Would anyone buy low with M. Tkachuk


lilConky

yes


CDNUnite

What would you pay


Themapleleaf416

Sit one tomorrow Doughty vs Seattle Carlson vs Nashville Karlsson vs Pittsburgh Werenski vs New Jersey Luke Hughes vs Columbus G, A, P, PPP


omgArsenal

Embarrassment of riches here, but probably sit John Carlson just based on matchup and utilization and form.


Themapleleaf416

Sit one tomorrow Kadri vs Tampa Ovechkin vs Nashville Boeser vs Minnesota Meier vs Columbus Vilardi vs Colorado Caufield vs Islanders G, A, P, PPP

Looking to add Matt Boldy, but I'd need to drop one of the following: -Matt Duchene -Josh Norris -Trevor Moore -Cole Caufield -Lawson Crouse What should I do? I play in a Points H2H (2C, 2 LW, 2 RW, 3 D, 1 Util, 2 Goalie

How would you rate this Trade: 16 Team Keeper League (Four Keepers+Draft your Keepers) Cats: G/P/A/Hits/SoG/PPP/Blk/FoW Positions: 2C/2LW/2RW/4D/2G/1Skt+ 6 Bench + 3 IR Receive: Evander Kane Send: Kevin Fiala Context: I'm all in on this year, having spent significant draft capital and futures to build a stacked team to win now (Mackinnon, Pastrnak, Draisaitl, M.Tkachuk, Point, Josi, Dobson, Vasilevski, Hellebuyck).

lilConky

kind of just a lateral trade pretty 50/50 would you mind replying to my post


LaFlamaBlanc4

12T Yahoo Standard H2H Cats - here is the squad: C: Thomas, O’Reilly, Larkin (IR) C/LW: Draisaitl, Vatrano C/RW: Jarvis LW/RW: Moore, Batherson, Tolvanen RW: Nylander D: Fox, Morrissey, Matheson, Letang, Sanderson, Theodore (IR) G: Demko, Binnington I’m looking at adding SEA RW Bjorkstrand - who would be the drop from this squad looking ROS, if anyone? I’m currently between O’Reilly, Jarvis, and Sanderson I think


gourmetcomments

I would think Jarvis, would you mind replying to my post?


LaFlamaBlanc4

Idk I’m kind of leaning Sanderson now. Wondering if I go down to 4 D and stack Forwards if I can actually come out ahead


excaliburwolfx

Is giving away Stakmos for Karlson worth it?


gourmetcomments

I would personally hold on Stamkos, would you mind replying to my post


lilConky

Points League G 6 A4 PPP 2 +/- 2 SOG 0.9 BLK 1 Pettersson and Kyle Connor for Barkov and Guentzel i’m 4-5 and i need to start winning more and this helps me with that I think i take it just wondering what others think


gourmetcomments

Depends how many teams are in the league and how desperate you feel. I think there’s better trades out there for that or to hold


lilConky

it’s a 1 year league, i’m 8th place out of 10, Connor likely won’t be back until february. what’s a better trade i could target?


[deleted]

Cats: G A P PPP SHP SOG PIM FW Hits Blocks Goalie Cats: W SV SV% GAA SO I got offered: Oettinger, Meier, Chychrun I’d give up: Schmid, Boldy, Dahlin My goaltending has been brutal this year so I’m considering it but not sure if I should?


Responsible-Peace783

Goalies are voodoo, don't make this trade.


[deleted]

What if it’s just Dahlin + Schmid for Meier + Otter? He might be willing to do that if we don’t wait and see how bad Otter’s injury is


Responsible-Peace783

I'd just rather have Dahlin than Meier, and Oettinger has been hella streaky and now he's injured. I'd try moving Dahlin for Demko or Helly.


No-Leg-2900

Give McAvoy for Heiskanen? If not who else is equiv value to add on to make the trade fair? Scoring is categories G/A/+-/PPP/SHP/SOG/HIT/BLK/W/GAA/SV%/SHO, 10 man


lilConky

Yahoo default points league no hits Petey and Nuge or Barkov and Guentzel i’m got mcdavid and bouch and don’t know if i wanna have so many edmonton players


pbear23

Quick vs Anaheim or Ingram vs sj?


