this is seriously awesome. great work! I was wondering about this, my teams in first place but I have a lot of guys on the lower end
In most H2H fantasy leagues, the playoffs will be three rounds on the following weeks:
Quarter Finals: Monday Apr 8 - Sunday Apr 14
Semi-Finals: Monday Apr 15 - Sunday Apr 21
THE Finals: Monday Apr 22 - Saturday Apr 27
In "daily-set" leagues, you can move your bench players into an active roster spot every day.
There is advantage in not losing a game due to conflicts of too many games.
So - which NHL teams play on those off-nights where you can avoid conflicts and maximize games (ESPECIALLY GOALIE STARTS)?
The following equation is used (based on information found on the weekly grids at dobberhockey.com).
SCORE PER GAME NIGHT = 16 - # NHL Games.
Therefore, if Calgary vs. Buffalo is the only game on Monday night, those teams would get a score of +15. (16 - 1). If there are 14 games on Tuesday night, those teams would get a score of +2pts. (16-14).
Quarter-Finals (BEST-to-WORST teams):
38: BUF, CGY, STL
34: BOS, COL
33: PHX
32: TB
31: CHI, NAS
30: CAR, DET
27: ANA, EDM, NYR, TOR, VAN (M/W/Sat games)
25: OTT
23: CBJ, DAL
22: NJ
19: LA, MIN, MON, NYI, PHI, PIT, SJ, WAS (T/Th/Sat games)
14: WPG
12: FLA
Semi-Finals (BEST-to-WORST teams):
38: BOS, CGY
34: CBJ, MON
32: DAL, NYR, STL
30: ANA, BUF, CAR, FLA, MIN, NJ, OTT, PHI, PIT, TOR, VAN
26: CHI, COL, EDM
22: LA, NYI, PHX, SJ, TB, WAS, WPG (T/Th/Sat games)
20: DET
18: NAS
Finals Week (BEST-to-WORST teams):
38: CHI, EDM, PHX
32: DET
25: CGY, NYI
24: WPG
23: BUF
22: COL, LA, MIN, SJ, VAN

16: CAR, DAL, FLA, MON, NAS, NJ, NYR, PHI, STL, WAS (T/Th/Sat)
15: TB

TOTALS (Unweighted) for 3-Weeks of Playoffs
BEST: 101 CGY, 95 CHI, 93 PHX, 91 EDM, BUF... 86 STL,DET,COL,BOS,VAN,TOR,ANA,CAR,OTT,NYR 75... 71 MIN,DAL,PIT,MON,TB,NJ, NYI, CBJ, PHI, NAS, LA, SJ, WPG, FLA, WAS 57: WORST
Another way to evaluate teams is to "weight" the schedules, giving preference to the final week (45%) over the semi-finals (35%) and the quarter finals (20% - some teams have a bye).
TOTALS (Weight 45%, 35%, 20%) for 3-Weeks of Playoffs:
32.40 CHI
32.15 CGY
31.60 EDM
31.40 PHX
...
28.45 BUF
27.40 DET
26.00 STL
25.80 COL
25.80 VAN
25.35 TOR
24.90 ANA
24.60 BOS
24.50 OTT
24.20 MIN
23.80 NYR
23.70 CAR
23.30 PIT
23.00 DAL
22.90 MON
22.75 NYI
22.10 NJ
21.50 PHI
21.40 LA
21.40 SJ
21.30 WPG
...
20.85 TB
20.55 CBJ
20.10 FLA
19.70 NAS
18.70 WAS
GRAND SUMMARY:
Chicago & Calgary are looking like a great teams to own for the stretch run to get a few extra games and to avoid conflicts with other teams.
Edmonton & Phoenix (other West Coast teams) also have some favourable portions to their schedule.
Stay away from NASCAR cities and their teams. That's just a good, overall general statement.
Good luck to all in their H2H planning!

Good analysis! I tackled the topic a little earlier using a slightly different approach. I only looked at the rest of this week though (I like to cross one bridge at a time).
