How do you like my strategy? Play-off all points money league

[StuntMan12]

Pick any 13 players
Must be 3 defense
No goalies

Any ideas would help a lot. Want to hear others opinions on this. I'm spending what $108 but I want the title lol.

I like entries #1 & #2.
I don't think Detroit is strong enough to get through two rounds.
And I even think they are a BIG underdog to win the 1st round.
They've actually NEVER won more than a round with Jimmy Howard as their main G... but he did end as their hot G... so they'll roll with him unless then lose first two games.

Personally, I think TB is strong... I think NYI could upset FLA, but I'd pick FLA.
TB without Stamkos will be a team few consider... but I really believe they have the depth to win two rounds - and beat anybody that isn't Washington in an East Final.

For me, if you are going 2-East, 2-West (a good plan), you should make the 3rd/4th pools as one with TB guys, one with NYI guys.

But it's overall a good set-up.

Thanks for the response. Ill take all this into consideration. I have until tonight to make my final teams.

I have the same four teams pegged to make the Semis. +1 to this list. Though I'd try to find a way to swap out Muzzin for Keith.

lol didnt think of that. good idea.

[StuntMan12]

only one other person put in teams with Florida players in em. I put in 4 lol. WSH and FLA conference final I chose...so IF i'm right I think I win fairly easily.

I don't dislike your strategy of putting in 4 teams but as long as there are 27 or-so entries (owning 10% or more of the entries)...

You are betting big on Washington (which is not crazy), but I would add a bit more diversity to the Eastern conference choices (i.e. Penguins players: CROSBY!!).

Best of luck SM; hopefully Washington goes far and you can triple your initial investment!

Thanks! I had a hard time seeing any other team coming out of the East. Not many managers went with Chicago either.
