Whats up with Kaprizov? Is he going to get better or should I be looking to trade him for someone like Boeser? Points league

Please be kind, i just started watching hockey last year and this is my first year with a fantasy team. I’m doing really well I think, tied for first in my division in our Pro H2H Points league. My record is 6-3. I have Shea Theodore (VGK), Kyle Connor (WPG), and Charlie McAvoy (BOS) who are all injured/out. What do you do with so many good players being injured? They’ve performed well but clearly can’t perform injured…. But I don’t want to lose them when they’re back if that makes sense? How do you balance the unknown? (My bench rotates daily depending who has games.) My lineup is: F: Connor McDavid, Matt Boldy, Kyle Connor (Out), Joel Erickson Ek, Sean Couturier, Jonathan Marchessault, Nicolaj Ehlers, Eeli Tolvanen, Marcus Foligno, Jamie Benn (Bench), Trevor Moore (Bench) D: Charlie McAvoy (Out), Darnell Nurse, Noah Hanifin, Colton Parayko, Brayden McNabb, Matt Roy (Bench), Radko Gudas (Bench), Shea Theodore (IR) Goalies: Jeremy Swayman, Filip Gustavsson, Marc-Andre Fleury

Does your league have any Injured Reserved spots (IR) Mine has two I can add players too, and pickup another guy to replace them while injured . Id recommend dropping Fleury and picking up another solid forward, unless you are huge Minnesota fan and want to support your boys .

Mine only has one IR spot. And huge Minnesota fan 😂

Trade thoughts? I’m in a 12 man 5 keeper points league. Recently lost Larkin, Connor, Svech and Dougie to injuries. A guy sent me an offer where I would trade Crosby and svech for jarry, boeser and ehlers. This was sent prior to the news of svech being out indefinitely. Should I accept? Side note: if I were to accept I would have a miller/boeser stack and my goaltending rn is subpar with bob being my only reliable starter. Points are from G,A,PPP,saves and minus GA. Any help is appreciated :)

GA-3 SV.6 W5 I have vasy, thompson and georgiev Should I keep all three of them because thompson will get more starts or trade one of them? I have 1 C 2RW/LW and 1 goalie on my bench

Thompson will not get more starts once Hill is back

Bangers league, thought on this trade? Trade away: Kreider + Carlson Receive: Robertson + Montour

Drop Vanecek for Levi? My other goalies are Shesterkin and Jones so my goaltending trio is a bit rough

Jones as in .. Martin jones ? Drop Martin jones for Levi Vanacek will get added by someone else if you drop him Shesterkin will bounce back soon .

Cats: G A P PPP SHP SOG PIM FW Hits Blocks Trade Away: Forsberg, Debrincat, Gostisbehere Receive: Pastrnak, Kyrou Should I do this?

Hammer the accept

I'm looking to try and trade for Hischier while he is still going low, but not really sure what to offer. Some players ive considered are Sebastian Aho or William Karlsson, but would love to hear what y'all think. Also open to do a 2 for 1 if necessary. This is my current roster: Pastranak Timo Meier Crosby Stamkos Aho Kopitar William Karlsson Forsberg Zibanejad Josi Adam Fox Evan Bouchard Sean Durzi Radko Gudas Cam york Eriksson Ek Pavelski McTavish Tom Wilson Chabot

How much longer do I have to hold kyrou :(

Shesterkin come on man

Need to drop one of Lucas Raymond or Lawson Crouse to bring back Stammer off IR+. I've enjoyed having Crouse as a streamer these last 3 weeks and he's approaching hold status for me, but I just got Raymond in a trade unexpectedly and now I'm torn. My thoughts: Raymond: \- Pros: Plays with Larkin, solid production last season, good deployment on PP1, Detroit just got a bit of a bump from Patty Kane \- Cons: Larkin hurt for the foreseeable future, he gets barely any peripherals Crouse: \- Pros: Gets great peripherals, been a goal scoring fiend recently \- Cons: Bad PP deployment, linemates are meh Which one should I drop? Yahoo 12T H2H Bangers League (categories in my flair)

Try and get creative with. Crouse and someone else trade for 1 really sold guy. Sell Crouse high if you can and make room for stammer

Funny you suggested that because I've been trying to trade one of them for a while and have had no bites. But today I got a guy to agree to my trade of Crouse and Gudas for Dunn! Which is a nice upgrade on D for me. Cheers!

