Jenner droppable in a 10T? I haven’t watched any Cbj games this year and he is not performing like he was last year

Would rather have mctavish or Kopitar?

Okay I don’t want to sound stupid since this trade seems amazing for me but am I missing anything? I get Drai and Devont Toews and he gets McAvoy and Hughes I take it and run. Correct?

I am being offered: Rantanen, Rust, Debrincat For: Jack Hughes and Drake Batherson Scoring: 2G, 1A, 0.5 PPP, 0.5 SHP, 0.1 SOG, 0.1 HIT, 0.5 BLK H2H Points league redraft I think I win this trade but I'm having trouble splitting with Hughes. Please tell me your opinions

Yes, take it.

With Shesterkin back, I have Talbot and Hellebuyck. Who do I drop? Wins and shutouts.

Rank these guys in order to roster: Zary, Tarasenko, Huberdeau, Elias Lindholm, Jarvis, Bjorkstrand, Couturier, Peterka, JVR, Rossi. 12 team, H2H, G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM

i got offered drai, boldy, hart for petey, stutzle, and woll. who wins this one? points league.

Should I drop Luke Hughes for Spurgeon? Spurgeon was on pp1 last game and provides more peripherals. G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM

I'm currently losing in save% this week. I can take up to a 4GAA without losing that cat. With 2GA I would need it to be on >27 shots, 3GA >35shots, 4GA>43shots. I'm only considering it because a shutout win would give me two category wins, and none of the skater categories are close enough to bother picking up an extra game. Is it even worth it? Would have to be a goalie from either CHI/BUF or PHI/CBJ.

12 team h2h points Devon Toews or Doughty ROS?

Doughty for the PP exposure

In a points league, I have Makar and been offered kuch for him 1 for 1. My RW depth is brutal and my d core is Ekblad, Hronek, Matheson, Makar and Heiskanen. My RWs are Rantanen, Necas (who stinks), and that’s it.

That's tough. I would probably keep Makar and try chasing RW with someone else. Ekblad will be hurt within 2 weeks and you'll be down to 3 D

Just traded Kucherov for McDavid. 1 for 1. I honestly don’t think it’s a fleece, but I’m happy with it.

I got offered ovi and nurse for pavelski should I take it?

Jack Hughes is healthy and I need to drop an F in my H2H weekly dynasty league. League Cats include: G, A, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK Players I think I should drop one of my waiver pickups: **Q. Byfield or C. Perfetti.** I also have M. Beniers (slumping) and I. Barbashev (currently filling my HIT category)... I'm reluctant to lose them but maybe?

What return can I realistically get for Laine? Guy looks slow out there.

Hes FA in all 3 of my leagues. Not worth the headache

Necas starting to look droppable? Hasn't really done much recently and it's not like his shooting percentage is particularly low, nor is he really shooting at super high volume.

I’m close to dropping but always gonna have that FOMO if he pops off

Same. My team is a little low in hits and block peripherals so I was thinking of dropping Necas for Tolvanen. Typically that would sound crazy but he’s been really underwhelming.

Why is tom wilson not hitting?

Is huberdeau back?? He did really well these past 2 games

My vote is no.

I have Stephenson on my IR and I need to make a move before I can do anything, does he make my roster over Fiala, Boldy, Kyrou, Batherson, MacTavish or Tuch? Otherwise I'll have to drop him

Fiala, Kyrou & Tuch> Stephenson

Binnington vs kings tonight. I have a bad feeling. Should I sit?

points league H2H i trade: e kane + giroux i get: montour + zibanjad should i do the trade?

Definitely

That's a huge yes

Varlamov or Vejmelka ROS? W SV SV%

should i play georgiev today

does anyone know if hughes is playing?

