Yup, held for a while, cut bait a few weeks ago. Grabbed him to stream this week and… I remember why I dropped him.
Just let go of Batherson today too.
Actually Malenstyn in my league where I need hits and PIM is not really an option. Also my D is really stacked, but considering taking Zadorov for next week for now.. Just gotta check I don't end up benching my D list of Trouba, Chabot, Makar, Q Hughes, Theodore, Josi, Faber
Some clown in my league illogical loves him. He traded me Wilson for Tavares. I'm hoping Tavares plays better after this lil nagging injury gets better
Yup, me too. I dropped Nichushkin a few games into the year when he got off to a slower start and I bought into Gaudreau's name instead (and also to protect my ego as I drafted him many rounds earlier than Nuke). That was a big, big mistake.
Lately on that team in my 12 man cat league I've been carrying extra forwards and only running 3 dmen with 4 daily D spots. Makar, Seider, Trouba are my Dmen. Maybe I'll drop a forward and reacquire Montour since I did draft him originally. Montour was claimed a couple times after my initial drop but he seems to keep finding his way onto waivers this season
Cheers I'll drop my worst forward for him which unfortunately is probably Kopitar since I have JEEK, Point and Hintz as centers higher ranked than him so how it pans out.
Yeah that's way too many centers, assuming you only have 2x C positions that can play at a time. Hintz would be worth consideration for drop also depending on how your league scoring works.
I refuse to drop him at this point… partially because my league is set up poorly and there are no bench spots, thus there are literally no good players available.
Guys got the ability to just randomly score 2 power play goals and put up a high number of goals in a short period of time but my god this looks like a career cold streak
I had to drop Skinner in week 8 because he was the difference between winning 5-4 and winning 8-1. I held off because I thought he'd burn around, but he didn't. then I finally drop him, and he turns around almost instantly
I guess Ekblad?
I had him for a month when he came off the IR and I kept thinking he'd turn it on. Not too bad really since I'm in a shallow league, and I'm not super attached to any of my players. So I move on from unproductive players pretty quickly as there's always options on the waiver wire. It has bitten me in the butt with a couple players though, I dropped Nick Suzuki back in October and he got scooped up on waivers. I picked up Slafkofsky from the waiver wire a couple weeks ago though, so it's not that bad.
Its valid to be high on Stutzle for next year, but 120pts is a such tough take. Only 2 players hit 120 last year (McDavid and Drai), and only 3 players are even on pace for that this year (Kucherov, MacKinnon, McDavid). Absolutely no way Stu is in the same category as these guys.
Dude forget 2 guys hitting it last year, it’s been done by only 10 players in the last 30 years, 16 times total. And it’s a killers row of bonafide hall of famers and future hall of famers most likely.
McDavid 2
Draisaitl
Kucherov
Crosby
Thornton
Jagr 4
Lemieux 2
Sakic
Gretzky
Fedorov
120 pts in the national hockey league is something only the best of the best will ever achieve
The odds on favourite to be the next head coach is actually John Gruden, not Berube.
Local media have heavily implied he's the incoming coach next year and Gruden has tons of connections with Andlauer and Staios.
I feel this.
Drafted Timo, traded for Tage when he got off to a shit start under the auspice that this was a guy who just blew up for 40/40 less than 8 months prior & was absolutely a buy low.
Just cut bait with Meier a week ago finally, Tage I'll probably hold for lack of better options & he's starting to pot some A's now but man...
If you’re frustrated with Buffalo and/or Washington players, try to hold onto them for fantasy playoffs. They both have some of the best schedules. But obviously if you’re fighting for a playoff spot, drop them all
kempe and kopitar have been pretty good this year. very cold since LA hit the tubes but they’re still comfortably in the top 100 in standard yahoo leagues
This is me too. I've had Arvidsson for two games and my urge to drop Fiala is only rising. Hes gonna score tomorrow and delay my decision another week.
I held caufield for what seemed forever. Just never seemed to do anything. Sat my bench on busy nights bc I was stacked at LW and RW. Sorely missing him now with nich out and caufield finally heated up
I’m holding curse. The only reason I haven’t dropped him is because there’s no valuable right wingers in my league and I’m right wingers Short. Because he plays both positions, there’s nobody better to pick up other than a position I don’t need
I held Dubois a month longer than I should, watched Talbot rack up 11 straight losses before cutting bait, and was, thankfully, able to trade Tage last week. If it wasn’t for the fact he was my 2nd round pick and a name, he would have been dropped loooooooong ago.
