Oh okay, 2 seems reasonable since there's 20 teams and only 30 starters in the league, likely about 40 or so who will probably start 30+ games.

I wouldn't worry about not getting 2 starts unless you only have one goalie on your roster who is going to be starting 30+ games. You do forfeit and lose all goalie categories if you don't reach 2 games played by goalies each week. That rule is set in place because someone could have a backup that comes in of relief of the starter and stops 5 of 5 shots and you could just win the GAA and SV% stats without having to play anyone else. You'd lose saves and wins though, but still there's a good reason for that rule.

Those 30 games could be quite spread out.... back ups only play once a week most of the time..... so you are relying on a starter playing a lot.... def should have taken 2 starters...and would have if I didn't accidently pick enroth with my 4th round pick.........TRADE MILLER HAHA

So you risk losing a player and not getting the player on waivers?

Yes. If you are like everyone else in the pool, you will have some dead weight on the bench so not a big deal...

Depends you can use most of your bench if you switch daily..... So taking players not playing could hurt....

Yup, the goalie hoarder!


Can't believe you have Ovie ahead of Crosby/Malkin/Stamkos!

- Nucker101


Yeah, but you also have to take into account all of Ovechkin's hits and PIMs.

Next season...

Santorelli should be a short term resident of the 3rd line at best. We keep forgetting about Schroeder... well not me, he was one of my last bench picks last night.

- boonerbuck



Thanks for chiming in on Schroeder, he keeps getting the raw end with Canuck fans, I'd love to see him spend a year at 3LC....

There will be dead weight at any given time. We dug pretty deep in the draft. It wont be long before we are all trying to improve because there are better players as FA's and on the waiver... Every season I've come across gems deep in the season. There are always forgotten injured players, call ups, season ending injuries on your own roster etc...

I picked up PK Subban after the draft in one of my leagues last year.... this one possibly... The year before I took Crosby off the wire and got a late season run out of him which lead to 1st place.

I should stop helping you. Enough....

It may go hand in hand very well with what Nucker has been saying about Torts going to push for a more offensive 3rd line while playing Kesler to his strengths on the 2nd.

Torts hasnt had a look at Jorden yet aside for a few shifts. Thats really unfortunate. If the Canucks are not having problems scoring when JS is ready to play, its going to be tough timing as well. In would be a big relief to see him step in and contribute.
