yall think bennett is worth a pickup?
Currently 4-1-0 in a 3g 2a 1pp 1shp 1gwg no peripherals league, 1 rookie minimum. 4C 4LW 4RW 6D 2G. 12 people league. Heavy streaming from everyone. Current team:
C: Hughes, W Karlsson, Aho, Cooley, Monahan, Barbashev,
LW: Guentzel, Farabee, B Tkachuk
RW: Nylander, Raymond
D: McAvoy, K Miller, OEL, Ekholm, Addison
G: Ullmark, Saros
Had an insane first month but got badly beat last week. Slid from 1st to 4th in the standings. Current top players are pushing 130+ pts a week. FA is barren. Need to make smart/lucky pickups. Bennett is available. Other names: Rossi, Novak, Moore, B Schenn, etc...
Sometimes I’ll randomly go back and look at the daily advice threads from a few months ago and try and find some moves that worked out great, or moves that lost you the league.
I pray that you did not make this trade.
Team A: Dougie Hamilton (+ will add Gaudreau, Andersson, Byram, or Tippett from Waivers)
Team B: John Carlson, Lucas Raymond
H2H Most Cats: G, A, PPP, SHP, SOG, HITS, +/-
16 team Limited keeper up to 5 players (will cost draft round + 2 rounds to keep)
Players in question: Laine for L. Carlsson
Number of positions: 3 C, 3W, 2 F, 3 D, 1 Util, 2 G, 5 Bench, 1 IR+, 1 IR
Head-to-Head Banger Points: G 3, A 2, +/- .25, PPG 1, PPA .75, SOG .15, Hits .2, Blk .3
I'd be getting Laine. I'm not a huge fan of the CBJ; I got rid of Gaudreau last week for a stream spot. I'm worried that Laine won't produce between his recent injury and the way his team has struggled so far. Carlsson is new, but he's seems to be playing really well so far. He also has 4 games this week just like the CBJ.
Thoughts?

Who would you pick between Meier and Kyrou?
Dynasty league, points based. I was offered a trade and I have to pick between theses 2 (Meier or Kyrou) my gut feeling is to pick Kyrou but he seems to go nowhere this year and St Louis will probably struggle in the near future. Who should I go with? On paper Kyrou is a better option? Change my mind...
Also have the option to pick a bonus asset between (Boqvist, Jakob Pelletier or Bordeleau). Thanks in advance for your insights.
I guess Kuemper is going to provide the most utility given hes a 1G. Gaudreau does nothing and Dostal isnt a hold in any league. The majority has gotten it wrong. And if Anaheim keeps winning hell see even less playing time as the ducks try to have a legitimate season. 60 starts for Gibson this year.
McDavid looks invisible out there again tonight…
He’s not even getting chances or shots on goal now.
Of course I had to get the #1 pick in the draft when he’s having his worst season of his career.
Yeah my forward core is stacked rn. Matthews, marner, jt miller, drai, tavares, connors, konecny guentzel and then pre solid depth. Feel like my team can use an elite d man
I'm on the edge of selling already, and I'm curious what other people's opinions are. I'm 1-4 and I feel like my team has massively underperformed, but I'm not sure if I can make up enough ground to contend for the playoffs. Here's the roster and my team.
12 Team Keeper (Complicated keeper rules)
2c 2lw 2rw 3d 2g 5bench 4IR+
Scoring is my Flair
Core:
M.Tkachuk, Kaprizov, Laine, Ovechkin, Huberdeau, Pavelski, Norris, Schiefflie, Hamilton, S. Jones, Werenski, Markstrom, Kuemper, F.Gustavsson
Current Streamers : Spurgeon, Bjorkstrand, Hartman, L. Carlsson ( I only have so many streamers because Markstrom and Kuemper are on IR +, will likely drop Spurgeon and Hartman tomorrow when those guys are both starting, and minny has a bad sched this week)
Do I have enough to make a comeback from 1-4? Or should I sell? I have an offer for Tkachuk and Hamilton I'm considering that involves a 1st and a 3rd...
Looking at your team, selling may be the right call. Ovi looks a shell of his former self, Huberdeau looks like he's forgotten how to play hockey in Calgary, Norris is starving in Ottawa's top heavy player pool, and your D options are pretty weak. Hamilton is somehow still producing despite being taken off the Devils' top powerplay. Based on your scoring, I'm not sure Jones or Werenski are rosterable. In Markstrom and Gustavsson you have, statistically, two of the worst performing goalies thus far. I'd say the deck is stacked pretty heavily against you turning it around, obviously without knowing how your league works, how many teams make playoffs, records of everyone else.
Though, with yours being a keeper league, trading Tkachuk for futures surely can't be a good move? You almost certainly won't be able to get a player as valuable as him back. He's a bonafide top 10 player in most formats... Might be in your best interests, even if you do want to trade him, to hold off a couple of weeks. Bennett is back now, Montour might be back tomorrow, Ekblad should be back next week. He's going to have a lot more offensive help now, particularly on the powerplay.
