23. (366) Andrej Meszaros (Buf - D)


I never ever take offensive D, especially in a H/B format, but oh well. MacDonald/Ellis/Meszaros/Grabner were autos and will probably all be dropped (well maybe not MacDonald).

Whoa, I missed this. I think you mentioned that you took 3 D in the 13th Forward League, but drat, didn't realize it was this dire. I suggest trying to trade one of your big 3 D for a forward, because I think you will run into problems. Outside of Hall, do you think you have any big point producers? Maybe Tarasenko breaks out even more this year.

Yeah, definitely ended up with some good dmen but at the time it was pretty frustrating.

As a whole, while not a world-beater of a team, I am pretty satisfied with it.

I'd be worried about your goalie tandem. I have zero faith in either guy. I have read that the Blues are grooming Allen this season, so he will be taking Elliott's starts (and may take over the #1 spot), and I don't have any confidence in Mason. Although, to be fair, Mason could have a Vezina-like season, and I would still doubt him. I don't like Mason. I think there's high probability that one of them falters.

Other than that, I like your team. I think Barkov will be a steal (although I continue to doubt this, because, y'know, Florida)

Yeah, tell me about it. That's why it stung so much when I missed out on both Holtby and Luongo. I am fairly confident about Elliot's starts, though, and if Mason plays like last season, I'll be fairly well off. But if Allen steals the job at St. Louis and Mason turns into a pumpkin (I loved this figure of speach some Flyers fan made in the team introduction thread, btw), I'm loving hosed.

Thanks for the compliments and comments!

You're taking a hit in scoring (EStaal probably outscores Bergeron and Ryan probably out scores Iginla) but you gain in FO and +/- (mainly in +/- because as good as Bergeron is in FO EStaal wins a ton of faceoffs too).

If you've already played fantasy baseball, fantasy hockey should be pretty easy. The formats (H2H, Rot, Auction) are the same, it's just understanding what the stats are and they're all pretty much commonly used NHL stats: goals/assists/points/gaa/sv%/wins/shutouts/+-/hits/blocks/etc.

I would say no. I typically don't do trades before the season unless it's a major win for me, and I think there is potential that this deal blows up in your face. Mind you, I still view Eric Staal as the guy he has been for the majority of his career than the version he was last year, and now that Ryan is healthy, I think he could rebound. Essentially, Staal + Ryan have a higher potential (and chance) to be pretty good offensive producers this year.

Is it... safe?
Did my first draft (we're 2C, 2LW, 2RW, 1F, 4D, 1UTIL, 2G, 4B, 1IR) Stats are (A, G, P, PIM, PPP, Hits, +/- and W, Save%, GAA, SO). I was 11th, which I wasn't too thrilled about, but here it is:

1. (11) Patrick Kane (Chi - C,RW)
2. (14) Jamie Benn (Dal - LW)
3. (35) Cory Schneider (NJ - G)
4. (38) Matt Duchene (Col - C,LW)
5. (59) Henrik Zetterberg (Det - C,LW)
6. (62) Thomas Vanek (Min - LW,RW)
7. (83) Jaroslav Halak (NYI - G)
8. (86) Alex Pietrangelo (StL - D)
9. (107) Christian Ehrhoff (Pit - D)
10. (110) Bryan Little (Wpg - C,RW)
11. (131) Brad Richards (Chi - C,LW)
12. (134) Jacob Trouba (Wpg - D)
13. (155) Nazem Kadri (Tor - C)
14. (158) Dougie Hamilton (Bos - D)
15. (179) Evgeny Kuznetsov (Was - C,LW)
16. (182) Antoine Roussel (Dal - LW)
17. (203) Jake Allen (StL - G)
18. (206) Mark Scheifele (Wpg - C)

The goalie run started in 3. Rask was picked 2 overall (I know) and Lundqvist was 8. Quick, Niemi(what?), Bishop, and Price all went in 2. Bob, Crawford, and MAF were gone before me in 3. I think I have solid goalies on stats, but wins could be an issue. If Allen gets a bunch of games, it could be huge for me though.

I feel like I'm real bad on hits, and my PIMs are a little low, but I feel strong to very strong elsewhere, and nigh invincible in Assists. My D is a little thin, but honestly, why pick D when you have 2 extra slots for forwards? Thoughts? I was thinking of picking up Silfverberg since he was undrafted and Anaheim has so many off-days, that he could get some decent play from the bench.

