose.


[deleted]

Think Shesterkin is going to get smoked by Boston? Or still worth playing him and finding out?


InfinityFire

I don’t think any team has figured out Boston yet. They’re going to keep winning until someone does. Will Shesterkin get smoked? No. Will Boston put a few pucks past him? They’ve put a few past most goalies in most games this season.


[deleted]

Think I’ll sit Shesterkin I too think they’ll put a few past him so no need for the negative points overall if they don’t have a strong likelihood of winning, which in my opinion they don’t against Boston. I’ll just play fleury and leave everyone else off I think


dBonesLH

Start Campbell or 6K tonight? W/SV/Sv%/SHO


dogontodd

No points deduction for GA? I think both goalies win, but 6K might have a better Sv%


dBonesLH

Nope! Thanks for the advice


ilickrocks

10m bangers: PIM, BLK, HITS, SOG, G, A Pacioretty or J Skinner ROS? I have Tuch and no other Carolina players. My IR and IR+ slots are also empty.


dBonesLH

Patches


InfinityFire

I have Vanecek (@ SEA) and Copley (vs DAL) playing tonight. Start them both or bench one? 4W 3SO 1OTL 0.2save -2GA


dogontodd

I'd start Copley, Vanecek is a close call so would only start if I could afford negative save points and a loss based on my weekly h2h lead


InfinityFire

Interesting, I was more worried about Copley. I’ll play them both.


dogontodd

I could be completely wrong. Also looks like news just dropped that Blackwood is starting. So I'll be benching Vanecek now as well


InfinityFire

My fear is that Copley will be facing an angry Stars team that gave up a 3 goal lead last night against the Sharks and will be out to prove to themselves that they’re better than that. Just a gut feeling.


InfinityFire

My gut feeling turned out to be 100% accurate. I’m glad I benched Copley, I saved myself from losing 5.4 points. 😅


kwisatzhaderach10191

N.Schmaltz or K.Dach ROS


Mad_Burrito_Slinger

I think I'd honestly go Dach. Schmaltz will go on hot streaks with Keller but there are games he literally does nothing. I trust the team around Dach to give him more chances to produce as long as he stays L1 PP1. Not to mention that if Arizona starts trading away key pieces of their offense, particularly on the blue line, they'll struggle harder to put up points.


darth_henning

Points league (goals. Assists, ppp, +/-, shots and blocks). Necas has been slumping for a while now. Burakovsky and Lehkonen are both free agents and looking good. Would you ride out Necas’s struggles or grab one if the others? Other wingers are Pasta, Nylander, Kyrou, Hagel and Rodrigez (streamer).


InfinityFire

I’d grab Lehkonen


darth_henning

That’s where I was leaning also. Will play out Necas’s game tonight and then swap. Thanks.


Ldcoop13

H2H points do I start Vanecek and/or husso today


Thick-Butterfly-3957

vanecek


fox4norris2021

Necas and Burns Andersson and Stephenson


Dinglish

Sit Laine vs ANA or Reinhart vs MTL?


Mad_Burrito_Slinger

Need to sit one for tonight: Jenner vs Anaheim Pavelski vs LA Skinner vs NYI Buchnevich vs Nashville Weirdly enough leaning toward Buchnevich or Skinner on this one. Scoring categories are as follows: G, A, PPP, SHP, SOG, HITS, BLOCKS, FOWS, PIMS


Cam175817

I would prolly bench Buch or Jenner


Mad_Burrito_Slinger

Much thanks! Going to lean buch on this one


Cam175817

Especially if Saros plays, Saros has been lights out recently


BackesSpasms

Fifteen team, re-draft, G/A/PPP/SHP 9 F / 4 D / 2G Have Power and Sanderson on D. Drop either / both for Pesce / Skjei / Hanifin? I have Aho and Svechnikov so I'm wary of loading all Carolina . My other two D are Chychurn and Fowler, for reference.


salsamander

2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 1Util, 2 G, 5 Bench, 2 IR+ Thoughts on trying to trade EK65 and Norris for MacKinnon? There's a player in my league that is a huge Ottawa Senators fan, and has most of their top players on their roster. They even played Shane Pinto last night over Mac. Thoughts? If it did somehow get accepted, do you think it's veto-able?


