I have never had good goaltending in these goon leagues (the first bad Carey Price season was the year I took him, and I also took Hellebuyck last year) but now I have Igor in both LSL and HHL so we're really gonna put this to the test

Osti Pastrnak I really didn't go into this one with a plan and I ended up with a lot of guys on the same teams. Boston forwards and Colorado defense, basically, plus Florida's goaltending. I wasn't trying to be a homer either but all those Boston players felt too cheap to pass up. Rakell and Drysdale I didn't actually want that much, but got at the "nominate and hope someone else takes them" stage of the draft, but they're not the worst players to have. Overall I'm pretty pleased. I think I could have done better but my keepers really help to buoy me here. When everyone is healthy this could be a very good team. I was shocked more people didn't push for McAvoy. He's out until November but he's insanely productive for this format (37th overall in 2021-22) and a great keeper option at just $16. 1. (10) Sergei Bobrovsky (Fla - G) $78 2. (33) Patrice Bergeron (Bos - C) $70 3. (38) David Pastrnak (Bos - RW) $81 4. (61) Nick Suzuki (Mon - C) $30 5. (77) Spencer Knight (Fla - G) $47 6.

1. (6) Auston Matthews (Tor - C) $193 2. (15) Alex Ovechkin (Was - LW) $85 3. (52) Joe Pavelski (Dal - C,RW) $55 4. (130) Valeri Nichushkin (Col - LW,RW) $22 5. (133) Ryan Pulock (NYI - D) $6 6. (167) Jared Spurgeon (Min - D) $11 7. (175) Jordan Staal (Car - C) $8 8. (176) Cal Petersen (LA - G) $1 9. (181) Sean Durzi (LA - D) $5 10. (185) David Perron (Det - RW) $6 11.

(282) Marc-Andre Fleury (Min - G) $15 17. (283) Evan Bouchard (Edm - D) $5 18. (284) Bo Horvat (Van - C) $60 Can't say I planned to get Matthews, but he's arguably the best player in this format. I've been dying for top-end forward talent for years, and with goaltending a non-issue having a focus was easy. We'll see how the $26 defense holds out, but I think there's enough scoring talent to mitigate it. Like this draft a whole lot more than last year's.

Letang Chung I feel pretty happy with this considering I don't think my keepers are that great. Not sure I'm super thrilled with Thompson at $56 given Binnington later went for the same price but hopefully Vegas doesn't suck. Was very happy with my prices for Guentzel, Kopitar, and Carlson. Also pretty happy with the prices I paid for Morrissey and Andersson. J.T Miller I didn't get a bargain on but it was market value. I am a little nervous that he might not be able to repeat that year but as long as he only takes a minor step back production-wise and not a huge step back I think it's still good value. My plan for this draft was to not get into insane bidding wars. I didn't want to pay like $200 for a Matthews or a Draisaitl. They rule and all, but I'm not sure I'd want them for much more than like $130 or so. I dunno, maybe I'm undervaluing them, but it's just soooo much of your cap to pay for those guys. Like you could get two-three good players for that price. 1. (11) Anze Kopitar (LA - C) $48 2. (21) John Carlson (Was - D) $43 3. (22) J.T. Miller (Van - C,LW) $95 4. (28) Jake Guentzel (Pit - LW) $65 5. (64) Connor Hellebuyck (Wpg - G) $79 6. (75) Logan Thompson (VGK - G) $56 7. (111) Josh Morrissey (Wpg - D) $21 8. (112) Rasmus Andersson (Cgy - D) $28 9. (131) Luke Kunin (SJ - LW,RW) $2 10. (180) Jared McCann (Sea - C,LW) $3 11. (192) T.J. Oshie (Was - C,RW) $2 12. (213) Brandon Duhaime (Min - LW,RW) $1 13. (219) Brady Skjei (Car - D) $1 14. (223) J.T. Compher (Col - C,RW) $1 15. (277) Ondrej Palat (NJ - LW) $15 16. (278) Jesper Bratt (NJ - RW) $2 17. (279) Justin Faulk (StL - D) $3 18. (280) Evgeny Kuznetsov (Was - C) $35

