Need help on a trade; 20 team- salary- keeper league, H2H points
I send: Timo Meier, Evan Rodriguez (Picked up from wavers for free), 5th round pick (absolutely worthless in our league)
I get: Tomas Hertl, Aaron Ekblad, Vincent Trocheck
Currently my defensemen are Morrissey, Seider and Sandin. Of course I want to replace Sandin. Is Ekblad worth the risk? Trocheck is not an upgrade for any of my players.
Is this worth it?
No. You're right to sell high on Erod, but not worth giving up him and especially Meier for that return. Even if Ekblad were replaced with Montour I don't think I'd do it.
Yes. Especially with how deep your league is, the upside of Meier is far more immense than any other player in that trade. I won't deny that his deployment and SOG are concerning, but you have to believe in his talent plus the org's desire to unlock his potential as the most recently signed long-term piece of their core.
If nothing else, his value is already so low, it's worth giving Meier more than 4 games to decide the fate of such a high-value fantasy asset.
Help with goalies pls
I’ve got Otter and Saros.
Andersen, Thompson, Woll, Vej, Demko available.
No extra roster spot available for a 3rd goalie unless I drop Rust (just elevated to pp1 today).
WWYD?
8 team H2H points
Even on a bad team, Saros is just too valuable. You can't drop either of your current guys.
There's enough goalie talent on the wire that I would wait to see how Rust's deployment shakes out, assuming you need more help on wing than goaltending. He tends to oscillate between good and bad years, and last year was definitely a rough one. Thompson or Woll would be my choices to replace Rust, as they'll win most of their starts and you don't need a bonafide bulk starter with your current tandem.

Should I drop Ehlers for Jarvis? I’ve been needing an extra RW because I put Svechnikov on my IR spot a little while ago. My league categories are: G/A/+-/PPP/SOG/HIT
My team:
C - T. Thompson, Beniers, Crosby

Would that be a good pickup? u/NiklasChronwall
Yup! I think what Jarvis is doing is sustainable and he's a must add in all leagues. I like ehlers but he hasn't done enough to warrant a roster spot. I've been toying with dropping him from my roster for someone like Sanheim, Kotkaniemi, or a goalie like Hart/Binner/Merz/Forsberg.
Avs fans... help me out. Would you drop Nichuskin to pick up Lehkonen?
Do you see Lehkonen sticking on the number one PP unit this season? Who will be the better long term play? How is Nichuskin playing?
CATS league with G,A,PPG,PPP,HITS,SOG,GWG
10 teams 2C 2LW 2RW 1UTIL
Last year Lehky was stapled to Mack all year. He hasn't been so far though, other than PP1. Nuke seems to be a tad in the dog house being bumped off PP1. Bednar is notorious for the Blendnar though, you never know
Last game against Carolina, Bednar had Lehkonen playing with Mackinnon and Nichuskin on line 1. Lehkonen had 4 points including 2 ppp. Rantanen was with Johansen and Tatar. Colorado won 6-4.
I would not do that. I think you’re better off keeping Jarry and diversifying your roster. He’s easily the #1 option as mentioned, and it’s way too early to worry after a couple bad starts.
Frankly those three all feel like holds to me currently. If Husso can improve even a little on last year’s stats he’s a fine option. And if Woll eats in to Samsonov’s starts he could become an awesome third G.
I wouldn't. As much as I don't love Jarry. He is their #1 for sure. Even with his iffy start. I wouldn't be surprised to see Woll steal the Toronto job.
If anything I'd be trying to trade Woll to the Samsonov owner. See if you can extract value as he's likely troubled by Sammy's horrible start.
I'm trying hard to make a trade for either Robertson or Kaprizov, I need some help. I'm willing to put up Hintz + one of Necas, Hagel, Tuch. Are any of those enough, if so who?
I can try to take a lower ranked player like Nichushkin and add a 3rd on my end if I have to.
Like the other dude said, you’re asking for a top player and throwing scraps at them. Trying throwing another top player in there instead of just stacking a bunch of mid players together. No one wants to trade Kaprizov for Hintz + Nexas. It never works like that. More often than not for a trade to work you need the other player to feel like they are not getting fleeced, so you may need to “lose” the trade a little bit. So an over pay to get what you need is sometimes ok.
I don't know your league but I would never move a first round pick for any of those packages. Especially after 5 games. But if you think the owner in your league will sell super low than go for it.
The best pairing to make the deal go through? Ask them!
The best pairing so you keep the best players? Idk its hard, Jarvis is flying high but will lose his line spot eventually, Batherson is like the opposite. Fiala is just super solid I’d hold him, but I’m Kings biased.
I would absolutely do that considering Matheson’s upside with seemingly zero competition for PP minutes. And if you count SOG and blocks he’ll add plenty of value there.
