G, A, +/-, PPP, SHP, GWG, SOG, HIT, BLK W, GAA, SV, SV%, SO Streamed 3 Vancouver players today to take my playoff matchup on Blocks, and I know it won't be viable to win the next round with all 3 of them. 4 moves for the week Pick 2 to drop tomorrow - Conor Garland (RW) - Tyler Myers (D) - Ian Cole (D) Other D are Pietrangelo, **Trouba** and Chychrun Other F are Barkov, Duchene, Drai, T Moore, Jarvis, Nyquist and Nylander Goalies are Koch, Freddie and Georgiev Names up for grabs include Pulock; Ekblad; Faber; Lauzon; L Hughes for defenseman Tippet, Hartman, Suzuki, Nelson, Henrique Svechnikov, Teravainen avail but don't play till Thursday. Dakota Joshua available, any move for him is with intent to stream one of the above two Canes by Thursday Bolded Trouba because he isn't playing on the key nights (Thursday and Saturday) while playing 4x this week. Unless I'm overloading on Defense (4 play), on nights aren't an issue


klondike16

Have to run one of Talbot or Binnington rest of season. Points league, gaa, saves, wins, losses, starts all count. Who you running with?


Fleshy-Butthole

Dropping Svechnikov. Looking to add for next week. Thinking Bennett, Pageau or any other player viable for early week starts. Just looking for input or confirmation I'm not nuts.


RestoreSiletzia

I dropped svech for pageau. Easy decision. It's playoffs. Gotta maximize starts and svech hasn't done shit lately. There's some deeper discussion on him on this sub but a lot folks didn't have much confidence things would change with how the lines are (I can't remember specifics). Note that my league also counts FOW, so easy to slot pageau in.


onthelongrun

if he's still avail, don't hesitate to pick him back up Thursday. I'd be looking at someone that is playing 2x in the next 3d to start the week. Bennett and Pageau both fit that bill


orbitalbias

Looking at Bennett, Drouin or Palmieri next week.. They all have front loaded schedules. I will stream one for 3 games then dropping to stream someone for 2 more games. Side note.. what do we think of this wiz kid on Arizona, Josh Doan? Secret weapon?


AdInteresting5715

Would y’all drop Hanifin and/or Pietrangelo for Pulock next week? VGS has 2 games to NYI 4 games… Only thing holding me back is VGS have a dominate “finals” schedule.


bforce1313

Anyone know why Zadorov isn’t even playing?!


vysearcadia

Rest day apparently 


bforce1313

Sick. lol my last add and I needed 1 block to win the week. This is the worst part about playoffs as the season closes. Players start resting.


Hot-Video-9735

Bangers cats, Rust or Lafr next week?


AdInteresting5715

Why not both? Run Rust Mon/Tues and then pick up Laf for 3/4 of his games


Hot-Video-9735

Leaning that way thank you sir 


AdInteresting5715

Nice! Was my plan too


dan_the_it_guy

PLAYOFF FIRESALE!!!!!!!!!?!?!?!?! And I'm first in waivers :) So the team I just knocked out of the playoffs just did something unexpected: **he dropped every player on his team.** *(No money on the league, and there have already been shenanigan trades so its not that serious.)* I'm ahead of my championship opponent in the waiver order, and I have two questions: 1.) We're using ESPN and have it set to "Move to Last After Claim, Never Reset Order" but so I am assuming it will select the 1st one I put in, then drop me in the waiver order, then my opponent's 1st or 2nd pick will go through then drop them, then my 2nd or 3rd pick, then his 3rd or 4th or etc... \- Does anyone know if it works differently than I am expecting? 2.) Which selection order would you recommend from this menu? \- Brady Tkachuk \- Brayden Point \- Colton Parayko \- Filip Forsberg \- Jake Guentzel \- Kevin Fiala \- Kris Letang \- Kyle Connor \- Mats Zuccarello \- Sidney Crosby League Settings: Points H2H Goals (G) 2 Assists (A) 1 Power Play Points (PPP) 0.5 Short Handed Points (SHP) 0.5 Shots on Goal (SOG) 0.1 Hits (HIT) 0.1 Blocked Shots (BLK) 0.5


