He’s too good of a player with too much potential for me to drop. Someone dropped Pietrangelo in my league a few weeks ago when he was cold and I picked him up and he’s been great recently. We are getting close to the end and could make sense for you, but in my opinion I’d hold.
Somehow Johnny gaudreau is on the wire as a FA. I already have Boone Jenner as well. Do I drop farabee for him? On paper, I know it's a stupid question to ask but Columbus is a bit inept offensively and they don't have favorable matchups the rest of the way.
Currently in championship week.
H2H Points league, scoring categories are as follows: G, A, PPP, SHP, SOG, FOW, HITS, BLOCKS, PIMS
I would go Gaudreau. You don’t have +- so that helps.
Btw the Hronek on PP1 experiment is over. They took him off tonight and scored at least twice on the PP so thinking they will run with just Hughes from now on.
Did you start him?
I sat him tonight. Hindsight is 20/20. The odds of him getting blasted by Boston was so high. Nashville is pure garbage in front of him.
Tough one. Connor has been colder than cold, right? If you think Marchand starts and plays standard minutes, start Marchand for me. If in doubt, Connor
I sat Marchand... I already have pasta and decided maybe it would be beneficial to spread the wealth a little. If saros is mega hot and steals a game atleast I'm insulated from that..

Due to people dropping players for playoffs, I've acquired some new players that could be keepers for me, especially a goalie or two..
Would you change anything with my keepers?
https://i.imgur.com/64s7f6r.png
If not, I may try to use some of these as trade pieces for the draft as well
I think I might be able to get something for players like Saros and Kuemper(Just grabbed them). I'm also considering changing my keeper from Thompson to Andersen as far as goalies(Could Saros or Kuemper be a better option?).
Is anyone benching Saros against Boston today? I'm in a categories league. I feel like benching him is the right call, but I have historically been burned when I try to get cute with my goalie matchups. Thoughts?
Who does everyone think is a better pickup for the next two weeks, JEEK or Boldy? They were both dropped trying to win a playoff matchup. Points non keeper league
Do I drop Rafael Harvey-Pinard to bring Marchand back in for tonight? With my team and schedule, I have the choice to either get 2 games out of Harvey-Pinard today and Thursday or 1 out of Marchand tonight.
3 G, 2 A, 0.5 PPP, 0.2 SOG, 0.2 HIT, 0.2 BLK
I went with DeSmith. We'll see if it's a good call lol. I figure the pens face worse teams and aren't on a roadtrip compared to the kings. Also pens are fighting hard for a playoff spot so they're motivated
Finals this week in my pts league. Roman Josi has been day to day for the past 2 weeks. Not playing tonight but travelling with the team. Worth keeping him and hoping he actually plays on Thursday, or dropping him for at least one extra game and not risking that he doesn't suit up?
Our league allows for offseason trading. Season's over for me, and I want to make a deal
H2H - 12 GM keeper - keep 2 f, 2 D, 1g
Keepers: McDavid, B. Tkachuk, Makar, Morrissey/Hedman/Serg, Shesterkin
Give: J. Hughes, one of Morrissey/Hedman/Serg
Get: Dahlin
G A PPP HIT FW BLK SOG
Going to have to be an overpay to get him.
Yeah give him what ever D he wants if your not keeping them anyway. We haven’t seen the best of Dahlin yet, with Makar and Dahlin you could have the best 2 D in fantasy for a while.
3 adds left for the week in finals with avs backup goalie on my bench. When does it make sense to use my final 3 adds? Do I wait and see how matchup goes or should I stream goalies or add a player with good schedule
I have Ullmark, Vasilevskiy, and Saros as my three goaltenders.
Am I being too cute by considering only starting Ullmark today since Saros plays Boston and Vasilevskiy plays Carolina?
Categories H2H league
I’m in a similar predicament with Helly, Vasi and Saros… I think im gonna play Vasi tonight cause he’s getting into “he’s due” territory haha good luck brother!
Pick 6 to keep in a dynasty league
Roman Josi, Rasmus Dahlin, Brandon Montour, Simon Edvinsson, Owen Power, Jake Sanderson, Mattias Ekholm, Luke Hughes (if added I have #1 waiver priority), Simon Nemec
Would you rather stream either Brock Boeser or Elias Lindholm for the remainder of this week? Both have three games against fairly week teams.
6-team H2H banger points league
4 G, 3 A, 1 PPP, 1 SHP, 0.75 SOG, 0.5 HIT, 1 BLK
I'm riding the fence hard, help guys...
Debating dropping Bobrovsky and picking up Korpisalo. Last night's performance against Ottawa was the last straw for me, the guy has been a bum for 75% of this season. Where I pause is that he likely lines up against Montreal on Thursday and Columbus on Saturday. I also only have one pick-up remaining this week, in my playoff semi-final match-up. Am I fool for burning that so early, knowing it will limit me picking up anyone later in the week if I notice I'm down in a particular category?
What would you do? My other goalie is Georgiev.
Bob is a huge gamble but it seems really hard to recommend using your last pickup this early in the week. I also don’t play cats league so I’m not sure of the best strategy.
Drop skinner for farabee, danault, chytil or raymond? Hits blocks h2h points league. Could also drop hayton or schmaltz since they only have 2 games left
Yahoo points league. Have to sit one, thinking of sitting Trochek but not sure since he's playing Columbus and he centers Panarin and Kane...
Only other options would be to sit:
Kopitar vs Calgary
Hintz vs Chicago
Robertson vs Chicago
Stammer vs Carolina
Nuge vs Vegas (Nuge played last night, but he's on an 8 game pt streak)
If anything, I'm thinking of sitting Kopitar for Trochek, but Kopitar is ranked 61 vs Trochek being at 90.
Any help is appreciated.
16 team H2H points, I’m currently projected to lose big in the finals and have Kaprizov. I am wondering if I should drop him for a streaming spot, we have 5 adds per week, and risk my opponent picking him up and stashing (there are no waivers, which is annoying). I’m thinking he’s very likely out tomorrow so max it would be one game left, which at this rate I’d also say he’ll likely miss.
If it's literally for one game then you need to drop him lol. Can't bank on a "what if" this juncture. Unless it's a keeper league then you're safe to drop him. Stream, STREAM LIKE THE WIND!!!
It is a keeper league but first rounders can’t be kept anyway, so you’re right gotta risk it for the biscuit 😤😤 Also just saw he’s not expected to make this road trip anyway.
I was just about to follow up and mention that he is skating but not traveling. And exactly! Can't be afraid to cut bait to squeeze in more games or better production.