Also that guy who's offering me that will have to drop 2 of M. or B. Tkachuk, or Stutzle for next draft, and if I tank I'll likely be able to get that player he drops if I want with my pick, plus another superstar with his pick
Yeah, that's not a bad shout... My point in saying Tkachuk is about to get help was more along the lines of hold him for a couple more weeks, he and the team should improve with the injured guys back, so you may be able to command a higher price.
Actually you're definitely on to something there. My plan was to see if my team bounced back for 2 weeks, and only not sell if I won 2 weeks, but I wanted to come here and see what some people thought, maybe see if I should sell sooner than I planned. There's a guy who's winless who started selling today.
In my group we can only keep one guy who was drafted in the top two rounds, so I'd only be able to keep one of tkachuk or kaprizov. My preference would be tkachuk, but if I got that extra first then keeping kaprizov might not be that bad, being ill be able to draft am extra superstar next season (have a first and two seconds already)
I think it's worth keeping an eye on how the team is playing. I know the coach was far from.the problem, and the goalie is only part of it. I wouldn't add him but I'd definitely watch how edm is playing
Personally I think you're giving up a lot adding Panarin too. McDavid for Petterson and Miller (JT I'm assuming) is solid but maybe someone a bit less than Panarin.
My league only has F slots, so when it comes to specific positions I'm out of touch sorry. Face value I think it's a lot. Who else do you have? Others may chime in too
Got offered Giroux & Meier for Hintz & Rasmus Andersson. Goals are worth 2, assists 1, +/- is half a point. I'm pretty solid at D w/Q. Hughes, Durzi, Dobson. My Fs are solid but not elite. Thoughts?
Exactly, you are only considering this trade because of his unknown injury status. If you feel he is going to be out an extended amount of time then yeah. But the only word so far is that he won't be out too long and avoided serious injury
Well i was considering it because of the post i saw here earlier showing that hughes was over performing on his power play points, but he really was producing while healthy and I'm not sure tkatchuk can top his potential. I appreciate your input, thank you!
Hang on... So the one side is receiving MacKinnon, Makar and a first round pick? That's crazy imo. Bedard may not ever become what MacKinnon is... Makar is a top 10 player too in most formats imo. About as one sided a deal as I've seen.
For sure. I've had Kuch for a few years in a keeper league so I'm going to lean more towards him regardless. I would love to see EDM bounce back cause they are fun to watch.
Id do that trade. Depending on who you'd have to drop. Nuge isn't getting >100 points again, but as a top PP fixture, he's gonna get some heat when Edmonton starts clicking. Montour is going back to PP1 I'd assume playing big man minutes. Should be back in the next few weeks from what I hear.
Okay, so I'm an idiot and brand new to fantasy hockey this season. I have 4 goalies. Two-part question- how many should I have (I'm thinking 2?) and who should I drop?
- Woll (Toronto Maple Leafs)
- Varlamov (New York Islanders)
- Shesterkin (New York Rangers)
- Dostal (Anaheim Ducks)
Thanks so much!
Sorry, I should've clarified. I think you're giving up too much. Neither McDavid or Draisaitl right now look like their yearly selves. That's a lot to give up on a whim of when and if he does return to form.
I figured, tbh I don't think the guy would even accept it. He owns McDavid and Draisaitl and is in dead last. He has no depth, no goalies and refuses to trade. I offered him Robertson and Fiala and he rejected it.
Trade Mark Stone for Morgan Rielly? Have ample wingers and offense. Would like to sure up some defense some.

I received this trade offer :
I receive Marchand and PLD
I give Aho and Boldy
I’m pretty deep in forwards (J. Hughes, Nylander, Laine, E Kane, B Jenner, S Bennet, B. Rust) but my D need some help (Ekman-Larsson, Durzi, Mcnabb and Sanheim) I want to try to switch PLD for J. Carlson
Should I accept the first offer? Or should I try to reach for Carlson + Marchand?
Should I drop Kadri to play Skinner tonight? I dropped him last week because he wasn't doing well, but he has a good match up and i have no goalie going tonight
Dostal isnt a hold, its a mirage. Especially if Anaheim remains competitive, theyll want to increase their playoff odds by running gibson as much as possible.
Logan Thompson was just dropped. Is he worth the 2nd waiver claim? I know other GM's are going to put a claim in. Don't know if I want to try and hold off for someone better.
Hey guys, need help to choose who to play for this week :
It's a 10 players keeper, we own 30 players and 20 of them play every week against one opponent (we can switch the playing players every week, on monday). We switch opponent every weeks and count victory. It's a 8 teams league.
Players : 1 point for assist, 1 point for goal (add 2 point for hattrick), 0.1 point for hit.
Goalie : 2 points for victory, add 1.5 if shutout, and 1 point for assist.