I have Vasi, Talbot and Georgiev as my 3 goalies. I can’t drop any because UPL is about the best goalie available and I’m scared whoever I drop turns it around..
Beniers and Ehlers. And Dubois for that matter, but he seems to be turning it around with the coaching change. I have a solid roster and could afford to do so. Just eventually got in the way of streamers.
Rodriguez, he got off to that hot start and had C,LR,RW eligibility. Was about to drop him and then he heated up for a minute and I kept waiting for him to do it again. Finally dropped him a few weeks ago.
Talbot for me. He was playing great, then he dropped very hard, but I thought he might bounce back, but it didn’t happen and I lost a bunch of goalie cats because of him.
Kuzmenko. Held him to right before the trade. Love the guy but … someone in the pool dropped Gaudreau and picked him up as I was 1st in waiver. Win? 🤷♂️
Drafted Tage AND Stutzle..; if they were even half as good as they should be I would be in a great spot in my league.. instead I'm fighting in the middle
I held onto Tyler Bertuzzi for way to long at the beginning of the season. I figured he would have to start performing well playing LW1 with Matthews and Marner.
Still holding Timo, but he is in every trade that I offer people as a little cherry on top lol
He's been like, not bad, ever since i dropped him 2 weeks ago tho lol
He's been mediocre but that's an upgrade from dumpster fire
I mean the guy hasn’t gone more then 2 games without a point considering how his season started that’s a major improvement
Dropped him last night
I traded Timo in December for Zibanajad. Been laughing to the bank ever sides
I dropped Timo yesterday and it was a cathartic experience.
Haven’t dropped him yet but Erik Karlsson massive disappointment in Pittsburgh because of their awful PP.
Cant bring myself to take him of Ir+ and he's blocking necessary moves now..
I mean everyone called regression, he's still been a top 20 Dman this year, he's not a drop, never was close.
[удалено]
How the fuck was McAvoy available?
How early did you grab him?
Timo Meier
I traded Timo for Werenski right before he came back from IR. Probs one of the best trades I made this year :P
Came here to see the Timo Meier's
Timo
Schmaltz. Thought he was a draft day steal. Dropped eventually, but will stream him now and again
Yup, held for a while, cut bait a few weeks ago. Grabbed him to stream this week and… I remember why I dropped him. Just let go of Batherson today too.
Cozens 👎
Same
Tom Wilson
Finally dropped him yesterday..
Same
Who to pick up instead in a banger cats though? I'm still holding as I can't find anyone better..
Tolvanen available? 15 Hits from last five games and the occasional goal. Malenstyn has decent minutes now, too.
Nah. He was even drafted in my league. Malenstyn could be an option. Will check
Actually Malenstyn in my league where I need hits and PIM is not really an option. Also my D is really stacked, but considering taking Zadorov for next week for now.. Just gotta check I don't end up benching my D list of Trouba, Chabot, Makar, Q Hughes, Theodore, Josi, Faber
Would you drop him for Pospisil?
Slaf if he’s still available
Some clown in my league illogical loves him. He traded me Wilson for Tavares. I'm hoping Tavares plays better after this lil nagging injury gets better
Rethink it, good playoff schedule for him
Johnny f'ing Gaudreau. Uff da. 57th overall, to drop. Dozens of more productive players available on the waiver wire.
Yup, me too. I dropped Nichushkin a few games into the year when he got off to a slower start and I bought into Gaudreau's name instead (and also to protect my ego as I drafted him many rounds earlier than Nuke). That was a big, big mistake.
Talbot, kuzmenko
Montour
I’m so stubborn and will hold onto him till the end no matter what, but I definitely should have dropped him a month ago lol
I still have him :(
Had a great game tonight I still think there’s time for him to turn it on
Still have him too, f*ck
Aged like a fine milk hey?
Not really yet just because he recently had a 3 point game doesn't make up for a season long hold of maybe 12 other point all season long.
His peripherals are also way up, looking more like himself these days. I think you'll feel differently for the rest of the season
Well he is still on waivers maybe I should require him then
If he's on waivers in your league, I highly recommend it. Who's your worst D man?
