Fantrax $$$ Leagues

[dooley89]

I don't see any difference from last year, are the roto leagues all full?

[dooley89]

Mikey can you post the entire draft from your league for us please?

[dooley89]

Also Mikey do you really see Eichel out performing Kane/Kucherov/Tank assuming Sid and McDavid are your #1 and #2 F?

[dooley89]

One note for everyone is PIT (Crosby) only plays 2 games in the fantrax championship week.
Everyone else is 3-4GP during all playoff weeks

BUMP
I draft tonight

[dooley89]

Drafted my team last night, i've gone heavy D/G every year in these fantrax leagues and have finished top 3 each time.
My forwards look kind of rough but I think I should be okay flexing in guys with 4 game weeks.

Plan. D/D/D/G/G/F by round 6 (Burns being my first pick at #6)

F: Eichel, E.Kane, Arvidsson, Kadri, Kreider, Maroon, Shipachyov, Toffoli, Trocheck
D: Burns, OEL, Pietrangelo, Parayko
G: Rask, Darling, Mrazek

6th. Burns
19th. Eichel (Schiefele and Karlsson were staring at me)
30th. Rask (Big Dogs were gone, went purely on the dobber projections for Rask)
43rd. Darling (Same as above, almost took Forsberg but stuck to the plan to fill out my D/G)
54th. OEL (VERY happy I got him here)
67th. Arvidsson (auto-picked from queue, had Ehlers and Giroux lined up - looking back maybe not a huge upgrade, not too upset about Arvidsson tbh)
78th. Pietrangelo (Okay still got my 3rd D by round 7)
91st. Kadri (BPA imo)
102nd. E.Kane (BPA imo)
115th. Parayko (Need a bench D)
126th. Kreider (BPA imo)
139th. Toffoli (Mason was taken 138th off my queue, damn)
150th. Trocheck (Markstrom/Mrazek/Reimer are still available, maybe one will be left in a few rounds as a backup).
163rd. Mrazek (Markstrom and Reimer went since my last pick)
174th. Maroon (Almost took Zetterberg but I did that last year and never played him, maybe Maroon gets on a good stride).
187th. Shipachyov (Last pick what the hell right?)

Highest ranked FA forward imo:
Stepan / Neal / Lindholm / Larkin / Zibanejad / Backlund / Krejci


Hey P7, what do you think??

Yes I do. I think Kane and Kucherov both take a slight step back. Eichel is a huge volume shooter and that is very important in these leagues. Tarasenko just doesn't have the same upside IMO.