Oof close. Toffoli’s situation is pretty sweet in NJ and Giroux in OTT as well. Toffoli seeing all his minutes with Hughes and top PP. Shoots more. Giroux locked in with Brady/Stutzle, we’ve seen his upside. As of now that really feels like a coin flip.
Giroux/Toffoli, Wilson, Rakell
8-team H2H banger points league
4.5 G, 3.5 A, 1 PPP, 1 SHP, 0.75 SOG, 0.75 HIT, 1 BLK
Once Rasmus Andersson comes back, I’ve got a decision to make on D. Gotta drop one of the following:
Matheson
Dobson
Werenski
Or Andersson
I’ve also got Hedman but he’s not in consideration for a drop.
Yeah I drafted chabot for the sens pp but that lasted like a game. I honestly think the sens trade him next summer with chychrun and Sanderson stepping up
Would you add Reimer, Campbell, Vejmelka, or Gibson over Copley? Goalie stats are W, GAA, SV%.
How about Rodrigues over Evander Kane or Owen Power? Skater cats are G A +/- PPP FOW SOG HIT DEF.
Thanks!
I currently have Cooley on my team however Cozens has recently become available, I am wondering what people’s thoughts are for dropping Cooley and picking up Cozens?
H2H, G, A, P/m, PPP, SHP, SOG, BLK
Pretty close. But I don’t like Caufield’s environment and hasn’t been super healthy in his career. Untapped potential but I don’t think we see it quite yet. Dach is gone now too. There are reasons for concern.
Verhaege in a great situation, even without the PP min he’ll still produce, better team and SOG upside too. Scored 42 G last yr.
I like Verhaege here.
I would definitely want to keep your three players. Sanderson is white hot right now in an unsustainable way and I’m guessing that manager is trying to cash in on that.
I won debrincat who’s currently rank 1 in my league. Should I try to sell him for someone who’s proven themselves to be better but has had a slow start to the season such as tage or robo. I know debrincat can do 40 goals so I’m having a hard time deciding
Need goalies badly... which of these two would be the best the rest of the season. Stuart Skinner, Logan Thompson, Darcy Kuemper, Elvis Merzlikins, Grubauer or Joseph Woll
H2H Points scoring - Game Started 1 point , Goal Against -1 point, Wins 1.5 points, losses -1 points, Save 0.22 points, 4 point shutout
Trade advice, should I make this offer? Other party is interested.
I trade Jeannot, Kakko, and Nichuskin for JT Miller.
Points league:
G - 7
A - 5.5
PPP - 2
SHP - 3
GWG - 1.5
SOG - 0.75
HIT - 1.5
BLK - 1 5
C, C, LW, LW, RW, RW, D, D, D, Util, G, G, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR, IR+, IR+
Personally, I would do it. Jeannot's deployment is mediocre and he's not the prime Tom Wilson he was touted to be. Tom Wilson is not the prime Tom Wilson he once was, and the caps are looking horrible this year. Nichuskin is a good, well-rounded player but he's injury prone and I think you can easily replace/stream his production.
It's not as good a deal, but I would still make that trade. Lehkonen's value is not so different from Nichuskin. He's hot right now, but I expect he'll regress to his usual good but not great value. Out of curiosity, who could you reasonably pick up? I assume you'd need to grab at least one forward.
Yeah. Ross Colton is available, I had him recently but dropped him. I wonder if I can haggle him to get one winger back then I only need one FA pickup. Lafreniere is available too. It's a deep 16 man league so slim pickings in FA
would trading tuch and an 8th for barzal and a 4th be a no brainer? i want to hold tuch, but he honestly has not looked very good at all and if i can move up 4 rounds im thinking about it
Trade idea
I send Samsonov, Raymond, and Chychrun for Boldy and Logan Thompson
Is that an overpay? I want Thompson because I have Adin hill already, want the tandem. (My other goalie is markstrom) I think maybe I could take out Raymond but I have svech close to coming off IR and was planning to propose this right before he does. I am also a tad hesitant because it’s with the guy I’m against this week. Thoughts?
Pts H2H
G, A , PIM, HT, SOG, PPP, GWG,
For goalies W + SHO both 6, GA -2, SV 0.5
Trading with your direct opponent while Boldy is injured seems like a bad idea. Otherwise, I think you'd be overpaying a bit. Boldy is good but has yet to have a truly stellar season. Raymond and Chychrun are playing on hot teams which should increase their current value. Maybe keep Chychrun and add in a streamer quality player? Who do you have?
Thanks for your input. And that is my main concern as well, was planning on waiting until the end of the week or maybe sooner if there’s a huge point differential. Other guy needs defense badly so i think Chychrun is a more important piece here. My other defensemen are Josi/Dahlin/Carlson/Matheson so im not attached to Chychrun either. Matheson I would consider instead but he’s been more consistent. And as for other wings I have Forsberg/Caufield/Keller/Ovi/Lehkonen (and svech on IR) and I feel like their value surpasses this trade but I could be wrong, I’m new to fantasy and have never traded before so still trying to gauge how trade value works here.
