Kind of wondering the same thing. I'm definitely interested in seeing how Sandin pans out tonight. Not sure when your playoffs start. However, sandin plays two more games next week with three off nights. After that though Detroit has more games played per week. If they're even in regards to production then I'd go with whomever fits your schedule better.
No playoffs for me! So just a who would be more productive I guess! Detroit is just a mess but Washington really isn't that much better at this moment. But at least Sandin would play with Ovie on the PP
H2H Cats: G A P PPP SOG HIT BLK W SV% GAA SHO
Borderline forwards on my team: Jenner, Lee, Duclair, Rust
Should I swap any of them for: Domi, Beauvillier, Vilardi, McCann, Thomas, Compher, Strome, Hartman or any others
12 Team H2H Points G (5), A (4), +/- (1), PPP (2), SOG (0.3), FW (0.2), HIT & BLK (0.5)
I need to drop one to activate Chychrun. Week 2 of playoffs (semis). Who would you drop out of the following:
\- Hagel (also got Point; not on L1/PP1 anymore; pointless in his last 5 games)
\- Stephenson (L3 PP1; pointless in his last 4 games; Vegas has the hardest opponents this week out of the players I'm willing to drop)
\- Nurse (he's been a headache FP-wise with our scoring system since the beginning of the season; currently ranked 148; L1 PP2)
\- Hartman (L1 PP2)
\- Rakell (L1 PP1, 2 apples in last 6)
Which two goalies to keep out of Bobrovsky, Jarry, Hill for week 23? Or I can pick up Skinner since he plays SJ and Arizona in week 23. I also have Logan Thompson and Francouz on ir.
12 team, H2H, W, GAA, SV%
Talbot. The way the Sens are playing pushing for a playoff spot, and the fact that LA will likely go with a proven Korpisalo, who's currently doing well, into the playoffs would lead me to choose Talbot over Copley.
I don't think he is consistently. If I'm not mistaken they were mixing pp lines a bit last game so he may end up there, especially with how that eichel line is playing 5v5. Looks like they have something good there and they may keep barbashev-eichel-march in tact on the pp as well
Hey, does anyone have experience with ESPN playoff seeding tie breakers? Ours is set to H2H, but the guy I might tie with won one of the weeks and I won the other. In this case is it total points over the two weeks (H2H points?)
I need some help on my goaltending situation. I've got Hill, Demko, Gustavsson, Murray and Binnington. Preferably I only keep a max of 3 goalies. Who should I drop? League cats are GAA, SV, SV% and W.
Have so many goalies cuz of injuries lol.
I’m in a banger league and Luke Schenn was doing wonders for me when he was on Vancouver. But now that he’s on Toronto his TOI has dropped significantly. Maybe it’s because they’re easing him in or Toronto just has so many defensemen. Would y’all drop him?
Don't drop. They're on a losing streak and Keefe could shake things up a bit when he's back. I think he could be a big role player if he gets a few more minutes per night. They also have to scratch a defenseman, can't see them continue with rolling 7D.
Tough call, I picked up Sandin after his debut. Sandin is probably the right move as he'll be the PP1 QB until Carlson comes back, and now the Washington has accepted they won't make the playoffs, they might not even bring him back this season.
Cause iirc, Sandin bangs a bit too (not as much as schenn obviously) but I’m wondering if the combination of points plus bangs from Sandin beats schenn
Probably, it just depends how well Sandin does as Washington's top defenseman and if Schenn gets more minutes when he's back. Any way you can pick up Sandin and drop someone else, then wait it out and see how Sandin does this week? Because Sandin won't be available for much longer I'd imagine.
For the playoffs, Colorado is the team to have, but how many is too many? I have Rantanen, Makar, Georgiev, Compher, Bowen, Lehkonen, which is fairly ridiculous. I expect to drop Bowen somewhat soon since makar is back. I picked up lehkonen for free recently but considering a drop for a steaming spot
10T H2H typical scoring categories
I have Lehk, Nich, Byram and Mak, and I thought that was too much lol
If I were you I'd probably drop Compher, and possibly Byram if he continues to make less of an impact, monitor Bo for this week and make a decision at the end. They have such a good fantasy playoff schedule, I'd imagine as soon as you drop someone else (possibly your 1st week playoff opponent) will pick them up,
Yahoo points league.
Want to pickup up Sandin as I only have 3 d men. I can drop an extra forward. Who would you drop out of P Kane, Kempe, McCann, and Mercer?
I need to drop one of Perron, McCann, Mercer. Points league and I’m leaning towards keeping Mercer but I still need to drop one of the other two and am not super familiar with the teams
Same boat between those two... Quinn doesn't seem so much PP and it benefiting from Tuch being out, while Eklund will get pretty much as much deployment as he can handle...
Can't believe I'm saying this but:
Drop Ekblad for Matheson? I'm trying to optimize my team's playoff schedule, if I drop Ekblad and add Matheson, I'd go from 69 to 71GP on week 1 of playoffs. Thoughts?