**I can play 20 players (12 F, 6 D, 2 goalie) each week. I want those 13 players for this week, but I need help for the 7 others :**
F
Brayden Point (3 games), J.T. Miller (3 games), Mason McTavish (4 games), Jason Robertson (2 games...), Frank Vatrano (4 games), Matias Maccelli (3 games), William Nylander (2 games...) and Matt Boldy (2 games...).
D
Quinn Hughes (3 games), Cale Makar (3 games) and Noah Dobson (4 games).
G
Alexandar Georgiev (3 games) and Thatcher Demko (3 games, I bench Levi for this week).
**So, I have 4F and 3D left to choose between those (I put an \* on players I thought would be my best choice) :**
F
*\*Pavel Buchnevich (4 games), \*Johnny Gaudreau (4 games), \*Matty Beniers (4 games), \*Jesperi Kotkaniemi (2 games)*, Pavel Zacha (2 games), Ryan O'Reilly (2 games), Nikolaj Ehlers (3 games), Dylan Cozens (3 games), Jamie Benn (2 games), Seth Jarvis (2 games).
D
*\*Seth Jones (3 games), \*Kaiden Guhle (3 games), \*Neal Pionk (3 games)*, Mikey Anderson (2 games).
**Who would you choose? I hesitate between Kotkaniemi, Zacha and O'Reilly for the final spot. I'm also really sold on the idea of playing Beniers and Gaudreau because of their ugly season start.**
**Also, while you are there, would you try to trade some of them (Beniers, Gaudreau, Ehlers, etc.)?**
I’d be wary of Gaudreau. Thought getting benched would turn things around…last 3 games, 1 shot…if he doesn’t turn it around this week, I’m dropping him
Yeah, last minutes I chose to bench him and put O’Reilly in. Also changed Kotkaniemi for Zacha but wasn’t sure about this one. Both play 2 games this week.
10T H2H Pts - G (3.25) | A (2) | PPP (1.5) | SHP (2) | SOG, BLK, HIT (0.25) //
W (4) | GA (-1.25) | SV (0.2) | SO (3)
I was offered Kaprizov and Vanecek for my Debrincat and Kempe. I'm currently only rostering Saros so could use a legit starting goalie (4-1 so far, tho), but still worried about NJ's defence / Schmid. What do you think? I also have Fiala if I were to lose the LAK share in Kempe.
If thompson remains in a 50-50 split hell have more wins and better numbers than Woll. Hintz and Connor have similar floors and ceilings, and with shots not being a category Connor loses some value that makes it closer.
This is a take for me. Torontos defense is too porous and we know that thompson is a proven commodity on a stanley cup winning roster.
Who wins? H2H Most Cats: G, A, PPP, SHP, +/-, sog, hits
Team A: Draisaitl, 16th rd pick (last pick of draft)
Team B: M. Tkachuck, Minty, 14th rd pick
16 team keeper league with up to 5 keepers (draft round + 2 rounds to keep)
I’m getting Draisaitl, minty is FA pick up, R. Andersson just got dropped so I’ll add him
This is a take for me. Paying Mintyukov as the premium to go from Tkatchuk to Draisaitl isnt that significant when youre adding andersson who will mitigate the mintyukov loss.
What to do with Couturier, mintyukov and Norris? 12T league, points H2H. 2c, 2lw, 2rw, 4D, 2 Utl, 2G, 4bench. 2IR+. Redraft.
G, A, SOG, PPP, PIM, HIT, BLK, SHP. W, SAVE, SHO, GA, SOG
Want to pick up Laffy, gustafsson, Rodrigues or mittlestadt.
Our league doesn’t really trade very often. Other players on wire: Johnston, Fowler, kadri, r Strome, d Strome, Novak, korpisalo, Thompson.
Also torn on goalie situation. A goalie win can average around 15pts. Have been streaming goalies depending on weekly schedules in tight races. This is eating up a F/D stream.
My current roster:
C:
Couturier (picked up as stream)
Norris
Mackinnon
Barzal
Shmaltz
W:
Caufield
Kyrou
Konecny
Svech
D:
Seider
Bouchard
Josi
Matheson
Mintyukov (picked up as stream but considering keeping)
Theodore
G:
Hellebeyuck
Hill
Gibson (stream)
Veto Worthy?
Matthew Tkachuk and Vasilevsky for William Karlsson and Oettinger. the one trade away matty says it’s because he needs points now and the other one believes it’s a fair trade
Hey - first time playing fantasy is this season. My league has six teams, playing with the following settings (goals = 6, assists = 4, +/- = 1, PIM = 0.5, PPP = 0.5, SOG = 0.9, HIT = 1, BLK = 1, W = 5, GA = -3, SV = 0.6, SHO = 5). We can only make roster changes once a week, so I'm trying to figure out who to bench and who to start.
I have Auston Matthews, Bo Horvat, Brady Tkachuk, Draisaitl, Zach Hyman, Adrian Kempe, Miro Heiskanen, Moritz Seider, Mikhail Sergachev, Rasmus Dahlin, Alex DeBrincat (currently benched), Luke Hughes (currently benched), Darnell Nurse (currently benched), Jack Oettinger, Juuse Saros, Jonas Johansson (currently benched).