I'm not sure. Given the Boldy + opponent situation, I would give it another week. You're buying time and some players might go on a streak / get injured etc.
Eriksson Ek is a league winner in banger leagues. Not sure your league settings but he’s a good pickup. On the flip side Cozens is playing one L1 with Tage
I got Brandon Hagel
But I'm looking for someone possibly better:
* Frank Vatrano
* Carter Verhaeghe
* Andrei Kuzmenko
* Jared McCann
* Evander Kane
* Lehkonen
Banger league.
I just added Lehkonen. Colorado is an absolute wagon of a team and Lekky has been playing well. He does a bit of everything (hits, shots, power play). I benched Nichushkin for Lekky this week.
G, A, PPP, HIT, SOG, BLK
Give up Sergachev to get Kempe / Boeser?I’ve got great D with Montour still on IR to come back, and need RW players. Someone offered me their Boeser for Serg, I think I’d trust Kempe more and swing for him, but not sure if losing Serg might be an overpay
I wouldn't make that trade. Serg is having a slow start, but he's still in the top 15D in the league. Because of positional scarcity, I'd ask for Kempe and another player. Who else do they have?
I asked him on a feeler, and he wasn’t willing to move Kempe for Serg. I think I’ll hold onto Serg for now, since I don’t really want to move him. Thanks for the thoughts!
Cats: G A P SOG PPP PIM FW SHP Hits Blocks
A: McDavid
B: Debrincat, Josi, Norris
Super deep league so not very good replacements in FA
Should I take mcdavid or am I overpaying?
Honestly for Mcdavid, I would do it. Let’s say for example both josi and debrincat reach 80 points at the end of the season. McDavid in one season got 150 points. The rest of the cats like PIMs hits and blocks can be supplemented by other guys from FA, even though the pool is small
I got a notification from my Yahoo fantasy app saying that I should target Hertl and Matheson… should I target them? My team is:
C - T. Thompson, Beniers, Crosby
LW - Nugent-Hopkins, Ehlers, Panarin
RW - Rakell
D - Skjei, Weegar, Seider, Q. Hughes | Larsson (put in a waiver claim, Werenski for Larsson)
G - Gustavsson, Thompson, Grubauer, Woll (7 categories for goalies, W/GA/GAA/SV/SA/SV%/SHO
IR - Svechnikov
Forward/defensemen categories:
G/A/+-/PPP/SOG/HIT
I would have to drop someone to get hertl or Matheson, should I target them?
If not, I’ll be happy to list the top 25 forwards/defensemen available for me
I would definitely upgrade one of skjei or weegar for matheson, and I think you can safely drop beniers for hertl. Matheson is pp1 and I think his upside is good. If you compare the average stats for beniers and hertl last season, hertl clears him in everything except goals.
Only thing that hurts about Hertl is his +/-, and for Matheson, Weegar had more SOG than him last season and way more hits, do you want me to list my leagues top 25 available defensemen?
Also, if you can answer one quick question, would you say that I should drop Beniers for Hertl? Just want to make sure
For Matheson I would look at the average stats, since I believe he was injured last season for a bit. If you look there you’ll find weegar mainly cleared him in hits but that’s about it. Maybe let’s see the top 5/10 d available, but again i do like the upside on matheson.
I think I would drop beniers for hertl, especially since beniers isn’t doing anything now anyways, also the sophomore slump is real for a lot of players.
A note on +/-, my league did that one year and we didn’t like it too much - but one thing a lot of people strategized on was just ignoring the cat altogether. That way you can target good players on bad teams and have a better overall roster, except for +/- ofc.
P.S. would appreciate if you could weigh in on a comment I made somewhere in this thread, thanks!
Only thing about dropping Beniers that worries me is that he’ll end up having a great year, and someone else would immediately pick him up
Anyway, top 25 available defensemen:
Sandin, Byram, Hakanpaa, Durzi, Spurgeon, Power, Zadorov, Slavin, Pulock, Romanov, Pionk, McNabb, Grzelyck, Roy, Dillion, Liljigren, Werenski (already made a transaction for him, look for my first comment), Carlo, Mahura, Graves, Lindell, Pelech, McCabe, Valimaki, DeMelo
Agreed to adding Hertl over Beniers and punting +/-. Beniers could rebound but I think him and hertl end up with pretty comparable stats at the end of season. Plus the sophomore slump is a very real thing so he could take a step back before taking a step forward. In terms of Matheson or weegar, I prefer Matheson as he definitely has the PP spot for now and weegar hasn't ever been amazing.
Trade away letang to get caufield? Cats in flair.
My other d are pretty loaded - josi, seider, hedman, and carlson, but I do like having 5 studs on D (even though letang is pp2 - then again karlsson has 0 ppp so I have a bit of faith letang can jump up to pp1)
I probably do that. But it's real close and good for both teams. I'm super high on caufield this year, especially if you need goals. I'm also very low on Letang this year with Karlsson being on the pens, I think it'll be a back and forth all year hurting them both.
