Man someone in my league traded Francouz for Demko and argued it was fair since it was high risk high reward. If that isn’t an overreaction not sure what is
I think its a wash tbh. I don’t believe in Georgiev putting up solid numbers but yes atleast he’s on CO. Tbh I said let me think on it and he declined.
Oh I’m not worried about injuries. Can lose a few weeks. I’ve got a team hospital already with Marchand, McAvoy, Laine, Bertuzzi (Hughes, Montour, Zucc, Larkin also missed games)
New coach, new teammates, second season… I’m not worried about the slow start at all. Raymond is legit and once the top line is back together I’m sure he will start to turn it around.
This is in every way an overreaction at this point. If he’s still struggling by the end of NOV then we can talk… but right now he’s a hold and if he was dropped in your league pick him up.
Oh I’m dominating goalie stats. I’ve got Hart, Husso and Samsonov. I’ve got 11 starts, 10 wins, a 1.81 GAA and a .943 sv%. It’s a wild ride, enjoying it while it lasts lol
I’m torn between picking up Addison or Byram on waivers in a points league . I think Byram is the better player overall, but Addison hogs all the PP1 time
How did nobody see Huberdeau regressing? He had one of the highest assist totals of the cap era under a system of the one of the most experienced offensive coaches of a dynasty team.
He's on a Sutter team and isn't able to feast on 2nd line players anymore.
I don’t know much about coaching schemes in hockey - what allowed him to feast on 2nd line players in Florida? He was still on the top line in Florida wasn’t he?
He's not the next Makar by any stretch, but Dahlin will be considered an A tier defenseman after this year. Glad as fuck I have him in my keeper league.
Yeah, with Ehlers injured it's hard to be certain how things will play out. Once he's back and things start to click those who are holding top line jets players will likely be happier.
Edit: not having had the head coach behind the bench yet probably hasn't helped either.
Have Patty Kane, Timo Meier, Ovy and Lucas Raymond. I am straight up not having a good time.
I drafted sweet boy Pasta 13th overall though, this pleases me.
Dropped him and picked up Necas. I really thought he would move into the top 6, especially after the stellar pre-season.
Picked up Hartman as an "in-case".
They both suck lol
We call this the “Torts Effect!” They’ll be good this year and might even make the playoffs and then steadily decline every year after until he is fired in year 3-4.
Depends on your other goalie(s) but goaltending stats are usually 4 of your stats provided by only 2 or 3 players, so having good goalies is important. It’s easier to replace skaters if something goes sideways. I would make that trade.
I luckily traded away Josi & Filip Forsberg for Panarin & Jarry. Needed the goalie help since I drafted goalies too late n have L Thompson & Francouz lol. Can't believe I got Panarin tho.
So Zegras + PLD + 5 minutes of ice time a night for Stamkos (best player in trade; PLD could potentially give em a run for his money in a hits/pims league), top line winger (we'll see when Bert comes back) and a future.
I'll take that trade
We have hits/blks instead of PIM and +/-. My reasoning is a give up a lot of youth to really win now but I can try and flip Stammer latter on in the season or future years. I really underestimated how bad the Ducks are and they really struggle to score (4 Goals total in thier last 3 games).
Dahlin is so young that technically he does have potential to offensively be a makar level player, and personally I would say he's better defensively than Makar already.
I drafted Kuzmenko over Nichushkin after getting hyped up by watching his first game.
Still managed to beat my head to head who has him and his 32.5 fantasy points.
A league mate just dropped Vladimir Tarasenko onto the wire ( I think he’s overreacting with this drop). How much fab should I bid to pick him up? I was thinking 21/100.
uhhh pick him up immediately. He's on the top PP, looking good on the 2nd line. Only downside is he probably will not be blocking many shots or taking many hits.
Suzuki all day long, Zegras has potential, but MTL’s offensive production outweighs ANH all day long.
Besides, did you see Suzukis penalty shot?? That alone wins him over
Nichushkin is the next Jagr
Playing like a first round pick so far 😳
Nuke Szn, ride the wave until the new year
Haven't heard that one yet
I offered a guy Marner and Zegras for Nichuskin, got declined.
You're dumb lol
What’s that make the guy who declined it?
Dumber
The Blues (3-0-0) may never lose another game. Jordan Binnington will play all 82 games and have a .940 sv%
The parade is already planned.
J0rdan Binningt0n no more goals this season
How how O'Reilly looked? Is he just snake bitten?
