we have options for sure

I like flanking casey with either sheary and okposo or berglund and reinhart

- homiedclown


Now that we have 2 legit LWs,
I think Berglund slots in as our defensive 3C
Maybe Sobatka could handle 3C duties if Berglund plays wing in the top6,
but then we’d have Sheary playing a defensive role...
and that seems like a bad idea to me

I think our top6 is pretty much a lock with 6 guys unless another move is made

C- Eichel, Mittelstadt
LW- Skinner, Sheary
RW- Reinhart, Okposo

I’m guessing they’ll try out a variety of combos with the lines to see what gels

Skinner/Sheary-Eichel-ERod/Pommer
S/S-Mitts-Samsonite
Smith/Nylander-Berglund-Okposo
Wilson-Girgs-Pommer/Baptiste

Get your wings

I think the chances of Pommer in the top6 are slim
He had that hot start last year, but was pretty mediocre after that

E Rod is interesting though
Before we got Skinner, i was thinking he could get a shot on LW in the top6
Wouldn’t be shocking if he moved ahead of Okposo at some point
Probably not to start though

I think e-rod's ceiling is 3rd line center, with spot duty on the 2nd and penalty kills. And there's nothing wrong with that.

If he can stay healthy, he should have a long NHL career ahead of him. Plenty of versatility at LW/C/RW. Can fill in anywhere, really.

He's smallish though, and pretty skinny. He needs to show he can play a full season.

Definitely has the speed for the modern NHL, and he has enough skill to hang

Been mock drafting from the 7 spot, which I know I got in one of my leagues. Not liking this spot. Draft RB in round one and not 100% in love with receivers left in rd 2. Receiver round one and hate rb’s rd 2. Nothing comes easy after that.

15-20 goals from the bottom-6 and spot duty in the top 6 due to injury would be great.

His ability to draw penalties because of his speed is underrated

Olives are fine.

Very well could be right
But if Okposo struggles,
or someone gets hurt,
i could see him get a shot in the top6

damn your league needs friends


when we have a league where only 8 actually show up with money

we go
2 qb
2 rb
2 wr
1 te
4 flex (rb, wr, te)

that way you reward the depth on the roster


team looks good though

I think he can move up & down the lineup too
Versatility in that way is also a bonus

Haha we've been playing the same way since we were in 2nd grade where my dad would calculate points on a piece of paper through a newspaper every week for us. No joke. Can't switch up now. Took us four years to add one flex, because one bumhole(my best friend) refused to change. It's gotten to the point where it's almost impressive.[url]