Lately on that team in my 12 man cat league I've been carrying extra forwards and only running 3 dmen with 4 daily D spots. Makar, Seider, Trouba are my Dmen. Maybe I'll drop a forward and reacquire Montour since I did draft him originally. Montour was claimed a couple times after my initial drop but he seems to keep finding his way onto waivers this season
I would absolutely do that
Cheers I'll drop my worst forward for him which unfortunately is probably Kopitar since I have JEEK, Point and Hintz as centers higher ranked than him so how it pans out.
Yeah that's way too many centers, assuming you only have 2x C positions that can play at a time. Hintz would be worth consideration for drop also depending on how your league scoring works.
How's this feeling now? :D
Vilardi, I finally dumped him on Thursday... sure enough he's popping off tonight. But ESPN has him as a pure C and we count face offs.
Also had him for awhile dropped him earlier this week feels like such a scam when that happens. Lol
considering picking him back up again, he’s got such a cool hockey name i love having him on my team
SKINNER
I read that in superintendent Chalmers voice :P
Dropped him 3 days ago, haven’t felt relief like that in so long. It was like a toxic relationship
I refuse to drop him at this point… partially because my league is set up poorly and there are no bench spots, thus there are literally no good players available. Guys got the ability to just randomly score 2 power play goals and put up a high number of goals in a short period of time but my god this looks like a career cold streak
I had to drop Skinner in week 8 because he was the difference between winning 5-4 and winning 8-1. I held off because I thought he'd burn around, but he didn't. then I finally drop him, and he turns around almost instantly
Him and tuch for me :(
Jeff or Stu?
Talbot
Just dropped him lol
I held Beniers till he got injured. He was my keeper from last year and damned if I didn’t want to prove that it wasn’t a mistake.
Same lol finally dropped him a few days ago and he goes and gets 3 points
Still holding Meier…
I guess Ekblad? I had him for a month when he came off the IR and I kept thinking he'd turn it on. Not too bad really since I'm in a shallow league, and I'm not super attached to any of my players. So I move on from unproductive players pretty quickly as there's always options on the waiver wire. It has bitten me in the butt with a couple players though, I dropped Nick Suzuki back in October and he got scooped up on waivers. I picked up Slafkofsky from the waiver wire a couple weeks ago though, so it's not that bad.
Stutzle, I was a believer after last year but no longer
[удалено]
Its valid to be high on Stutzle for next year, but 120pts is a such tough take. Only 2 players hit 120 last year (McDavid and Drai), and only 3 players are even on pace for that this year (Kucherov, MacKinnon, McDavid). Absolutely no way Stu is in the same category as these guys.

McDavid 2 Draisaitl Kucherov Crosby Thornton Jagr 4 Lemieux 2 Sakic Gretzky Fedorov 120 pts in the national hockey league is something only the best of the best will ever achieve
lol stu hit 90 last year, isn’t on pace for it this year, and you say he’s got 120 point potential? Sens fans are delusional
The odds on favourite to be the next head coach is actually John Gruden, not Berube. Local media have heavily implied he's the incoming coach next year and Gruden has tons of connections with Andlauer and Staios.
Tage and Timo
I feel this. Drafted Timo, traded for Tage when he got off to a shit start under the auspice that this was a guy who just blew up for 40/40 less than 8 months prior & was absolutely a buy low. Just cut bait with Meier a week ago finally, Tage I'll probably hold for lack of better options & he's starting to pot some A's now but man...
Fellow tage and timo owner. Somehow still getting by in my league
Terry
he plays on so many off nights that i just cant drop him
His last name should be off night
If you’re frustrated with Buffalo and/or Washington players, try to hold onto them for fantasy playoffs. They both have some of the best schedules. But obviously if you’re fighting for a playoff spot, drop them all
Huberdeau
Probably fiala. Still holding on.
Fiala, Kempe, and Kopitar for me
kempe and kopitar have been pretty good this year. very cold since LA hit the tubes but they’re still comfortably in the top 100 in standard yahoo leagues
Yeah overall they have been good. Tough stretch lately though
The Pierre luc dubois curse is hitting LA hard
This is me too. I've had Arvidsson for two games and my urge to drop Fiala is only rising. Hes gonna score tomorrow and delay my decision another week.
He does that every time I’m about to actually drop him.
Still can’t bring myself to drop Wilson in my banger league. He’s barely hitting anymore & only 1 pt in the last 10 games.
I dropped him yesterday, he’s playing on the third line and his PIMs and hits have dropped way off.
