HAS Fantasy Productions presents: The 2021-2022 Winnipeg Jets Andrei Vasilevskiy as Connor Hellebuyck Shea Theodore as Josh Morrissey Anze Kopitar as Mark Scheifele Jakub Vrana as Kyle Connor Oliver Bjorkstrand as Nikolaj Ehlers Jamie Benn as Captain Blake Wheeler Ryan Getzlaf as Paul Stastny Pius Suter as Adam Lowry Jamie Oleksiak as Brendan Dillon Jesperi Kotkaniemi as Pierre-Luc Dubois Cam Fowler as Nate Schmidt Brandon Tanev as Andrew Copp Scott Mayfield as Dylan DeMelo Mikey Anderson as Neal Pionk Mathieu Perreault as Riley Nash Kaapo Kahkonen as Eric Comrie Morgan Geekie as Kristian Vesalainen Sami Niku as Ville Heinola Jimmy Vesey as Evegeny Svechnikov Andrej Sustr as Logan Stanely Brandon Duhaime as Jansen Harkins Mackenzie Entwistle as Dominic Toninato Codie Curran as Nathan Beaulieu and featuring Paul Maurice as himself This didn't turn into a gimmick team until after my second pick, and I noticed the parallels between Theodore and Josh Morrissey. Since this was my first year drafting for the Jets I decided then to mirror the real WInnipeg roster as close as I could without picking any current Jets (a bad habit I have in any fantasy hockey is taking way too many Jets, and I still wound up taking three former Jets anyway). Beyond matching player for player I had two other goals for this team: 1) Get as close to the salary cap as possible and 2) Lock this roster in - just like the real Jets the contract situation is such that what you see now is what you're stuck with for a while. It's obvious in hindsight but I did not anticipate how much the Jets lineup would change once training camp started. Some of the players I chose based on last year's lines are now pretty badly out of place, especially Getzlaf as Stastny (2C last year, middle six winger this year) and Tanev as Copp (who is currently playing 1C while Scheifele is out. I really should have found someone with offensive upside instead of Tanev who I love dearly but is not a top 6 player). Nevertheless I didn't bother trying to find a Cole Perfetti because I knew Maurice would never keep him around this year. Ignoring the COVID situation this is roughly what this roster would look like the way PoMo had the Jets looking at the start of the year. Not the best team but it was fun to put together: Vrana - Kopitar - Benn Getzlaf - Kotkianemi - Bjorkstrand Tanev - Suter - Vesey Perreault - Geekie - Duhaime Entwistle Oleksiak - Theodore Fowler - Mayfield Anderson - Sustr Curran AHL: Niku Vasilevskiy Kahkonen

CBJSprague24 posted:By signing him, the Columbus Blue Jackets assembled a roster of 23 players who were pretty much BPA at the time of their selections and, completely unintentionally until the last pick, have built a team that is spent exactly to the salary cap. This is impressive. Sadly, the Flyers can only get $21,668 short of the cap. Their final selection is 7th defenseman Colin Miller. Max Pacioretty-Leon Draisaitl-Patric Hornqvist Tomas Tatar-Yanni Gourde-Joel Farabee Anton Lundell-Dylan Strome-Michael Raffl Blake Lizotte-Radek Faksa-Wade Allison Eetu Luostarinen Thomas Chabot-Matt Dumba Travis Sanheim-Dante Fabbro Cam York-Alex Goligoski Colin Miller Juuse Saros Anton Khudobin Minors: Bobby Brink Coach: Bruce Boudreau My intent with the Flyers was to draft an offense focused team, one that could score really well. The defense is definitely offense-first, but I'm hoping that Saros and Khudobin can both bail the team out if there's any issues, and let the forwards (particularly the top two lines) outscore the other team. I anticipate a lot of high event hockey ahead for them.

The Blues final pick is going to also be a 7th defenseman, Chris Wideman. He's had mediocre fancy stats on some terrible Ottawa teams, so hopefully he can be a bit better in a limited role here. Gabe Landeskog-Alex Barkov-Nino Niederreiter Alex Lafreniere-Jordan Staal-Eeli Tolvanen Jordan Greenway-Adam Henrique-Connor McMichael Jonathan Dahlen-Scott Laughton-Barclay Goodrow Brandon Hagel Mattias Ekholm-Ryan Ellis Gustav Forsling-Jared Spurgeon Trevor van Riemsdyk-Troy Stecher Chris Wideman Jake Oettinger Alexandar Georgiev Minors: Zayde Wisdom Coach: Ken Hitchcock My plan for the Blues was to create a very good two way team, a team that would be very difficult to play against and would not give much space to work. I'm particularly happy with the top line and the defense, all of whom have solid defensive reputations. The top line in particular will be incredibly difficult to play against and ought to score quite a bit on their own. The second and third line both have talented wingers centered by solid veterans who can play in both ends, and Staal and Henrique should allow the more offensive talents (particularly McMichael and Lafreniere) to excel. The fourth line is a tenacious checking line and in Laughton and Dahlen has a bit of scoring touch on their own. The goalies, Oettinger and Georgiev, were more chosen on age and potential talent than current talent. Ideally they will have it fairly easy with the skaters in front of them, and should have time and space to grow into solid players.