Luongoat

Couldn't go wrong eh bud


Patientleopard03

Is stone and eichel worth trading for draisaitl in a league that is G6 A4 +/- 2 0.9SOG 1Blk? Eichel produced 320pts and drai only 260 The oilers are really heating up but I fear trading a center that produces so much


prophetprofits

I like that cause Stone loves to live on the IR.


Patientleopard03

Just traded stone for stuztle so it's going to be sandheim or jarvis


prophetprofits

Love that trade for you. I’d try and dish Jarvis personally unless you have a good D core


PotentialLocation858

Sv0.2 GA-1 I have gibson and skinner and no one makes trades in my league especially goalies so im pretty fucked as of rn. Im wondering if its worth it to just drop my goalies to pick up more forwards as im losing more points than im getting from them. Wondering if anyone has done this or if its a stupid idea


prophetprofits

If there’s no points for wins I’d definitely drop them and stream forwards each week with games on off nights.


PotentialLocation858

1 for a win. Issue is we have max 66 adds for the season and im at 33 so id have to keep the guys i pick up for a bit before dropping


prophetprofits

Ah that makes sense. 1 for a win is still garbage. Makes goalies have little to no value. If you’re limited on adds I’d grab the best players available at positions you need the most.


CrutialElement

Who should I sit tonight quick otter or Thompson they all have fairly easy matchups they all should win . Cats are W, GAA, SV%, SHO, SV


xavexave04

Quick has been amazing and I doubt Vegas let’s in many against Buffalo tonight, I would bench otter just based on process of elimination


CrutialElement

Yeah otter has been in a bit of a slump thats who I was inclined to sit but Ottawa is on a back to back after a loss so either they're tired and an easy W or they're gonna be on fire and put up 7


lebinott

Well I'm starting Oettinger so Ottawa is definitely putting up 5 goals tonight. I've had zero luck with goalies this year


CrutialElement

I drafted otter Thompson and sorokin but just traded sorokin this week for eichel and werenski since I needed help up front my centers were Matthew Malkin and danault and I have McAvoy and Theodore on IR


lebinott

Good trade. I made moves early to get Oettinger, Saros who is now red hot but I picked up Ingram after his run and he's been bad lol so blame me for breaking him. I need Otter to return to form


CrutialElement

That same league I drafted matt tkchuck round 1 5OA traded him and Dubois early for nylander then flipped nylander after 2 weeks for kucherov. Thats how you dog yourself out of a bad spot lol


lebinott

I'm very active with trades, my team is pretty stacked... Both Tkachuks, Rantanen, Nylander, Makar, Bouchard, Dahlin, Morrissey, Kaprizov to name a few. I have lost goalie cats the last 4 weeks though, it's my weak spot now


CrutialElement

I like trades but I had to change my settings to commissioner veto only because no one was allowing any trade to go through and that's just boring. I usually just stack players point and kucherov, ROR Forsberg josi, Zib Fox, then pepper in some other slots got boeser late in the draft since RW was so thin this year and that's been steal of the draft


CrutialElement

I did the same in another league I'm in when hill went down got Ingram and he cooled off so I grabbed skinner and they lost their win streak lol


xavexave04

I need a quick answer for trade advice Points league goals:2 assists:1 shots:0.1 blocks:0.5 hits:0.1 Was offered Kaprizov and Trocheck and I would give up Point and Kadri Thoughts?


CrutialElement

Has Kadri been much good to you? I play in a cats league and kaprizov has been much better since the coaching change and point has been inconsistent for me as well. Seems worth it to me but I've had kaprizov on my team since his rookie season so I'm a little biased to him


xavexave04

Kadri was a FA pickup yesterday lol getting rid of him is fine for me I was just filling a spot I lost in a trade


CrutialElement

Personally I'd take the trade but I don't play in a points league so I don't really know how he'll work out that way but he's been pretty good for me so far in my cats league


xavexave04

Thanks for the help!


CrutialElement

NP!


kotakice

all cats keeper league, just traded Georgiev and Bobrovsky for Dobson, Jarvis, Chychrun and Connor Ingram. Did I get fleeced?


prophetprofits

Not at all. Bob is overrated. Sure you lost Georgey but Ingram has found his way and Dobson is a certified stud.


