Kadri, Bergeron, Steen, Beleseky don't score goals? Bergeron had the most goals last year of anyone on my team. Pirri is a 15+ player. Buchnevich should be formidable. I have two 10-15 goal scorers on my fourth line in Smith and Larsson. I'm not sure why you think I lack offense when I have 3 30-goal scorers plus several 15-20 goal scorers, including Steen who's a 50-60 point player and Kadri who's probably a 60-point player used correctly. And that's with Mantha in the fold. Not to mention I have one of the best puck-moving defenses drafted and it's not like Drew Doughty won't add to the offense playing 25 minutes a night.

Parise-Bergeron-Simmonds-Steen-Doughty isn't a good powerplay?

I wish I had three thirty goal scorers. I had a goal (lol) of making a team capable of hitting 220 goals because that seemed to be the cutoff for the playoffs this year and still be competitive (ie LA/TB/NSH/STL all hit 224). I believe extrapolating goals from shortened seasons/rookie scoring I should hit that but my team is definitely a scoring by committee team unless Aho/Nylander blow poo poo up next year.

I should hit 220 goals with just my forwards. I think my team coached by Julien would be one of the best four teams in the league and would contend for a Cup. If Elliot doesn't poo poo the bed as a full-time starter.

Yeah goal scoring shouldn't be your problem. I'm slightly concerned how bad some of your forwards seem to be at shot suppression though.

Speaking of possession and shot suppression: Logan Couture. Oops. At least Parenteau/Gaudreau should make that line work.

I think my first line is really good defensively, especially with Bergeron/Parise. My middle six definitely lacks defensive forwards. My strategy was to get a great puck-moving team that produces offensively so that the lack of defensive forwards matters less. Elliot is capable of being average over 55-60 games.

You think my team would lose the goal differential battle? It's probably a 250-goal team and I think that's good enough to be one of the best teams in the league. I don't think I lack depth at all considering between Beleseky/Pirri that's gonna be 30-35 goals between those two on the third line. And again Smith/Larsson on my fourth line actually do drive offense respectably and pot 10+ goals.

Also the lines aren't set in stone and a lot depends on how Buchnevich develops this year.

Brodeurs Nanny posted:

Ah I saw you said "every line but the top" just now. I dunno Kadri/Steen drive shot differential as far as I see. And Buchnevich looks good.

I personally don't see 250 goals coming from that squad. You'll be scoring a lot of goals though, I'd guess 230-240 which is still really high. Steen/Kadri are also both not great at shot suppression so while they'll drive shots for they'll allow shots against, so much so that Steen was actually a negative CFREL player last year and has been declining in his defensive abilities every year.

We should probably also start consensus picking for teams at some point here to round out expansion lists and stuff if we want to do this right.

My dumb team:

Gaudreau (hurt) - Stastny - Nylander
Evander Kane - Couture - Sebastian Aho
Namestnikov - Nestrasil - Parenteau
Colin Greening - Brayden Point - Rychel
Grabovski (hurt)

Chychrun - Letang
Alzner - E. Johnson
Lindell - Koekkoek
Hultstrom (SHL)

Stebe Mason
Calbin Pickard

Darryl Sutter

overall I'm actually still happy with it, Nylander was well worth a 4th round pick despite the naysayers
Hultstrom didn't pan out like I hoped
Chychrun/Point seem like great late round picks
plus I got the best coach in hockey to smooth over the rough spots
and the core of my team is all under 30 other than Stastny
if Evander Kane would pick his poo poo up I'd be pretty happy with my top six, I like the rest of my team other than playing Koekkoek out of position and my 4th line being questionable
RIP Grabovski, one headshot too many :(

I'm an idiot can you make it so it grabs advanced stats too like CF%, CF%Rel, PDO?

Lineup Creator

So this is a neat tool where you can just plug in names and it estimates your teams CF%, CF/60, CA/60, GF%, GF/60, GA/60 and points over the course of a season. I plugged my poo poo team into it and got this:



So I drafted a mediocre team that'll squeak into the playoffs, assuming everyone is healthy, which seems incredibly accurate. I substituted Matt Martin and Nikita Soshnikov for Greening and Kerby Rychel.

You just have to download that sheet and pop it into excel or google sheets.

I quickly plugged Brodeur's Nunnery into it because he had the most impressive looking team to me on this page, substituting parenteau for buchnevich, and welp:

Plugging in my second pairing as being

Ristolainen - Bowmeester

as opposed to

Gardiner - Carrick

costs me like 6 games.

Cool tool though

thats because Ristolainen sucks rear end at defense and also offense at even strength and bouwmeester is also bad

That's what I'm sayin, I built the Isles to fill some Barclay seats and get good ratings. Defense is for the birds.

I'd be really curious to see how these sims work out, looking forward to them.


e: I put them into the lineup creator thing




Clarke MacArthur got murdered by a teammate so I put in the forgettable Alan Quine, Erik Condra got hurt so I left that default Toronto dude on my 4th line since I've never heard of him. Much like the guy above who got screwed by the real Isles not playing Barzal, my 3rd d pair of Scott Mayfield (little short on minutes) and Ryan Pulock (kept in AHL despite owning) don't exist. So I left the default Maple Leaf third pair.

I wondered how the projection would be effected by swapping Ehlers and Kucherov, but it actually doesn't change much. Ehlers surprised me a lot this year. And the Marchand-Tavares-Kucherov trio have pretty much lived up to any expectations I could've had for them. Fun team actually seems to be surprisingly successful!

How the gently caress did you get Tavares Marchand and Kucherov holy poo poo.