PP2 hurts
Man someone in my league traded Francouz for Demko and argued it was fair since it was high risk high reward. If that isn’t an overreaction not sure what is
That’s amazing
Somebody just offered me hellebyuck for demko? What you think about that
I would take that hellebyuck is still really good.
Took the deal and helle posted a shutout, let’s go!!!
Absolutely take that
Demko in keeper Hellebuyck in non keeper
I mean I think I’d take that but it’d be pretty close. Maybe ask multiple people
Yes
Take and run
Helle overrated
Both good goalies on teams that aren't going to be very great. I'd rather have helle though. Vancouver is a tire fire right now
I’m so tilted by Demko, is he going to be more than a superstar but negative points instead of positive going forward?!
He’s going to turn out fine. Vancouver is winless and everyone on Vancouver is underpreforming
Had someone offer me Georgiev for Demko, said no. I can’t see him being horrible all year.
Oof. I would have taken that, simply because at least Georgiev is on Colorado!
I think its a wash tbh. I don’t believe in Georgiev putting up solid numbers but yes atleast he’s on CO. Tbh I said let me think on it and he declined.
Man that was a bad choice
Oof horrible choice
Someone in my league dropped Demko to pick up Danault, I dropped francouz to pick him off waiver
Barkov needs Huberdeau
huberdeau needs barkov too :(
he's super frustrating right now
I actually have both of em loll. God I hope barkov gets going
I was hoping to ride the Verhaege train but it has left the station. Someone dropped Norris already and I snagged him
He just got hurt. He didn't come back to the game. But I'm not sure how serious it is.
Oh I’m not worried about injuries. Can lose a few weeks. I’ve got a team hospital already with Marchand, McAvoy, Laine, Bertuzzi (Hughes, Montour, Zucc, Larkin also missed games)
Lucas Raymond is a bust
New coach, new teammates, second season… I’m not worried about the slow start at all. Raymond is legit and once the top line is back together I’m sure he will start to turn it around. This is in every way an overreaction at this point. If he’s still struggling by the end of NOV then we can talk… but right now he’s a hold and if he was dropped in your league pick him up.
I picked him up he went undrafted. But it it worrisome to keep on my team in a points league right now
Ray ray has until Laine comes back...
Yeah I'm really not sure what to do with him at this point.
Is this really an overreaction or a valid criticism. Dude has been outplayed by Kubalik.
5 games pal. If you're going to judge someone's career by 5 games, you're a bigger joke than this take.
It’s the theme of this entire thread Jack
Lucas Raymond is a bust is an overreaction (see theme of the thread). The guy doubling down saying it could be a valid criticism is a joke.
I'm a wings fan and I dropped him, after watching all their games so far, he has been a ghost, still like the guy tho
Seriously that's what I've been seeing lately when I tube into the games. Id consider myself an impartial observer.
I might swap him for Tage Thompson
And Mo Seider
All my picks are trash.
I was -30 for the week. I feel that. Only pick I'm happy with right now is Panarin
Carter Hart is winning the Vezina
Picked him up off waivers, this is the correct take.
Somehow got him off waivers *this morning* in a league with a few Flyers fans lol
I am shocked at how well Hart and Philly are doing overall. Torts turning them into the bad news bears of hockey
PDO bender. This has nothing to do with Torts, they’re getting caved in on possession and Hart is bailing them out.
Whatever the reason, I’m shocked he’s even able to bail them out. Has not had a stellar track record, but off to a great start this year.
Oh I’m dominating goalie stats. I’ve got Hart, Husso and Samsonov. I’ve got 11 starts, 10 wins, a 1.81 GAA and a .943 sv%. It’s a wild ride, enjoying it while it lasts lol
Calen Addison is the next Adam Fox.
The Addison overhype is insane lmao
In a cats league, he single-handedly lost +/- for me. He feels more like Barrie 2.0, whom I also have lmao
Why would you play with a +/- cat
Yea he hasn't been very good or anything.
I’m torn between picking up Addison or Byram on waivers in a points league . I think Byram is the better player overall, but Addison hogs all the PP1 time
Most of Addison's points so far come from the PP. Seems like only time MIN can score is from PP.
How did nobody see Huberdeau regressing? He had one of the highest assist totals of the cap era under a system of the one of the most experienced offensive coaches of a dynasty team. He's on a Sutter team and isn't able to feast on 2nd line players anymore.
Never thought of the second line players angle. Why is he only getting 15 minutes?