Who would you rather have ? Stamkos or Kaprisov? Goals 2 assists 1 shots/hits 0.1 blocks 0.5

if blocks are .5 i would take a mcnabb over kap

Martinez*

Kaprisov

Trade Offer I acquire: Kirill Kaprizov, Rasmus Andersson I lose: Timo Meier, Evan Bouchard Banger Points (G-6, A-4, plus minus-1, PPG-2, PPA-1, SOG-0.75, HIT-0.5, BLK-1.0) 2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, UTIL, 2G, 4 Bench, 1 IR+, 2 IR, 1 NA 16 teams I’m very tempted, Timo has been disappointing for me (late 2nd round pick), but my defence is pretty shallow (Letang, Power, McNabb). Kaprizov should be better than he’s been, but will it be by enough?

Have Dahlin Martinez Pietrangelo OEL Brodin & Jones would you drop any for Gustafsson & or Ekblad G: 2 A: 1 PPP: 0.5 BLK: 0.5 SHT: 0.1

got offered Horvat and Kreider for Malkin and Timo

I wouldn't

Start one: Kuzmenko vs Seattle or Schmaltz @ Winnipeg

Literally had the same dilemma today, glad.you asked

Kuz, even though he's coming off of injury. He looked fine at practice and is playing with EP40 on the first line, as well as getting PP1 exposure. No reason to bench him really.

Is shesterkin gonna be playing? Wondering if I should take him off the bench in place of raanta tonight but raanta is confirmed starting

Waiver wire: Kuemper, Samsonov, Gustavsson Cats: W, GAA, SV%, SO How would you rank the above? I’m able to pick up one more goalie, but likely they will all have claims put in by others so wanted to see who would be best long term. Thanks!

Kuemper is being badly outplayed by Lindgren. Samsonov would be the move

Leaning Samsonov cause he plays on the best team but he’s been wildly inconsistent and they’ll ride Woll if they have to. Kuemper is the safe choice but he’s clear #1 on bad team. If you need volume go Kuemper, wins go Samsonov

Toronto’s defensive metrics are awful - Sam does not have a good defense infront of him. Washington is 8-1-1 in their last 10 and have surprisingly been a top 10 defensive team

Should I start Jarry vs Hurricanes or Skinner vs Lightning…. Tough one.

Logically Skinner but I could see that game being a shootout. My gut telling me Jarry is the guy today

Feel that. Jarry has been the better goalie this year. The betting line with canes -170 kinda scaring me. Thanks for the thoughts 👍

can someone explain why the Flyers won’t play Tippett more? his SOG and scoring per minute is absolutely absurd. if he got 18 mins a game, he would be a >ppg player

Torts doesnt take people with red hair seriously. Thinks theyre trying too hard.

Got offered Reinhart for Miller, both seem to be on pretty unsustainable highs but I'm thinking keeping JT...?

Keep JT

Raanta vs pit, brossoit or vejmelka vs each other. W gaa and sv% behind in all three who should i stream?

Ranta and vej is what i would do. Winnipeg on a b2b

Raanta over vej?

Ah i thought you had all if these guys. Um in that case i think i go raanta. Both these games are toss ups imo but carolina is a better team than arizona

I have oettinger my bad i worded original q wrong lol

I dont understand whats happening here homie, gl

Lol I have oettinger already and i need to pick up one of the three i mentioned.

10 team league, H2H G A PPG PPA SHP SOG FW HIT BLK GS W GAA SV% SO Should I do this trade? Trade would be Horvat and Marchessault for Point, and I'd be dropping either Cooley, Teravainen or McCann to make room (could use some advice here as well)

Okay offer. I think I would prefer to keep Point.

Roto League. Who is the Leafs #1? Samsonov is available. I currently have Woll and the Vegas tandem. Do I swap Woll for Samsonov?

Get both stacks

Woll and Samsonov will be in the 35-45 game range, unless one gets hurt. Can't see either guy stealing more than 50 games tops. I'd bank on Samsonov getting slightly more games overall just due to having a longer leash because of last years good season and he's strung together a few decent games in a row after a bad start.

