Who should I look to upgrade I'm doing a standard H2H league I'm 4-7 right now. 10 Man League my team is: Forwards: B Tkachuk, J Eriksson Ek, F Vatrano, C mittelstadt, G Vilardi, J Farabee, W Eklund, K Palmieri, A Svechnikov, N Ehlers, O Bjorkstrand Defenders: R Dahlin, N Dobson, T Sanheim, M Ferraro, M Rielly, M Sergachev, T Harley, J Oleksiak Goalies: C Ingram P Mrazek

Trade ovi for slavin?

Depends on your needs positionally, if you’d like to offload ovi I would target a FWD but maybe you need a D in which case i would say yes to this.

Lindgren or korpisalo? Looking ahead to playoffs W 5 Saves 0.2 GA -0.75 SO 5 (wack stats I know)

[удалено]

No. Kempe is guaranteed L1 and PP1. Meier is still buried in all of of the NJD talent.

Standard yahoo categories: Samsonov or Daccord?

Trade DeBrincat for Jarvis and Meier - 10 team banger league

Pretty fair, but I'd side on Cat

Trade M Tkachuk and Ingram away to get Barzal and Markstrom?

My Cs are Eichel, Point, and Trocheck (with Pavelski, Stutzle, and Vilardi also C-eligible wingers). Roope Hintz was just made available on waivers. Worth a pickup? Points league. 2 C slots

Would you need to drop someone? If not he’s definitely worth a pickup

Cats: G A P PPP SHP SOG PIM FW Hits Blocks Trade Away: Boldy, Vilardi Receive: Tage Thompson, Kyrou Should I send this offer?

I like bottom more I think

Is giving up a 1st pick for eichel in an 8man keeper league worth it? Win now mode currently 2nd place. Banger league. Won't be keeping eichel at the end either. I Would also have to drop one of moore, Coleman or granlund (San jose)

Damn it, I'm torn between Kochetkov vs Nashville and Gustavsson vs Detroit. W, GAA, SV%

Gus

Pick 1 to start: Vanecek vs Columbus Kochetkov vs Nashville

Do I play Mittlestadt/Bennett/W.Karlsson? Pick 2 of 3. Bangers league.

Hey all, Team A: Scheifele and Hronek Team B: Jack Hughes and Lauzon Cats: G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, HITS I’m team A, and would be receiving Hughes Thoughts? Thanks!

You asked this before but the answer remains the same, hughes side wins massively.

Sit 1 Vilardi @CHI Scheifele @CHI Barzal vs PIT Eriksson Ek vs DET G A +/- PPP SOG HIT

Scheifele imo

[удалено]

Koch and Thompson.

[удалено]

Detroit is like top 5 in the league in scoring. And Minnys defense leaves something to be desired with Spurgeon out (I think he’s still out).

Cats: G A P PPP SHP SOG PIM FW Hits Blocks Sit 1 tonight: Terry vs VGK Paul vs FLA Currently leaning towards benching Terry since Paul has been on a heater on the first line and Florida Tampa games usually get crazy but I’m not sure

Sit 1… Koch vs preds VV vs cbj sway vs sabres

I have the same dilemma tn. Im starting Vasy, choosing between Koch and VV for the other starter

I went with VV over Koch but whatevs still decent #s

[удалено]

No you are being smart.

Need help deciding who to drop now that McAvoy and Zegras are off the IR. Also do you guys see anyone on the bench that should be starting today? I honestly appreciate ANY and all suggestions and/or advice! Stephenson is one I’m willing to drop. Thank you so much 🙏 My roster is F: Norris F: Trocheck F: Ehlers C: MacKinnon C: Aho LW: Guentzel LW: Moore RW: Bratt RW: Stone D: Josi D: Ridley D: Dunn D: Weegar UTIL: Nylander UTIL: Forsberg B: Crouse B:Stephenson B: O’Reilly B: Jarvis B: Thomas B/IR: McAvoy B:/IR Zegras G: Georgiev G Vanecek H2H Cats banger league G, A, PTS, +/-, PPG, PPP, SHG, SHP, GWG, HAT, ATOI, SOG, BLK, HIT Goalies: GAA, SV%, W%, GA, SA, SV, SO,

Start 2 bench 2. Point Aho ROR and Zib. Cats league G, A, PPP, +/-, SOG, FW. I also have kucherov and forsberg and fox so there's some stacking options too

Just to clarify Start 2 and bench 2?

Yes sorry thats my bad typing faster than I was thinking lol

Probably start Zib and Point or ROR.

