    I'm having trouble explaining why I'm not leading this league..

    You think I should stick with what I got?

    You're really young, especially for an 11 team league. It's the veterans that help you win these smaller leagues and you've only got a couple of those from what I can see. Too many rookies. Sexy names, sure. But these guys are young and years away from their prime. Give it another year or two and you'll get there.

    Also, your goalies are really young as well and aren't helping you at all either. Especially with your league set-up (emphasis on owning good goalies).

    My youngsters are actually not that bad for the price..
    Marner and Rantanen have good stats so far, Konecny should bounce back..
    Matheson is soso as is Skjei..
    Hellebuyck ya I get it.. but at least he costs below 1m..

    No doubt they are all great bangs for their buck right now. But you don't have too many guys in the top 20 in scoring. Especially for an 11 team league. If you want to be at the top you should have 3 or 4 players in the top 20 or 30 in points. And then another 3 or 4 in the top 50 or 60. I see Saad is 23rd. Karlson 29th. Ovy 38th...

    I'd guess you're closer to 4th or 5th place? Maybe 6th or 7th considering your goalies relatively poor seasons to-date?

    Just give it some time. Your primed for long-term success.

    I'm actually really close to 1st..

    1 good night and it's done..

    I even was 1st for a good while this season

    I was only wondering why I wasn't ahead big time.. now I understand a bit more, this is actually my 1st fantasy league where I draft my team..

    Must have some incredible parity in your league then.

    I really like your teams future.

    I've started the season in the exact same situation....too many rookies.....if you check my roster, I've made some moves recently to get proven scorers but Connor, Hertl and Puljujarvi with Bergeron's so so season are killing me right now.....I'm checking for a deal including Connor Strome and Hertl to get some more proven players for the second half of the season.....

    You're not in 1st because regardless of what you think you don't have the best team. Also, your goaltending is WEAK.

    (I'm unable to reply with quote or edit my comments)

    it's team #2 in my sig

    The guy leading actually, for me, has a very average team, and benefiting from lots of players that are on a good run, but which I think won't last

    His team consists of: McD, Panarin, Pastrnak, Simmonds, Drouin, Sheary, Staal, JVR, Niederreiter, Dzingel, Arvidsson, Malkin,
    Severson, Fowler, Martinez, Wiercioch, Markov, Giordano,
    Rask, Mason

    I feel my defense is much much better than his, with Karlsson, Josi and Byf all due for good runs soon
    My goalies are pretty much equal to his..
    His attack benefits a lot from the recent success of Staal, Arvidsson, Niederreitter, but I feel that my Forsberg, Konecny, TyJo should wake up pretty soon..

    There's still half a season left, so I can't panic too much, but I really appreciate your feedback as I'm learning quite a bit

    would be interested in seeing the rosters of the other top couple teams. the op's roster doesn't jump out to me as something that is dominant...

    I've made a move that will probably pay off: traded Ovi, Schwartz and Skjei for Bergeron (he's going to finish strong), Marchand and Ekholm

    Josi 2 points tonight, let's hope it continues like that

    So I went through a pretty significant trading spree and managed to address a few of my issues. I still wanted to keep a few youngsters that I feel will perform well next year, but sacrificed others to get immediate help.

    I also used Dobber's guide to help me identify the best players from here till the end of the season.

    Initial lineup:
    F: Marner, Konecny, TyJo, Saad, Fabbri, Forsberg, Rantanen, Vatrano, B.Schenn, J.Schwartz, Little, Ovi
    D: Karlsson, Josi, Provorov, Matheson, Byf, Skjei
    G: Allen, Hellebuyck - Farm: Huberdeau, Connor, Point, Pul, Meier, Pulock Here's the new lineup (Team 2 in sig) new players are in bold

    F: Marner, Konecny, Bailey, Benn, Fabbri, O'Reilly, Rantanen, C.Brown, B.Schenn, M.Stone, Little, D.Ryan
    D: Karlsson, Josi, Provorov, Gardiner, Weber, Faulk
    G: Allen, Andersen - Farm: Hellboy
    , Vatrano, Point, Maroon, Meier, Pulock

    What do you think?
