Haha I just grabbed him! Haven't been sitting on him.

My tandem of Schneider/Kinkaid/Leighton/Ramo sure is something.

Oh ok I quickly scanned recent waivers and didn't see an add that makes me feel better.

I pretty much need a Kuemper start this week or I probably won't hit 3.

In a full keeper salary cap league I have Kucherov and have been offered Tavares and Kyle Connor for him.

Kuch is riding some pretty unsustainable numbers but is 23 and the better scorer. Also has 2 more years of a great contract.

JT takes more shots and has probably lower numbers than he'll end up. Also his contract is still really good.

Connor is the wildcard that maybe swings it in my favour but... Thoughts?

How deep is the league? I'm not sure that Connor is gonna do poo poo this year at this point, and in fact is probably going to be sent down soon.

I'm pretty happy with Allen/Ward as my goaltending tandem at the moment. Ward's been surprisingly good this year and is actually carrying most of the weight in my goaltending matchups.

Pavelec was my last pick in the draft and I'm holding onto him in the hopes that somebody is going to be desperate enough to use him.

Might be worth it then -- you get Tavares in his contract next year too and Connor will improve really quickly.

2 weeks in a row I've had 0 goalie games played by Thursday in LSL and then came out winning or even sweeping the goalie categories by the end of the week

Is Jeff Skinner looking legit this year? I feel like I'm going to pick him up and he'll immediately take a hit that leaves him eating his meals through a straw in a dark room for the rest of his life.

For what it's worth, Skinner has been (mostly) healthy the past three seasons. He's played over 70 games in each of them, even playing every game last season.

I think it's mostly people being down on Rask and Bobrovsky because of last season. You got those two for a bargain. Burns was really cheap too, and in retrospect $110 for McDavid is probably under value.

There's still 11 weeks to go but I'm kind of down on my team. I went all in this year (I did the swap for Forsberg with you last year) but my keepers have been mostly disappointing between Forsberg being snakebitten and Gaudreau getting injured. Then the Brian Elliot gamble screwed me over. On the plus side, I was worried about rebuilding since I can't keep Forsberg or Gaudreau next season, but some of my draft picks are going to be nice keepers for the next two years. I have Pastrnak ($4), Werenski ($1), Vesey ($1), Buchnevich ($1), and Trocheck ($2). I also grabbed Schwartz off of waivers for $35 so that's a possibility too.

I did think Rask would rebound but Bob was pure luck -- I think I originally got in on him to drive up the price.

My LSL and HHL teams both kind of suck. But at least not as bad as the one guy who autodrafted in LSL.

HHL, I'm 12th but you look at the standings and the vast majority of the teams are under .500, so I just need to have a few good weeks. I think that's possible, my team is too good to be 12th IMO.

LSL right now I'm seventh, but there's only 7 points separating fourth and tenth; with my easy remaining schedule I think I have a shot at the division still. Or I might miss the playoffs entirely.

I'm right on the edge in LOL and HHL; with a good couple weeks I could be in to get owned by the hilariously dominant 1 seeds.

Petr Mrazek was not a good choice in the LSL draft. I could have had Bobrovsky instead, and probably would have been cruising with him and Gibson right now.

Yeah I'm in the playoffs in the LOL with my autodrafted/waiver team but it doesn't have a chance.

My LSL team is alright, I think it's probably on the way to yet another 2nd round exit.


e: I'd say I'm in the market for veteran upgrades in the HHL but I don't have a lot of youth to offer. Panarin and Ekblad I guess but they've only got a year left and with Panarin there's not much to upgrade him to.

I'm just hoping to finish over .500 to consider my first LSL season a success. Lots of stuff didn't work out for me, like thinking the Islanders were smart enough to call up Ho-Sang early in the season, thinking Kyle Connor would have the same kind of immediate impact someone like Gaudreau had, taking Jack Eichel as my 3rd round pick, and thinking Anton Rodin's knee wasn't as bad as it is.

Cam Ward's been a pleasant surprise, considering I took him solely because he was the last starter available.

I'm in a weird position in HHL because I might need to offload veterans, but I'm also already set with cheap young guys. I can have Pastrnak, Buchnevich, Trocheck, and Werenski for the next three (two?) years as keepers so its not like I'm hurting for cheap, talented, players. I just don't know where to go with the team this year. I might just have to settle for a middling finish.

HHL is irritating because my team is in 11th and probably won't make it but it's next to impossible to find a trading partner to even re-tool for next season because all the good teams are full of expensive vets. The bad teams seem to have most of the young guys worth trading for but none of them would have any reason to move those guys.

Yahoo Daily Fantasy is acting up, saying Price and Gibson aren't starting tonight, while their regular fantasy leagues say the two of them are. At this point I'm playing with house money instead of my own, but it's still annoying that I might lose because they hosed up.

Duclair, Bennett, Draisaitl, Fabbri, or Reinhart (really, any one of them. I can't decide).

I picked Duclair :(

Fabbri has 46 points (in our scoring system which rewards goals), Draisaitl has 70 points, Reinhart has 46 points, and Bennett has 29 points.

Duclair has 14 points and is in the AHL.

I feel like he's really struggled with Domi being out. If he was still playing I'd think Duclair would be chugging along just fine.

I'm right on the bubble in HHL right now but I don't really have anyone to buy with to put me over the edge. This is my last year keeping Tarasenko too, which is really going to hurt if I don't win it this year. I guess if someone's really interested in J.T. Miller as a cheap keeper I could trade him for a points getter.

In LSL I have taken over the Canada division lead and don't plan on letting go. I can't wait to win a third straight division and then lose in the first round to the 7 seed.