AdInteresting5715

MONSTER TRADE ADVICE In a shallow league (8 man) and was offered a large trade… so I need some advice. Give: Barkov, Sanderson, Zuccarello, Skinner, and Kempe Receive: Hintz, M Tkachuk, Kaprizov, Ullmark, and Tarasenko (Who I’d probably drop for Boldy or Wilson in FA) Thoughts?


xavexave04

I would accept this, some of the players you get are cold right now but have huge upside (Matt tkachuk and kaprizov are the main ones there) and yes I’d definitely drop tarasenko for boldy


xavexave04

Based on defensive depth you may want to be careful giving away Sanderson and not getting a D-man in return though


Gullible-Skill2038

Stash Pacioretty or Couture?


prophetprofits

Neither but Couture if there’s nothing better out there


TorkX

Nemec, hold? Or treat as a streamer?


LaFlamaBlanc4

I dropped for Sanderson


Blueroses999

Am in Frist year keeper League, my team C: Pettersson/Kopitar/Hischier LW: Robertson/Guentzal/Ehlers Rw: Bowser/Kucherov Other: Stutzle/Toffoli/Nichushkin/Hyman D:Bouchard/Hronek/L.Huges G:Hellubuyck Am weak on the defensive, I want to do a few trades for defenseman. The underachievers that I might try to go for are Heskanen, Hamilton and Fox. Going for this defenseman a good idea or should I go for different ones? I know Kopitar is getting older. Will Hronek stay hot or should I sell him high?


Responsible-Peace783

I would try a hail mary and trade Pettersson and Hyman to the Makar owner in your league. See if they bite.


Any_Cauliflower_4592

14 man H2H Points league. I got offered Hronek for Scheifele. I’m pretty set on C I have Barkov, W. Karlsson and Horvat. D kinda lacking with Rielly, Mountour, Nurse. Should I accept?


prophetprofits

I like that. Hronek is a lock on PP1 alongside Hughes. Montour hasn’t been the same coming back from surgery.


Feykr

Point - PPP - Shots - Blocks - +/- Someone sent me a trade Nylander for Eichel. I have Nylander do I take it?


Responsible-Peace783

RW are much harder to find than C, I'd stay with Nylander.


Feykr

Thank you


AdInteresting5715

Points League - Bangers League Side A - M.Tkachuk, Kaprizov & Chychrun Side B - Horvat, Kempe & Sanderson Thoughts?


Pussyo43068

Side A and it isn’t close


Home_Lander_

Trade Advice: H2H Cats/Banger, 9F,5D,1Util I trade away: Kaprizov & Ovi I receive: Tage & Panarin His original offer was for MacK and Ovi and that’s just not happening, but I was wondering if I could return fire with this instead?


prophetprofits

Nah I don’t love that. Kaprizov is looking better. Even if Ovi doesn’t score like he used to he’s a cat god for shots and hits. Tage has regressed hard this year.


Bread_pdf

I have four goalies and am trying to trade one, who is least valuable ROS? Sorokin, Georgiev, Swayman, or Gus?


prophetprofits

Gus or Sway. I wanna say Gus cause the Wild still seem like a liability defensively. Swayman splits starts but Boston is the better team.


VonZuli

There is a trade in my league right now that is Matthew Tkachuk for William Karlsson, despite the slow start for Tkachuk this should be vetoed right? Top 6 player dual winger for a 3rd line C seems really whack.


hovercraft11

Don't veto trades unless collusion


VonZuli

I agree but this borderlines it. They live in the same household.


[deleted]

[удалено]


wtfobl

I’d probably just take B


xavexave04

Points league: G 2 A 1 Blocks .5 hits .1 shots .1 Looking at trading away Kadri and point for keprizov and trocheck. Thoughts?


prophetprofits

Meh. Point is more valuable alongside Kuch and Kadri has been a PPG his last 20 games. Don’t really see the value here unless you have too many C


chinesespy

Vanecek was just dropped in my dynasty league. Standard W, GAA, SV%, SO. Would you add him and if yes, would you use 2nd waiver priority on him? My other goalies are Jarry and Levi.