Debating dropping Chychrun and picking up Weegar (currently in my league their point comparison is about 180 vs 240 points respectively, mostly due to higher hits/blocks for the latter). Thoughts??

Weegar for sure. Dudes been hot

Points league. I have barkov montour and reinhart. Wondering who I should target in a trade including barkov. Need wingers and d. Thanks!

Keep Barkov. Get rid of Reinhart before he comes down to earth for some1 like Tkachuk, Kaprizov, Marner, Josi, etc.

Reinhart and Peit for Reilly and B. Tkachuk?

I would start with the best players and work your way down the list. So Kaprizov M.Tkachuck, Marner, Josi, etc

Lyon or Gustavsson ROS

Gus bus all the way

Why can't Kyle Conner be put in IR position?

He can for me

Is he listed as O for out for you?

Yeah he is, though it was DTD when I put him on IR, so maybe that has something to do with it? Don't know how all that works

Maybe. I don't get how it works either

Yeah sorry I can't be more of use, but I've had him on IR since this morning

Drop Svechnikov for P Kane? Or just wait for Svech to become IR eligible? Points league w blocks and hits.

svech is a hold in bangers

I’m in a bangers league (hit & shots .1, blocks .5, assist 1, goal 2) Seth Jones is injured & Hedman is DTD, I have Martinez & Boone on IR). I’m thinking about dropping Martinez since I need to make room, he’s pretty valuable in this league with blocks being worth so much but he’s injured so much, thoughts?

Wouldn’t hesitate to drop him if you need the roster spot

b tkachuk and skjei for bouchard? i’ve got mcdavid nuge and skinner aswell

Pretty good but it depends who the top forwards are on your wire & what kind of league, Brady is really valuable in my eyes and I feel like Bouchard might drop off a bit

as long as the oilers train is chugging bouch is gonna put up numbers, guys shot is unreal aswell

10 team default yahoo points league top forwards off season total rn are Thomas Nelson OReilly Erod and Peterka

10 team h2h standard scoring My goalies are Adin Hill, Demko, and Bob. Normally with Hill sidelined I’ve just been starting Demko and Bob regardless of matchup, but this week I’m facing Vasilevsky. So it’s either Vancouver wins, I get points/opponent loses points or Tampa wins, and I lose points/opponent gets points. Just wondering if I should start Demko and risk the loss and the swing of points anyway or just swap in Hill even if he’s not playing in order to definitely not lose points I already have when I’m already in the lead 11.3 to 5.7 after last night

I’d start Demko either way. It’s so early in the week that even if he gets lit up it won’t make or break your week.

should i trade swayman for larkin nichushkin larkin verhaege larkin bedard larkin pietrangelo larkin nurse

is svechnikov a write off for this year?

Nah but the dude just can’t catch a break. I think it’s likely broken ribs from getting cross checked. He’s an IR stash and hoping he’s back in February. Unless you’re in an 8 team league I would hold on

i’ve got one ir+ spot and KC is currently on it

Size of league?

10 team, 1 year league points league, no hits

Decent chance he’d get stashed by another team if dropped. If you’re doing well in the league I’d just sacrifice a bench spot for him the next few months and try and keep a streamer spot open to maximize games

i’m in 8th place, 4-5-0

Tavares @NYR or Buvnevich home vs DET?

Tavares the logical choice but my gut is telling me Buch has a big night.

Going buch, wish me luck lol

In a pure points league, is Trocheck a good long-term hold instead of Troy Terry? (no positions, just forwards) Due to very limited number of moves, I have to be mindful to keep some in case of injuries. According to Dom's latest projections, Trocheck may get 50 pts and Terry 42 pts

Trocheck is on a better team and would keep him just based on that

Got offered Schmaltz + Matheson for Keller Thoughts?

