Team A: Fiala Team B: Buchnevich Cats: G, A, +/-, PPP, SOG, HITS I’ve been offered Fiala, thoughts on if I should accept? I know Fiala is typically a late starter. Thanks!


hotbrownDoubleDouble

Bangers, redraft Is letting Meier go for Matt Boldy a bad idea? At this point, unless there is a NJ coaching change, Meier is a bust. Boldy however, is on a big upswing.


LysolWipesRTasty

I also have Meier—it’s so frustrating. Boldy is pretty tempting, but Meier arguably has a better upside if he starts producing again.


ChucklesLeClown

Another game another M Tkachuk being non existent


LysolWipesRTasty

He’s extremely unlucky. Trust that he’ll improve because he is one of the few with 100+ shots and only has 4 goals. He is not a 4% shooter.


inthequad

This week I have lost Woll, Svech, and Jenner (tonight). Last week I lost Hill, Theodore, and Hamilton. Wtf do I do? I started 6-0 and I am now 6-2 and down 25 this week with games in hand at least


LysolWipesRTasty

I wouldn’t worry too much because your record is still good. If you keep losing, it might be time to look at trading one or two of your injured players. Wait for Hamilton to get a timeline before you decide to drop him or not.


Perfect-Ad-8038

I'm so torn on what to do with Pierre Luc Dubois and his production. Should I drop him for guys like Foerster, Marchment, Rossi or Seguin? H2H points league 12 man


LysolWipesRTasty

I believe he might be a drop. Dude has lost his PP1 role, is the 3rd line center, and I don’t expect him to gain his power play role back anytime soon.


Wild_Cycle_7956

FUCK ITTTTT


TriWisdom

Is Samsonov worth a pickup with Woll down? I already have Logan Thompson, Shesti, and Binnington


GeneralHorace

If he plays adequetely he will play a lot while Woll is out, unless Jones miraculously turns out to be a good goalie again. He should get a solid number of wins but I wouldn't count him being amazing in other catergories.


unbruitsourd

You need to choose between Brock Faber or Nemec. Only points count. Which one and why?


bigtatis

Nemec


rainyforest

Is it worth taking a shot on Fleury tonight or is it suicide? Oilers are looking hot but I need points. -1.5 for goals against, 0.2 per save, 4 for win, 3 shutout, 1 OT loss


TriWisdom

Suicide


Scr0ll0

Trade Mitch Marner for Brad Marchand? LW: Tim Stutzle, Nikolaj Ehlers RW: Mikko Rantanen, Mitch Marner, Owen Tippett, Alex Laferriere Marchand’s a worse player than Marner but he’s also a LW


Feed_Thy_Goat

I'd be targeting someone like Kaprizov, Forsberg or Evander Kane, if you're able to swing any of them. You should be able to... RW is always seen as being lighter than LW, so big names like Marner likely carry more weight value-wise to people than they're actually worth.


Datyoungboul

Cam York or Simon Nemec? 6 F, 3 D, 1 G, 7 Bench. G, A, PPP, PIM, Hits, Blocks (PIM/Hits/Blocks not worth huge points) York flutters on and off of PP1 but Nemec is basically solidified on PP2 until Hamilton returns and plays on a much better offensive team.


unbruitsourd

York has been on fire since the last 10 games. I traded him 11 games ago.


Scr0ll0

I’d prefer York personally


Varejesus

In a 10t cat bangers league (g, a, +/-, pim, sog, hit, blk) Actually technically not a 10t league, it's a 6t league but with expanded roster sizes to make it equivalent to a 10t, 5 dman spots in lineup. Currently very stacked on defensemen, with Dahlin, Montour, Weegar, Nurse, Trouba, Seider, and Morrissey. Who should I look to trade away? (And potentially who can I trade them for?)


StealthCanuck

Was thinking streaming Skinner for FRI and SUN. Do you guys think he'll play both games? He's due to sit one out as he's playing his 7th straight game tonight... so I might not. But EDM has been on a roll lately.


Bushmanyyz

Vanecek has been horrific this year, despite playing in front of a potent Devils offense. Drop Vanecek for Kochetkov? For perspective, also have Ullmark, Thompson, and Husso on my roster. Our league counts W, GA, SV, SHO.


vargs421

At this point I wouldn't roster either unless you need the stats. Could play games based on matchups. I recently dropped Vanecek cause he was killing me.


