Count me in for HHL and LSL, though I don't feel like I'm going to be as competitive as I used to be I really stopped keeping up with the eastern conference :smith:



Also to all LSL newbies, seriously draft a goalie within the first 3 picks, if not 2. It's insanely important.

Daniel Sedin - 39 -> 47
Kyle Okposo - 2 -> 3
Antoine Roussel - 17 -> 20
Dustin Byfuglien - 58 -> 70


gently caress I can't figure out the 4th one because I really want buff, but I can't tell if he's 70 dollars good so I'm going to say big buff is pending.



Does anyone have an opinion on a 70 dollar Byfuglien?? I know we're against each other but help me please!

I think you could probably get Buff back in the auction for less than 70. Most people aren't going to go that high for a defenseman.

They are now that I announced it!!!

fancy stats posted:

On the other hand, Byfuglien is one of the best defensemen with our scoring. It might be a bit of an overpay, but you're probably not going to find another player with that much value relative to their position at that price point.

D/RW is there any chance he plays wing this year?

Just do what I did the first year when I won. Show up, spend 90% of your cap on Stamkos and Malkin, and then go afk until it's down to 1 dollar bids.

That actually worked?

My HHL team this week has 26 points and is -19. That takes a special dedication to not giving a gently caress about defense.

e: final count, 29 points and -21. I'm happy with beating the 1st place team 9-3 though.

Yeah yeahhhh.


Turns out my team relies purely on hits, PIM, and goaltending. Which oddly is working for me until this week when Miller poo poo the bed hard.

I felt like my guy is more likely to be better over the course of the season though, I didn't want to buy high on a guy who has like a third of his points in two games.

Way I saw it is that he'll be good when playoffs in HHL happen, but I don't think he's going to get it going anytime soon. I understand though.

The wording is dumb I should probably rewrite that. Essentially you can have a player for 3 seasons. The season in which you pick them up + 2.


e: I don't even remember how we've been doing trades. I think the years on the previous team count but if that's wrong feel free to correct me.

Years previous did we had the seguin debacle over it. If the years didn't then you could perpetually trade 5 dollar players.

I'm looking at this from the context of an outsider but isn't it just trading future cash instead of future draft picks? Seems pretty straightforward.

No Because


Jamwad Hilder posted:

Player should still cost $1. You're essentially paying for the player on the bargain contract and banking on it being worth more to your team than an extra $50 at the draft.

Then what about the other way where someone buys a 150 dollar crosby then his value skyrockets during the trading part cause you can buy a 1 dollar crosby or hell even a 50 dollar crosby