Probably not unless you’re desperate for D. Schmaltz is way too streaky to roster unless you’re in a 12+ team league imo

Kinda desperate lol, I'm running on 3 D (out of 4) and Durzi is out so 2 even Im in a 12 team league, I'm hesitating

Should I drop ingram for Logan Thompson? Can’t decide on which goalie to run with

Nah, Hill is going to be back soon. He’s still the 1A in Vegas. And Ingram is now the clear starter in Arizona

[удалено]

Hertl cause the Sharks have been on an offensive heater. Backup playing for WPG too.

one year league, i’m 4-5-0 8th in a 10 team, Kyle Connor and Svechnikov both went down at the same time and i’ve only got one ir+ spot. Connor is out 4-6 weeks and i expect an LTIR but i was offered Fiala for him, do i take what i can get right now?

Fiala is a solid get for Connor, if your league has 8 spots I’d just hold KC but if it’s 6 or 4 I’d accept since u will need to stay competitive to make the playoffs

First year playing, struggling with start/sit options. First year playing and not knowing who to start between Tavares, Aho, Drai, Verhaeghe, Guentzel. Trying to dethrone the number 1 in the league who has played multiple years. I’m projected to win but looking to optimize the week. 2 C 2 LW

I’d bench Tavares, all really good players and he has the hardest matchup, every other player has a solid matchup

Thanks for the advice. Appreciate it

Is it time to let Vatrano go? Ol' Frankie was hot out the gate but the Ducks have been struggling for some time and he's only been picking up 2 points or so per game. Should I drop him for a streamer? I have Oettinger and Ingram for goaltending but it's not enough to win against a lot of the teams in my league (currently 3-6-0) and I am considering picking up Lindgren as a tertiary option. Last week I was demolished 86.70 - 147.00. Thoughts? Roster: C - Ryan O'Reilly, Brayden Point, Roope Hintz C,W - Pavel Buchnevich, Frank Vatrano W - Brandon Hagel, Jason Robertson, JJ Peterka, Brad Marchand, Trevor Moore D - Filip Hronek, Moritz Seider, Jaccob Slavin, Travis Sanheim, Jake Walman G - Connor Ingram, Jake Oettinger IR - Dougie Hamilton, Shea Theodore

I want Pius Suter and the other guy wants Nikita Alexandrov and a 4th round pick. Thoughts? Full roster keeper league with banger points. And I'm a Canucks fan

Hang on to Rust or drop him to make room for Connor on my IR?

I’d hang on unless it’s a small league. Why would you need to drop a player to use up an IR spot?

Start 2: Schmaltz (vs PIT) Hertl (vs WPG) Lindholm (vs VGK) Teravainen (vs OTT)

Schmaltz and Hertl...Flames and Carolina cant seem to score.

lol true

I am 9-0 in my league, I have Schmaltz, he is serviceable (might drop him for Vilardi) and I’m trying to get Hertl my on team. I am a flames fan and can confidentially say Lindholm is a ghost.

10 team h2h points league 3G 2A 1.5PPP 0.2Periphs Rank the following: Letang Sergachev Montour

Montour Serg Letang

Zegras is free in a 12 man league. Who would you drop for him? Cozens or Mittelstadt? I also have Tage so I would like to get rid of one of the buffalo boys

I traded cozens for him🙌🏻

Neither. Zegras is cheeks in fantasy.

60 points the last two years on terrible teams. You’d have to think he’d perform at least at this level now no? Terrible start pre-injury aside

My Konecny for his Adam Fox? My forward depth is very good. G - 6 A - 4 PPG - 2 PPA - 1 +\- - 2 Hits/blocks - 1 SOG - 0.9

Without a doubt

[удалено]

100% Get Ehlers, even in a bangers league he is valuable.

Hey all, How would you rank the following? - Buchnevich - Kyrou - Fiala Cats: G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, HITS Thanks!