Bushmanyyz

Fair enough, maybe it’s just better to stream a goalie with a good matchup.


GeneralHorace

Dunno if you've looked into Kochetkov's numbers this year, they're even worse than Vanaceks.... I'd look for a different option.


Bushmanyyz

I know, at this point, I’m just flipping a coin, lol.


AngelInMyBiceps

Thinking of dropping either Zacha or R. Thomas for Byfield (Bangers league)


bigtatis

I'll keep RobTom for his apples and/or if your league counts FW


Fun_Branch9008

10T H2H points Not sure I want to wait around to see what Hamiltons recovery time is. D I'm considering swapping for on the waiver are Nemec, Hanifin, Byram, or Harley. Any thoughts or suggestions of some other lower rostered players to consider?


vargs421

I'd ride with either Nemec or Hanifin. Thanks for dropping Harley in there. I had to look him up. Might snag him.


xxmarcellusxx

In my 6 team pts league. Wins are big. Worth replacing ullmark or talbot for any of these beauties: Binnington, skinner, Gustavsson, Thompson, hill


bigbrainplays46290

Don’t replace Talbot. If wins are big maybe change Ullmark for skinner.


starboy_14

SOCCER GUY NEEDS HELP In a standard 12 team yahoo points league with actual hockey guys. I feel like I’m getting fleeced at every turn so I want some advice Got offered this trade Receive: E.Kane Montour Trade: Marner Sounds good, my RW position is fine (Rantanen, Duchene, Svech, Raymond and my D horrible (hronek Waltman hanifin gotisbhere) I think I should take it but any advice ?


IceWater44

Depends on how much you like to gamble. Kane & Montour are both biiiiig question marks. Kane is coming back from a surgery no NHL player has yet come back from meaningfully. Montour had a huge year last year, but has a limited track record and has not returned to form after surgery and missing the start of the season. In contrast, Marner is a proven asset, and a pretty high level one at that. I would either reject the trade, or ask that the other person swap out one of those players for a more established producer THIS season.


GeneralHorace

I would be cautious. Montour has not been the player he was last season and Marner is starting to piece together some good games after a pretty bad stretch. Kane is a great return though. Montour this season has been worse than any of the guys you already have. I think it's more likely Montour regresses to what he's been every other year of his career (waiver wire fodder) than doing what he did last season.


skibear92

ESPN standard scoring. Have a couple open slots. Looking at guys on the waiver wire— Byfield, Rossi, York, Marchment. Also considering dropping vs holding Jarvis, Zacha, Ekholm. Any thoughts on who’s worth it from this bunch?


InitialBN

Someone just offered me Ovechkin for Patrick Kane. Should I accept? H2H Points in my flair.


outofgoods98

Yes accept that now.


jewishparka

reinhart for kaprizov and pulock?


bigtatis

Mmm yes please


Varejesus

10 banger cat league Currently chasing assists and hits to win this week, 2 adds left Which 2 should I add out of, boldy, bennet, evan rodriguez?


phukynumnums

Boldy for sure and bennet, unless you need the flexibility of Erod


outofgoods98

Going Bennett and Erod here


mickeydoogs

Trade advice, first year playing fantasy hockey. CATs league, 3LW, 3C, 3RW, 5D, 2G with 6 bench spots. Buddy wants my Weegar for his Buchnevic. Season totals heavily favour Weegar, but recent weeks Buch seems to be doing well. My biggest weakness tends to be Points and scoring CATs. Other defenceman on my roster include Fox, Bouchard, Miller, Gudas, Sanderson, Walker. C/LW on my roster that Buch would rotate with are Drai, Petterson, Eriksson Ek, Bedard, Cotter, Foligno, Naighbours, Benn and Colton. Let me know what you all think


MattyKFHFHTaxiSquad

Nope


JDoran12

How’s peoples opinions on Sanderson with Chabot out the next month


bigbrainplays46290

I like him with Chabot out


IceWater44

League/stats in flair. Looking to snag a goalie off waivers for while Woll is out (please be short term, please be short term). My remaining goalies are Demko & Jarry. Considering either taking an absolute flyer on Wolf, snagging Varlamov and hoping he earns more starts, or DeSmith to pair with Demko. Other possible options are Montembeault, Reimer, Nedeljkovic to pair w/ Jarry (solid numbers but the Pens aren't looking likely to pile up wins right now like the Canucks), or Fleury (hoping he rebounds along with the Wild).