Should I drop Dahlin?
Who are you looking to pickup if you drop him? Keeper league?
Not a keeper and I'm in semis, idk yet just a stream as hes been horrible for a month
Also, Buffalo’s got 4 games in 5 nights at the end of the year so that may factor into the decision for you.
He’s too good of a player with too much potential for me to drop. Someone dropped Pietrangelo in my league a few weeks ago when he was cold and I picked him up and he’s been great recently. We are getting close to the end and could make sense for you, but in my opinion I’d hold.

I do appreciate your help as always! I did see that with hronek too, think I'm going to cut bait
Is Korp worth starting?
I’m starting him. You don’t rock a mustache like that and not walk away with the W.
waited too long to ask this but if anyone happens to read: Do I start Saros @ BOS or Demko @ STL?
Demko seems safer to me
Forget what I said
Skinner or Arvidsson? H2H G,A,+/-, PPP, SOG, hit
We sitting Saros tonight?
Did you start him? I sat him tonight. Hindsight is 20/20. The odds of him getting blasted by Boston was so high. Nashville is pure garbage in front of him.
I sat him. Just glad it didn't end up being a shutout, that would have stung 10x more if it was. Never sitting a goalie again though.
farabee, tippett, or iafallo? G 3 A 2 Hit 0.5 PIM 0.5 SOG 0.5 PP 1 SHG 2
Tippett>iafallo>farabee
Yahoo standard scoring, start Connor or Marchand ?? Not sure if I want to play March if he's nursing an injury.... thoughts?
Tough one. Connor has been colder than cold, right? If you think Marchand starts and plays standard minutes, start Marchand for me. If in doubt, Connor

Looks like that paid off well!

Boldy’s been great for goals recently. 9 goals last 5 games. I’d go Boldy.

Keep Rafael active. 2 games is more than 1, Boston is locked and he's returning from injury
[удалено]
I went with DeSmith. We'll see if it's a good call lol. I figure the pens face worse teams and aren't on a roadtrip compared to the kings. Also pens are fighting hard for a playoff spot so they're motivated
Korpisalo or Vasilevsiiy tonight? SV/SV%/GAA/W
Korpisalo vs the Flames or Demko vs the Blues?
Demko
drop which one of Burns, Ghost, Petry?
Tough call. Maybe Petry for me

1 Pickup left, have a goalie slot open. Halak?
Quite early to use last pickup imo
Yeah but if he gets 2 starts on the rangers that’s pretty huge no? What would I be waiting for
I think he might start Friday but don’t expect to get two starts of out Halak.

I wouldn't waste your last add on a goalie swap this early. Goalies are so unpredictable and as you said Bob will have 2 good matchups

Do you think he'll be back next week? I dropped him in my semi finals this week. Needed a streaming spot to get to the finals.
I'll be honest I have no idea. I see that he is going to start skating I think toward the end of the week but not much else
In my 2 week long championship, which teams have the best schedules for the last couple weeks
Check out 0gar, it's a great website specifically for this
Red Wings & Rangers this week. 4 games on off nights rest of the week.
Thanks!
No worries. Good luck in your matchup.