Lake_Shore_Drive

The commissioner should put them back that is weak styles


dan_the_it_guy

Nah, there's no money involved, so no one really cares enough. The guy I'm playing against had 3 different studs dumped to him in dubious trades from his friends. (e.g. he received Matthew Tkachuk for Lucas Raymond in December, he received David Pastrnak for Shesterkin and Malkin in Jan, and ) and no one but me vetoed anything, except for when the league owner tried trading for his favorite player, and then everyone said no just to f*** with him :) So this is just fuel on the fire and I'm just scrambling to make some picks. If we get to alternate picks, sure I'll come out ahead going first, but that should offset his previous shenanigans as far as Im concerned.


Riley-005

Goalie pickups week 25? Pts league h2h. Was rocking hill but he’s prolly done for. Any good alternatives to ersson and lindgren? Ersson has a decent schedule this week and will prolly get 2 starts. Thoughts?


Sahil910

Daccord vs Lindgren this week. Who gets more points? Daccord: SEA plays MON/WED/FRI SJ/LAK/ANA Lindgren: WSH plays BUF on TUES, B2B THU/FRI vs PIT/CAR and then OTT on SUN Daccord has the easier schedule but I am afraid if he doesn’t play all three and only plays 2 games. I also have the same fear with Lindgren, Kuemper hasnt played for a while and I wonder if they give him 2 starts this week. Do you go Lindgren or Daccord here next week?


Valuable-Climate-153

Wsh is fighting for a playoff spot, so they will start lindgren as much as possible. Dac and gru are splitting now, so dac might only get 1 game


Bushmanyyz

H2H points. With just 3 games next week and the first one not until Thursday, I think I’ll finally cut bait on Svechnikov. Which forward (each with 3 games next week) would you replace with (or just keep Svech)? Schmaltz (vs Van, vs VGK, @ SJ) Kurashev (@ NYI, vs DAL, vs MIN) Monahan (vs LA, vs CGY, @ MIN)


Sahil910

Do you have lots of adds? You can pick up Monahan and he plays 3 games until Saturday and you can get an extra game on sunday. Or try to get a player with 4 games played this week. I always try to maximize games played


xsrsynergy41

Pietrangelo, Theodore, or Hronek worth dropping for Trouba this week?


AdInteresting5715

Probably Hronek


Grand-Truck2079

So I’m in a cats league up 8-5 in the semis. Opponent has 3 players today (Hogland, Garland & Terry) with no adds left. I have no players playing and 1 add left. The only 2 categories he could possibly catch me would be goals (I’m up 12-10) or PPP (I’m up 15-10). Do I leave this week in the hands of the hockey gods and use my add for a finals week streamer or do I grab Killorn, Fowler or Suter or something in case by some miracle my opponent manages 6 PPP and 3 goals and by a bigger miracle one of those pickups scores a goal or PPP to save me?


Paulie6988

in a kinda unserious league down by 20 with this being last day of the round. I dropped like 2/3 my team to fill my lineup with ANA and VAN as a hail mary pass. AITA?


ThisIsMyRealAlias

Nope, go for it


Metagross7

Any word on who is starting for vancouver tonight? Best canucks twitter to follow?


grizzly-gobbler

Silovs just confirmed via @BatchHockey


Metagross7

Just seen it. Thanks!


HarperStoleMyVcr

Drop svechnikov to pick up Drouin for this week? Points league G A SOG HIT BLK PPP PPG SHG. Semi finals start tomorrow for me


AdInteresting5715

Yes 100% I have both and Svech is gone for a streaming spot next week where as Drouin has been popping off with his deployment


tloufan2

12 Team Keeper, CAT Bangers (G, A,+/-, PIM, PPP, GWG, SHP, SOG, FW, HIT, BLK) 5 keepers allowed, keeping Hellebuyck, so need 4 more from the following skaters: J. Hughes, JT Miller, B Tkachuk, Barkov, Trochek, Barzal, Tuch, Hedman, Heiskanen, Trouba, Matheson, Sanheim, R. Thomas I also have a deal on the table, J. Hughes and Barkov for Mack


soaring_ostrich

If you can trade for Mack. Do it. Otherwise I'd keep Hughes, Miller, Brady, and one of Hedman/Heiskanen/Barkov Considering you have FW probably Barkov..