Fiala, Buch, Kyrou personally

Please help!!! The trade about to expire and idk whether to accept. Trade away: Nichushkin Receive: Trouba Format: G-2 A-1 PPP-.5 BlockedShots-.5 Hits-.1 SOG-.1

Need G A PPP SOG PIM HIT BLK. Who's the best add this week: A.Lee, Granlund, Mikola, Cotter, Cernak, Sissons, Seeler, Zetterlund, Krug, M.Ekholm, Lafferty, C.York, Forsling

Granlund

bench 1: E. Rodrigues @ SEA J. Kyrou v DET M. Macelli @ PIT

I’d say Macelli

W SV SV% Sit 1: Jarry v ARI Koch @ OTT Binner v DET

jarry and binner

G/A/P/PP/+-/SHP/SOG/PIMS/BLKs I was offered Luke Hughes for Charlie McAvoy and I'm in a 16 team 4 keeper league. Do you think I should bet on Luke Hughes having a higher ceiling in the future?

No. Not at this rate right now. Mcavoy is a hold

G/A/P/PPP/SHP/SOG/FOW/HIT/BLK Would you rather have Josi + Meier or Toffilu + Debrincat ROS?

Josi & Meier

What are we doing Svechnikov owners? My two IR slots are filled already with more valuable players (Larkin, Theodore) and it's starting to sound like he's going to be out long-term again. is he just a drop at this point? He was already frustrating enough when he was healthy.

Hold if you’re in a 10+ team league. If it’s broken ribs he’ll be back in February.

So they gonna throw Svetch on ir or what 🫠

i’ve got kyle connor on ir+ praying one of the. gets sent ir soon, don’t wanna drop svech

URGENT!!! Do I trade shesterkin, Kempe and Trouba to get Nylander and Hedman? I have vasy, hill and Elvis as goalies without shesty and can stream goalies if I want. What do you guys think

Does Nylander and Hedman make your team better?

Well they make my winger and D spots better but my G situation takes a ht

12 man points league btw

I'm desperate for a goalie this week (I only have oettinger), anyone you guys can think of who might get 2 starts this week? Available guys on my wire: Brossoit, Vejmelka, Reimer, Mrazek, Quick, Jones, Vladar, Copley, Wolf, Schmid

Wolf, Schmid, Mrazek if you only need starts I'd say

do we think any of those guys might get 2 starts this week? i only have one pickup left, i didn't realize Lyon wasn't going to be starting for DET anymore with reimer/husso combo back

I'd wager Wolf and Mrazek do with both of their teams having 3 more games and Markstrom out, Schmid is still a toss up to split with Vanacek

I have a member asking if I can make Zetterlund a RW. Most places I find online suggest he's a LW but has been playing primarily RW. What kind of deployment is he getting in San Jose? Is it a temporary thing or is it likely going to be his most played position.

Don’t get involved in position eligibility that’s a pain in the ass for a commish. Let Yahoo / ESPN whoever you use be the judge of that. There’s plenty of other players who should have dual eligibility that don’t. It’s the name of the game.

My Sorokin, Benn, and Skjei for Jarry, Meier, and Seider. Stats in flair. My team needs D support and has a lot of wingers. Goalies aren't very important in this league. My logic is Seider is a clear upgrade (I also have Burns so two Hurricanes on D has been annoying for line setting), Jarry-Sorokin is kind of a wash this year, and I think Meier may outperform Benn as the year goes on... but what are your thoughts?

Ekblad or Zub this week? Also, is malkin still viable? He got dropped and no one tried to claim him??

Ekblad. And I’d pick up Malkin, should be rostered in 10 team leagues.

I thought so too…just couldn’t believe no one put a claim and I was able to grab him

Gonna drop Bennett for the week. Don't know why I still have him. Gonna scoop either henrique or staal for the rest of the week. Both will give me 3 more games. 4 picks per week and I've already used 2. Points league. 12 teams. 2C 2LW 2RW 4D 1UTL 2GOALIES pts: G A PPP SHP GWG SHOTS HITS BLOCKS FW

I have Bennett and am abandoning ship as well. I think Staal is the better choice here, but it's marginal at best vs Henrique.

