I usually avoid taking rookies, especially high profile ones, because people take them way too soon. But what is everyone's thoughts on Dahlin this year? I am finding it difficult to project for him. He's a better prospect than Doughty and Hedman, but they weren't superstars in their rookie year. e: Just went to H-R and pulled all the rookie teen defensemen who have scored 30 or more points. The active ones include Johnson (33), Del Zotto (37), Ekblad (39), Fowler (40), Werenski (47), and Myers (48). All of these guys were 1st round picks, but none of them were as highly regarded as Dahlin. Basically, the odds are against Dahlin, but we also haven't seen a defensive prospect of his caliber in...I am not sure. A while. Is there a bigger disappointment than Myers? Forgot his rookie season. Twin Cinema fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Sep 15, 2018 |

I can't remember which players I have that are eligible. A list would be handy.

My friend and I are having the same issue. We are trying to decide on who we want as our last keeper.

It's tough having three of your keepers become ineligible. I am choosing Granlund $2 -> $3 Reinhart $3 -> $4 Kuznetsov $67 -> $80 Quick $35 -> $42 I am not getting Kuz as a discount or anything, but I like him.

Am I crazy for taking Matthews over Kucherov in a pool that only counts points? I am unsure how much of my hometown bias is coming out.

Goals and assists count the same. You are right. Smart money is on Kucherov. He's coming off two incredible seasons, and a 100-point season, even for someone like Matthews, is a difficult feat in the modern NHL. I think Matthews will take the next step this season (hell, he was a PPG player last year in 62 games), but will it be enough to beat Kucherov? The fact that I asked this question means that I am not convinced. This is a league where you pick one player out of five, and have to keep them for the entire season. edit: I am also trying to decide between Laine/Tavares/Stamkos/Tarasenko/Pastranak in the same league. I am leaning towards Stamkos, but I feel like I could pick any one of these guys and be happy. Twin Cinema fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Sep 29, 2018 |

Jordan7hm posted:Eeli Tolvanen or Sam Steel? I think this question is a roll of the die, and you seem to have already answered it yourself, but will Steel be NHL-ready next season? I have no clue. Koopa Kid posted:Yeah Kucherov is a safe bet to hit 90+ and while Matthews will certainly be capable he’s not there yet. My thought process is that Stamkos and Tavares have the highest ceilings, but Pasta does have a good chance to outperform them. I am still high on Tarasenko putting up a 40-40 season, but considering his history, it feels like too risky to bet on considering the other players. I am also not sure if Laine's assist totals will grow enough this year. I am going to go Tavares, mostly because I want to cheer for him.

1. (14) Jack Eichel C $96 2. (22) Filip Forsberg LW $65 3. (24) Carey Price G $52 4. (45) Dougie Hamilton D $40 5. (73) Matt Dumba D $29 6. (85) Tyson Barrie D $16 7. (87) Eric Staal C $24 8.

(244) Mikael Granlund (K) C,RW $3 I went with a different strategy this year. Usually I wait until the last minute to get defense. This year, I tried to target more high-end guys. I also ended up with Price, only because I thought he went for a good price. I slightly overpaid for Eichel, but I also think that if he stays healthy, that he's going to be in the conversation as one of the league's best. I am happy with this team. Last year I ended up with Perry for $60, which I even knew was an overpay at that time, so I am happy that I avoided those mistakes.

Roto also means that 3/4 of teams will check out before the season is over.

I lost to a guy this week in the HHL who doesn't even own goalies. I only won the goalie categories :\

If he wins the league, no one is drafting goalies next year.

I also can't believe how wrong I was about MacKinnon. Even though he has all the talent in the world, I didn't think he'd be able to replicate last season. Don't even get me started on Rantanen.

Love reading waiver wire pick-up articles, checking the HHL, and realize the players have been owned for weeks.

It is cutthroat, but that's also the point. It forces you to make some hard decisions. I have only ever changed the rules midseason once. After a discussion with the league, after a particularly bad start to the baseball season for injuries, we moved it to 3.

My HHL team is garbage. Love being in last. Worse? I am actually trying.

So, as I mentioned before, I am in last place in the HHL. I decided to do a deeper dive to see what, exactly, is the issue. I am one of the top producers in points in the league, but my team lacks grit. I am near the bottom in PIM, hits, and blocks. My goalies have also been mediocre. At this point, I think the only way I get better is through trading. Other than Reinhart, Virtanen and Pearson (with the latter two being hit and block producers), no one on my team is droppable. I am stuck!

Oh good, a week where my Quick/Price/Halak trio is doing well, and my offense dries up. I am in last place. My team is done for the year. I am open to making deals for the future.

In the HHL, how long can you keep a player? Is it for 3 or 4 seasons? Lets say I drafted someone before the 16-17 season, kept him before 17-18, is this my last year of keeping him or do I get one more season?

I am also looking towards next year and trying to figure out my keeper situation. As of right now, my list includes Carter Hart, Rakell, Reinhart, Ehlers, and Granlund. I am not particularly jazzed about the latter three, because while they get points, they don't do much else in this league. I'd be happy to part with Eichel for someone who would be a better keeper than these three.

My understanding of the keeper rules in HHL is that since I picked up Ehlers off of waivers this year, his keeper time gets reset and he costs $2 next year. Is that still true?

I hope those recent adds in HHL don’t mean you can use them as cheap keepers next season.

I am pretty sure I am going to finish 3rd in one of my hockey pools. The kind where you pick one player out of five. Times like this I look over my team and congratulate myself for choosing the right players at top, and wonder what the hell was I thinking about the players at the bottom.