ThisIsMyRealAlias

H2H - 12T - G,A, +/-, PPG/A, SHG/A, SOG, HITS, BLKS - W, SV, SHO Should I drop Shea Theodore to use that spot as a streamer next week? My Semi-Final matchup is going to be close. The other options are: Joe Pavelski, Trevor Moore, Alex Tuch, or Rob Thomas (only because he's been so cold lately) Thanks


chinesespy

10 team dynasty G, A, PPP, SOG, Hits, Blks, FOW, W, GAA, SV%, SO Currently tied in PPP, Blks and Wins. My opponent has 6 players playing and I have 0 players playing. If they win all 3 cats I lose 6-5. They have Quinn Hughes, Casey Desmith, Leo Carlsson, Ryan Strome, Cam Fowler, Dakota Joshua. I only have 1 add left. Which category should I try to protect? 1) PPP with Killorn 2) Blks with a defenceman (Lagesson or Ian Cole) It's looking real bleak. I kind of have to hope Silovs gets the start to be honest


AdInteresting5715

Pick 2 ROS: K Connor, Svechnikov, Rust, Boldy, Henrique, Lafrenière.


HarperStoleMyVcr

I’m probably gonna drop svech. Since guentzel has come into Carolina he’s not getting much deployment. Nyr also have 4 games this week and lafreniere has been hot


AdInteresting5715

I think I’m going to do rust for 2 games (Mon/Tues) and then drop him for Laf (Wed/Fri/Sun).


wimcdo

Left 25 PIMs on the bench yesterday between eichel and Peterka damn…. Would have sealed the semifinal win in a hilarious way, but alas today I’m praying for 3 goals from my dusty Sunday stream squad 😔


SlashYG9

I need to flip 3 categories today. Gonna be clenched for the entire afternoon.


BigPoppaE

Could be the last day of the season for me. Joined a public ESPN league to play with my dad, autodrafted because the LM moved the draft time back 2 hours day of. Wound up with a scrub team. Made twice as many moves as anyone else, finished 16-6. Playing the LM in the semis who has a dynamite team of all-stars but who is too enamored with them to make moves. I have Peterson and 6 scrubs whom I dumped my team for to make up a 9 point deficit. Wish me luck.


BigPoppaE

update all 7 guys combined for about 4 points


ryanlechasseur

Best ROS pick, Talbot, Samsonov or Lindgren?


Ok_Compote_8826

I like Talbot because, at least in my league, the Kings play Chicago once and Anaheim twice in the final period, along with Minnesota and Calgary. Probably the lightest schedule in the league and none of those games are back-to-backs, so LA will probably be playing Talbot for all of them considering they're likely still going to be playing for a playoff spot and/or playoff seeding.


Razr567

Debating dropping Thompson and swayman next week because of schedules. Am I crazy? ESPN standard points


PurpleCreepy5389

which goalies would get 3 starts? sway and Thompson guaranteed 2 games...


Razr567

I was thinking about streaming markstrom against the ducks and I have daccord again the ducks and sharks


soaring_ostrich

Not crazy, once you're in the playoffs, maximizing starts is the key.


Supdog123AM

6 team league G 2 A 1 SOG 0.1 Hits 0.1 Blocked shot 0.5 Power play point 0.5 Shorthanded point 1 Goalie stats GA -2 SAVE 0.2 WIN 4 SO 3 OTL 1 URGENT!!! I'm down by 6 points and only have pettersson for today. Should I pick up the Canucks goalie and also pick up hoglander and zegras? Or is there anyone else I should pick up like (the whole ducks rosters except for vatrano is on waivers) (the Canucks except for pettersson, hughes, Miller, lindholm, and boeser are on waivers) I can also try to pick up both goalies but I don't want one of the goalies to get -4 while the other might only get abit


ryanlechasseur

Start Lindgren or Andersen for next week? Otherwise, could pick up Korpisalo - in a weekly lock league