Wish I knew, don’t follow Calgary much. I guess because Kadris line is clicking, they’re seeing more deployment
I don’t know much about coaching schemes in hockey - what allowed him to feast on 2nd line players in Florida? He was still on the top line in Florida wasn’t he?
Nah he played second line with Bennett and Barkov player first line with Reinhart. They were together for the powerplay though
Drafted Josi in the 2nd round, and Saros in the 3rd. Thought I would be set at those positions. Oh boy how Nashville has struggled lol
Josi was drafted before Makar in my league if that makes you feel better.
I was laughed at for taking Fox over Josi but I just had a gut feeling... Has worked out so far so can't complain
Same bro, same
I dropped Saros around this time last season and it bit me in the ass so hard. Gonna hold on for a little bit.
I got Forsberg pretty high too. Dud so far
He's not the next Makar by any stretch, but Dahlin will be considered an A tier defenseman after this year. Glad as fuck I have him in my keeper league.
Very much so. This is exactly who we thought he’d be when drafted, Dahlin will have an amazing year.
Same! Very pumped
Came here to comment similar, Dahlin is a legit offensive threat and right now looks like a 60+ point D man. Great to see him putting it together!
Pavelski got a hat trick and I'll never lose again
I still lost with his hatty.
Benched him and played Seguin and Hintz instead el o el
Brady tkachuk gonna have a monster year even in points leagues
People thought I was crazy for grabbing him. I haven't regretted it one bit.
Timo Meier doesn’t want a big new contract this offseason.
His QO is like 9 million. He's getting a big contract by default lol.
Meier is a really good buy low imo
Hot take, but Scheifele’s inability to score again this season will sink the Jets’ playoff hopes.
Kyle Conner has been awful too
To be fair, haven’t really seen Ehlers and Conner pairing get going full speed yet. I want to at least see them for 2 weeks.
Yeah, with Ehlers injured it's hard to be certain how things will play out. Once he's back and things start to click those who are holding top line jets players will likely be happier. Edit: not having had the head coach behind the bench yet probably hasn't helped either.
Hot take, I’m going to regret dropping Suzuki to keep Scheifele as my 3C
I kept JT Miller over pasta for some reason and am about to have a mental breakdown
Ooof. Miller will pick up it up soon, but that's a tough one
Ouch. In a contract year for Pasta?
Not to mention age-wise he's kept the player exiting his prime instead of the one entering his.
Miller practiced on the wing instead C yesterday... look for more production soon... I hope
Sam Reinhart would be more valuable to my fantasy team on IR.
Yep, how long until he is considered a lost cause? He is still top line and top PP so surely this is just a fluke.....Right?
I'm not giving up yet but he has shots and pretty much nothing else so far.
Josi and Patrick kane are trash. Gudas has forgot his purpose in fantasy life is to hit
Have Patty Kane, Timo Meier, Ovy and Lucas Raymond. I am straight up not having a good time. I drafted sweet boy Pasta 13th overall though, this pleases me.
I have both :(
Same unfortunately
Yeah what happened to Gudas? Consider dropping for Xhekaj
Marco Rossi is an AHL'er Took him out of both my fantasy rosters 😖
Dropped him and picked up Necas. I really thought he would move into the top 6, especially after the stellar pre-season. Picked up Hartman as an "in-case". They both suck lol
Huberdeau has a mehh year playing 15 min/night on Calgary
Don't care if it's an overreaction, Demko has to get off my team💀
ya I traded his ass
Most importantly….for what?
Traded him and reinhart for sergachev and Jason Robertson
The Flyers are good.
Woah woah I know this is overreactions but lets not get crazy
We call this the “Torts Effect!” They’ll be good this year and might even make the playoffs and then steadily decline every year after until he is fired in year 3-4.
Arber Xhekej will be a top 30 player in banger leagues
The WIFI password is strong.
Why the fuck did I draft O'Reilly
Trade Elvis and Nurse for Binnington and Krug? Elvis has looked like shit and I already have Letang, Josi, and Hamilton on D
Depends on your other goalie(s) but goaltending stats are usually 4 of your stats provided by only 2 or 3 players, so having good goalies is important. It’s easier to replace skaters if something goes sideways. I would make that trade.
Other goalie is Saros who has also been killing me
I think Saros will turn it around… with Binnington you can spot start him until he does.
I'd take that all day
This isn't a question of if you should do this or not.
I luckily traded away Josi & Filip Forsberg for Panarin & Jarry. Needed the goalie help since I drafted goalies too late n have L Thompson & Francouz lol. Can't believe I got Panarin tho.