Pretty happy with my team. I really like my forward group, and I have enough that I could probably move one or two to address areas where I'm not as strong. I could use more in the hits and PIMS department probably, and I have a handful of guys who will have bad +/-, but overall not too bad. With the way goalies ended up going, I'm glad I picked Halak as an expansion keeper especially since the Islanders might actually be good this year.

Area 51. You heard of it, right?





Fallen Rib
I'm happy enough. I teleconferenced in the first 20 picks or so while commuting home via my wife, then had her mop up the last third or so since I had to be in bed for work in the morning. I don't have any out of this world performers, but I'm happy enough. My shittiest forward is Yakupov with 24 points last season, so I can't complain about that. I think only 4 of my forwards had fewer than 50 points last year. D corps is a bit weak but Chara helps that, and I can only hope Pavelec doesn't gently caress me too hard.

I regret spending so much on Malkin, I told her $130 tops before I remembered he's been abducted by aliens or taken for ransom by the bone shamans or something and said 70, but it was too late and she'd already bid. =[

Below is a roster I drafted last week. I was hoping for advice on my roster depth, my top 8 forwards and 4 defensemen are pretty settled.

pre:
Rd Ovr Player                Pos
01 003 Corey Perry       RW
02 018 Anze Kopitar      C
03 023 PK Subban         D
04 038 Patrick Marleau   C/LW
05 043 Gabriel Landeskog LW
06 058 Jeff Skinner      LW/RW
07 063 Keith Yandle      D
08 078 Jeff Carter       C/RW
09 083 Braden Holtby     G
10 098 Evander Kane      LW
11 103 Mark Giordano     D
12 118 Tyson Barrie      D
13 123 Jakub Voracek     RW
14 138 Jonathan Drouin   LW
15 143 Jacob Trouba      D
16 158 Frederik Andersen G
17 163 Jake Allen        G
18 178 Mikhail Grabovski C/RW
19 183 Craig Anderson    G
1) Would you swap Anderson for Scrivens? Keep both for max flexibility in choosing easier opponents?

2) Would you keep Grabovski over Reilly Smith or Jussi Jokinen or Justin Williams or Hemsky or Nichushkin or Cammalleri? (Note that I've stashed Drouin on IR and might be able to put Skinner there too.)

3) Would you swap Trouba for any of Josi, Gardiner, or Demers?

1. I would say that you have too many goalies. You really only need two, preferably both starters. Maybe a third if you can get two goalies from a team that's platooning (Think Gibson-Andersen in Anaheim). In a standard league you're only going to be able to start two at a time at most, and with minimum start requirements I think it's a wasted roster spot to have goalies you won't use. Holtby is a definite starter so I'd keep him. Anderson is a starter but Lehner will get a lot of time. Andersen could easily lose his job to Gibson. My understanding is Jake Allen is going to start being groomed to be the Blues starter, but he's still gonna split a lot of time with Elliot I'd imagine. I'd drop one or two of them (probably Andersen and Allen) and pick up forwards or defensemen because they'll actually be a benefit to your team every week.

2. All of those guys are pretty much a wash. Second line 40-50ish point guys. Grabovski's two position eligibility is good though, and if he plays center he'll get faceoffs.

3. Josi and Gardiner yes, Demers maybe.

Tarasenko for $30 could be really good I think, I should have kept bidding on him

If you did you probably would have won. I was at half my remaining budget with the $30 bid and had like 5 guys left to buy.

I hope not, but I may be a bit late to the draft tonight. Hoping auto doesn't give me garbage.

You are hosed in the LSL as an auto, you almost never get goalies.


LSL in two hours by the way :o

I love capitalism!! DM me for the best investing advice!
To all LSL newbies you better draft a goalie by the end of the 4th round or you're probably hosed for the entire season unless you get super lucky.

Dont listen to them they're just trying to scare you. Forget about goalies.

goalies are highly overrated

Brad Marchand - Tyler Seguin - Jordan Eberle
Alex Galchenyuk - Nathan MacKinnon - Michael Frolik
Andrew Cogliano - Craig Smith - Cal Clutterbuck
Lee Stempniak - Boyd Gordon - Daniel Winnik
Magnus Paajarvi

Drew Doughty - Niklas Kronwall
Tyson Barrie - Jake Muzzin
Carl Gunnarsson - Niklas Grossmann

John Gibson
Viktor Fasth
Petr Mrazek

most of the top 6 can play at least two of lw/c/rw which is nice. kind of lost focus towards the end but I think its decent overall

My dad was visiting from out of town so we went out for dinner. Went much later than I expected, so I didn't arrive until the 17th round - just in time to draft my 2nd goalie...Karri Ramo.