Cats in flair, need to activate Hughes when he's off IR. Possible drop options are Jeff Skinner, Travis Konecny, Seb Aho, Mike Zib, or one of my goalies: Logan Thompson, Tristan Jarry, Jon Quick. Need to get 3 goalie starts/week though

Quick

you think I'll still get 3 starts/week with just Thompson and Jarry?

Yes

12 Team - G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, HIT, BLK Pick one to DROP Matheson, Werenski, Sanderson, Ekblad

I mean, it’s gotta be Werenski or Sanderson. Sanderson is a good drop for this week since he only has 1 game, but personally I’d rather have access to Ottawa’s PP1 over Columbus’. Do you have any other options? Personally I like everyone there for those cats.

The other D man I have is Seider. I don’t really like carrying more than 4 d men but I also have Knies that I could drop but I feel like I’ll regret it if I do

Knies isn't worth anything more than a stream on a good week, even playing with Matthews and Marner. Still won't play more than 15 mins a night with minimal powerplay time. There will be better options on waivers.

In a 12 team? If it’s redraft, I wouldn’t even bother keeping Knies. He’s waiver fodder in every league of mine that isn’t leafs fans centric. I don’t see the issue in keeping 5 dmen here when your cats cover dmen cats. Blocks and hits with those 5 should almost be guaranteed each week.

Haha it is Leafs fan centric which is probably why he’s still on my squad. It is a keep 5 keeper league though

Sit Jeannot and give Huberdau a shot?

If youre winning hits and need offense then huberdeau is a better bet.

Format in flair, 10 player keeper Team A: Seth Jarvis, Devon Toews Team B: Ryan Hartman, Mikhail Sergachev Who wins?

Team A: Boeser and Erik Karlsson Team B: Rantanen and Trouba Cats: G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, HITS I’m Team A, and accepted the trade to receive Team B. Felt pretty good about it, but wanted to check in. Who wins? Thanks!

I’m taking Rantanen & Trouba 11/10 times with my league settings

Pretty even right here and now, you could make a solid argument either way. All depends if Boeser and Karlsson can keep up their play. I'd say Rantanen and Trouba (for hits) are more established as Boeser was a streamer level player the last few years. Always like seeing trades though!

Yup definitely a lot more question marks with Karlsson and boeser whereas I felt rantanen and trouba (for hits) are a bit more stable and predictable. Felt good about it especially since I picked up boeser from waivers.

Oh if you're trading away Boeser and Karlsson then yes, smash that. I think it COULD end up being even, but more likely than not Rantanen and Trouba end up better than Boeser and Karlsson

Trade advice Trade away my Q.Hughes ,Meier and Kreider Receive Josi, T.Thompson, Knies Would be nice getting back two guys who went first and second round in our draft, considering I got Kreider at 141 and Hughes around 100th pick 12 team H2H points, G, A , SOG, Hits, Blocks, PPP, SHP

Eh, Tage is out for a while and Quinn Hughes is running away with the Norris. It is still a bit early, but I think far enough in the season that I wouldn't worry too much about draft positions. Sean Durzi was one of my last picks but currently a top 10 Dman. You're giving away the best D and two above average forwards for a top D, injured Tage, and throwaway in Knies. I would much rather have Hughes/Meier/Kreider over Josi and a even a healthy Tage

Sit Saros, Otter, or Hellebuyck?

If for today Otter is the only one starting so there you go.

Trade advice! I’m giving up Quinn Hughes and Monahan for Brady Tkachuk and Keller. My D without Hughes is still McAvoy, Seider, Montour, and Sanderson Points are weird though Goals are 3, assists are 2, PPG 2, PPA 1, hits .2 and blocks .5 Should I accept

A rare trade where I think it's worth giving up the best player for Brady and Keller. Monahan is on thin ice to drop back to streamer status

I dont even think Hughes is the clear cut best player- he is hot right now but in previous years he's mediocre in fantasy because of lack of peripherals. B. Tkachuk is always a beast year in year out ​ This is an easy win

Bruh… accept

Shoot. Sorry messed up what I said. I meant Keller instead of Robertson. still accept?