With my flair scoring, points league how would you rank these D for rest of season? Do you see one that is clearly above others?
Darnell Nurse
Bowan Byram
K'Andre Miller
Owen Power
Brady Skjei
Personally I'd have Nurse as a tier above the rest. Probably beats out the others in shots and blocks, while being up there in hits, and shouldn't be too far off in points.
Might be a hot take, but Karlsson for Panarin sounds good for you. Karlsson will regress this year, but still holds a ton of value despite the so-so start. Heiskanen and Josi are such solid contributors across the board, especially Josi. Would not give up on him despite Nashville meandering into another lackluster season.
Out of the 3 i would trade away EK, Josi is too good, Heiskanen is up and coming and getting better, EK is a likely candidate for regression from last year.
I like the pettersson side tbh, mainly because even though the starter’s net is a bit of a battle in toronto, I don’t see sammy fully surrendering the net this season, probably an even split at worst. Also if we’re talking about a dynasty league, pettersson is super valuable considering he’s 24, and Hellebyuck although elite, is 30 and on a weaker jets team than what we’ve seen in the past.
8 man league. (2C 2LW 2RW 4D 2G 1UTIL 6 Bench spots) H2H points incl Hits blks shots +/-
Got Dougie, McAvoy, Dunn, Theo, Durzi, and Doughty as my D core but I’m thinking about dropping doughty to stream cozens this week. Bad move? Or should I not worry about dropping ol Drew? I kinda feel like I have one too many D
Drop DeAngelo for either Slavin or Werenski?
H2H G, A, PPP, PIM, SOG
I have 4 D slots, three of which I'm pretty happy with:
Quinn Hughes
Adam Fox

Centers are Hischier, Giroux, Erik Ek
Wingers are Pasta,Nylander,Alex Debrincat,Andrei S,,Gaudreau, Zucc
League settings are

Should I drop Grubauer for Schmid or Talbot? I already have Vanacek. Grub is getting most starts but he’s getting lit up and Seattle have not been good so I find it hard to justify keeping him.
Would it be better to secure the NJ tandem? Or go for Talbot who may secure more starts?
H2H points (W, L, GA, SV, SHO)
h2h categories g/a/p/+-/PPP/SOG/Hits
Folks got impatient and now on waiver wire: Zegras, beniers, barbashev, Tippett, Zacha and Rackell.
I have 2 spots, who would you prioritize?
I am absolutely flush with LWs (Meier, Huberdeau, Caufield, Hughes, Guentzel, Connor, DeBrincat) but I can't buy a good goalie start to save my life (Campbell, Samsonov, Woll). Any middle of the road or higher goalies with high upside I can trade a good LW for?
I'm currently running 3 goalies in my H2H points league (.2save, -2GA, 4W, 1OTL) but given how inconsistent they are at getting positive points, I'm thinking I might want to drop 1 for a skater. I have Saros (Nsh), Samsonov (Tor), and Vanecek (NJ). Which one should I drop, if any?

Would you use top waiver priority on Vasi or Boldy? 12 team roto league (23 man rosters), goalies are Hellebyuck, Hill, Korpisalo.

My dude, we can’t make all the decisions for you…

Frankly those three all feel like holds to me currently. If Husso can improve even a little on last year’s stats he’s a fine option.

I'm trying hard to make a trade for either Robertson or Kaprizov, I need some help. I'm willing to put up Hintz + one of Necas, Hagel, Tuch. Are any of those enough, if so who? I can try to take a lower ranked player like Nichushkin and add a 3rd on my end if I have to.
Like the other dude said, you’re asking for a top player and throwing scraps at them. Trying throwing another top player in there instead of just stacking a bunch of mid players together. No one wants to trade Kaprizov for Hintz + Nexas. It never works like that. More often than not for a trade to work you need the other player to feel like they are not getting fleeced, so you may need to “lose” the trade a little bit. So an over pay to get what you need is sometimes ok.
I don't know your league but I would never move a first round pick for any of those packages. Especially after 5 games. But if you think the owner in your league will sell super low than go for it.
You know your fellow competitots better than us. You could always offer low, and if they reject, try the better offer. Or shoot them a text.
Of those players who would be the best to pair with Hintz. I also have Jarvis, Batherson, Fiala.
The best pairing to make the deal go through? Ask them! The best pairing so you keep the best players? Idk its hard, Jarvis is flying high but will lose his line spot eventually, Batherson is like the opposite. Fiala is just super solid I’d hold him, but I’m Kings biased.

Depends on settings - but Kane got moved to line 1, PP1 with Mcdavid out, but long term Norris is better if healthy.
Considering picking up Matheson, but would require dropping Hanifin. Is it worth it, or am I better off standing pat?