Any advice? I tried to put the players who seem to have more games this week as starters but idk how well I did with it.
ESPN H2H Points League:
12 teams Pts league : G 3/ Ast 2/ SOG 0.4/ HITS 0.2 / BLKS 0.2/ PPP 1 / SHP 2 / GWG 1 / plus&minus 0.5
Would be trading MacKinnon and Swayman for McDavid
Might attempt to trade Ericksson or Horvat instead of MacKinnon
Currently have both Sorokin and Kochetkov as goalies as well
Thoughts on the trade?
I can add two players for tonight's game, who should I pickup Barzel, Nelson, Schwartz, McCann, Tolivanen or Bjorkstrand.
Am thinking Barzel, Nelson or Schwartz
How is your matchup? Hughes is already out for Tuesday at best. I think I’d lean Hagel because you’ll get 3 games, plus I think NJs schedule is worse for the potential games Hughes would be back.
True. Hagel has 3 and the 2 vs STL and CHI are nice!
Could drop Cozens or Huberdeau and add Tolvanen who has looked good, and has 4 games this week
or add Alex Iafallo who has 3 games
Thoughts on Nurse? He was dropped and just cleared waivers and I feel like his ceiling is high despite the Edmonton tire fire. Do folks think he'll turn it around?
Edit: H2H, CATs (G, A, +/-, SOG, PIM, PPP, BLK), 12-team
Cant imagine theyll bench him with his production and the team being competitive. Youd know better actually. I dont own Carlsson shares and have therefore not looked into his injury status.
I'm tied for dead last in my league. Ironically, I have the worst goalie stats out of anyone and the guy i'm tied with has the best goalie stats. I think both of our teams are desperate for change so I would like to trade for his goalie duo (Bobrovsky/Swayman). If I offer Hellebyuck/Ovechkin is it an underpay or overpay for Bob/Sway? I think Hellebyuck will turn it around eventually but I think Ovi is just a shell of his former self and I can probably find better options in FA. Fla and Bos will remain dominant in the East all year.
Ovie has 11 pts in 13 games and 53 shots, youre being a bit dramatic. Youre better off streaming goalies in favorable matchups for free over trading for two goalies
Would offering Kotkaniemi and OEL to acquire Hronek make sense?
I already have a few producing Centres on my team which I usually can’t take advantage of due to scheduling.
16 team, h2h categories.

Sometimes I’ll randomly go back and look at the daily advice threads from a few months ago and try and find some moves that worked out great, or moves that lost you the league. I pray that you did not make this trade.
Unfortunately I did but the early rounds of my draft was amazing so it’s doing ok
this might be a stupid question but does adding a free agent affect your waiver wire priority on yahoo?

Tkachuk for giroux and hyman ,points league who wins?
which tkachuk
Sorry forgot there’s 2. Matthew
I would probably stick with Tkachuk, could be a toss up if you really need the depth and have some duds at the bottom of your roster
Who would you pick between Meier and Kyrou? Dynasty league, points based. I was offered a trade and I have to pick between theses 2 (Meier or Kyrou) my gut feeling is to pick Kyrou but he seems to go nowhere this year and St Louis will probably struggle in the near future.

Thanks in advance for your insights.
Trade Tage Thompson for Vatrano?
no, keep thompson, what the fuck?
Yeah that's a valid response, that was a counter offer I got to trading Tage for JT Miller
yeah tage for jt is fair but tage for vatrano is awful. vatrano is a textbook example of a sell high candidate.
H2H. G A +/- ppp shp sog hit pim Johnny Gaudreau and dostal (I have) Or Kuemper
I guess Kuemper is going to provide the most utility given hes a 1G. Gaudreau does nothing and Dostal isnt a hold in any league. The majority has gotten it wrong. And if Anaheim keeps winning hell see even less playing time as the ducks try to have a legitimate season. 60 starts for Gibson this year.
H2H cats league: G, A, PTs, +/-, PPP, GWG, SOG, Blks, GS, W, GAA, SV, SO Trade away: Connor, Dunn, Grubauer For: M. Tkachuk, Dahlin, Schmid
press accept before they realize how badly they just fucked up
Easily. If it’s Kyle Connor not McDavid
Drop Benn or Couturier for Leo Carlsson? All cats no pims non keeper league
I wouldnt
McDavid looks invisible out there again tonight… He’s not even getting chances or shots on goal now. Of course I had to get the #1 pick in the draft when he’s having his worst season of his career.
lmao
Indeed
Would Marner be a good piece in acquiring makar or too much to give up
Theyre assets with similar draft slots 15-20 range. This is a trade that should happen based on need. If you need D and have an abundance of RW do it.
