Any hope on switching the draft to Tuesday around 8? Or is Sunday set in stone? Don't want to come off as a big baby whiner who needs his precious sleep.

Sent you a pm of the roster he's picking from and sent the invite, Jamwad. Kadri and Bob are ineligible but everyone else on the team is fair game.

Ok guys, I need help with my cap league Here is what I have so far:  So last year I was very confident and finished 2nd in my league out of ~50 people. I'm a little less confident this year. I went kind of risky. I can slot in McDavid over Monahan, and that's one of my biggest struggles right now. The other one is which goalies to go for. Goalies are really important because it's 2 points for a win and 3 extra points for a shutout. Last year I took Price and no one else in the league did, but I'm sure most people are going to go with a Price and Dubnyk duo, as it makes the most sense budget wise. I feel as though Price might not match last year's totals, but he could also easily do better. He's not a shutout guy though. But Price and Dubnyk could be dangerous, and I can easily afford both rather than Holtby and Bishop. What do you guys think? Take McDavid over Monahan? Keep Holtby and Bishop, or go with Price and Dubnyk? I need to hand in my sheet by tonight and I'm worried. I know that a lot of my success depends on most of these guys either matching last year's success, or doing better. I stayed away from Pittsburgh players because I'm stubborn and don't like taking them, but I know I'll likely be burned by Crosby and Kessel picks. I'm hoping that having a well rounded team and solid goaltending will make up for it (it did last year)

100% McDavid over Monahan. Unless McDavid is hurt he's going to outscore Monahan by 15-20 points imo. Unless you have some whacky points scoring where goals are way more important...even then I'd still probably take McDavid. I like Bishop/Holtby over Price/Dubnyk. You may lose out a little in shutouts but Bishop/Holtby are going to win more games.

It's pretty simple scoring really: 1 point per goal, 1 point per assist, 2 points goalie win, 3 bonus points for shutout. There might be a point for overtime loss, I don't remember. Literally no other fancy stats I like this type of league cause you make your team and just check up on the standings, plus the pot is big but it's winner take all and I finished second last year. I got screwed over by Voracek so I picked him this year out of spite

I think Monahan has higher upside than McDavid this year, but you've already got Gaudreau to capitalize on that. If he has a bad year, so will Monahan. I think I'd take McDavid there just to spread the risk a little. I also agree that Holbty / Bishop are a better combo than Price / Dubnyk. You've got some very aggressive point projections on that sheet though. Really, the only ones where I don't think you're listing a best case scenario (if only by ~5-10 points) are Maata and Drouin. Maybe Lindholm.

I don't really go by them that much (I don't use them at all to construct the team, only look at them after I decided on it), it's just a way to compare from year to year as I use similar spreadsheets I might change to a "points last season" model, even though either are ultimately useless. I did use last year's points to help me make decisions, and whatever I've seen in pre-season so far.

I think McDavid has higher upside than Monahan this year. I would 100% go for McDavid over Monahan. I'd even think about taking Eichel over Monahan. Yes, remember to quote this even if I'm wrong. e: To expand, McDavid's ceiling is pretty much top-10 scorer in the league this season. He plays for Edmonton, but both Crosby and Ovechkin went to teams that were arguably worse than Edmonton (well, in terms of linemates), and put up the two most exciting rookie seasons that I have ever witnessed. Even Malkin had a really good season. I understand that some people are hesitant on McDavid, but he's really close to the Crosby/Ovie/Malkin tier of rookies entering the league, so I have no issue with going all-in on him. Monahan is a good young player, and I think he'll do well this year, but I just don't think his ceiling is as high as McDavid's in a league where goals and assists are the same amount of points.

Yeah, I'm always weary of hype but I don't think I have a choice. I initially went with Monahan because at the price, everyone is going to take McDavid so I was hoping to go with the risky move of going against the grain and picking a similarly priced younger player that has at least already proven himself. The counter to that is that if everyone else takes McDavid, it's going to ultimately be a wash and it will be up to my other players to perform while he helps me keep pace.

Only a handful of 18 year olds have scored more than .77 PPG over a 40+ game season in the modern era of the NHL, which is what Monahan put up last year with what look to be fairly sustainable numbers, and that was mostly in a higher scoring era. McDavid may well so better but history isn't on his side. Crosby had one of, if not the best, 18 year old rookie seasons of all time. It is expecting a lot for McD to so the same.

Monahan wasn't 18 last year. That was his draft +2 season. I could very easily see Monahan regressing to 50-55 points this year (look at Landeskog's progression) and McDavid going off for 65+. In fact that's what I'd project for them. Monahan might never score 75 (or even 70) points in the NHL. McDavid is going to hit 100 one year.

I don't know if you already turned in your team yet, but I agree with keeping Holtby-Bishop over Price/Dubnyk. You'll get plenty of wins even if you get maybe 4 or 5 less shutouts over the year. As for McDavid vs Monahan, that's a really tough one, but I think I tend to agree with you and Jordan. Monahan is already a proven guy, and a 30 goal scorer. The Flames got much better as a team, although I don't know if that will actually impact his numbers at all. I really like McDavid too but if everyone's taking him it's, like you said, a wash. He's been pretty great in the preseason but he's still a rookie and while he's definitely as sure of a thing as you can get, we don't really know how well he'll adjust yet. I was really high on Drouin last year and bought into the hype and he didn't live up to it. McDavid is obviously a much better player and prospect, but I'm always a little wary of going with a rookie.

Yes, Monahan was older than 18, that's one reason why his performance wasn't exceptional. McDavid will be 18. If he puts up that type of performance over a full season, that will be an exceptional performance. (Skinner and MacKinnon's seasons were similarly excellent.) e: I'd take McDavid because I'm risk averse. If Monahan declines you're going to hurt with both him and Gaudreau. e2: Landeskog had a fantastic third season in the NHL, not sure what you're talking about there. He had a bad lockout year in his second season. Jordan7hm fucked around with this message at 01:25 on Oct 4, 2015 |

The Landeskog comparison being that just because a player exceeded their junior projections doesn't mean they will continue that trajectory or that their upside should be drastically reconfigured. He's a solid player in the 55-70 point range but probably won't go higher than that. The same will be true for Monahan most likely. Whereas with McDavid his upside is incredible:  I'm not sure why we're talking about McDavid in a way that the exceptional shouldn't be expected. The opposite is true. His only recent junior comparisons are Crosby and Kane. T-Bone fucked around with this message at 01:49 on Oct 4, 2015 |

One little noted fact is Ovechkin was 19 and Malkin 20 when they came into the league. So it's perhaps unfair to Mcdavid to compare him to them. I think if his adjusted scoring rate isn't at least at or higher than Patrick Kanes rookie year then that's disappointing.

If you guys had to take 2/3 of Sekera, Gardiner, and Wisniewski, which 2 would you pick? The league awards points for all the standard stuff (including +/-), and quarter-points for blocked shots and shots on goal.

Well, the draft that would never end finally ended. I'm pretty happy with my HHL team this season. I mean, since I spent half the draft sitting on my rear end, I wasn't able to stock up too hard on top-end talent, but I was hoping to pick up a few (Backstrom, for example) and get a few guys who might be good keepers next season. I think I did pretty well on that end (I do still hate all of you for running up the prices on Barkov and Terevainen). Goaltending could be a disaster, though.

I dunno. Goaltending is kind of sketch too, should have tried to get someone better to help Holtby.