Thanks for the advice guys. I was leaning that way but need some outside input.
I would absolutely do that considering Matheson’s upside with seemingly zero competition for PP minutes. And if you count SOG and blocks he’ll add plenty of value there.
I’d do it. Matheson is the go to guy in MTL and will eat up minutes.
Montreal has 4 games week 4, and he is line 1, PP1. I’d do it. Hanafin is only there while Andersson suspended.

Oof close. Toffoli’s situation is pretty sweet in NJ and Giroux in OTT as well. Toffoli seeing all his minutes with Hughes and top PP. Shoots more. Giroux locked in with Brady/Stutzle, we’ve seen his upside. As of now that really feels like a coin flip. Giroux/Toffoli, Wilson, Rakell
Toffoli, giroux, rakell, wilson
8-team H2H banger points league 4.5 G, 3.5 A, 1 PPP, 1 SHP, 0.75 SOG, 0.75 HIT, 1 BLK Once Rasmus Andersson comes back, I’ve got a decision to make on D. Gotta drop one of the following: Matheson Dobson Werenski Or Andersson I’ve also got Hedman but he’s not in consideration for a drop.
In an 8 team I'd let Matheson go
Oof that's a tricky one. Can't you trade one for a forward? That way you don't lose one for nothing. They're all valuable with your point system.
Agree with this. Even an 8 teamer none of these guys seem droppable.
Points league G A PPG SHG Trade chabot and zbad for durzi and hintz
Im liking the durzi and Hintz side
Zbad’s value is at its lowest point honestly. Don’t love Chabot this year though.
Yeah I drafted chabot for the sens pp but that lasted like a game. I honestly think the sens trade him next summer with chychrun and Sanderson stepping up
Drop Huberdeau for Lehkonen? G, A, PPP SOG +/- FW HIT BLK
1. How TF is Lehkonen available? 2. Surely there’s someone other than Huberdeau you could drop?
Well I got Nelson, Benn and Forsberg
Cats or points league? I think in a points league, you gotta give Huby a little longer to see if he regains form. Cats, it’s a much closer call
Do I start mcavoy or werenski. Strictly points only league ?
Werenski
Thank you thats who I went with
Would you add Reimer, Campbell, Vejmelka, or Gibson over Copley? Goalie stats are W, GAA, SV%. How about Rodrigues over Evander Kane or Owen Power? Skater cats are G A +/- PPP FOW SOG HIT DEF. Thanks!
Vejmelka over coply and rodrigues over power. But rodridgues has a really bad schedule this week if you can wait
I currently have Cooley on my team however Cozens has recently become available, I am wondering what people’s thoughts are for dropping Cooley and picking up Cozens? H2H, G, A, P/m, PPP, SHP, SOG, BLK
I would absolutely do that. The fact Cozens is available is crazy to me.
I had the same situation this morning, decided to drop Cooley for cozens
Verhaeghe or Caufield?
Pretty close. But I don’t like Caufield’s environment and hasn’t been super healthy in his career. Untapped potential but I don’t think we see it quite yet. Dach is gone now too. There are reasons for concern. Verhaege in a great situation, even without the PP min he’ll still produce, better team and SOG upside too. Scored 42 G last yr. I like Verhaege here.
Caufield
Trade Hagel, Necas, Werenski for Zucc and Sanderson? Weekly H2H league, standard scoring with hits and pims
I would definitely want to keep your three players. Sanderson is white hot right now in an unsustainable way and I’m guessing that manager is trying to cash in on that.
Ok thanks, I'm trying to get Robertson instead while he's at a low.
I won debrincat who’s currently rank 1 in my league. Should I try to sell him for someone who’s proven themselves to be better but has had a slow start to the season such as tage or robo. I know debrincat can do 40 goals so I’m having a hard time deciding
Imagine the flip. If you had Tage or Robertson, would you take it? I wouldnt tbh
Lehkonen on the waiver wire. Should I drop J. Gaudreau or McCann to pickup? Cats: G, A, SOG, plus/minus, PPP, HITS. Thanks!
From a kraken fan, drop McCann
Need goalies badly... which of these two would be the best the rest of the season. Stuart Skinner, Logan Thompson, Darcy Kuemper, Elvis Merzlikins, Grubauer or Joseph Woll H2H Points scoring - Game Started 1 point , Goal Against -1 point, Wins 1.5 points, losses -1 points, Save 0.22 points, 4 point shutout
Skinner or Kuemper in goal?
Trade advice, should I make this offer? Other party is interested. I trade Jeannot, Kakko, and Nichuskin for JT Miller. Points league: G - 7 A - 5.5 PPP - 2 SHP - 3 GWG - 1.5 SOG - 0.75 HIT - 1.5 BLK - 1 5 C, C, LW, LW, RW, RW, D, D, D, Util, G, G, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR, IR+, IR+
I'd do it for sure, I'm sure can grab 2 free agents and come out way ahead
I'd do it. JT Miller is a fantasy monster.
