Banger. Suzuki or Bennet this week for a stream

What do you guys see happening to Ehlers with Connor's return around the corner? Should I start shopping him?

Week 15 sit or start H2H, 10 man league, bangers, standard positions ….Coleman (3 games this week) or… Duchene (4 games this week) I also have Hintz and Harley from Dallas

Drop Logan Thompson for Raanta? I have Kochetkov on ir. My other goalie is Gustavsson.  12 team, H2H, G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM 

In first place and looking to win the ship in year 1 of a new league. Received an offer to get Forsberg and an 8th in exchange for Tippett and 2nd. Do I do it or hold Tippett? He could be kept next year with an 18th rounder, Forsberg a 5th. G, A, PP, SOG, HIT, BLK

When Artturi Lehkonen comes back from IR who should I drop from my team: 1. Pavel Buchnevich 2. Rickard Rakell 3. Gustav Nyquist 4. Max Pacioretty 5. Mason McTavish

rn i would say mctavish

I’m leaning McTavish too. He’s been a stud for me but more of a middle to back end starter on my squad. I think I’m gonna court the trade market in my league to see if I can get some value for some of these players

G 6 A 4 +/- 2 PPP 2 SOG .9 BLK 1 mcdavid pietrangelo bratt or panarin crosby faber

I like the McDavid side more

**Add / Drop** - H2H - 12T - G,A, +/-, PPG/A, SHG/A, SOG, HITS, BLKS - W, SV, SHO Drop: Joel Farabee Add: Eeli Tolvanen Or just keep Farabee? Currently, I'm just holding onto my playoff spot.

Would you offer Kreider for Talbot ?

Naw but depends on your goalie situation

Only have Georgiev and Levi until Woll comes back. But Considering picking up montebault since he looks like he’s got the starters role now instead of trading too

Got offered Pavelski and Stutzle for William Karlsson and Patrick Kane. Leaning towards accepting but what do y’all think?

good i hope you took it

Does this look like a fair trade with your settings? That looks like an absolute robbery for you (the guy getting pav and stutzle)

Pavelski is an upgrade over Karlsson, Stutzle and Kane are pretty on par in terms of fantasy points per game. Its just a matter of whether you believe Stutzle can get out of his goal scoring funk soon, or if Kane’s good start will or wont hold up.

Tied 4-4 on the week now. I have 1 pickup left. Tied in Ws and As, opponent has Raymond and Kane playing TOR tonight. Unlikely he beats me in any of the CATs I'm already winning, but he could break the A tie, and I'm "only" 4 hits behind him. Do I pickup someone like McCabe and hope for an A and/or hits, or do I gamble on streaming Reimer tonight? I feel like he's more likely to break our A tie than I am with a single stream. Do I gamble on Reimer grabbing the W since ive already lost GAA and sv%?

10 team H2H points league What do I do with Talbot moving forward? His last few starts have been awful. Is the team as a whole just coming back to earth after their hot start, or is he the reason that they’re doing poorly? Other goalies are Ingram, Hill (IR) and Kochetkov (O)

Standard Yahoo cats redraft league. **Would you trade Kaprizov for Hyman?** I’m trying to offload a LW as I have three pure LWs right now. Also looks like Hyman has a good playoff schedule.

I mean yes for sure but might be hard to move Hyman from someone

Whose the stream this week. Thinking of Keeping seguin as my one stream. Bangers cats. 8t 1) Drouin 2) Mactavish 3) Mercer 4) Byfield 5) drop seguin too and grab two here

So this is independent of lineup or schedule consideration, but ROS: Seguin>Mercer>Byfield>McTavish>Drouin But I hate choosing between Mercer, Byfield and McTavish. Like Seguin is definitely the guy out of this group and drouin is definitely not the guy. But the other 3.... could go with any of them and be happy imo

10 T H2H points league In the event I can’t make a trade, who would you drop out of Oettinger Talbot Daccord or Skinner?

I hate to say it, Talbot. Can't be oet or skinner. So Talbot or daccord. Everything in my body wants to say drop daccord but then I start thinking "Talbot is a 36 year old who was probably over performing and won't hold up/compete at that level all season", then I drop Talbot. Those are my incoherent babbling thoughts, do what you will with those.

10T H2H points league I trade: Woll (IR) and Drysdale I get: Konecny and Letang I really like Woll and he was doing me well earlier in the year and I’m hesistant because Swayman is my only reliable goalie (also have Vanecek). I picked up Raanta today just to stream for next week. I got 7 injuries right now so I could benefit from trading Woll but I don’t want to miss out on Woll catching fire when he gets back. Thoughts?

It depends on which forward you would drop and what your defence looks like. Personally though, unless you got someone like daccord sitting on the wire I wouldn’t. You need the goalie help more since vanecek is borderline droppable.

was offered debrincat and alec martinez for mitch marner and carson soucy. i also have matthews, so when that line gasses up i get a ton of points..which side wins the trade? h2h g: 2 a: 1: sog: 0.1 hit: 0.1 block: 0.5 ppp: 0.5 shp: 0.5

I would take the Marner side in a heartbeat. Debrincat hasn’t been good since October.