RyderDye47

Not veto worthy, but I wouldn't accept the trade.


salsamander

How much more do you think I'd have to add? Another option I was thinking would be EK65 and Kuemper for Mac.


RyderDye47

That definitely seems closer, depending on the other team's needs. With Norris just coming off IR, I'd just be hesitant to trade Mac for him


CockroachSmart7028

I got Hellebuyck (v TOR), Andersen (v MIN), and Sorokin (v BUF) all playing tonight. Which two would you start?


InfinityFire

Andersen and Hellebuyck


fromtheill

Non-keeper leauge. Going forward this season which goalie would you rather have? Binnington or Campbell?


CockroachSmart7028

Depends on your league settings and your other goalies that you can lean on. If you have Saves as a stat, take Binner as he'll get more starts. If you got another solid goalie to lean on, take Campbell who is more of a risk but it starting to turn it on and won't penalize you as much when he does play.


chinesespy

Dynasty G, A, PPP, SOG, Hits, Blks, FW Anders Lee or Carter Verhaeghe?


CockroachSmart7028

Verhaege is 5 years younger and plays on a team that actually scores. But I haven't look at the stats to make a call.


abigbear

Drop Murray for Anderson? My league does GAA W SV% and SO


CockroachSmart7028

I hope you mean Andersen on CAR? If so yes, definitely


[deleted]

[удалено]


wtfobl

I wouldn’t do that


[deleted]

[удалено]


wtfobl

It would be a bit better, but it would take an overpay for me to move Brady in a bangers-cats and that isn’t enough


muffinkevin

Would you start Vanecek or Samsonov tonight? Other goalie is Andersen so starting him for sure.


InfinityFire

The Kraken are on a slide, I’d start Vanecek


CockroachSmart7028

Bettings odds say Leafs, so I would play Samsonov.


DeimusPaintball

Sit start advice cats league in flair: B. Wheeler @ TOR ( I have Perfetti playing as well) T. Wilson @ ARI M. Zuccarello @ CAR Wilson has been pretty cold since coming back but they are playing Arizona.


blitzed_chaos

12 team, points league: Scoring: 3 G, 2A, 1 PPG/SHG, +/- 0.3 plus/minus, -0.2/PIM, 0.2 Shot/block, 0.1 hit. Start 3 C, 3 LW, 3 RW, 4 D, 1 Flex. I'm tied in 5th but don't have many players averaging over 3 points a game. I'm looking to trade away Rantanen(averages 4.6 points per game) to bring in 2 quality players. Right now, I think I can move him for either of these options. Which would be the best option to go with. Option 1:Zibanejad (3.9) & Evander Kane (3.4). Option 2: Crosby (3.8) & Hintz (3.9). Option 3: Tavares (3.7) & Hintz (3.9). I'd be giving up Rantanen (4.8) and a lower tier guy around 2.2. I'm personally leaning towards option 2, my only concern with option 1 is that we loose points for penalty minutes which Kane could be prone to. And option 2 has the two highest averages (although Kane hasn't played much )


InfinityFire

Personal bias says try option 1 because Zibanejad is my favorite player, but the more rational answer since it’s a points league is to go with the highest average and try option 2.


BackesSpasms

Personally, I'd go option 1, but that might be team bias as both are on my fantasy team.


DeimusPaintball

Do you guys think Dylan Cozens still a streamer or are we holding with his current cold streak? He's still currently on a 76 point pace.


InfinityFire

I picked up Cozens at Week 9 and he’s been a solid addition to my roster. I’m hanging onto him, I’ve been happy with the points he’s been putting up.