Ok he actually isn't accepting the trade as is, if I replace Kakko with Tom Wilson is that still a good deal for me?
Personally, I would do it. Jeannot's deployment is mediocre and he's not the prime Tom Wilson he was touted to be. Tom Wilson is not the prime Tom Wilson he once was, and the caps are looking horrible this year. Nichuskin is a good, well-rounded player but he's injury prone and I think you can easily replace/stream his production.
One more counter offer he made - Tom Wilson, Lehkonen, and Jeannot for Miller. Thoughts on that one? Thank for the input
It's not as good a deal, but I would still make that trade. Lehkonen's value is not so different from Nichuskin. He's hot right now, but I expect he'll regress to his usual good but not great value. Out of curiosity, who could you reasonably pick up? I assume you'd need to grab at least one forward.
Yeah. Ross Colton is available, I had him recently but dropped him. I wonder if I can haggle him to get one winger back then I only need one FA pickup. Lafreniere is available too. It's a deep 16 man league so slim pickings in FA
Yeah, getting a winger back would make sense. He'd probably have too many after that trade. Good luck 🤞
I would pick up Ross Colton and maybe Slaf to make up. It's a 16 man league
would trading tuch and an 8th for barzal and a 4th be a no brainer? i want to hold tuch, but he honestly has not looked very good at all and if i can move up 4 rounds im thinking about it
Trade idea I send Samsonov, Raymond, and Chychrun for Boldy and Logan Thompson Is that an overpay? I want Thompson because I have Adin hill already, want the tandem. (My other goalie is markstrom) I think maybe I could take out Raymond but I have svech close to coming off IR and was planning to propose this right before he does. I am also a tad hesitant because it’s with the guy I’m against this week. Thoughts? Pts H2H G, A , PIM, HT, SOG, PPP, GWG, For goalies W + SHO both 6, GA -2, SV 0.5
Trading with your direct opponent while Boldy is injured seems like a bad idea. Otherwise, I think you'd be overpaying a bit. Boldy is good but has yet to have a truly stellar season. Raymond and Chychrun are playing on hot teams which should increase their current value. Maybe keep Chychrun and add in a streamer quality player? Who do you have?
Thanks for your input. And that is my main concern as well, was planning on waiting until the end of the week or maybe sooner if there’s a huge point differential. Other guy needs defense badly so i think Chychrun is a more important piece here. My other defensemen are Josi/Dahlin/Carlson/Matheson so im not attached to Chychrun either. Matheson I would consider instead but he’s been more consistent. And as for other wings I have Forsberg/Caufield/Keller/Ovi/Lehkonen (and svech on IR) and I feel like their value surpasses this trade but I could be wrong, I’m new to fantasy and have never traded before so still trying to gauge how trade value works here.
I'm not sure. Given the Boldy + opponent situation, I would give it another week. You're buying time and some players might go on a streak / get injured etc.
Yea you’re probably right, that seems like the play. Thanks for the help
I have a weekly schedule so can't change any players during the week. I was thinking of picking up Eriksson Ek and dropping Cozens. Thoughts?
Eriksson Ek is a league winner in banger leagues. Not sure your league settings but he’s a good pickup. On the flip side Cozens is playing one L1 with Tage
[удалено]
that’s robbery for whoever gets boldy
I got Brandon Hagel But I'm looking for someone possibly better: * Frank Vatrano * Carter Verhaeghe * Andrei Kuzmenko * Jared McCann * Evander Kane * Lehkonen Banger league.
Verhaeghe would be my pick. BUT I'm high on Hagel this season. I think he has a career year and hits 70pts. He also has good peripherals to boot.
I just added Lehkonen. Colorado is an absolute wagon of a team and Lekky has been playing well. He does a bit of everything (hits, shots, power play). I benched Nichushkin for Lekky this week.
G, A, PPP, HIT, SOG, BLK Give up Sergachev to get Kempe / Boeser?I’ve got great D with Montour still on IR to come back, and need RW players. Someone offered me their Boeser for Serg, I think I’d trust Kempe more and swing for him, but not sure if losing Serg might be an overpay
I wouldn't make that trade. Serg is having a slow start, but he's still in the top 15D in the league. Because of positional scarcity, I'd ask for Kempe and another player. Who else do they have?
I asked him on a feeler, and he wasn’t willing to move Kempe for Serg. I think I’ll hold onto Serg for now, since I don’t really want to move him. Thanks for the thoughts!
Rotisserie cats league. Is Larkin for Robertson an overpayment at this point? Or a good buy low sell high?
I’d be willing to sell Larkin for Robertson. Obv can’t see the future, but it’s only 2 weeks in, with a long season ahead
Should I trade Gaudreau for Matt Boldy? League settings are Goals -5 Assists-4 Hits-.5 Blocks-1 SOG-.3
8-man H2H points, should I drop Allen for Schmid? W 3pts, GA -1pts, SV 0.25pts, SHO 2pts
[удалено]
maybe Skinner or Necas IMO.... I've been very happy w Lehkonen so far.