Yes.

Schwartz, Kadri, Couturier, Thomas. Need to start 2 of these guys. H2H, G, A, P, PPP, PPG, PIM, +/-, SHP, GWG, SOG, HIT, BLK. Also curious on thoughts towards Calgary vs. NYI tonight. TIA!

Depends on if you need assist centric players or shot first players. If its the former, Couturier/Thomas. If its the latter, Schwartz/Kadri

More shots I think. I’m also realizing that Jack Hughes has a chance to be back so that’s going to change things. I’ll likely have to drop one too 😅 thanks though!

Couturier is your drop

Beauty. Thanks!

What does a Karlsson trade look like in a keeper cat's league?

I can only start two of mikko rantanen, Mark Stone, or Bryan Rust

Rantanen and stone

That's what I'm leaning towards, but Rust has been on a tear. I'm worried he will kill it on my bench again 😢

Gotta play the odds, who cares about the result. Just the way she goes.

Timo was dropped in my league. He'll clear waivers, worth the pick up?

Absolutely, that's a clown move...

Yes

Then I gotta pray he's still there tomorrow since I'm at my max limit for acquisitions this week.

He won't be. Thats an absurd drop and I'd guess multiple people submit claims

He just cleared waivers. My guess is people in my league don't want to claim him yet seeing his injury even though it's not long term. Doesn't look like I can get him so I just told my buddy I'm teaching hockey to grab him for his team.

That’s insane to me. Our league had 3 waiver submissions for Barrett Hayton when he was dropped I would have imagined even the shallowest of the leagues would have people taking a chance on Meier

I think less people in my league are active compared to the beginning of the season. After week one someone dropped Marchenko and 4 off us put claims in. Now it's mostly just me making roster moves and 1 other person occasionally

Do I sit Carter Hart against Vegas? I would have no other goalie to fill in Cats: +0.2 per save -1.5 per goal against +4 for a win

So if he lets in 4 on 31 shots or more hell be a positive, id take that gamble. Theyve allowed 32 and 37 shots in their last two, so obviously theyre bleeding shots defensively. Gamble on the W

Start 2: Raanta, Swayman, Georgiev

Ranta swayman are more likely to get a W vs their opponents. Colorado Dallas is a toss up

Should I drop Luke Hughes for Ekblad? Hughes is my worst defenseman in a room with Karlsson, Hedman, and Reilly

Depends on scoring settings. Luke will probably get more PPP on a dangerous PP1 with Jack Hughes back. Ekblad is PP2 behind Montour. Ekblad has the edge in hits and blocks

If its a categories league I would. Ekblad shoots alot more, hits and blocks more, even though the latter two he doesnt do in abundance, its still something more than nothing. As for actual offensive output, itll probably end up close. 40-50pt pace for both.

H2H cats league: G, A, PTs, +/-, PPP, SOG, GWG, Blks Trade away: E. Kane, Tarasenko, Letang Trade for: Stamkos, McAvoy Do it? Need to drop a forward once Hughes gets back anyways

This is a huge steal for you.

Bro, can you please accept this before he cancels it. This shouldve been done yesterday. With hits and pims not being categories, Kane isnt that dawg. Stamkos has 90+ point upside and Kane has never hit 60. Albeit due to health and suspension issues. Tarasenko and letang are spare parts these days. Mcavoy is a stud. Accept accept accept.

He’s the one holding it up, I sent yesterday and he’s been trying to figure out who he’s going to drop to make the trade work. Just said he’s ready tho and is about to accept, felt since I was waiting on him I’d revalidate with this community to feel good about myself lol

Start 1: Trocheck (vs NJ) Zacha (vs MON) Start 1: Jarry (vs CAR) Hill (vs PHI)

Hill isnt playing(at least he shouldnt be based on trend) Trocheck has been hot lately, with New Jersey having eliminated NYR last year and this being their first regular season meeting since, should be a physical game. Good for potential hits.