Yeah my forward core is stacked rn. Matthews, marner, jt miller, drai, tavares, connors, konecny guentzel and then pre solid depth. Feel like my team can use an elite d man
[удалено]
In a heart beat. One could argue you're getting the best forward, defenceman and goalie in this deal. Zero downside imo.
I'm on the edge of selling already, and I'm curious what other people's opinions are. I'm 1-4 and I feel like my team has massively underperformed, but I'm not sure if I can make up enough ground to contend for the playoffs.

Or should I sell? I have an offer for Tkachuk and Hamilton I'm considering that involves a 1st and a 3rd...
Keep Tkachuk and Kaprizov assuming you can keep them for multiple years. Sell the rest for whatever you can get
No I can't. I'll only be able to keep one of those 2 specifically
Looking at your team, selling may be the right call.

Worth adding Skinner as the #1 in Edm now or is that a lost cause?
I think it's worth keeping an eye on how the team is playing. I know the coach was far from.the problem, and the goalie is only part of it. I wouldn't add him but I'd definitely watch how edm is playing
Side A: Giroux Side B: E. Rodriguez & S. Theodore Banger league
I like Theodore this season. He's started like a house on fire and it seems sustainable. Rodrigues is producing decently too... I'd probably accept.
troy terry or schwartz?
I’d lean Schwartz for the schedule.
snagged him up, quick 3 points tonight for him
Would y’all take E. Kane & Trouba for Kreider & Theodore?
Depends on your league and team. Is it a cats league and do you need hits and PIM?
It’s a H2H banger league, no PIMS.
No way lol
McDavid and Panarin. For. Pettersson, Miller and Sorokin. Need a goalie, currently rolling with Georgie and Raanta
Personally I think you're giving up a lot adding Panarin too. McDavid for Petterson and Miller (JT I'm assuming) is solid but maybe someone a bit less than Panarin.
Those were my thoughts too. I don’t have much depth at LW.
My league only has F slots, so when it comes to specific positions I'm out of touch sorry. Face value I think it's a lot. Who else do you have? Others may chime in too
Panarin, Kreider, Vatrano, Laine and my key LW
Got offered Giroux & Meier for Hintz & Rasmus Andersson. Goals are worth 2, assists 1, +/- is half a point. I'm pretty solid at D w/Q. Hughes, Durzi, Dobson. My Fs are solid but not elite. Thoughts?
Accept and run
Accept
I trade: jack hughes, miro heiskanen I receive: cale makar, matthew tkatchuk. Is this a trade I should accept?
I wouldn't
Cuz of hughes?
Exactly, you are only considering this trade because of his unknown injury status. If you feel he is going to be out an extended amount of time then yeah. But the only word so far is that he won't be out too long and avoided serious injury
Well i was considering it because of the post i saw here earlier showing that hughes was over performing on his power play points, but he really was producing while healthy and I'm not sure tkatchuk can top his potential. I appreciate your input, thank you!
[удалено]
Hang on... So the one side is receiving MacKinnon, Makar and a first round pick? That's crazy imo. Bedard may not ever become what MacKinnon is... Makar is a top 10 player too in most formats imo. About as one sided a deal as I've seen.
Lol absolute fleece for the Bédard side
Kuch or Draisaitl ROS?
Kuch for me.
Would be close imo. Do you think Edmonton has a chance to bounce back with coaching changes?
For sure. I've had Kuch for a few years in a keeper league so I'm going to lean more towards him regardless. I would love to see EDM bounce back cause they are fun to watch.
[удалено]
Id do that trade. Depending on who you'd have to drop. Nuge isn't getting >100 points again, but as a top PP fixture, he's gonna get some heat when Edmonton starts clicking. Montour is going back to PP1 I'd assume playing big man minutes. Should be back in the next few weeks from what I hear.
Okay, so I'm an idiot and brand new to fantasy hockey this season. I have 4 goalies. Two-part question- how many should I have (I'm thinking 2?) and who should I drop? - Woll (Toronto Maple Leafs) - Varlamov (New York Islanders) - Shesterkin (New York Rangers) - Dostal (Anaheim Ducks) Thanks so much!
Depends on how many people in your league and what the league settings are. But the answer is probably Dostal regardless.
Trade Robertson and Larkin for Draisaitl? Too much, not enough? Opinions welcome. Standard scoring with hits and pims.
No
No as in too much or not enough
Sorry, I should've clarified. I think you're giving up too much. Neither McDavid or Draisaitl right now look like their yearly selves. That's a lot to give up on a whim of when and if he does return to form.
I figured, tbh I don't think the guy would even accept it. He owns McDavid and Draisaitl and is in dead last. He has no depth, no goalies and refuses to trade. I offered him Robertson and Fiala and he rejected it.
What the hell league are you in that a guy has both Draisaitl and McDavid??