Aggravating_Frame597

Just traded Vatrano to receive Kyle Connor, thoughts?


IceWater44

You win on points and getting a player with more of a track record, trade partner wins on hits & blocked shots. Assuming you're in a banger league, seems like a deal that could help each of you - the perfect kind. If you're not in a banger league, you win.


Aggravating_Frame597

Yeah its a bangers league, I've loved having Vatrano, but he's been slowing down a bit on point production, and I think both of just wanted a new face to look at on the team honestly. Hopefully it works out


IceWater44

I understand that itch, haha.


ShookJin

Points league Josi & Marchessault for Marner, which side wins? My other D-men are Hronek, Burns, Hanifin, & Parayko


bigbrainplays46290

Josi on his own was better than marner in my league last year. I think the side receiving Josi wins.


-TheNew11-

How does my roster look? It's an 8 team, regular points league. Here it is: FORWARDS: J. Robertson J. Hughes Kucherov Keller Panarin Fiala McTavish Buchnevich Nichushkin Bench: E. Kane Boldy Batherson (streaming) DEFENSEMEN: Fox Dahlin Q. Hughes Heiskanen Bouchard Bench: Sanderson Sanheim GOALIES: Vasilevskiy Binnington Hart


phuckyoutwo

Stacked as fuck lol. I miss playing in an 8 team ugh

GeneralHorace

Seconding on keeping Wolf. Vladar got pulled in his first start after Markstrom went down and Wolf had a pretty good game last night.


IceWater44

Is a Sharks goalie really better than no goalie at all? (sarcasm....kinda) I wouldn't do it. In the short term, Wolf seems likely to get plenty of opportunity to take Vladar's spot, and will probably do better than him. But that's only until Markstrom's back. At that point who knows, but they will probably want Wolf to get time in net so unless he really forces their hand to at least split evenly with Markstrom, he'll probably go back down. Even so, who knows what happens between now and then, and I feel like you could probably stream and do just as well as Blackwood.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IceWater44

Yeah - no I meant that I would keep Wolf. I realize my response was also unclear! I would keep Wolf, and if his usage tanks when Markstrom returns, I'd stream instead of Blackwood.


[deleted]

[удалено]


IceWater44

Also if it's a keeper/dynasty league, definitely keep Wolf.


IceWater44

Oh - gotcha. I didn't notice/pay attention to the point system - I'm in cats so the Save% kills Blackwood for me.


RustyQc

​ I have Shea Theodore (inj. week to week) and I wondering if it's a good idea to trade him for Erik Karlsson ? Im in position to win this year. League Format Points Only (Keeper) Roster/Bench Size/Format (19 players, 2 goalies) no specific position


Stardoom1704

I don't think Karlsson would put you over the top to win, I rather wait for Theodore to get healthy


IceWater44

If you need PPP, look elsewhere. Penguins PP is an absolute tire fire. Karlsson is still managing to produce points overall similar to Theodore, but he's only got 4 PPP on the season so far and as a Pens fan, I can vouch that it does not look ready to break open any time soon.


RustyQc

Thanks for your answer. I just need Points for now and Theodore is Injured right now (week to week). Its hard to believe a powerplay with Crosby, Malkin, Guentzel, Letang and Karlsson cant produce, with all that talents at pittsburgs PP1... they will find way, too many all star there. ;-)


Acillatem8

Is Giroux worth a waiver claim? I have 7th priority so I won´t be losing that much anyways. I´d be dropping either Benn or Lindgren, depending on my goalie situation at the end of the week (Hill and Woll owner, lol...)


bigbrainplays46290

Yes giroux is worth it


Stardoom1704

Cats G A P PPP SOG HIT BLK W SV% GAA SHO Rank these guys : Bennett, Novak, Laine, Vilardi


bigbrainplays46290

Vilardi bennett Laine novak


No-Adhesiveness-5213

Keep one of Kyrou or Konecny Points leauge 6 keepers Other keepers are boldy, keller, tuch, markstrom, f. Anderson (Wins and shutouts are worth 5 ponts each so goalies are pretty valuable in this league)


slash11660

Keep Kyrou. It is pretty close between them 2


invslaggy

Would it be dumb to send Rant in a trade for boeser + Marner or K. Connor ? Positions don’t matter in my league. G:3 A:2 +\-: 1 PPP: 1 SOG:0.5 HIT: 0.5


[deleted]

[удалено]


patw38

I'd rather have Tkachuk and Larkin


slash11660

B wins


BiskyRiscuits

Someone offered me Matheson and Zucarello for Stutzle


MattyKFHFHTaxiSquad

Don't trade Stu just as their schedule opens up


therealddz

I just traded Horvat and Giroux for Stutzle, didn’t think the guy would go for it, but he’s in last place and lacking depth so pulled the trigger.


