That's pretty cool, maybe I'll play next year. It does suck doing the day to day thing

Yeah I like it because the funnest part about fantasy hockey is the draft so it’s like a mini draft every week. It’s fun to see the difference in picks between you and you’re opponent.

And you pick your team every week based on the salary cap and their actually cap hits.

Yeah. That’s a no go. I’d never do it.

Nice. I'm Shadynasty. Off to a much better start this year. 16th overall, 1st in my division. Up 261 to 246.

When I first started it takes a few weeks to figure it out and if you drop like 4-5 games... you’re almost guaranteed to miss the playoffs. I got onto a streak of not setting my lineup because of the new job and at one point I was like (frank) it lol

Yeah, when I did it last year it took me like three weeks to figure out and then I got better with each week. I don't think I lost after the fourth week last year, but it didn't matter.

I'm struggling to start next week's line up. I like to start early then change as the week goes on.

It is usually my monday morning agenda at work.

I was undefeated through like 15 weeks a few seasons ago.

I had one rough year where I had a strong division.

I like to think about my lineup throughout the week, at least in the beginning of the season when things aren't quite as established.

That’s definitely the hardest part. When you don’t know what ELCs are gonna be worth using.

Yup. There are less bargains this year at forward this year. Defense there's plenty, but like you said, hard to tell which ones are worth it so far.

I know Guerin just signed Spurgeon to a long-term contract, but he really needs to start considering a rebuild.

Kessel just notched his first ...nice play starting at his blue line.. loads of speed and a rocket wrister snipe.

I won't be posting about any more of his goals this season unless they're goal of the year material haha.

Read a DK article where he interviewed JR and it sounds like all three call-ups will initially be sent back as the Pens get healthy with no current intentions of making a move to free up a spot for one of them.

That being said, I’m of the opinion a lot can change in a month and if Lafferty doesn’t lose steam the mindset may change.

- Rinosaur

Technically, I don't think they even have room for Marino, so something needs to change if they're going to keep Lafferty up if they get healthy.

Guerin is in a tough spot. The owner doesn't think they need to rebuild. There's a rumor that Hextall was the front runner until he told them in the interview they needed to tear it down.

Billy G is going to regret taking that job. Even if the owner agrees to tear it down, it will be a tough rebuild. Gonna take several years.

Yeah, he scored two goals, but they were on the PP so they don’t count.

Darren Helm.
Carl Hagelin.
Andrew Cogliano.
Michael Grabner.

- Feds91Stammer

3 of them are 32 and Hags is 31. I can easily see Tanev having a better and healthier year than all of them. I'm on the Tanev bandwagon.

Well in my opinion that is the perfect scenario for a new GM. Who wants to walk into a job and win with someone else’s team?

If you have more active players than spots available does it place the "best" players in the lineup?

Galchenyuk was bitten by a spider, that's why his recover has been so slow