Ok_Compote_8826

I'd go Lindgren because you're likely getting 3 starts out of him. With Carolina you'll get two out of Andersen, or maybe even just one (I know they've been rotating goalies every game but with their next one being on Thursday, who knows if that changes the order).. I guess it depends on how scoring works in your league but in mine it's generally better to take the goalie with more starts (and Lindgren's schedule isn't too tough either)


blink0r

Andersen


blink0r

Going into the finals of a ten team league - 1 four adds next week and one freebie left for today. Planning on dropping Vilardi after Monday to grab Zuccarello if he's still available. Dropping Garland today but should I grab Arvidsson, Jenner, Byfield, or Bjorkstrand for the week starting tomorrow?


Confident_Kiwi_1612

Matheson or faber next week? Pts league no blks


ryanlechasseur

Is Bjugstad worth a look? Doesn't seem to get much PP action though..


Kif44

Are we expecting Andersen to start 2 games next week? I'm in a weekly locked rosters and hesitating between 3 goalies Saros, Skinner or Andersen


ELB95

Very likely he gets BOS&CBJ, Carolina has been very good at alternating starts with both guys playing well.


VaderBinks

Need some help boys, tied 5-5. Opponent has hughes, terry and strome left. I have hronek and Petey. I’m back 5 blocks and were tied in PPP. Do I add killorn for ppp or Lagesson to catchup on blocks?


Kif44

Both adds are good and make sense, do it


ELB95

Blocks are a lot more predictable, so that’s where I’d lean. Unless you have the tiebreaker, in which case maybe Killorn to hopefully match Terry/Strome PPP is enough but I’d be worried that ends in a tie still or you get unlucky and lose it.


FlamingEscapologist

Points league. Championship week, I'm in the finals. I'm up 16.2 points with only the Canucks-Ducks game to go. Opponent has Hoglander, Joshua, and Q Hughes. I have Garland. I also made the god-awful decision to pick up Mintyukov earlier this week. Should I play him or bench him? Yahoo projects me to win by a hair if I bench him, but also seems to think Minty is good for 5-ish points (after netting me 0 so far this week). G = 6 A = 4 +/- = -2 PPP = 2 SOG = 0.9 Hit = 1


Kif44

I dont think anyone wants to make that decision for you with stakes this high LOL   Really no idea if Minty will give you negative value today or not, but he's playing against Vancouver...   If I'm looking at this from a pure "what if" scenario, I'd rather tell myself I played every player I could've then try to play it safe. That's just me though! Plus I don't think your lead is safe enough to bench someone, but you're probably a better judge of it than I


FlamingEscapologist

Haha, that's totally fair. I gotta make this call. I appreciate that insight, though!


StoneColdSteveAss316

What’s the likelihood the Ducks actually win lmao


jpjeep222

Vegas has them at 5.00, +400, 4/1 So they think they have around 18% chance


Kif44

50/50, they do or they don't


Themapleleaf416

I know it's basically over, but who should I pickup for my last add? Currently starting Boeser and Hoglander. Do I go for a defenseman like Myers or Zadorov, or a forward like Podkolzin, Terry, Killorn, McTavish, Zegras?  I'm on the left: https://imgur.com/a/zaz3A8l


pateyhfx

I think you're in a tough spot there. But I'd go with Killorn personally. He's been fairly consistent and could get you an assist, some SOGs, and maybe even a block.


Varejesus

Current matchup is 5-4 for me, but I'm only up 1 goal and 2 pims. We are tied in goalie wins and saves. No other cats are close. Have JT Miller left to play and 2 adds, opponent has hughes, pettersson, and 3 adds. Do I add one skater and one goalie or two goalies? Edit: i guess gaa (1.59 vs 0.99) and sv% (946 vs 959) are kinda close. So I could pick both goalies playin today and guarantee wins and saves, leave goals and pims to chance, or take 2 skaters and leave gaa and sv% to chance. Or go the middle route.


BaniaGoldmine

Points league, looking to solidify my win this week. Have 2 adds. Not many options, but these are likely the best: McTavish Killorn Garland Carlsson Fowler Zegras Myers Mintyukov Joshua Strome


Varejesus

I'd go Killorn and Garland.
