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.

16 teams x 25 players + 10 player farm team. Is deep deep deep

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

So I might repeat in the HHL I got ridiculously lucky with some of these picks

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 HHL team is absurd, which means it will choke in the first round like that LOL team I had a few years back that won like 16 weeks in a row.

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 just went from 2nd to 7th with a 2 point buffer in the LSL, gentlemen we have a race

I would maybe willing to package Ekblad and Henrik for a veteran upgrade if anyone in the HHL is interested.

I might blow my playoff spot in the LSL. Playing the 9th seed and I'm down 3.

e: yeah my autodrafted LOL team is gonna make it but it stands no chance. HHL I'm the favorite but it's been close lately, having to only win a couple of games because of the bye will help though I hope.

Ended up 6th in the LSL, and top seed in the making GBS threads gold HHL team I drafted. Holding on to 6th in the LOL with a 23 point lead on 9th so barring a spectacular collapse I'm OK there.

Welp, Malkin, Johnson, and Lundqvist are all dead so that's probably the end of the playoffs for my LSL team. One of these years I'll justify my seed again.

You destroyed me like two weeks ago, too -- sorry dude.

It's the beauty of fantasy hockey!

I've lost in the semifinals every single year since winning it the first season, I don't expect this one to be any different.

Devan Dubnyk clearly did not get a shutout.

What exactly is the playoff tiebreaker in LSL? I have the tiebreaker if it's head to head record or seeding, but I'm not actually sure if it's either of those.

I believe its H2H.

T-Bone: Sep 14, 2004; jakes did this?

this is like 5 or 6 seasons in a row of losing in the semis in the LSL (altho I did win the inaugural season).

Looks like I'll be going for a repeat in the HHL, and somehow my poo poo LOL team might get to the second round.

You say that but I think you can still win that matchup. All you have to do is flip +- to win and you're one off Le-Tang Clan in that right now.

He has too many guys going I think, I don't think I'll hold on to blocks either. Crawford's bad week did me in.

Bah, I probably could have won HHL if I was willing to gut my team to flip some secondary categories like SOG and BLK, but that's not exactly a smart long term strategy (hello leafs). Oh well.

edit: now that I look, I guess you won by doing some swapping over the last few days? looks like just one or two guys (like five times), not sure it made the final difference. Suppose I could have paid more attention, oh well. If talbot hadn't poo poo the bed I could have had it.

I think I probably had it won anyway, but yeah I swapped a bit at the end. An entire week Malkinless and then Ekblad/Rask going down was rough though. I may not win this thing if he doesn't come back this week.

Back to back in the HHL with the luckiest draft of all-time, woo.

I think McDavid is actually probably worth keeping at $125 or whatever next year, too.

I'm in the LOL finals somehow, I feel bad for beating Pronger Physics, his team was actually good.

Congratulations to me on winning the LOLHL, the league where 3 of the 14 teams showed up to draft.

I feel less good about making it to the finals with my autodrafted team.

The non-autodrafts should feel worse.

I mean, I do work the gently caress out of the waiver wire.