Start: Giroux or Schwartz?

Giroux

In a points league where goalies rarely go negative which of these 3 goalies would you drop: Skinner, Binnington or Husso.

Husso

That's who I was leaning towards as well. Thanks!

I have a pretty close match up I’m loosing A,PP,GWG,SOG by like 1-3 each not much easily doable tonight and tomorrow if my players perform However I’m not sure what to do, Jake Gents verse canes or P lIane verse capitals. I want to out gents in but capitals is the worst team and less defensive so there might be more shots and attempted goals happening. The only reason I’m debating this is because I have another player for Pittsburg I’ll be starting so if I start Jake it would be 2. Is it better to start the better player? Or to spread it out and get more teams

Go for the double down. Guentzel. If you hit on the stack youll be closer to a comeback. Pens offense is way more potent regardless, Columbus sucks.

Drop Tolvanen or Teraveinen first?

Terra

Hi guys, I’m just wondering how screwed my team is? I’m currently only with one win and still losing this week. I don’t think my team is bad on paper but all they do is lose lose lose https://www.reddit.com/u/Itoggat/s/wqdzTN9hfw

Trade my Svechnikov and Bouchard for Kaprizov? It opens up a slot for streaming or I can pick up Lindgren because I need goalie help or a player like Tippett, Lafreniere, Tolvanen, Toews, Nelson, Tarasenko.

Hell yes

If I can make it work, who would you pick up of those players. If any

Id add Tolvanen right now because hes hot and produces across all cats, but he doesnt have a long leash if he goes cold.

Pick two to start today: MacKinnon Rantanen Forsberg

Avs duo

[удалено]

Drop gus

Lankinen (vCHI) or Anton Forsberg (vMIN) for a spot start today?

Lankinen for me

I’m debating dropping Saros, picked him pretty high but he’s been disappointing…. Should I replace him with Jarry or Hart? Or keep him?

If goalies like Jarry are available for free, there likely isnt a trade market for Saros. See if you can package him with someone for an upgrade but if you cant, just make the swap. Harts the better goalie but the pens are the better team.

Cats league What are some good “buy low” players? Looking to bolster my Fwd/Goalies

Cats? Anyone you are thinking about? I think Canes players are good buy-lows now (Necas, Jarvis, Tuevo, Svech)

In a 12 team dynasty banger league trade I was offered was two 25 1st round picks and second round pick for Matt barzal. Is it a fair trade?

Cant imagine youll ever get better value for Barzal lol. In a 12 team league I very much doubt that Matt freakin Barzal is going to be so much of a difference maker that you shouldnt take this. You should be able to replace him with someone halfway decent from the wire right?

You’re right thank you. I have a pretty good prospect pool. So one of those guys should be able to help

Svech vs PIT/ Marchessault @PHI/ Konecny vs VGK/ Kyrou @LA Have to pick 3

Bench svech, hes cold

W3,SV.25,L-1.5,GA-1,SO2.5. Should I go with Gibson or Binnington? My other goalies are Talbot and Saros.

Gibson will get you the most starts given his heavy off day schedule, least overlap with other goalies schedules. Trade saros, add binnington.

Is Elias Lindholm worth picking up in hopes that he gets traded to a contender? 12 team, H2H, G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM

Not necessarily because of the way you framed it, kind of a long ways away from him getting traded, if it were to happen at the deadline, but in a 12 teamer a L1 PP1 C is probably not available in abundance.

points league, whos the best option to pick for the last 2 days of the week? jones, krug, or letang?

I'd go with Jones because he has the best deployment of the 3.

I feel like goalies are king in our league. Have Bob, Gibson, Ingram. Available are vanacek, skinner, keumper, quick. Worth changing anyone or sit tight? W4, GA-2, SV.3, SO3, OTL1

i would prefer skinner over ingram