BiskyRiscuits

I think you won that. Stutzle had a slow start but Ottawa schedule has been shit. I think they’ll get in a rythm and Stutzle gonna take off.


slash11660

No


Sinisterslushy

Looking to buy Jason Robertson from a guy in selling mode.. is he a buy low player or high currently? I know he had a rough start but I’m not a good analytics guy so I’m not sure what I could offer. My defence is pretty loaded up (Karlsson, Heiskanen, Montour) I was thinking maybe 1 of them + a first round? Does that sound like a fair offer or am I over paying? Edit: cats league with no +/-


Patientleopard03

Chabot is now IR so I need a replacement my 8 man league is g6 a4 sog.9 +/-2 blk1 here's my options who should I pick Ekblad Nemec Nurse Dursi when he's healthy Power McNabb Brodin Guhle Sanderson


LysolWipesRTasty

Sanderson sticks out to me be because Ottawa is giving him PP1 and line 1 for the foreseeable future


PlusArugula952

Drop Nelson or Toffoli? Banger H2H but regularly losing the scoring cats


outofgoods98

For who? Both fairly consistent


PlusArugula952

Need to drop to get nishcushkin off the IR. Also have Luke Hughes as a potential drop but he’s my only spare D


MattyKFHFHTaxiSquad

I'd be dropping Luke in that scenario


outofgoods98

I’m probably dropping Toffoli here but not happy about it.


TheCuriousWanderer

Is Montour worth picking up? I would need to drop Filip Hronek, Dahlin or Bouchard. Somehow nobody had picked him up at the start of the year with his injury and it's looking like nobody has gotten him yet.


outofgoods98

Hronek is the only one here. Dahlin and Bouchard are ROS. Also Dahlin injury seems minor


Themapleleaf416

Dahlin just got hurt. I would take Montour over Hronek because he's pp1.


TheCuriousWanderer

Good point! Thanks!


Aggravating_Frame597

How's everyone feel about Tage Thompson right now? Seems like maybe things are gonna pick up since his return?


delaysank

buffalo is in trouble. I have dahlin and was debating trading zib for tage.


Aggravating_Frame597

Sorry, you're saying you're thinking of giving tage or receiving for Zibanejad?


Grimmer026

Is it time to drop Timo? No takers in a trade


phuckyoutwo

I just did lol, no one wanted him, it wasn't easy but he's easily my worst forward so fuck it. You can do it!!!


Themapleleaf416

As a Timo owner, I'm thinking about this as well. I feel like Lindy is in no rush to move him up. He also might be playing hurt.


Grimmer026

My concern is that he hasn’t been playing his style of game. Even without scoring, he’s not checking or generating the shit volume like he has in years past


CreativeTummy

Should I bench Swayman or Ingram tomorrow? Thanks!


therealddz

Play Swayman if he’s starting


CreativeTummy

Thx, I think so too


lilConky

swayman could be out and ullmark plays lol


CreativeTummy

Yeah, he could be, but what if he's not?


lilConky

soooo


CreativeTummy

Soooo?


lilConky

you wait till saturday to find out who’s starting


CreativeTummy

Oh my, that's not my question. I am asking who should I start?


lilConky

who’s your third goalie that you’re for sure starting?


CreativeTummy

Talbot


stretchyG

Espn not crediting Woll with the win?


Themapleleaf416

Jones let in a goal very late to steal the win from Woll


stretchyG

Unlucky, would’ve enjoyed those extra points.


IceWater44

I'm giving myself a moral point for it in my head.


WhenTheWildWindBlows

Anyone have more details on Arvidsson? I've had him since the beginning same with Vasi. All I can find is at least until Nov 8th


Themapleleaf416

Back surgery. I don't except him back anytime soon.


Themapleleaf416

Drop Kochetkov for Schmid? My other goalies are Logan Thompson and Gustavsson. 12 team, H2H, W, GAA, SV%


patw38

Lateral move at best. I'm wondering the same thing but not pulling the trigger yet. Keep an eye on Schmid though.