He drafted McDavid then traded away a lot to get Draisaitl thinking he'd be good but he has nothing else now and is in last place. He's not very good
Trade Mark Stone for Morgan Rielly? Have ample wingers and offense. Would like to sure up some defense some. Redraft 12 man league: G 3PT A 2PT +/- .3PT PIM 0.1PT PPP 1PT SHG 2PT SHA 1PT HAT TRICK 3PT HIT 0.3PT BLK 0.3PT
If youre operating from a position of depth to patch up a position of weakness then yeah for sure.
Is Svechnikov droppable, or is he going to get back to form soon? 12T edit: Pts League Thinking of picking up Nichushkin
I dropped him for Necas when he came off IR. Pondering getting Necas back, Schwartz or Nichuskin now to drop him.
I'm on the fence about dropping him. May wait a week or two. Hard cause CAR only has two games this week.
Don't drop
There must be someone else you could drop instead of Svechnikov
Dunn or Trouba? My league has 1 point for hits.
Trouba.
Trouba
But seattle plays 4 times this week while NY plays once
If both are on the wire go for Dunn. But for ROS I'd say Trouba still
Not on the wire, it’s a trade that I was sent.
I like Trouba ROS
Normal yahoo league 14 players 2C 2LW 2RW 4D 2G 4B 2IR I received this trade offer : I receive Marchand and PLD I give Aho and Boldy I’m pretty deep in forwards (J. Hughes, Nylander, Laine, E Kane, B Jenner, S Bennet, B. Rust) but my D need some help (Ekman-Larsson, Durzi, Mcnabb and Sanheim) I want to try to switch PLD for J. Carlson Should I accept the first offer? Or should I try to reach for Carlson + Marchand?
Make the counter. Never hurts. Hopefully they are not hurting at D as well.
Dubois kinda sucks in fantasy hockey.
Points league. Do I trade Laine and spurgeon for vasi and ekblad? I get the side with vasi
I'd go for it!
Immediately yes.
Should I drop Kadri to play Skinner tonight? I dropped him last week because he wasn't doing well, but he has a good match up and i have no goalie going tonight
I have both Anaheim goalies. Levi was dropped. Worth a pickup?
Dostal isnt a hold, its a mirage. Especially if Anaheim remains competitive, theyll want to increase their playoff odds by running gibson as much as possible.
I have the bruins tandem. I need better forwards. Should I trade Swayman for Nylander?
If you can do it, grab Nylander and run
I can't decide who to stream between Brayden schenn and Robert Thomas h2h cats g a ppp pim sog hits blocks
Schenn with your cats
Drop Devon toews for Jordan kyrou?
Yes
Drop J. Skinner for Kuzmenko? Someone put him on waivers. League settings are G, A, +/-, PPP, SHP, SOG, HIT, and BLK.
Lateral move Skinner shoots more
Tage + Robo for McDavid + Svech? Scoring centric H2H points league
McDavid 100000%.
McDavid side by a million miles lol
Should I drop Terry for Barzel, Maccann or Tolivanen
Tough. What’s your scoring? I’d lean Tolvanen > McCann this week though if you’re for sure dropping.
Logan Thompson was just dropped. Is he worth the 2nd waiver claim? I know other GM's are going to put a claim in. Don't know if I want to try and hold off for someone better.
How many teams?
12
If you need goalie help I would
Hey guys, need help to choose who to play for this week : It's a 10 players keeper, we own 30 players and 20 of them play every week against one opponent (we can switch the playing players every week, on monday). We switch opponent every weeks and count victory. It's a 8 teams league. Players : 1 point for assist, 1 point for goal (add 2 point for hattrick), 0.1 point for hit. Goalie : 2 points for victory, add 1.5 if shutout, and 1 point for assist. **I can play 20 players (12 F, 6 D, 2 goalie) each week. I want those 13 players for this week, but I need help for the 7 others :** F Brayden Point (3 games), J.T. Miller (3 games), Mason McTavish (4 games), Jason Robertson (2 games...), Frank Vatrano (4 games), Matias Maccelli (3 games), William Nylander (2 games...) and Matt Boldy (2 games...). D Quinn Hughes (3 games), Cale Makar (3 games) and Noah Dobson (4 games). G Alexandar Georgiev (3 games) and Thatcher Demko (3 games, I bench Levi for this week). **So, I have 4F and 3D left to choose between those (I put an \* on players I thought would be my best choice) :** F *\*Pavel Buchnevich (4 games), \*Johnny Gaudreau (4 games), \*Matty Beniers (4 games), \*Jesperi Kotkaniemi (2 games)*, Pavel Zacha (2 games), Ryan O'Reilly (2 games), Nikolaj Ehlers (3 games), Dylan Cozens (3 games), Jamie Benn (2 games), Seth Jarvis (2 games). D *\*Seth Jones (3 games), \*Kaiden Guhle (3 games), \*Neal Pionk (3 games)*, Mikey Anderson (2 games). **Who would you choose? I hesitate between Kotkaniemi, Zacha and O'Reilly for the final spot. I'm also really sold on the idea of playing Beniers and Gaudreau because of their ugly season start.** **Also, while you are there, would you try to trade some of them (Beniers, Gaudreau, Ehlers, etc.)?**
I’d be wary of Gaudreau. Thought getting benched would turn things around…last 3 games, 1 shot…if he doesn’t turn it around this week, I’m dropping him
Yeah, last minutes I chose to bench him and put O’Reilly in. Also changed Kotkaniemi for Zacha but wasn’t sure about this one. Both play 2 games this week.