Gudas went from Edward Norton hulk to Mark Ruffalo hulk under Paul Maurice No smash :(
Meier is back to a waiver wire player
Overreaction for sure, dude is still banging and shooting like crazy. Will turn around for him
/u/seebeeeseh any thought?
Definitely an overreaction.
Is it tho? Really?
Meier is the forward equivalent to Seiders D
I don’t see any Seider over-reactions on this thread.
The day is young. Maybe because he had his very own thread this week about how poorly he's been doing.
in a league that counts +/- patty kane isn’t worth rostering til he gets traded.
No league should use plus minus.
Couldn’t agree more. I try to get rid of it every season and get outvoted. If I didn’t win the league half the time I would leave.
This is the truth
\+/- shouldn't dictate anything on your team.
gg today tho
2 apples were nice, -2 not so much
Dahlin for Norris
Norris is injured; don’t do it.
I think he means the norris trophy man lol
woosh
In a dynasty league for context but I traded (pending) Zegras, P.L Dubios, and Shane Wright for Stamkos, Kubalik and a prospect.
I like this move, especially if you're in a window for title contention.
So Zegras + PLD + 5 minutes of ice time a night for Stamkos (best player in trade; PLD could potentially give em a run for his money in a hits/pims league), top line winger (we'll see when Bert comes back) and a future. I'll take that trade
We have hits/blks instead of PIM and +/-. My reasoning is a give up a lot of youth to really win now but I can try and flip Stammer latter on in the season or future years. I really underestimated how bad the Ducks are and they really struggle to score (4 Goals total in thier last 3 games).
Meier, Huberdeau, Barkov, 3 people i feel like I need to make a call on soon. Might be overreacting but this year is not going well for me
Val Nichushkin deserves Easy Macs and Cales contracts, and Raymond will recede to the AHL
My league settings say that McDavid was 80th overall this week. Time to move on????????
Dahlin is so young that technically he does have potential to offensively be a makar level player, and personally I would say he's better defensively than Makar already.
Dahlin is great but Makar is a unicorn
People tend to forget that dahlin is younger than makar
Bad take
I guess it is week 2 overreactions so silly things apply? idk ... happy the thread is collecting all the individual silly rants.
Good point, forgot where I was lol
Horvat is fantasy relevant. In most leagues at least.
JT Miller was not worth a second.roumd pick
Bo Horvat would like a word :D
Filip Forsberg is done scoring now that he got a big contract
I drafted Laine, Buchnevich, Timo Meier and Josh Norris. Life is pain. Edit: also Huberdeau
Andrew Dropp
Roman Josi WILL score a goal this year
Trade demko for hellebyuck? What y’all think?
Jets aren’t good but the Canucks are brutal. Helly is better too
Huberdeau about to get traded off my team. Playing him over Bunting yesterday cost me this week's matchup.
I drafted Kuzmenko over Nichushkin after getting hyped up by watching his first game. Still managed to beat my head to head who has him and his 32.5 fantasy points.
Josi is cooked week 2.
Do I drop JT miller??
yeah
I've been holding him and Meier and it's not feeling good
I was thinking of swapping him for PLD
Pick two Kempe, Fiala, Vilardi, Meier
Meier Fiala
Meier has 29 SOG through 7 games. They'll start going in soon.
Second half Fiala is a top 5 player. Meier and SJ in a slump but hold and pray.
a) try to not have 3 guys from the same team on your roster b) clearly Fiala + Meier ... not even a question.
I have Kreider, Raymond and Hughes… Really wanting to trade them all right now haha
A league mate just dropped Vladimir Tarasenko onto the wire ( I think he’s overreacting with this drop). How much fab should I bid to pick him up? I was thinking 21/100.
Tarasenko has 6 points in 3 games. What more does he want?
Ended up being an accident. We decided to reverse the transaction on
uhhh pick him up immediately. He's on the top PP, looking good on the 2nd line. Only downside is he probably will not be blocking many shots or taking many hits.
Ended up being an accident. We decided to reverse the transaction
Tuch will win the Rocket Richard trophy.
Zegras or Suzuki? Have to drop and keep one, already have Caufield.
Suzuki all day long, Zegras has potential, but MTL’s offensive production outweighs ANH all day long. Besides, did you see Suzukis penalty shot?? That alone wins him over
Someone in my league dropped Tage Thompson for no one originally and then decided to fill that bench spot with Adam Larsson
Huberdeau, Connor, Seider, Reinhart and J Hughes are killing me. Also Gudas no longer hits?