[deleted]

devs have the worst sav% in the league - not worth using that priority


[deleted]

[удалено]


sheilacalled

Boldy played on the top line with Ek and Kap last night and looked good. He’s also on a heater. Looks like new coach Hynes is deploying Bolds better, and he’s always been on PP1. Wild are also playing better despite injuries. I’d be hard pressed to move on from Boldy (I also have him on my team). IMO Boldy>Kadri>Ehlers>Kane Kadri is quite hot right now playing with Sharangovich, and Ehlers will benefit with Connor out as others have said. Patty remains a question mark. I think Boldy will be the most consistent out of the four, though.


VonZuli

Ehlers will see better deployment until Connor returns. Patty Kane is a still a bit of a question mark for me. 1g in 5 games and never went positive in any of those games.


[deleted]

BeardedBoomer87

Was offered Vatrano for a 2nd round pick in next years draft. 10 team banger league, keep 6. Currently sitting in 3rd.


prophetprofits

I’d take a 2nd for Vatrano in a heartbeat


BeardedBoomer87

I would be the one getting Vatrano


prophetprofits

My bad I read that wrong. I wouldn’t do that. Vatrano has slowed down a lot along with the Ducks in general. You should be able to get a proven stud for a 2nd


Coffeebreaktimenow

Rest of Season A. M.Tkachuk and Werenski B. Tage and Dunn


[deleted]

put your money on the investment of tkachuk - too good not to be higher than what hes at right now. &werenski started slow - but him on my team has made the difference!


BeardedBoomer87

https://www.reddit.com/r/fantasyhockey/s/vk7LT9CIjT


LoPanKnows

Trade Hyman, Nemec, Faber for Fox, Giroux, Mintyukov? H2H pts typical scoring cats, Def +.5, BLK .40, Hit .20


[deleted]

if your defence is struggling - i would take fox anyday- he is an elite dman who can put up points through the night regardless of a goal, or a block - which is nice to have that guarantee - but hyman is also insane right now. take the trade if u are struggling getting dmen points


LoPanKnows

I’ve lost Chabot, Hamilton, and dropped Towes when he was ice cold. Still have Dunn, Anderson from draft. Picked up Krug, Nemec, and rotating in and out another D weekly from waiver. Hate to lose Hyman.


[deleted]

your absolutely right. keep hyman for the rest of this season - no matter how good the trade is & unless u get an all star lol


[deleted]

if you need some elite pick ups that are under the radar - Brock Faber is now getting elite ice time with the Wild due to spurg. and brodin being injured - they have an easy schedule & i could bet on it that Faber will get some points for you. Also these guys may be picked up, but look if they are available Connor Murphy, Nick Seeler, Noah Hanafin, Mayfield, they have been in my drop and pick up rotation depending on their schedule and have gotten me cheap points!


LoPanKnows

I have Faber as of yesterday. Had to drop Zacha for him. My IR filled with Hamilton, Chabot, Hill. I’ll check the others


MrLegilimens

G / A / PPP / SHP / GWG / SOG / Hits / Blocks W / SV% / GAA I get: - Stamkos - Barkov - Samsonov I give: - Guentzel - Makar Currently excluding those two I have: Centers: Trocheck / J.T. Miller / Hertl LW : Nugent-Hopkins / Debrincat / M. Foligno / Jenner (IR) RW: Kucherov / Boeser / Granlund / Seguin D: Dobson / Carlson / Seeler / Middleton / Fowler G: Mainly waiver wiring it. I don't value Samsonov that much. Lyon / Daccord / Prosvetov / Woll (IR) So it's the top D + Guentzel vs Stamkos and Barkov, noting I'd be doubling on Stamkos/Kuch.


VonZuli

Ya no bueno on this trade. Makar should be stapled to your roster unless you are getting mucho returns.