Suzuki is probably good but having a rough start like all the Habs, Monahan is maybe cooked... the centers are just big question marks for me. Defense seems pretty okay though - Doughty getting second pairing minutes might be better for him. Montour is statistically one of the worst d-men in the league though so... Maybe that was buffalo or maybe that was him. Remains to be seen. Probably better than the real habs - shockingly similar composition to them (was that a gimmick?).

I do appreciate that even some of the gimmick teams would pass as an actual NHL roster. Whether thats a testament to goons or a condemnation of real life NHL GMs is up to you to decide.

Detroit / Team ELCcode:This team is terrible, I picked Spencer Knight super early because he was by far the best goal option, having a top rookie centre would have helped this team look at all competitive. Obviously it was never going to be a good team, but I was surprised how quickly some mid range rookies went. End up with quite a few guys who ive never heard of/didn't even end up making the big team.. Just missed out on the cap floor, however i'm like 900,000 short, so I can put Weber on Injured Reserve (not LTIR) and get the roster spot and pick one more guy which would get me there. So i've put Fabian Lysell in ** above as that guy, because none of this matters and I can. Which means I've kinda made a compliant team with 50 odd million sitting in the press box, which is an achievement of sorts. Seattle Kraken code:2 solid goalies (even if one is 39..) and a replacement in the wings. My defence can certainly score, with both Josi and Krug being good PP contributors - but not the all offence no defence kind of team i've drafted in the past. I think my bottom two pairs will benefit from playing lower down the lineup/ less responsibility given my top pair will play huge minutes. Only big roster issue is it's only a 21 man roster, not having a 7th D on the roster isn't great, but no teams ever fully healthy so it would likely end up working out fine with callups, but might play a game or two with only 5D! -- Has been fun!

Time for numbers:code: ).The young'uns, on the other hand, are almost all meeting or exceeding expectations. Mercer's kicking rear end and Sillinger is somehow staying up as an 18-year-old. Mercer's been so good that it doesn't even matter that Newhook was down in the A until a few weeks ago. Matthew Boldy is still injured. Jake Neighbours got sent back to the W (probably better for him), but that's given the Blues room to recall D Scott Perunovich, who is leading the A in scoring with 20 pts in 12 games (next Justin Schultz? I think so, but I hope he doesn't take as long to make an impact). Braden Schneider is doing fine in the AHL as well. code:

OK, checking in my team.

All of my defensive specialists are still incredible defensively, and Ek/Foligno have been a really nice offensive duo this year on top of elite defense. Mangiapane gives me a scorer. McAvoy and Toews are both top 5 D in the league this season (Toews when healthy is playing 25 mins a game and had 17 pts in 14 games). The only bummer really is goaltending. Koskinen has been a respectable backup but Petersen has struggled. I'm banking on him coming back around and even if he's an average goalie this team should win plenty of low-scoring games.

Taylor Hall - Matt Barzal - Oliver Wahlstrom Ivan Barbashyov - Charlie Coyle - Evgenii Dadonov Alex Kerfoot - Peyton Krebs - Lucas Raymond Matthias Janmark - I cba to find another C that hasn't been picked - Grigori Denisenko Brayden McNabb - Alex Pietrangelo Ty Smith - Ville Heinola Cal Foote - Justin Braun Chad Ruhwedel Igor Shesterkin Jake Allen Josef Korenar Pete DeBoer Basically, heavy on Islanders and Golden Knights, so a whole bunch of meh without any really crushing disappointments. Ty Smith probably the highest round real whiff. Notable not meh performances by the godlike Igor Shesterkin and his 0.937 sv%, potential Calder winner Lucas Raymond and his ten goals at near ppg, and a sneaky Alex Kerfoot coming in at +14. Best value pick was Ivan Barbashev and his 8 goals 17 points in the 20th round. Krebs, Denisenko, Korenar and Heinola all in the AHL. I'd hoped a couple would stick in the big show