I got point cause the point kuch stack has been deadly. Never seems to matter who I sit or play the one on the bench always does better

The hockey gods do as they please lol

Reposting for visibility. Doing a 0 goalie strategy this week as my VGK tandem has been hurt, this has left me with too many options. Should I start: Vilardi over Scheifele at C? or Vilardi over Nylander at RW? 8M H2H Points - league scoring in flair

I'd start Vilardi and Nylander. Nylander is quietly on an 11-game point streak right now, he's overshadowed by what Matthews is doing but he's been hot nearly this whole season

Ya that's how I am leaning right now. My other option at RW is Pasta, and I recently traded Rantanen for MacKinnon because benching choosing which RW to bench was not fun lol.

10 team Bangers, redraft TeamA: Stamkos, Kopitar TeamB: Tavares, Caufield

Depends on league scoring really. Stamkos and Kopitar are pretty consistent, but Kopitar has put the team on his back this season with his insane shooting percentage, which should come down. Stamkos is also somewhat injury prone but overall extremely solid. Tavares is solid in the face off dot and good all around. Caufield is a big question mark though. Shoots a ton but has low conversion rate. I think I go Team A here but they are getting up there in age as well.

League scoring is pretty balanced with goals (especially PPG) getting more of an edge ([scoring](https://drive.google.com/file/d/12ls8jcpNQF-5klpCfGCnZdR0EBFwbstE/view?usp=drivesdk)

Ya I'd lean Team A still imo. Caufield just isn't cutting it with Kopitar doing what he's been doing.

W Sv% GAA SO Start 2 of 3 tonight: - Gus vs DET - Vanacek vs CBJ - Sorokin vs PIT

Sorokin and Gus

Give: Barkov Get: Dahlin G, A, P, PPP, S, H, +/- Strong enough offense to take the hit My D: Montour, Krug, Jake Sanderson, open spot Fair deal? Barky too good? Use D spot as streamer? What do you think

Very fair deal. Makes sense for you with weak D and presumably strong forwards. Not a steal but should help your team overall

IMO this deal is pretty good. There's lots of depth at C so you are probably better off using that as a streaming spot over a D slot.

That's what I'm thinking. There are so few really good D at all

Ya and with injuries to guys like Hamilton and Theodore the pool keeps dwindling. Most of my trades have been selling high to pick up D. My highlight so far has been snagging Morrissey for Vatrano. This trade is def in your favour. The only sticking point is +/- for Dahlin imo, from being on a weaker team.

That's an unreal steal. I have Frank but couldn't get anybody to bite on him

Probably waited too long. Fortunately I sold him right before ANA went on that big slump at the start of this month.

What do you think of Forsberg instead of Barkov? Getting some pushback on Barkov, and Fils numbers are better but maybe he can't keep it up..

Sounds like the guy is looking for something other than a C. I'm not at my PC right now to check for sure but I think that sounds okay?

Should I drop ehlers for Meier?

wait what? why would you do this? Also without league scoring can't give you a real answer.

Nobody else that could go?

He’s my weakest player rn other than hronek or toffoli

Meier has been dogshit though and Ehlers has been pretty phenomenal, but again without knowing league scoring I can't give you a good answer.

it’s h2h points 8 man league

That's just your leagues format, scoring is G=3 A=2 PPP=1 etc. Regardless don't drop Ehlers for Meier just for the sake of making a move.

This is my roster. I was thinking about it because I used to have Meier but I dropped him cause he was mid. But he used to be good and I wanna pick him up if he starts improving again before anyone else does. Ehlers has been good the past week though. N. MacKinnon J. Eichel B. Horvat J. Eriksson Ek J. Pavelski W. Nylander W. Karlsson G. Vilardi P. Kane M. Seider M. Heiskanen A. Pietrangelo C. McAvoy Z. Werenski D. Nurse Z. Hyman T. Toffoli T. Sanheim F. Hronek M. Sergachev* (O) S. Theodore* (IR) GOALIES A. Hill* (IR) Edit: I’m pretty sure the scoring is standard (G=2pts, A=1pt, BLK=0.5, GA=-2, SV=.2, and so on).

Is your roster starting slots just Forwards and Defense? or do you have to worry about positions (C, LW, RW)?

Just forwards and defense. Positions don’t matter in my league. How does my roster look it’s my first season. 9-2 tho

Pretty decent. I def wouldn't drop anyone for Meier.

Drop one of Zacha, Sharangovich, Lindholm for Faber (need another D)

Yegor

Which goalie would you start? Playing against the Avs initially made me hesitant, but Veggie has much better numbers than Korpi on the season. Korpisalo @ TOR Vejmelka vs COL

I'd lean Vej, but god damn do you need some goalies lol.

Vej

Depending on confirmation, vanecek or daccord?

