Odd having some Sabres players that will get you good fantasy points . Had Jack, Sam and ROR last year towards the end of the season. Years past never had a Sabre on my list .

Risto was a beauty for me in the first chunk of last season.

Michael Stone might get you some points, but also could cost you in the +/-.

I expect you to name Beaulieu for mtl, but not sure what you could pick on offense. Do radulov or gallagher count?

i drafted reinhart, bennett, and werenski in my new keeper league

i do have a question though lucas. my league i am running is switching to points based. what are your suggestions for what each thing should be worth? this is what i currently have:

Forwards/Defensemen Stat Category Value
Goals (G) 3
Assists (A) 2
Plus/Minus (+/-) 0.3
Powerplay Points (PPP) 1
Shorthanded Points (SHP) 2
Game-Winning Goals (GWG) 2
Shots on Goal (SOG) 0.3
Hits (HIT) 0.2
Blocks (BLK) 0.4
Goaltenders Stat Category Value
Wins (W) 3
Goals Against (GA) -1
Saves (SV) 0.3
Shutouts (SHO) 3

what do you think?

yep always consider all categories when picking your players.

Radulov I'm thinking considering he had 0 points in the NHL and should help the Habs offense a lot.

that's tough, usually my goalie stats are completely set aside from the forwards/defense.

we had 5 for a goal, 2 for an assist, +- = 1 or -1, PPG = 2 pts, PPA = 1 pts, SHG = 3 pts, SHA = 2 pts, GWG = 2 pts Hatrick = 5 points (didn't have hits, blocks or shots) goalie wins worth 5 points, shutout worth 10

everyone sets up differently, the key is for everyone to accept the setup ahead of time as it changes your drafting strategy.

cheers hope that helps

we set ours up with everyone there so they knew ahead of time what was worth what.

makes a huge dif. when drafting.

Yea, I set them up with my Co commish and we told everyone what they are and to make sure to take it into consideration when drafting. Hopefully it works out

Kessel's salary is $8m.... but only 6.25 on HB

It's all about the cap hit.

how early is too early to draft mackinnon?

I'd imagine he goes in the 3rd-5th round in most pools

Trying to decide my Four keepers

Right now I am at
Ovie
Quick
Gaudreau
Perry.

But debating swapping out Perry for Forsberg due to his age.
Also have bergeron and backstrom but dont think i'll be taking them.

Any advice?

I was thinking of trying to take him in the 4th. Get a stud in the 1st, goalie 2nd, hall in the 3rd, and Mackinnon in the 4th. Ideally but it never works out that way haha