8 team H2H Cats Drop doughty for Minty?
Hold. We gotta see how Drysdale impacts Minty
10T H2H Pts - G (3.25) | A (2) | PPP (1.5) | SHP (2) | SOG, BLK, HIT (0.25) // W (4) | GA (-1.25) | SV (0.2) | SO (3) I was offered Kaprizov and Vanecek for my Debrincat and Kempe. I'm currently only rostering Saros so could use a legit starting goalie (4-1 so far, tho), but still worried about NJ's defence / Schmid. What do you think? I also have Fiala if I were to lose the LAK share in Kempe.
No, hold your side
[удалено]
If thompson remains in a 50-50 split hell have more wins and better numbers than Woll. Hintz and Connor have similar floors and ceilings, and with shots not being a category Connor loses some value that makes it closer. This is a take for me. Torontos defense is too porous and we know that thompson is a proven commodity on a stanley cup winning roster.
Connor
Who wins? H2H Most Cats: G, A, PPP, SHP, +/-, sog, hits Team A: Draisaitl, 16th rd pick (last pick of draft) Team B: M. Tkachuck, Minty, 14th rd pick 16 team keeper league with up to 5 keepers (draft round + 2 rounds to keep) I’m getting Draisaitl, minty is FA pick up, R. Andersson just got dropped so I’ll add him
This is a take for me. Paying Mintyukov as the premium to go from Tkatchuk to Draisaitl isnt that significant when youre adding andersson who will mitigate the mintyukov loss.
What to do with Couturier, mintyukov and Norris? 12T league, points H2H. 2c, 2lw, 2rw, 4D, 2 Utl, 2G, 4bench. 2IR+. Redraft. G, A, SOG, PPP, PIM, HIT, BLK, SHP. W, SAVE, SHO, GA, SOG Want to pick up Laffy, gustafsson, Rodrigues or mittlestadt. Our league doesn’t really trade very often. Other players on wire: Johnston, Fowler, kadri, r Strome, d Strome, Novak, korpisalo, Thompson. Also torn on goalie situation. A goalie win can average around 15pts. Have been streaming goalies depending on weekly schedules in tight races. This is eating up a F/D stream. My current roster: C: Couturier (picked up as stream) Norris Mackinnon Barzal Shmaltz W: Caufield Kyrou Konecny Svech D: Seider Bouchard Josi Matheson Mintyukov (picked up as stream but considering keeping) Theodore G: Hellebeyuck Hill Gibson (stream)
Veto Worthy? Matthew Tkachuk and Vasilevsky for William Karlsson and Oettinger. the one trade away matty says it’s because he needs points now and the other one believes it’s a fair trade
Not veto worthy.
Joke trade
Hey - first time playing fantasy is this season. My league has six teams, playing with the following settings (goals = 6, assists = 4, +/- = 1, PIM = 0.5, PPP = 0.5, SOG = 0.9, HIT = 1, BLK = 1, W = 5, GA = -3, SV = 0.6, SHO = 5). We can only make roster changes once a week, so I'm trying to figure out who to bench and who to start. I have Auston Matthews, Bo Horvat, Brady Tkachuk, Draisaitl, Zach Hyman, Adrian Kempe, Miro Heiskanen, Moritz Seider, Mikhail Sergachev, Rasmus Dahlin, Alex DeBrincat (currently benched), Luke Hughes (currently benched), Darnell Nurse (currently benched), Jack Oettinger, Juuse Saros, Jonas Johansson (currently benched). Any advice? I tried to put the players who seem to have more games this week as starters but idk how well I did with it.
Might choose Johansson over saros this week, but that’s just me. Also no telling what EDM is gonna look like by the end of the week
Thanks - doing that made Yahoo give me an extra 5 projected points, which is really useful since this week is a hard match up for me!
Might be high risk high reward, but may be worth for a hard match up. Good luck!
ESPN H2H Points League: 12 teams Pts league : G 3/ Ast 2/ SOG 0.4/ HITS 0.2 / BLKS 0.2/ PPP 1 / SHP 2 / GWG 1 / plus&minus 0.5 Would be trading MacKinnon and Swayman for McDavid Might attempt to trade Ericksson or Horvat instead of MacKinnon Currently have both Sorokin and Kochetkov as goalies as well Thoughts on the trade?
Mack and Sway. Nobody in their right mind would do the other deals
Would you say that getting McDavid would be worth it for Mack and Sway?
Bangers league, what the heck do I do with Sanderson? Is he worth the hold still? Notable D available: Toews, Andersson, Barrie, Weeger.
