I was eyeing Hudon as well. He's looked good on the ice but hasn't hit his stride yet. If he can turn his shooting luck around he'll be a monster but I don't know if it's luck or shot location with him. Could be a breakout year but also it's Montreal.

As a fervent hab supporter (shoot me) i can't shake my perception that Hudon is Desharnais 2.0. He tiny and he fall a lot

quote:

Hart is in the middle of one of the all-time great goaltending seasons in WHL history. His .961 save percentage is a full 20 points higher than the next best season on record among goalies with regular starts. A back to back WHL goalie of the year, Hart is a very smart and technically sound netminder. His knowledge of how to read the game, track pucks and position himself in the net is high-end, if not elite. He’s a calm goaltender who never seems to get out of his technique on tough saves. His athleticism is decent. He moves around at a solid level and has an above-average glove hand, but he doesn’t have an explosive element in his game.

The main knock I've heard on him is that he's not athletic enough to be an elite guy at the NHL level, as opposed to the Russian trio of dudes who are all pretty explosive, but I like him going forward with Samsonov.

Gambling on a player I've literally never heard of but who has amazing possession stats and who Bruins fans seem to think of as a hidden treasure in the making. All I know is his name sounds like someone slammed on a keybaord.

The Anaheim Ducks of Anaheim would like to select defenseman Brenden Dillon. An above water corsi player with solid enough zone entry and exit stats. Working best on the 3rd pairing, but able to play a bit on the second pair if absolutely necessary Dillon adds a bit of old fashioned dependability on our back end. With a one game suspension for slashing Madison Bowey, Dillon continues our tradition of jack assery.

I am in actuality probably going to end up doing

Ovechkin-Wennberg-Smith
Forsberg-Bjugstad-Arvidsson
Athanasiou-Zetterberg-Miller


and if Bjugstad decides that he really just can't be a center, I'll move him down to 3C to work it out on a division of labor line, and call hank up...

Ovechkin-Zetterberg-Miller
Forsberg-Wennberg-Arvidsson
Athanasiou - Bjugstad-Smith


.... because I want Miller to learn under his wing and maybe actually be a center... and them doing that on the 3rd line is rad as heck because if I could limit Hank to only like 25% of the ES minute distribution to let him focus his energy on PP/PK, then he's the best 3C in the league and my captain and let me have this.

I honestly tried to land Hank as the 3C special teams specialist last year and settled for Barzal in some late rear end round


My hope is to be a 9 total goals per game team that plays wide the gently caress open fast fun hockey as it should be, and if (when betch) they manage the playoffs I'm gonna roll out the

Ovechkin-Zetterberg-Bjugstad
Forsberg-Wennberg-Arvidsson

and this is all a sim so I'm gonna live over here in theoretical hockey utopia

He said he was going to play. He makes actual money this year (next year he doesn’t).

And old and busted guy still played 82 games last year and scored 56 points. Not that busted yet.

Alfy played into his 40s. Hank could if he wanted to.

Oh, don't get me wrong -- he was still effective as hell last year given what he's working with. But the injury/age stuff isn't just a ruse to cover for him retiring next year. He's done a good job changing his playstyle but I feel like he could lose it at any moment given his injury history.

He hasn’t missed a game in 3 years.

If he retires because of injuries, it’s because of his contract.

Good morning. I select Ryan Spooner who in real life never quite got a chance beyond the third line in Boston, but did pretty well when he got his chances, and thrived after being traded to the Rangers. Unfortunately for him, it's back to being a third liner in my fantasy team, but I will switch him to his natural position (center) and move Strome to LW. He's currently a RFA but I don't think he'll be prohibitively expensive.