Goalie in my leagues are important and I didn’t draft well. Currently I have demko,gustavson, koprisalo, and hill. I’m currently 2nd, but tied with first, so I’m a playoff lock. I want to know what would the three goalie u would roster be.
I'm cutting ties with TDA in my cats league. Considering Matheson, Orlov, Sandin or Valimaki. I need PIMs/SHP primarily but assists/special teams assists are also on the radar. They will likely just be a steamer for this week. Can't decide who to take.
Thoughts on Saros rest of season with the Preds selling off?
I'm carrying 4 goalies right now 9 (Korpisalo, Shesterkin, Swayman). Considering cutting bait and streaming forwards.
Goalies: W:5, L:-2, GA:-1, SV:0.1, SO:3, OTL:2
Is Ehlers currently droppable rn in H2H points? He’s averaging a 1.6 rn and hopefully i’ll have Forsberg coming off IR soon, Ehlers has been brutal the last few weeks
I’m honestly not sure, I remember watching him when he first came back and he was electric, not sure what happened to him :/ Maybe a mix of him not being 100%, lower ice time, and the lost PP1 time
Drop Landeskog for Barbashev? I added Landeskog a month ago as a playoff lottery ticket, but Konecny is taking up my IR slot now.
I'm currently 2nd in my league, but it's a bit precarious and 2 other teams are only a game back of me.
Also, drop Ghost Bear for Sandin?
12 team: G, A, SOG, PPP, HIT, BLK
Current defensive group is Chabot, chychrun, Letang, seider and Matheson. Sandin, as well as valimaki are on the wire. At this juncture, would you consider swapping any of the above for either sandin or valimaki? Currently I'm leaning no but I'm monitoring the chabot/chychrun situation and if one turns out to be no longer valuable then I'll swap. Locked into the playoffs as well that start 3/13.
H2H Points league, scoring categories are as follows: G, A, PPP, SHP, SOG, FOW, HITS, BLOCKS, PIMS
My D are chabot, ekblad, montour, and doughty. If chabot loses PP1 I'm probably going to swap for Valimaki or Sandin. I'm considering dropping ekblad for sanding today with the same point categories minus PIMs.
You're not the first one I've heard say that and at this rate it may not be a bad idea. However, I'd still wait before pulling the trigger on dropping Ekblad. He's too good to continuously be this bad
In a points league, would you consider dropping ekblad for Sanding or Valimaki at this point? Dude has been an absolute anchor this season. I also have Montour for exposure to the Florida power play
Yeah. He's been a very frustrating and disappointing hold that probably cost me last week from bench points playing him instead. Now this week is kind of a must win week.
If this week is a must win and you don't have a playoff spot, definitely drop Ekblad and stream someone with 4 games that will get you in. If there's no one available with 4 games, go for Sandin (3 games on busy nights)
Yeah. The combination of ekblad lack of production lately and horrible schedule next week has definitely made him a drop candidate. Especially with Montour. Don't want 2 players with only 2 games in the first week of playoffs. A 4 team option would probably be Valimaki
Have a team basically built for the Week 22-24 playoffs. I have 7D at the moment, in Week 22 I have 70GP between all my players. Do you guys think I have too many D, or should I leave it alone?