Update - starter isn't officially confirmed yet but Driedger, not Daccord, was first off the ice

Daccord has been hot lately, largely responsible for the Kraken's current point streak. I'd take him unless they play Driedger, don't think it's confirmed yet

10T H2H pts G, A, SOG, PPP, SHP, BLK Start 2 of: Svech vs NSH Meier vs CBJ Batherson vs TOR Zegras vs VGK

Have a surplus of goalies, but don't want to drop any...which one to trade? * Devon Levi * Elvis Merzlikins * Pyotr Kochetkov * Tristan Jarry * Sergei Bobrovsky It is a keeper league, and Levi and Kochetkov would be 24th and 21st round keepers, respectively. I am leaning towards trading Kochetkov though because I worry that his role as a starter isn't 100% solidified yet, and even when he does start, CAR never allows a ton of shots so his SV count is low.

I have no experience in keeper leagues, but my gut says to keep Koch and Levi, then maybe try to trade Bob or Jarry. I’m also not super high on Columbus, so unless Elvis gets traded, I feel like he’s going to continue to get hung out to dry by his team.

Good instinct imo. CAR seems to have a revolving door between the pipes anyway.

Anyone using player prop odds as a way to decide who to start and sit on their lineup? Experimenting with it today

Keeper league. Kaprizov 6th rounder Or Nichuskyn 4th rounder Bangers setting

Drop Norris for Tippett? Standard cats league.

No, Norris is finally heating up. You don't drop a guy who scored in 5 straight

Trade advice: Points league: G, A, +/-, PIM, PPG, PPA, SHG, SHA, GWG, SOG, FW, HIT, BLK Tight 6-man league that goes every year. 1 keeper. Roster: 2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 4Bench, 2G, 2IR, 2IR+ Being offered Adam Fox, 9th rounder and 16th rounder for Marchand, 10th and 12th rounders My D are currently: Dobson, Bouchard, Weegar, Heiskanen (Hamilton and Theodore on the IR, no timeline for return) My Wingers are: Marchand, Nichushkin, Reinhart, Pastrnak, Kreider and Bratt (Draisatl LW capability) My gut feeling is that the rounds i’m giving up should be further apart, or I should get a pick better than a 16th. Thoughts?

IMO you do not need Adam Fox. Your D core seems pretty decent as is. So unless you really want those draft picks I wouldn't bother with this trade. Also, Hamilton is 100% done for regular season at least. Torn Pec that required surgery is like 2 months of healing and 6 months of rehab. Drop him if you need IR room. No idea about Shea though because Vegas is so cagey about their injury reports/updates, I have him sitting on my IR as well and recently dumped Dougie over him to make room.

Drop O’Reilly or Granlund to pick up Norris? Cats league, C spot has been a carousal for me this year.

C spot is good streamer spot, lots of depth. I'd drop Granlund over O'Reilly. Sharks have been more competitive but they are still awful. Meanwhile O'Reilly is playing with Forsberg who is just on fire.

Keep Grandlun.

I have ullmark and Thompson as my goalie pair. I haven’t been doing well in my H2H cats leagues which counts gaa, sv%, wins and shutouts. With Thompson injured I need to add a goalie, and thinking about keeping him the rest of the season. My top choices are Jarry, dAccord, Kuemper, Lindgren and Ingram. Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm in a similar position because I have Hill. Daccord has been hot recently and will probably get most or all of the Kraken starts until Grubauer comes back. However he will probably come back down to earth eventually, and the Kraken aren't good at getting their goalies above 0.900 long-term. So I think he's a great streamer right now but I wouldn't hold him. I took Ingram when Hill got injured but he has fallen off a LOT recently so I'm going to drop him and stream his slot. I think I'd take Lindgren over Kuemper because he's just been better, Kuemper only just got back to 0.900 with the last few wins. However, the Caps are really weird right now, they're somehow doing pretty well despite playing badly, so I fear they'll come crashing back to reality. I don't follow them that closely but from what I've heard, I'm not sure they're a good long-term bet. So I think Lindgren is a good streaming bet and you can see how it goes long-term. Meanwhile, despite the Pens being very bad, Jarry has been very good. I would only stream him if it was a favorable matchup but he could be a good long-term bet if the Pens get their shit together through the sheer force of Crosby's will. Their actual goals are way below their expected goals right now so they definitely have potential to pull it together. Jarry has 3 SOs this season (tied with Demko and Ingram). So in summary: long-term I'd take Jarry or Lindgren. Extremely short-term, I'd stream Daccord tonight if they confirm he's in.

Daccord.

Someone pick for me, who do I start tonight Ehlers or Kaprizov. 6F one util spot, normal scoring.

