[johnnyredstorm]

I offered Domi.
Along with Artem, who plays with Patty Kane. Is it FAIR for Sid. No of course not. Sidney Crosby right NOW though,... Short term, it is IMO. Its buy low season on Sid. You're not gonna get what you want to get for him like you usually would. My is on the low end of buy low cause I don't want SID THAT BAD.

Regardless, EVERY PROPOSAL sent to you or trades that happen are people "fleecing"... If your definition of a fair deal is what your proposing to me with that trade I said you sent me above... then no1 is gonna want to deal with you.

And yes, you're up there. The fact that questionable roster is at the top gives me hope that my team will turn it around at some point

idc haha

the fact that you dont understand why im in 2nd is why you have 0 shot 

take notes

here some free advice...

in deep leagues nothing is as important as goalie play

play the cats... all of them

humble yourself

flourish

 

[theenorthstar]

I have 3 goalies now and do play all of them...?

And all are #1s or rotating #1s...?

 

[johnnyredstorm]

I have four goalies




Only 1.5 are good

 

[rolaholic]

Got 2 and they're all hurt

 

[jewseejay]

niemi is a timeshare and has been average

Varly has been bad

Allen is a stud

so you have 1 goalie thats playing well, one thats been acceptible and one bad....

not gunna cut it, youve had some bad luck but with average goaltending your team will only ever be average, less so when you toss that landmine shp in there but there still a hefty percentage of the overall score

notice i said goalie play and not goalies. you can have good goalies lay eggs and get yanked 5 min in when you have Lundquist in the championship... not that thats what happened to me 2 years ago. and you can have waiver wire goalies get hot which has carried me to MANY playoffs 

so yea, if you want an overall philosphy or recipe for sucess... have good goalies and play all the cats, scoring pts is the least reliable stat to track if you chase pts generally you will lose. play the cats individually

if i didnt draft first my team woulda been way better looking at our league now, but its all gucci just gotta make the playoffs and pray.

Spezza is washed up? Admittedly, I have no clue how fantasy hockey goes, but he's been anything but washed up this year on the ice.

it's just like football...people confuse fantasy with reality


and that's not a shot...it happens. easy to get caught up in fantasy stats

 

[jewseejay]

Also it helps/borderline critcal to use multi poistional players as much as possible down the stretch and use the scheduling tools to maximize games played

hes far from washed, dont let em fool ya

 

[sosly]

Yeah, damn impossible to survive in this league without any goalies. I'm glad Anderson is playing well, Smith is so-so, and Condon is good enough to win/steal games.
My defense sucks a lot. lol so my forwards do all the scoring

This is what I'm sayin... I think highly of Spez. But cats telling me my players are washed..? And i asked who exactly they were... i know speez is 32 and not exactly a 70-80 pt guy anymore but ... is he "washed?" .. i don't get it

i agree w/ u

 

[jewseejay]

i think what your confusing is real life relevance with fantasy...

a 50-60 point 2nd line center is GREAT for any team

for fantasy purposes.. hes a C only (least valuable) and he doesnt bring peripherals... so really not valuable at all. I just picked up Komarov off waivers, i saw Hanzal and Kadri in the scrap pile...

id rather any of the 3 to Spezza in the NT league.

 

[proshares]

There's not that much of a difference fantasy wise between the 4 of them where you can really go back and forth about it. They're all first or second line with a ton of top line PP mins.

 

[jewseejay]

thats my point...

Spezza is not a desirable asset. despite being a great hockey player

 

[DeadsetAce]

Price is out six weeks?!? damn...same injury or a new one?

he's going to miss the WC i assume? that sucks...i'd assume the outdoor game is something he'd look forward to

 

[sosly]

Also Stepan out 4-6 weeks as well

Damn,i thought no one else would pick up Leo. Boo

 

[DeadsetAce]

Ryan Suter being a huge ***** about things it looks like. taking a lot of heat for demanding he play with a right shot

 

[theenorthstar]

Nobody saw those comments coming from him.. Left field especially how well those 2 play together but its understandable cause he and Spurg are doing great. Maybe not a defensively sound as a Suter-Brodin but they are producing more

damn...

 

[DeadsetAce]

^ word. yeah i mean i didn't hear how they were said and i don't have much background...so sorta outta context. but sounds pretty bad