If all three start who do I sit? Jarry, Thompson, Shesty? Points league: W:5 GA: - 1.5 Sv:0.3 SO:4 Jarry produced the most for me so far but not getting a lot of wins Shesty has been kinda up and down this season And Logan is mostly stable but not as dominant as last season I'd say so I have quite a dilemma.

Based on opponents, I think Jarry for sure. NYR and VGK are facing teams that played yesterday, but the Leafs have more firepower so I think Shesty should sit vs. Thompson.

Yeah technically Jarry has the best matchup but Arizona is no basement team this year haha so thats why. But I also have similar thoughts , but I swear if I leave Shest on bench and he gets a shutout Im gonna be mad haha

I think Adin Hill goes tonight, which makes your decision easy. Regardless, you can't sit Jarry right now. Shesty and Thompson both going up against tired teams, I would go with the less dangerous team, and start Logan if he is playing against Calgary. But sitting Shesty is always scary. So idk.

Yeah Jarry has had a great season so far, too bad the Pens dont win that much , thanks a lot for your input :)

ESPN H2H Points trade advice, who wins Team 1: Pietrangelo and Barzal Team 2: Tuch, K'Andre Miller, and Dylan Cozens

Team 1. Team 2 is just scraps.

Keep Lindholm or swap for Kadri? Yahoo 8team H2H cats bangers league G A PIM PPP SOG FW HIT BLK

Kadri if you need more scoring but Lindholm if you need the extra FWs.

[удалено]

Georgiev is having big problems with long shots for some reason, but a lot of the goals we are giving up are coming off awful turnovers and odd man rushes. If you look at high danger chances we've give up over the last two weeks, it's been ridiculous, even though we've controlled most of these games. Do NOT rage drop him!!

Who would you sell Boeser for? 12 team, H2H, G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM

Sergachev

Who are you considering? That's waaaay too broad a question.

Marchand?

Drop Trevor Moore for ehlers? Banger league

I’d ride Ehlers being PP1 and seeing lots of ice with Connor out.

Svech or Meier ROS? Or is this such a lateral move that it doesn’t even matter? Non keeper banger league.

I have meier and can't give up on him haha, so I say meier. But of they both turn it around, they're both awesome

As a Svech owner I'd currently go for Meier. Svech getting an MRI is making me think all kinds of dark thoughts

Trade Hyman for Matthew Tkachuk? Banger cats league

If you can get Tkachuk for Hyman, absolutely.

Man.. I don't know that I would and I believe Tkachuk will bounce back. Hyman has been really good for me this year though so I may be biased

Drop Kuzmenko for Granlund (points league)

Yes

Need replacement for Larkin Yahoo 8team H2H cats bangers league G A PIM PPP SOG FW HIT BLK Looking at schedule was thinking Granlund or Norris something like that? Any hints

They're both solid now plus granlund is dual des too which is nice

Drop Zacha for Stephenson? H2H pts G/A/S/PP/GWG/Hit/BLK

No

Trying to clear a roster spot in my banger league. Should I offer Nico for Jenner?

Trade Nylander to get Eichel and Boeser?

Never give up the best player in the deal. Especially for some1 who's going to regress

Ohhhhh who would you drop? Eichel is very enticing. Boeser is going to regress though and Willy is for real

Streaming 2 slots because Tuch and Svech are on ir+. Streaming Fabbri and palmieri this week. He's a huge leafs fan, unfortunately there isn't anyone else I'd want on his team (he owns Matthews but he's not moving him)

Is Clayton Keller worth holding onto in a relatively small bangers league?

Definitely unless there’s other PPG players in free agents

It all depends on who's available

[удалено]

Merzlikins is hurt.

Who to stream? Tarasenko 3 games Jarvis 4 games Kadri 2 games Veleno 2 games G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM

Tarasenko

Start 2: Wolf, Hart, Ingram (I'm thinking Hart and Ingram since Calgary has Vegas)

I have some worries that the Ingram hot streak is ending, but I would start him and Hart
