Yeah, it's a lot tougher when you are among the leaders too. Don't want to screw things up and send a player that will bite your ass later.

yep, thats the hard part...making the tough decisions.

i had to drop someone last night, because E kane was back.

ribiero or perron i was debaiting, ended up dropping perron because NSH is looking good, and Ribiero is #1C with Neal on the wing...i think they will do well.

Yeah, tough decisions, but that's what makes it so fun. Just picked Perron and have no cap space. I'm just hoping 1 of Scheifele, Barkov, Silfverberg to produce a tad more and that should keep me competitive.

Oh for sure, playing with Kane and Wheeler have to bring lots of points.

we've just scratched the surface of the season - I'd bet those 3 all end up with 50+.

I dropped Galagher for E Kane moving off of IR in my league as well.

I'm heavy LW so I'm trying to do a 2 for 1 split peddling JVR + for either an elite d-man for preferably goaltender. Drafting Mike Smith is looking to be my biggest mistake in the draft.

Thanks for the info and blogs

yeah a worthy upgrade for us both then.

you have any leaf fans in your pool? JVR should be quite worthy to them...try to sell him for a goalie if you are in need.

are there any decent goalies on the market that you wouldnt have to trade for?

cheers!

Svedberg, Gustavsson, and Raanta are 3 best rated available, basically there's nothing. I have Bishop and Hiller/Ramo but I would like a better #2 instead of Smith and have the Calgary combo be my #3

My roster is C Fil Forsberg, Spezza, Tyler Johnson, and Stepan returning soon

LW is JVR, Jamie Benn, Kucherov, Palat, E kane

RW is Hornquist, Calahan returning soon, plus TJ, Kucherov, and Forsberg qualify as RW

D is Pietrangelo, Vatanen, Stralman, Visnovski, Hedman (IR)

Hey Lucas,

I was just proposed a trade that I think you'll love, but I'd love some input before I act.



To me this looks like a no-brainer. Staal should at least equal Burns' production from here on out, and Nelson is just icing on the cake.

Burns has been a mother (frank)ing all-star for me so far, but this is a perfect example of selling high and buying low, no?

Well, I bit the bullet and accepted the trade. Hopefully, trading away my top fantasy point getter to this point doesn't bite me in the ass.

Should I put Mackinnion in tonight? Or Zach Parise?

Need to pick someone up to replace to I injured Lupul...

Considering Soderberg, Hudler, CHiasson, Comeau....

Mike and Brad Richards also still out there, its basically a points only league, PIMS and +/- dont mean much....

Also thinking about a Dman...Kris Russel, MDZ, Bogosian....

lots to choose from...what do you think?