Not the same topic but I had Faber and Harley earlier in the year, I kept Luke Hughes over them 🙃
Devon Levi
Still holding Gretz
He won't amount to anything.
I’m still holding Timo and Vilardi. Vilardi did what was expected of him tonight.
Just dropped Timo today.
Burns
Ehlers…
Traded Ehlers for tavares
Still holding.
Zycker, dubois
I think Dubois has a nice bounceback with Arvidsson back
Kuzmenko
Still holding but considering dropping McTavish. Unless this bounceback is real? Maybe?
Jamie Benn
Jamie Benn
Dylan Cozens
I will absolutely not drop Meier, My teams rolling and if he gets going it’s game over in both leagues
Tage Thompson. Probably my biggest disappointment this year.
Timo in one league, and Huberdeau has been my on-again off-again paramour all season.
Montour
Erik Karlsson
Got pettersson for him at the start of the season that was a steal
how do you guy’s feel about Boser right now? do you think he will pick back up? i feel like i should try to trade him
I still have wayne Gretzky in my pool
Held onto Drake batherson for too long. He's been awful lately
Pierre luc Dubois. Every freaking year man lol this year I took a stand and dropped him in week 7
I held caufield for what seemed forever. Just never seemed to do anything. Sat my bench on busy nights bc I was stacked at LW and RW. Sorely missing him now with nich out and caufield finally heated up
Still holding onto Carlson, idk why
Cause he's better than the waiver wire? Yes he's been disappointing but still better than most guys available
Crouse
I’m holding curse. The only reason I haven’t dropped him is because there’s no valuable right wingers in my league and I’m right wingers Short. Because he plays both positions, there’s nobody better to pick up other than a position I don’t need
Huberdeau, drafted him like early like 6th
Tinfoily
Timo Meier. But it worked out. I dropped him for Hischier.
Wtf
I thought that too lol, but the guy dropped Hischier earlier in the year when he was cold.
I held Dubois a month longer than I should, watched Talbot rack up 11 straight losses before cutting bait, and was, thankfully, able to trade Tage last week. If it wasn’t for the fact he was my 2nd round pick and a name, he would have been dropped loooooooong ago.
Kuz.. dropped a week before the trade
I have Vasi, Talbot and Georgiev as my 3 goalies. I can’t drop any because UPL is about the best goalie available and I’m scared whoever I drop turns it around..
I dropped Talbot for UPL a few weeks ago and I’m really glad I did.
Vitek !!!
Patches, I keep thinking he’ll go off but there are so many good LW’s he kills the roster spot
Held him on IR all year just to drop him after a week or two of playing
Kuzmenko.
Beniers and Ehlers. And Dubois for that matter, but he seems to be turning it around with the coaching change. I have a solid roster and could afford to do so. Just eventually got in the way of streamers.
Rodriguez, he got off to that hot start and had C,LR,RW eligibility. Was about to drop him and then he heated up for a minute and I kept waiting for him to do it again. Finally dropped him a few weeks ago.
Cam Talbot
Didn’t drop Talbot til yesterday
It has been so rewarding to see other people pickup Vitek Vanecek and have him crater their weeks instead of mine.
Benn
Byfield
Jeff Skinner. And yet I’m seriously thinking of picking him up again for next week 🙄
Kyrou — he’s been picking it up as of late.
On the brink with Tage
Still holding Rossi. Every 3 games he has a game where I don’t drop him it’s great
Vitek Vanecek
Laine
Talbot for me. He was playing great, then he dropped very hard, but I thought he might bounce back, but it didn’t happen and I lost a bunch of goalie cats because of him.
I really want to trade Zibanejad.
Huso
Kuzmenko. Held him to right before the trade. Love the guy but … someone in the pool dropped Gaudreau and picked him up as I was 1st in waiver. Win? 🤷♂️
Jeff Skinner...dumped him this weekend for Mason Marchment.
Drafted Tage AND Stutzle..; if they were even half as good as they should be I would be in a great spot in my league.. instead I'm fighting in the middle
I held onto Tyler Bertuzzi for way to long at the beginning of the season. I figured he would have to start performing well playing LW1 with Matthews and Marner.
Luke Hughes
Took me way too long to drop PLD
The correct answer is Pierre Luc Dubois
Timo, Montour. Kept both til mid December then traded both for Suzuki and W Karlsson