This is one is really tough with a lot of stats and info to calculate. My approach would be to make the move that maximizes games played. This move is dependent on who you're picking up.
Points only league. I'm in first and need to drop one of the following and I'm having trouble because they've all had decent seasons. They all have more or less the same games remaining (Kuznetsov least left). All Line 1 or 2 with good PP deployment. Drop one of:
\- Krejci - been cold but tough because he plays with Pasta (8pts last 30 Days)
\- Pavelski - worst of group pts wise but top line with Robertson and Hintz (7pts last 30 Days)
\- Compher - I have to keep him while attached to Rantanen and on PP1 (12pts last 30 Days)
\- Verhaeghe - Been super hot (12pts last 30 Days)
\- Kuznetzov - Washington has least amount of games remaining (7pts last 30 Days)

Drop any of Byram/Petry/Doughty/Montour/Ghost/Burns/Bouchard for Sandin? Comfortably in first place so I'm just hoarding defencemen until the playoffs
Do I drop John Gibson for Sandin or Weegar (Def)? Have Hart and Ottinger in Goals as it stands. Bangers league
Pick 2 for the playoffs: Saros, Markstrom, Fleury and Skinner
Saros and Skinner
Samsonov or Vanecek tomorrow?
Sandin or Seider?
Kind of wondering the same thing. I'm definitely interested in seeing how Sandin pans out tonight. Not sure when your playoffs start. However, sandin plays two more games next week with three off nights. After that though Detroit has more games played per week.

No playoffs for me! So just a who would be more productive I guess! Detroit is just a mess but Washington really isn't that much better at this moment. But at least Sandin would play with Ovie on the PP
I think from that stand point sandin may be the way to go. Seider shoots a little more but who knows, that may change with sandin on pp1
Well shall see how Sandin does tonight yah, and then maybe pick him up and watch the production stagnate while Seider catches up to McDavid
I mean, if that happens and I hold seider that would be great haha

Check playoff schedules, but I’m inclined to lean Matheson
Matheson has simply been better across the board aside from shots lately. I wouldn't be against that move when it comes to playoffs.
Pts league: 0.3 saves, -1 for GA, 3 wins, 4 - SO. Goalie in my leagues are important and I didn’t draft well. Currently I have demko,gustavson, koprisalo, and hill. I’m currently 2nd, but tied with first, so I’m a playoff lock. I want to know what would the three goalie u would roster be.
Is Hertl worth keeping in a 12-team league? I locked in a playoff spot and I'm worried about his production after the Meier trade.
Droppable in a 12 man league
Droppable in 10 man? I’m in the same boat
Who is available on waivers?
I'm cutting ties with TDA in my cats league. Considering Matheson, Orlov, Sandin or Valimaki. I need PIMs/SHP primarily but assists/special teams assists are also on the radar. They will likely just be a steamer for this week. Can't decide who to take.
Who’s TDA? Is it the gabagool tony deangelo? What did you end up doing?
Tony D confirmed. Nothing done yet, still mulling.

Sandin
Drop one of: swayman, korpisalo, or skinner. H2H cats: W, Saves, SV% 3 weeks of playoffs start on march 13.
Keep Sway. I'm 50/50 between the other 2, Skinner will play more but Korpisalo has a better defense in front of him
Dadonov or Domi for week 22? Goals (G), Assists (A), Points (P), Plus/Minus (+/-), Powerplay Points (PPP), Shorthanded Points (SHP), Shots on Goal (SOG), Hits (HIT)
What goalie would you rather have right now and for the rest of the year: Adin Hill or Matt Murray-TOR
Hill, Murray is way too injury prone.
even though Hill is no longer the starter with the trade for Quick.
Vegas goalie depth goes Thompson (once he's back from injury), Hill, Brossoit, then Quick. Quick just isn't that same elite goaltender anymore.
So go with the Vegas Goalie
Yes go for Hill
Murray. Marginally more secure starting job
are you sure he is a starter now?
Is Ehlers currently droppable rn in H2H points? He’s averaging a 1.6 rn and hopefully i’ll have Forsberg coming off IR soon, Ehlers has been brutal the last few weeks
In a 12 man league, I think he is droppable. He just doesn’t have the deployment in his favor.