Hughes on First? My only strategy was to get a strong goalie and center. I threw my money at Vasilevskiy, because there was nearly nothing else available, and then I grabbed Crosby because I had missed on my other choices (Barkov and MacKinnon, to name two). From there, since I knew money was tight, I decided to spend it on two good players, then worry about the rest. I tried to focus on more players who could bring ~intangibles~ and ~grit~. My goalie picks were "who can I get for nothing?" Then I noticed Tom Wilson still available, and I figured he'd be a great stash. 1. (14) Andrei Vasilevskiy (TB - G) $116 2. (25) Sidney Crosby (Pit - C) $99 3. (34) Josh Norris (Ott - C) $51 4. (57) Pierre-Luc Dubois (Wpg - C) $56 5. (137) Carter Hart (Phi - G) $1 6. (169) Erik Haula (NJ - C,LW) $1 7. (177) Hampus Lindholm (Bos - D) $2 8. (179) Erik Johnson (Col - D) $2 9. (183) Oliver Wahlstrom (NYI - RW) $1 10. (184) Damon Severson (NJ - D) $4 11. (195) Ivan Barbashev (StL - C,LW) $1 12. (202) Brenden Dillon (Wpg - D) $2 13. (206) James Reimer (SJ - G) $1 14. (215) Tom Wilson (Was - RW) $1 15. (249) Ryan Hartman (Min - C) $2 16. (250) Victor Hedman (TB - D) $76 17. (251) Nikita Kucherov (TB - RW) $34 18. (252) Kirill Kaprizov (Min - LW) $50

I thought about taking Wilson too but I already have McAvoy and Marchand stashed on LTIR, and Wilson isn't going to be back until late December at the earliest, from what I've been reading. He could be big though in that back half of the season. Good $1 bet

Yeah, and who knows how long I can stash him. I think he's valuable enough to keep around, but it all depends on my injury situation. Since you already have Marchand and McAvoy, I can see exactly why you passed.

Chychruncheese my strategy was 1) get draisaitl 2a) get as many w eligible centers as possible 2b) wait for DEALZ 3) defense is stupid worked last year (until it didn't) 1.

(233) Dylan Larkin (Det - C) $45 danault, seguin, rust, quick were the dealz, strome was a little much when i was on tilt for missing out on copp. lost out on too many good d hits/blocks dmen. I'm pretty content with what's on the wire though, happy with the scoring and fw/hits potential in the forward group

Other than that just tried to get guys mostly on good teams, +- should be good, faceoffs probably not and not sure the rest. Also I threw the teams into the athletics fantasy model thing (which I used for the first 45 minutes till work got in the way), not sure it did me heaps of help. code:VOTE1 fucked around with this message at 07:45 on Oct 11, 2022 |

I don't think it changed much of what I did really. Every year I go big scorers -> goalies -> second tier forwards with offensive D sprinkled in if I think I can get a good deal and big meathead idiot D for hits/blocks at the end if I can't.

I have hopes that since its not a money league, and I posted 3min after the error, that folks will appreciate that it was a misclick-esque accident. No one is dropping their 8th round pick & starting goalie an hour after they are declared healthy and no longer IR+ status, ya know?

I think I did the same thing last year in a league, mixed up my Russian names goalies and dropped the good guy. I just bid like $30 and got him back. But a misclick shouldn’t ruin a season so im happy for you to get him back. Edit: wait that’s LSL, I’m not even in that..

I just got offered Andrei Vasilevskiy for Jack Hughes in a keeper league, goaltending has always been my achilles heel (currently running Demko, Swayman, and Knight) but it feels bad to trade away a potential 1C like Hughes. I feel like I have to do it though right? I already have Barkov holding down my forward depth

Was there a change to how yahoo handles FA pickups? I'm used to running my team entirely through knee jerk gut reactions and having them reflected the next morning, now I just get a warning about not being able to drop a player that's already played. Also, the 'Available Players (Games Today/Tomorrow)' seems really wonky, none of the dates are actually correct (today says the 20th) and they don't appear to show the right schedules at all.

If you're talking about LSL, the league changed to same day adds. Took me a bit to realize. I think you can't drop a guy whose game has already started so that you aren't cycling players within the same day (start a guy in a 7pm game and then drop him for a 10pm start). But you can drop those guys tomorrow morning and have your pickup available immediately.

Made my first big brain move of the season. Sat John Gibson (with no alternative going in) who has allowed like 5 goals a night for the past 4 games, against Boston, who has scored 5+ goals almost every game. So naturally Gibson has only allowed 1 on 33 with minutes to go in the 3rd
