IanRees Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 (edited) Had a guy drop out of my other keeper league and need a replacement. Same keeper rules, $30 buy in, draft is Sunday at 7pst. Edited October 6, 2016 by ianmonsta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoshotthefrog Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Did anyone else have to change their draft strategy mid-draft due to the lack of players with dual eligibility? I know I left several players on the board because I already had that position filled up. I know I passed on Toews and Getzlaf at one point even though they were clearly the best players left out there, but since I already had Crosby, Eichel and MacKinnon I didn't want to take a player that would ultimately sit on my bench.

Definitely did that. I kept 2 centres, which meant that I actively avoided them for a long time - in fact, I took 2 goalies and a D with my first three picks in part because I had a feeling that there would be more centres later on. I think what it meant was that there were some later round steals for Centres, and there will be some star Cs still available as free agents later on. I think this will create some interesting challenges for setting rosters - but we're all in the same boat, so a bit of new learning needed.

IanRees Posted October 6, 2016 Author Share Posted October 6, 2016 My strategy went out the window pretty much in the 2nd round when kyle took Karlson and PK back 2 back. I was gonna try and go real heavy with D and fill out my forwards with hopeful sleepers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechrisformat Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 That was me, not Kyle... but, yea. My strategy was fucked too. There are still some real solid C's on the waiver wire too. Wonder if they will add more eligibility during the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Avatar Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I had a strategy and it all went to shit when I accidentally drafted Backstrom instead of a goalie. Each pick I wanted after I did this was taken a few spots before and ugh! I feel more prepared than last year though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylekrische Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I drafted too many C's because I wanted best player available a lot. Not thrilled with my team but its okay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to - had really inconsistent goaltending last year and I feel like I can run with two goalies if both Quick and Price stay healthy. I feel bad for Mike last year - when Price went down, changes the whole dynamic. Fingers crossed he stays healthy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed he stays healthy... that suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked, and thats the problem with a 12-team league with each team having 2 active goalie spots.. went from Price/Fluery in 2014 to starting 2015 with Price and Howard and ending last season with Talbot, Greiss and Anderson... woof.

whoshotthefrog Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 If anyone is interested Lundqvist, Andersson, and possibly Bob are available if anyone needs a goalie. Crosby and most of my forwards are available as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Ian with the major upset! I got so close to also upsetting Max.. fucking goaltending killed me! They had Condon as projected starter on Saturday and Sunday and he played in neither game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidney Crosley Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Damn @kylekrische, thought you had me. Never seen so much back and forth in a head to head. Looks like a lot of close matches. Congrats Ian on the upset. I'm pretty glad to not have to face Chris. He's had my number each time I've faced him over the past two seasons.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 I was really hoping to get Max.. I went through 5 goalies last week... for 1 win. had I not picked up Berburbe i'd have won, FML. (would have had a lower GAA/SV% without his 8.56/.692 bloat..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was way closer than I wanted it to be, and that was an absolute roller coaster through the entire week. After the first 2 days and you picking up Berube I thought that this was going to be a walk in the park, but boy was I wrong. Your 3 SH goals were just unreal, don't think I have ever gotten more than 1 per week. And then Oshie getting the hattrick on Sunday.. And to end it all, I almost had a heart attack, seeing how I picked up Darling because he has been great in his last 5 starts and I figured that COL would be an easy win for the Hawks so I could secure all goalie cats. After he let in 2 goals in the first period, I totally panicked and had to stay up until 3AM to watch the game because I thought that that was it. Picking him up almost cost me. Kudos to Ian for beating Chris, seeing how the regular season went I was 100% that he was going to steamroll each and everyone of us. I would write an angry letter to Dubnyk if I were you, Chris. Guy really let you down the last 2 weeks.. thechrisformat 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thechrisformat Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 If I could've gotten just 1 win from Dubnyk last week, I advance (on tie-breakers, I believe). Top 3 goalie for the whole season and then shits the bed when I needed him most. Oh well, no 3-peat for me... at least Talbot could be a decent keeper for next year though. Good luck to those of you left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm actually not even sure how I won cause we were tied 7-7 when i went to sleep last night, must of been a stat correction on a assist or something.
