in a fantasy league where goals are worth 3pts and assists are worth 2, in which order do you draft these players?


Atkinson

Hopefully, in that order, with JVR being healthy and getting his typical 25 goals.
My gut says Atkinson has a really good season.

Tough one without seeing who plays where.

I would probably go

Atkinson
TK
Farabee
JVR

I think it could really be close when it all plays out.

Well it certainly is sad, silly season.
2 weeks before camp starts and we are reduced to talking about fantasy draft pics.
Hey, how that Ellis guy, signed 6 more years, Provey for 4, solid pair. Sanhiem, Risto?
That could be all kinds of fun to watch.
Cam for Jake?
Liked Jake a lot. Sorry to see him go. Excited to see Cam.
I think on paper this is the best D since 2010.
It's been added to basically the hottest team from 2 years ago.
I AM OFFICIALLY EXCITED!!!

My grandparents would never forget where they were on 12/7/1941.

My parents will never forget where they were on 11/22/1963

I will never forget the morning of 9/11/2001.

Sadly history is not taught as history today good or bad. It’s taught that the USA is bad period.
Without a doubt this country has its sins. We have also done a tremendous amount of positive things.
The American people are some of the most generous you could ever know.
Never Forget!
For those of you with young children pass on what you know and what you witnessed.
It’s a crying shame it’s takes a tragedy for the country to come together.

Another moron talking smack who thinks everyone is stupid and can’t actually read source material.
For your information chump I don’t watch fox being it’s propaganda.
I’m old enough to know better. I was taught to think not to follow.

- bird_dog_pa

Not everyone can see the truth and even fewer can accept truth when they find it. It's easier to stay in the delusional world as opposed to independent research and an ability to accept that what we have been taught is nothing but a lie

[One day, though, I asked someone if she had a coupon for "our Ovenless Supreme". The person didn't smile.
- bmeltzer


That might have been too understated for the modern age.

I would have been a tad more crude, and politely informed her that she had come to the wrong place, but that you could put one in the oven for her if she really wanted it.

I could care less about fantasy stats I listed the four in order of who I thought might score more goals.
What else are we going to discuss when even camp hasn’t started.

Seriously I’m actually cautiously optimistic.

Well those four could be interesting. Cam has several 30 goal seasons. TK, 3 in a row of 24. JVR, should pot 25 plus in a normal, injury free campaign. Farabee just put up 20 in the shortened, Covid season.
I think both JVR and TK return to norm. 25 - 30. Farabee in the same range. Cam is the outlier, new team, etc. Have to see where he fits in. I'm looking to similar production as the other 3.
They all bring the same range if scoring. They all are different in how they score. It's really a nice mix.
Let's not forget Coots and G in the 25 plus range as well.
It should make A very difficult team to play against.

Dude, the original post Specifically said in a fantasy league who would you draft first. Some never read the original posts.

And proceeded to list all Flyers, asking about how others would think they would perform. Try to follow along, I know it’s tough.

Not sure if anyone sees this but multiple outlets report on Patrick mahomes wife’s commentary (tweets), she’s seems insufferable