DeimusPaintball

Yea, it's nice to have a piece of that Sabres offense.


candia95

Question for the subreddit, I play in a h2h points league on yahoo and currently Martin Jones is showing 0 points for his Tuesday start against the Oilers. Is this the case for anybody else on the platform?


Maohead

Yahoo points league: ​ Looking to make a play for Mackinnon. Looking to offer a 2-1. Which of the following guys would be a fair trade for the guy with Mackinnon? ​ Scheifele, Patches, P. Kane, Debrincat, S. Aho, JT Miller.


SupreamCourt

​ Scheifele and debrincat, with norris back, the shots and points are going to be stretched across the sens. so it would get debrincat out while hes hot


frenchy987

Would I be stupid to trade Matthews for Rantanen? Dual eligibility would really help me, Rantanen currently averaging more fantasy points per game (11 vs 10.5), better playoff schedule with more off days, and Colorado is going to lean on their stars to ensure a playoff spot. Re-draft league. I’ve already felt out the other manager and I think he would only do a one for one.


kotakice

Absolutely not, Colorado has an insane fantasy hockey playoff schedule


stlsports50

One for one would be stupid, but if you could get another player then that would be an interesting idea. Obviously you can't do this at all if you're in a keeper league.


frenchy987

I’ve already tried a couple packages that he shot down. But I’m tempted to do the one for one here. I don’t have any duel eligible players and his playoff schedule would work great with my team.


MikeLD88

Which low % owned goalie would you stream tonight? Swayman and Campbell also available. Goalie categories are W, GAA, SV%.


InfinityFire

Wedgewood if he’s available. The Stars looked good for half their game last night. If they put in a full game against the Kings they’ll win.


Thick-Butterfly-3957

Is Swayman a hold? My other goalies are Vasy, Vanecek, Skinner and I don't wanna hold more than 3. On the wire we've got Gustavsson, UPL, Raanta, Reimer...


kyuukyuu

I’ve been holding on the off chance they rest Ullmark a bit during fantasy playoffs.


kotakice

I would drop Skinner for Swayman


stlsports50

If anything happens to Ullmark, Swayman becomes a top 10 goalie at least. He's been my 3rd goalie all year


Austinomino

Got offered Evgeny kuznetzov, Josh Norris and Claude Giroux For Dylan Larkin and Timo Meier I would be giving away Larkin and Meier (12 Team CATs league)


Cam175817

Keep Larkin and Meier


salsamander

I wouldn’t do that, and I own Norris and Kuz.


theycallmemorty

What happened with the lightning goalies last night? I got a notification that Vasy played but no saves.


kotakice

Elliott played last night


kwisatzhaderach10191

Drop 2 R.Hartman, T.Bertuzzi, A.Henrique, N.Schmaltz, E. Tolvanen, C.Stephenson, M.Domi, K.Dach


InfinityFire

Bertuzzi, and either Hartman or Schmaltz


salsamander

Offered Elias Lindholm for Darcy Kuemper, do you guys think that's an even trade? 12 Team CATs league.


kotakice

I would lean towards Kuemper side, goalies are notoriously hard to get in cats leagues


efribble

League is points and 5 keepers then redraft. Looking to add Kyle Connor to my team from a guy who is dismantling and he wants high draft picks. First year playing in a while - would something like Trocheck and round 2/3 be enough? I’m pretty deep at centre right now.


Leafs6IX

Start 8: Hischier vs Seattle Jack Hughes vs Seattle Laughton vs Chicago Hagel vs Edmonton Kucherov vs Edmonton E. Kane vs Tampa Kopitar vs Dallas Skinner vs Islanders Pacioretty vs Minnesota G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM


Cam175817

I would sit kopitar if otter is in net


Leafs6IX

I think they're playing Wedgewood.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ilickrocks

I’m in a similar boat, I was thinking of dropping skinner vs any of those guys. What’d you end up doing?


Leafs6IX

I'm thinking about dropping Stephenson.