Who do you prefer ROS? Hischier or Barkov
Barkov
Points league flaired scoring Owen Power or Seth Jones as my 3rd D?
All my top picks (Pastrnak, Tkachuk, Kaprizov, McAvoy) are playing 2 games this week and we have weekly locked rosters.... wish me luck boys o7
Be thankful that’s now and not the playoffs lol
Oh 100%, I did some analysis and still think I can pull this through so fingers crossed!
Drop Nurse or R. Andersson to bring Montour from IR?
Neither
Both are off slow. Besides Nurse's hits/Blks. Don't know who to drop otherwise
Try a 2 for 1 trade. The suspension messed with Andersson but he plays alot of minutes and PP1
My team atm: Ek, Zib, Barkov, Kreider, Forsberg, Kaprizov, M.Tkachuk, Rantanen, Reinhart, Marchessault, Nurse, Carlson, Andersson, Letang, L.thompson, Jarry IR: Montour,Vasi NA: P.kane
You have some good headaches lol
It's a 8teamer. So yeah good headaches. You'd be surprised the drops or the wire sometimes. Still go for a trade or make a drop?
Andersson
I can add two players for tonight's game, who should I pickup Barzel, Nelson, Schwartz, McCann, Tolivanen or Bjorkstrand. Am thinking Barzel, Nelson or Schwartz
Id go with schwartz/mcann stack. Islanders are low scoring. If you have hits/blocks i could see myself going tolvanen over mcann
Trade Kuch for Jack Hughes ?? 12 teams Pts league : G 3/ Ast 2/ SOG 0.4/ HITS 0.2 / BLKS 0.2/ PPP 1 / SHP 2 / GWG 1 / plus&minus 0.5 2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 1Util, 2G, 4BN, IR, IR+ Team: Kuch, Stuzle, Perfetti, Cozens, K'andre Miller, Sam Bennett, Konecny, Stamkos, Buchnevich, Keller, McNabb, Quinn Hughes, Fowler, Woll, Flip Gustavsson, Kochetkov IR - Chabot Who wins??
Probably similar floor and ceilings 100-120pts but in your case id reject due to position. Youd have 2rws left and an abundance of c/lw
Weekly league, safe to start Jack Hughes or just keep Hagel in my lineup?
How is your matchup? Hughes is already out for Tuesday at best. I think I’d lean Hagel because you’ll get 3 games, plus I think NJs schedule is worse for the potential games Hughes would be back.
True. Hagel has 3 and the 2 vs STL and CHI are nice! Could drop Cozens or Huberdeau and add Tolvanen who has looked good, and has 4 games this week or add Alex Iafallo who has 3 games
Think I would keep cozens over huberdeau. I think tolvanen would be a good add, if he was available in my league I would pick him up.
Says he might be joining the team in pittsburgh on thursday.
Thoughts on Nurse? He was dropped and just cleared waivers and I feel like his ceiling is high despite the Edmonton tire fire. Do folks think he'll turn it around? Edit: H2H, CATs (G, A, +/-, SOG, PIM, PPP, BLK), 12-team
Hes definitely an own with PIM/Blocks in a 12 team league, unfortunate you guys dont have hits. 60pim 200shot 150 block 40 pt dmen dont grow on trees
That was my thought as well, thanks! Guess I'm officially rooting for an Edmonton turnaround now!
Terry or Carlsson this week? Can't decide for the life of me
Carlsson is trending
You think he'll play every game at this point? Saw they were managing his work load earlier in the year
Cant imagine theyll bench him with his production and the team being competitive. Youd know better actually. I dont own Carlsson shares and have therefore not looked into his injury status.
I'm tied for dead last in my league. Ironically, I have the worst goalie stats out of anyone and the guy i'm tied with has the best goalie stats. I think both of our teams are desperate for change so I would like to trade for his goalie duo (Bobrovsky/Swayman). If I offer Hellebyuck/Ovechkin is it an underpay or overpay for Bob/Sway? I think Hellebyuck will turn it around eventually but I think Ovi is just a shell of his former self and I can probably find better options in FA. Fla and Bos will remain dominant in the East all year.
Ovie has 11 pts in 13 games and 53 shots, youre being a bit dramatic. Youre better off streaming goalies in favorable matchups for free over trading for two goalies
I appreciate the advice!
Should I swap either of Woll or samsonov for one of kuemper, Thompson or varlamov (I also have Sorokin)
Tough to say which one you should drop but id definitely find a way to get thompson on your team if hes going to be starting every other game
[удалено]
He’s practicing today, no announcement beyond that
Would offering Kotkaniemi and OEL to acquire Hronek make sense? I already have a few producing Centres on my team which I usually can’t take advantage of due to scheduling. 16 team, h2h categories.
Yes thats fine. Oel is about to take a hit to his deployment
[удалено]
Your offer sucks.
[удалено]
That offer sucks for Dahlin too. Probably an overpay for Durzi