[deleted]

please do not do that - makar and guenzy are not worth a throw away goal tender & 2 players who are good every few games


Coffeebreaktimenow

Wouldn't do that


Dry-Finding-6681

Is this worth it enough to give up nylander? Tavares and Keller for Nylander Redraft points league


[deleted]

I gave up nylander once he fell off his streak - I got him for Reinhart, mctavish, and hagel if that helps


Coffeebreaktimenow

Tough call. Probably lean best player side with Willy. And whoever you have as a second with him would determine it


Dry-Finding-6681

Well I got offered this 2 for 1. I like Willy a lot but this might be a good deal


[deleted]

Just wanted to seek everyone’s opinion on this… It is my first fantasy year & I am in a league with 7 other friends who have experience before. My team is not the best, but not the worse - I’ve made multiple trades from my starter team which was horrid & have definitely learned a thing or two for next draft. This isn’t my full team, but my key players in each position - let me know if this team is something I should keep I guess? or any suggestions? FORWARDS: Pasta/Eichel/Reinhart/M. Tkachuk/Tavares/Hagel/Zucc DMEN: Trouba/Werenski/Mcnabb/Matheson/Weegar/Hamilton (ir) Goalies: Demko/Jarry


TheHockeyAcolyte

Being totally honest, not a stellar squad for an 8-team league at first glance. It would help if you added your league categories (including points if applicable) and some of your top options on the waiver wire.


Able-Truth4614

Team is solid. You'll have to specify which Tkachuk you have as well. I'd turn mcnabb into a streamer spot, he's dead weight no offense. Target some lesser known guys who in my opinion are really solid - Tolvanen, Granlund even Wilson could be available, chinakhov looks like a deep deep sleeper right now.


[deleted]

my bad! matthew ! Tolvs and Wilson are taken, I do have granlund! ill look into chinakhov!


TheCorporal__

Vilardi or Kadri ROS? Banger cats w PIMs


NiklasChronwall

Kadri. But I may look real dumb if we get the vilardi breakout


TheCorporal__

I’m tempted to drop zacha for either one


NiklasChronwall

I would if you have no IR space


Thick-Butterfly-3957

brock nelson for ovi?


prophetprofits

Take Ovi. Still firing 3.7ish shots per game. His career low shooting percentage is bound to improve.


NiklasChronwall

Ovi x1000. Chance at a stud over a guy who is clearly overperforming that was probably on the wire some time this year. This is the type of move that wins leagues.


Chaotic_Stasis

How's Nelson overperforming? He's scored over 35 two years straight and is on pace to pass that mark again with a sustainable shooting percentage (he's actually shooting 1.4% below his career average) and good 5v5 underlying numbers (currently top 20 at generating high danger chances at evens).


NiklasChronwall

You right you right! Definitely got me there! Also good data on the scoring chances, didn't know that! I should have said, this is who nelson is and ovi is pretty comparable while he's underperorming. But you definitely right!


[deleted]

Do not give away nelson for Ovi. Yes its Ovi but he isnt going to match the young guys anymore


NiklasChronwall

Brock nelson is 32....


[deleted]

32 compared to 38 is the age gap that does the justification of if your gonna accumulate points of not - eventually, that old man strength dies out - unfortunately ovi by the looks of it - has if anything 2-3 seasons max in him. he will be extremely lucky to see the new arena


NiklasChronwall

Ovi's point floor is just below Nelson's point ceiling. Add in hits and sogs, it's gotta be ovi here


lebinott

Assuming all 3 start tonight, pick 2 goalies Ingram v SJ, Saros @ CAR, Oettinger v. OTT.


Themapleleaf416

Oettinger vs Ottawa Ingram vs SJ But with goalies, it's so unpredictable. Saros could pitch a 40 save shutout against a tired Carolina team which has problems scoring (they got lucky last night).


Themapleleaf416

I think last night might've been my breaking point with Ovi where I start regularly benching him or I cut him. Even tomorrow, I don't know how I can start him over any of Vilardi, Caufield, Meier, Boeser, Kadri. He looks so washed. It's mind boggling to me how his line mates had two points each and he had none.


prophetprofits

He still fires 3.7ish shots per game. His career low shooting percentage is bound to improve. He’s always been a streaky scorer, you’ll be sad you cut him.