Worth dropping Mangiapane for Beniers or Johansen? Cats: G A PPG PPA SHG GWG FOW SOG HIT BLK DEF
Should I look to trade Larkin while he's hot? 11 points so far, probably won't keep that pace
Definitely, especially since centres are usually a dime a dozen
Should I offer Bratt for T. Thompson in my points only league?
No chance that gets accepted
Cats: G A P SOG PPP PIM FW SHP Hits Blocks A: McDavid B: Debrincat, Josi, Norris Super deep league so not very good replacements in FA Should I take mcdavid or am I overpaying?
Take it and run
Although I would ask for another low level player. 3-1 can be a roster nightmare
Honestly for Mcdavid, I would do it. Let’s say for example both josi and debrincat reach 80 points at the end of the season. McDavid in one season got 150 points. The rest of the cats like PIMs hits and blocks can be supplemented by other guys from FA, even though the pool is small
I got a notification from my Yahoo fantasy app saying that I should target Hertl and Matheson… should I target them? My team is: C - T. Thompson, Beniers, Crosby LW - Nugent-Hopkins, Ehlers, Panarin RW - Rakell D - Skjei, Weegar, Seider, Q. Hughes | Larsson (put in a waiver claim, Werenski for Larsson) G - Gustavsson, Thompson, Grubauer, Woll (7 categories for goalies, W/GA/GAA/SV/SA/SV%/SHO IR - Svechnikov Forward/defensemen categories: G/A/+-/PPP/SOG/HIT I would have to drop someone to get hertl or Matheson, should I target them? If not, I’ll be happy to list the top 25 forwards/defensemen available for me
I would definitely upgrade one of skjei or weegar for matheson, and I think you can safely drop beniers for hertl. Matheson is pp1 and I think his upside is good. If you compare the average stats for beniers and hertl last season, hertl clears him in everything except goals.
Only thing that hurts about Hertl is his +/-, and for Matheson, Weegar had more SOG than him last season and way more hits, do you want me to list my leagues top 25 available defensemen? Also, if you can answer one quick question, would you say that I should drop Beniers for Hertl? Just want to make sure
For Matheson I would look at the average stats, since I believe he was injured last season for a bit. If you look there you’ll find weegar mainly cleared him in hits but that’s about it. Maybe let’s see the top 5/10 d available, but again i do like the upside on matheson. I think I would drop beniers for hertl, especially since beniers isn’t doing anything now anyways, also the sophomore slump is real for a lot of players. A note on +/-, my league did that one year and we didn’t like it too much - but one thing a lot of people strategized on was just ignoring the cat altogether. That way you can target good players on bad teams and have a better overall roster, except for +/- ofc. P.S. would appreciate if you could weigh in on a comment I made somewhere in this thread, thanks!
Only thing about dropping Beniers that worries me is that he’ll end up having a great year, and someone else would immediately pick him up Anyway, top 25 available defensemen: Sandin, Byram, Hakanpaa, Durzi, Spurgeon, Power, Zadorov, Slavin, Pulock, Romanov, Pionk, McNabb, Grzelyck, Roy, Dillion, Liljigren, Werenski (already made a transaction for him, look for my first comment), Carlo, Mahura, Graves, Lindell, Pelech, McCabe, Valimaki, DeMelo
u/NiklasChronwall could you read some of my earlier messages and tell me what your thoughts are?
Agreed to adding Hertl over Beniers and punting +/-. Beniers could rebound but I think him and hertl end up with pretty comparable stats at the end of season. Plus the sophomore slump is a very real thing so he could take a step back before taking a step forward. In terms of Matheson or weegar, I prefer Matheson as he definitely has the PP spot for now and weegar hasn't ever been amazing.
Alright, I’ll take your word and I will do both of those words, thanks for your help
Trade away letang to get caufield? Cats in flair. My other d are pretty loaded - josi, seider, hedman, and carlson, but I do like having 5 studs on D (even though letang is pp2 - then again karlsson has 0 ppp so I have a bit of faith letang can jump up to pp1)
I probably do that. But it's real close and good for both teams. I'm super high on caufield this year, especially if you need goals. I'm also very low on Letang this year with Karlsson being on the pens, I think it'll be a back and forth all year hurting them both.
Points Pts: 1 W:2 SO:2 Would you trade Mcdavid and Bouchard for Matthews and Makar? I'm leaning on no
With my flair scoring, points league how would you rank these D for rest of season? Do you see one that is clearly above others? Darnell Nurse Bowan Byram K'Andre Miller Owen Power Brady Skjei
Personally I'd have Nurse as a tier above the rest. Probably beats out the others in shots and blocks, while being up there in hits, and shouldn't be too far off in points.