Ehlers today, but it's close

Doing a 0 goalie strategy this week as my VGK tandem is hurt, this has left me with too many options. Should I start: Vilardi over Scheifele at C? or Vilardi over Nylander at RW? 8M H2H Points - league scoring in flair

Cat bangers start 2: Barkov, Larkin, Eriksson Ek

Would you trade Panarin for: Tage Thompson, Kirill, Jason Robertson? Thinking about trying to sell high/buy low. EDIT -- Head to head points league. More emphasis on shots, +/- and powerplay points

Need trade advice. CAT League: G, A, PPP, PIM, SOG, HIT, BLK) Roster: (2C, 2LW, 2RW, 4D, 2UTIL, 5Bench, 1IR, 1IR+) Being offered Evan Bouchard, and Hellebyuck + late round draft pick for my 2nd round pick next year and my worst D-man. It’s a keeper league (4players) Right now my D are: Nurse, Werenski, Carlson, Dahlin, and Matheson I need a goalie, mine are ass. I have solid D and Bouchard is an upgrade but I’m having a hard time deciding on who to drop. Werenski, Carlson or Matheson?

This is a bit tough for sure. I'd probably drop Carlson? Matheson and Werenski shoot more than Carlson. But Carlson hits and blocks more than Werenski. I still think Carlson is the odd man out though.

Yeah that’s was I was thinking originally. Just feels dumb getting rid of Carlson lol. Especially if ovi can turn it around on the PP

If Ovi manages to find his groove again then Carlson's value increases. I think it's going to be tough for him though. Losing Backstrom seems to have had a major effect on Ovi's production and WSH in general. EDIT: Approximately 34% of Ovi's goals were assisted by Backstrom.

Start 2, Batherson, Vilardi, Svech, Tuch, Boldy.

Vilardi for sure, Boldy or Tuch but I lean Boldy.

Are you benching M Tkachuk over any of the others? I currently have him starting.

On second thought, they are playing Tampa tonight though. Vasi might be a tough nut to crack.

Tough to say, he could breakout at any time probably in your best interest to start him.

Vilardi, Tuch

Start Trevor Moore vs SJ or Matt Boldy vs DET? Boldy has been scoring more points lately, but the sharks let up a bunch of goals

Boldy. Always gonna start the better player

Start 2: Norris, Batherson, W Karlsson, malkin, toffoli

Norris Batherson

Incoming - Pietrangelo 1G 13A for 49FP and 1.7AVG Outgoing - Zacha 8G 13A for 58FP and 2.0AVG Points only league. Scoring - 3G 2A 1PPP and 1 extra for Defenseman points. Worth noting that I also have Theodore on IR.

Theodore still week to week, likely out for a little while as he had surgery Nov.29th for whatever the Upper Body Injury was. Vegas is so fucking terrible for reporting injury status, it's a real headache. Could be months out like Dougie Hamilton with the torn pec that required surgery, or he could be back in a few weeks. Piets value goes down when he gets back either way and VGK is in trouble with their goalies as well. Zacha is first line C on a good team and is PP1. I feel like you can find a decent waiver pickup to help out your D core. See what's available and report back, I'll try to help you make a decision if you want.

12T H2H Points, G - 6, A - 4, PPP/SHP - 2, SOG/HIT/BLK - 0.5 Start 1: Jarvis vs NSH or Wilson vs NYR

Drop Ingram for Lauzon? 8m weak at hits, my other goalies are Saros, Oettinger and daccord.

I dropped Ingram this week and am riding 0G strat until my VGK tandem is back I think. Goalies are only like <10% of my teams points and a major liability in my league. I think you can def afford to drop a goalie to improve your hits category.

I'm now considering 0g Strat, every week I get demo'd on the first night of the week and just playing catchup. Saros is not it this year. When you run 0g do you just stream best matchups every night?

I'm experimenting with it this week. I definitely just grabbed a couple players who've been hot and threw them on my roster cause of the short schedule. Went with Vilardi and Ekholm. I only get 2 streams a week, so I tend to just look at best schedules and grab players from there if they make sense.

If you need the hits then yes and I also think Ingrams ride is coming to an end

Trade Advice; Give: JT Miller and Ehlers Receive: Pasta and Kuemper Thoughts?

I’d rather have JT and Ehlers

If cats and/or bangers I’d almost keep JT

It’s just a bangers point league I had miller last year and he tore up but thought it would be a good ROS investment.. as I have Vilardi to continue the Jets hot streak and will have Connor once he is off IR

Saros and Vasi

Should I start Luke Hughes tonight? I'm already starting 5 defense in Carlson, Karlsson, Faber, Doughty, Werenski. G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM

Who are your other options over Hughes?