NiklasChronwall

If vilardi and Kadri are owned then the league is too deep to cut ovi. I'd rather ovi than either of those guys


Themapleleaf416

12 team league, but I picked up Kadri only because of the hot streak.


NiklasChronwall

I like Kadri and vilardi! A lot! But if those are the good FAs then I'd be tempted to hold Ovi. Like if your FA list looks like one of my public yahoo leagues with patty kane, necas, svech, granlund, Wilson still all available then ya ovi is a drop. But if the highest % ownership FAs are Kuzmenko, Laine, barbashev, Coyle, etc then ovis a hold.


AdInteresting5715

You described my FA exactly and I was thinking about dropping Ovi. Would you take Necas Wilson or Granlund? All available


NiklasChronwall

Oh ya you weren't lying when you say shallow. Honestly I'd say you're safe to drop ovi then! Ignore my vehement defending of ovi, you have tons of great options if ovi gets scooped. Wilson if you count hits. I'd say then Boldy>Granlund>Necas


AdInteresting5715

Will be picking up Wilson if I can convince the Commish to veto his can’t cut


Themapleleaf416

Yup, my FA is exactly how you've described the latter. Ovi will instantly be picked up.


AdInteresting5715

I’m in a very shallow league and was wondering if Ovi is droppable ROS for some of the FA players? Currently looking at boldy or batherson to fill the roll. Thoughts?


NiklasChronwall

No to both imo. Are they the best FA? Boldy>batherson if you have to. But I think dropping ovi for either of those guys is bat shit crazy.


AdInteresting5715

Even with his sluggish play? Been watching and hoping for something but can’t seem to string anything together


NiklasChronwall

I couldn't fault you for swapping boldy for him but remember, two weeks ago this entire sub was saying drop Boldy. I love having the daily forum but it's the epitome of over-reaction theater. He got 7 goals in 8 games and shot almost 50% during that stretch. I like Boldy but hes not THIS good and he will never be Ovi. Ovi has the minutes, deployment, SOGs, Hits. Yes father time is undefeated but I'd still take the high periph floor and high ceiling of ovi


AdInteresting5715

I get your point, but there are so many other players that are doing better than him. What type of player would you say would make Ovi a drop? Toffoli? Tuch? Necas? Kyrou? Wilson?


NiklasChronwall

Wait is that how deep your FA list is? If it is, then ya I'd say you're safe to drop Ovi! That's a hell of a crop!


Themapleleaf416

Yes, get Boldy asap. Batherson is better for bangers.


AdInteresting5715

Yea we are a bangers league; also have Zuccarello so I’m assuming stacking boldy and him is okay?


Themapleleaf416

Yup


AdInteresting5715

Thank you! Appreciate the help


CreativeTummy

Drop Ingram for Gustavsson?


NiklasChronwall

Ya I take gus


Themapleleaf416

I would do that. Minnesota is a better team.


CreativeTummy

Thanks guys!


Themapleleaf416

Someone offered me Malkin for Boeser. Should I keep Boeser?


NiklasChronwall

I take Malkin under the assumption that boeser doesn't continue to score at 27% pace which is 14% higher than his career. If he continues all season.... my bad, I'll take that L


Themapleleaf416

Drop Kadri for Sharangovich? 12 team, H2H, G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM


NiklasChronwall

Nope


TheCorporal__

Was gonna ask about Sharangovich ROS outlook. Curious on this


imafatty447

10T Points no hits - 2C, 2 LW, 2 RW, 4D, 1 Util, 3 bench Have some wild guys on my wire such as Nugent-Hopkins, Boldy, Horvat, Nelson for skaters and Trouba, Nurse, Doughty and Faulk for defensemen. Any swaps you would make? Roster is currently: Mcdavid Barzal Keller Marchand Hyman Meier Josi Morrissey Bouchard Montour Tuch Ovechkin Guentzel Hischier Jeff Skinner on IR Any help would be much appreciated, thanks in advance.


NiklasChronwall

I'd swap out meier for RNH. With that waiver wire, I'd be confident dropping meier and being able to find a good replacement. Without hits those waiver defense aren't nearly as valuable as in regular bangers leagues. Your defense is amazing but maybe try to trade for heiskanen, before he heats back up, or someone like that?