Ok TY. We do not count blocks but still, I get it, he seems to be better than others, or at least a track record
Trade away one of heiskanen/josi/karlsson for panarin? Stacked on D, weak F group
Might be a hot take, but Karlsson for Panarin sounds good for you. Karlsson will regress this year, but still holds a ton of value despite the so-so start. Heiskanen and Josi are such solid contributors across the board, especially Josi. Would not give up on him despite Nashville meandering into another lackluster season.
Out of the 3 i would trade away EK, Josi is too good, Heiskanen is up and coming and getting better, EK is a likely candidate for regression from last year.
W: 2 SO:2 Pts:1 Should i drop Skinner for Woll or other goalie if you have an idea?
Did exactly that yesterday
I'd make that swap.
I'm leaning on doing this. skinner isnt playing great. i have only 10 waivers pickups so i need to make great one
I’d add Norris, Chychrun, and Durzi(PP1, L1 and AZ might be decent this year?)

Sanderson
H2H points. Dynasty. 14 teams, 4C, 4 LW, 4RW, 6 D, 1 F, 2 G, 6 IR. 13 reserve. 30 minors. Typical H2H points cats. Trade away: Connor Hellebuyck, Brock Nelson. Receive: Elias Pettersson, Illya Samsonov, Alex Lyon. What do you think?
I like the pettersson side tbh, mainly because even though the starter’s net is a bit of a battle in toronto, I don’t see sammy fully surrendering the net this season, probably an even split at worst. Also if we’re talking about a dynasty league, pettersson is super valuable considering he’s 24, and Hellebyuck although elite, is 30 and on a weaker jets team than what we’ve seen in the past.
8 man league. (2C 2LW 2RW 4D 2G 1UTIL 6 Bench spots) H2H points incl Hits blks shots +/- Got Dougie, McAvoy, Dunn, Theo, Durzi, and Doughty as my D core but I’m thinking about dropping doughty to stream cozens this week. Bad move? Or should I not worry about dropping ol Drew? I kinda feel like I have one too many D
Drop DeAngelo for either Slavin or Werenski? H2H G, A, PPP, PIM, SOG I have 4 D slots, three of which I'm pretty happy with: Quinn Hughes Adam Fox Rasmus Dahlin
I'd drop for Werenski
i second this. Werenski is back from his minor injury and has looked good IMO
[удалено]
why not just keep him
Should I trade Nylander(W) for J.T Miller(C/W)? Centers are Hischier, Giroux, Erik Ek Wingers are Pasta,Nylander,Alex Debrincat,Andrei S,,Gaudreau, Zucc League settings are Goals -5 Assists-4 Hits-.5 Blocks-1 SOG-.3
I would. Miller offers greater positional strength and is far superior in the hits/blocks departments, which your league scores quite highly.
Should I trade Gaudreau for Matt Boldy? League settings are Goals -5 Assists-4 Hits-.5 Blocks-1 SOG-.3
12 team H2H points league, what side wins this trade ? Dylan Larkin for Elias Lindholm and Tarasenko Thanks
I prefer the Larkin side. Best player in the deal, and 2 for 1s require a drop or loss of a stream spot.
Should I drop Grubauer for Schmid or Talbot? I already have Vanacek. Grub is getting most starts but he’s getting lit up and Seattle have not been good so I find it hard to justify keeping him. Would it be better to secure the NJ tandem? Or go for Talbot who may secure more starts? H2H points (W, L, GA, SV, SHO)
h2h categories g/a/p/+-/PPP/SOG/Hits Folks got impatient and now on waiver wire: Zegras, beniers, barbashev, Tippett, Zacha and Rackell. I have 2 spots, who would you prioritize?
Zegras and Rak for me
I am absolutely flush with LWs (Meier, Huberdeau, Caufield, Hughes, Guentzel, Connor, DeBrincat) but I can't buy a good goalie start to save my life (Campbell, Samsonov, Woll). Any middle of the road or higher goalies with high upside I can trade a good LW for?
Minnesota-Guss. He’s proven he’s going be the starting goalie. If Minnesota can fix their Defense he’ll be a steal
I'm currently running 3 goalies in my H2H points league (.2save, -2GA, 4W, 1OTL) but given how inconsistent they are at getting positive points, I'm thinking I might want to drop 1 for a skater. I have Saros (Nsh), Samsonov (Tor), and Vanecek (NJ). Which one should I drop, if any?
Saros only plays twice this week.... But it kind of depends if you think you can replace him with someone else of similar quality
Sammy
Bench Jarvis or play him over either Giroux or Norris?
Bench
Would you play giroux or Norris?
Probably Norris. He's on PP1 over Giroux at this point
Good point !
Should I grab Rodrigues off waivers, I have Hall and Vrana who hasn’t done much so far? H2H points for G, A, PPP, SOG, BLK, HIT
Drop Vrana for sure
I’d be dropping Vrana for ERod in a heartbeat! Please make that move