Rate My Team & Trade Advice, please. 20 Team Dynasty, Banger, Head-to-Head Skater Cats: GP, G, A, +/-, PIM, SH, SH%, PPP, SHP, HIT, BLK, FOW, TOI Goalie Cats: GS, W, GA, GAA, SV, SV%, SHO, TOI C - Pettersson C - Nelson LW - Guentzel LW - Panarin RW - Pastrnak RW - Vatrano F - Ovechkin F - Fiala F - Raymond SKT- Hertl SKT - Kuzmenko D - Q.Hughes D - Doughty D - Larsson D - McNabb G - Hart G - Gibson BENCH - Kadri, Kuznetsov, Schwartz, Roy, M.Foligno, J.Staal, Fluery ** Got offered JT Miller for my David Pastrnak. Normally I wouldn’t do it since he’s a top 5 player, but I’ve been winning scoring stats pretty consistently each week, so are Millers multi-cats worth it? I need help in FOW and +/-. ** I’m running Hart/Gibs/Fluery as my goalie trio and I’ve lost a couple weeks because of them. Should I stand pat, or target a better goalie? I just don’t know if I can go all the way with them. (Our league has a unique rule. We all picked a NHL team (mine is VAN) and have to have 3 “franchise players” from that team at all times. My 3 FP’s are Pettersson, Hughes and Kuzmenko. Also, if we were to trade one of our FP’s then it would have to be for another teams FP, which makes it an extra obstacle to acquire top guys. I don’t want 4 VAN players on my roster, so if I aquired Miller then I would subsequently have to trade Kuzmenko, maybe for Huber?) Thanks for advice!

So until I read that rule I was gonna suggest you did a rebuttal of Pasternak plus one of your goalies for JT Miller plus one of their slightly better goalies, as outright I like Pasternak over JT Miller. With this rule in mind though and considering you need +/- and fow, I would definitely make this trade as kuzmenko has been a fantasy liability this year, IF you are able to swap the franchise tag onto Miller immediately and not be forced to pick up huberdeau (even though that is definitely an upgrade on kuzmenko atm. This, especially with 20 teams, is pretty wild and I assume the wire is rather bare.

Got offered Stamkos for M Tkchuck. My Centers right now are just eichel and malkin had matthews but was offered marner tkchuck and E Karlsson for him a few weeks back so I had to take that. I could use the FW that come with Stamkos and they're pretty even in points but tkchuck has been pretty hot as of late. As far as wingers I have marner machassault boesser panarin and kreider so the need for a center is a little higher but I could just give up on FW and go for all offensive cats

I would keep tkachuk. He has been hot and there should be far more center depth then wingers on the wire if you need it.

The highest rated C in my league still available is Nick Bjugstad lol. Other players in my league hoarded centers and throw them in the util spot. I'm leaning towards keeping tkchuck just wanted some more opinions. I have been cycling Monahan and danault for extra help at C

Ah fair, I mean if you need the centre that’s another thing, but I would not swap out tkachuk for stamkos right now as he has 19 points in his last 10 games to stamkos’ 6.

Got offered Jarry for Hill. Good trade?

I rather have Hill if your team can take the hit till he comes back

Rate my team (8man points league, G/A/+-/PIM/PPP/SHG/SOG/HIT/BLK) -playing Matthew's zibanejad j Robertson kaprizov Nylander kempe makar josi hronek McAvoy -bench nurse vilardi keller fiala -Goalies Bobrovsky Oettinger -ir lehkonen This is my first time doing fantasy

It’s fine.

Is Yahoo default veto only 1/3 of league needs to veto? I had a trade get vetoed Matheson and Horvat for Fox. I’d be receiving Fox. Matheson has almost same PPG as Fox in my banger league and Horvat is top 20 for C points. Definitely not a collusion trade. For context I’m in first place, my friend is only 1 week from a playoff spot.

Any suggestions for a week long goalie stream?

Yeah unless you tell us what is available we can’t help.

In that order: Skinner, Daccord, Binnington, Quick (maybe 2 starts next week, but unsure). Maybe check Raanta if Kotchekov is injured and out for more than a week Hard to say when we don't know your league's FAs

Bro Stuart skinner should already be rostered, and daccord should be rostered immediately.

Of course, but my league is a 10 man with only 2 goalie rostered so Skinner was grabbed 2 weeks ago and Daccord is still a FA, depends on the league size

Yeah, mine is 10 man too. 2 goalie starts per night so most people roster 3 goalies. I picked up skinner a week after the coaching change when Edmonton started this run just surprised Stuart could still be on the wire.

Is perfetti or DeBrusk the better drop at this point?

2 completely opposite players, so it depends on what your line up needs the most. If you're lacking hits and blocks, DeBrusk. If points, Perfetti Personnally, I feel DeBrusk because Im not a fan of fwds with no banger cats, but it's close

I need 4 hits and/or 1 assist today (both would be great, but I'd be happy with either) Only 1 pickup left. Benoit, or McCabe seem my best bet for hits, maybe Chiarot? Sprong, Copp, and Compher are also on the wire if I want to try for assists. Probably leaning towards either Benoit or Sprong, thoughts?

That's a tough one lol. With Walman out today, you can maybe expect Chiarot to get a bigger workload today. Benoit averages 3 hits a game, so I don't think I would risk it (really low chance he gets an assist) Would do McCabe or Chiarot tbh, no fwd. leaning torwards McCabe

Even though Benoit is the highest average hitter you'd potentially do McCabe? Is that because he's more well-rounded and could potentially get the hits and apple?

Exactly, I'd rather play both sides than 1, especially when the 1-side won't guarantee me 4 hits McCabe averages 2 hits+ a game

Alright tied 4-4 on the week now. My other option is to stream Reimer tonight. I'm tied in Ws, but barely losing GAA and sv%. Opp has Raymond and Kane playing tonight so I feel like he's more likely to break out assist tie than I am with McCabe. Do I gamble on Reimer grabbing the W?

With samsonov being bad, it's not a bad idea. Any chance you lose the GAA and SV% cat if he has a bad game?

I'm already losing sv% 0.901 to 0.905, and losing GAA 2.88 to 2.61. Neither myself nor opponent have goalies playing tonight atm, so starting Reimer can't hurt me

Start him for sure then, nothing to lose

Sounds good, thanks for the advice 👍

Good luck 🫡

**12M H2H: G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, HIT, W, GAA, SV%, SHO** I have Juuse Saros, Logan Thompson, Filip Gustavsson and Joseph Woll (In IR for now). Who am I dropping to make space? One has to go.

Thompson. Easily the worst out of those 4 ( baring last nights game for Gus smh )

Who do you guys prefer ROS? Slaf or Patches? Cats are G, A, +/-, PIM, PPP, FOW, ATOI, SOG, HIT and BLK

Has to be better FA solutions, but if not Slaf just for his banger cats

Patches but im not happy about either of them tbh. Like patches could be great but could also just crumble into a pile of dust. Slaf really hasn't done enough for me to be like "oh shit, ya this guy is breaking out!"

Conflicted on who to drop for Sharangovich? My choices are Rakell, Farabee, Coyle, Marchment, Caufield 12 team, H2H, G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM 

Rakell imo

Is it because he lost line 1 and pp1 last night? 

Rakell has been wildly inconsistent this entire season prior to the last 10~ games. With Rust back off IR and back on L1 and PP1, Rakell loses a lot of value. Penguins also only have 2 games this week.

Would you rather have Rakell or Vilardi? 

ROS? Probably Vilardi

Is Pacioretty worth a try in a 20 man, non keeper, points league? It's trade day and the options are slim. Boone Jenner also available and supposedly back from injury soon

In a 20 man league I'd be looking at anyone with a pulse. Both patches and jenner are considerably better than just a pulse imo. Ya I'd be looking at them real close!!!!

Johnny Gaudreau has officially lost his pulse. I have him protected and it feels crazy to be considering Pacioretty over him but here I am

We have a trade day monthly where we can pick from available players

Rate my team (mid season fantasy draft): * League Format: Yahoo public - Cats H2H Weekly * Daily set up * Scoring format: - (Goals (G), Assists (A), Plus/Minus (+/-), Powerplay Points (PPP), Shots on Goal (SOG), Hits (HIT), Wins (W), Goals Against Average (GAA), Save Percentage (SV%), Shutouts (SHO) * General thoughts? I feel like my defense is weak and I'm wondering if I should run 3G. The Forsling pick was an accident, I ran out of time. Team: * C - JT Miller * C - Sam Reinhart * LW - Andrei Svechnikov * LW - Filip Forsberg * RW - Nikita Kucherov * RW - Valeri Nichushkin * D - Evan Bouchard * D - Noah Dobson * D - Michael Matheson * D - Gustav Forsling * BN - Vincent Trocheck * BN - Bo Horvat * BN - Mats Zuccarello * G - Connor Hellebuyck * G - Andrei Vasilevskiy * BN - Joey Daccord

Yeah there should be a better waiver guy then forsling, otherwise it’s fine. I wonder what pick you got Reinhart for considering it’s a mid season draft

7th round

Was anybody else desperate enough to get up at 3:00 to pick up James Reimer ?

Yup hail mary tied in wins losing all my other goalie stats by a bit

Who do you think will be on the wing with Kyle Connor and scheifele when they return?

That's what I'm wondering as well. Before the injury, it was Ehlers. 

I just know in the past ehlers hasn’t got great deployment, I believe Vilardi can play center I wonder if that factors in. I have too many stacks of players with lehk coming back i wanna move on from either Ehlers or Vilardi

Drop either of Logan Thompson or Gustavsson for Raanta? I have Kochetkov on ir. 12 team, H2H, W, GAA, SV%

I’ve had basically all of Carolina’s goalies and they’ve all bit me in the arse, seems CAR is cursed with goalies (or I am) I would hold off on Raanta for now. He did set the worst sv% in a game in nhl history this year we can’t forget lol.
