Rate my terribly unbalanced team

[skrollins]

League categories: G, A, +/-, PPG, PPA, SHP, GWG, SOG. Goalie categories: W, GAA, SV% SO.

Two starters at each forward position, 4 d men, 2 starting goalies, 5 bench spots.

C: Matthews, Pavelski (C/RW), E. Staal, Backlund
LW: Van Riemsdyk, Hoffman, Marchessault (C/LW)
RW: Zuccarello, Mantha (LW/RW), Eaves (IR+, may drop before season.)
D: Ristolainen, Fowler, Streit, DeAngelo, Chabot (picked up as injury replacement for Eaves).
G: Jones, Darling, Howard (ugggggghhhh)

I completely misplayed the defense market in the draft - a lot of the top d-men went a few rounds earlier than I expected, and I decided it was best to mostly draft forwards the rest of the way, knowing this would leave me with only 2 decent d-men. Was hoping for 3 15-20 PPP/heavy shot guys.

I also knowingly avoided drafting goalies early because, as you can see, there are 8 offensive categories and only 4 goalie categories.

Thinking about shopping a LW (maybe JVR) for a d-man. Have an offer where I get Landeskog and Gostisbehere for JVR and DeAngelo but I think I'm getting ripped off in it.

Thoughts?

Sorry for the late reply. Kinda weak on RW and on D. I would move maybe Pavelski or JVR for a stud RW or D.

What about guys like Spurgeon and Goligoski - solid 35 point d-men. Are they gone too? If so, then you're in for tough sledding.

Thinking about offering JVR and a lesser d-man for Hamilton and Maroon. Would this be a good deal for my team? I'm a little suspicious of Maroon's s% jumping so much last year, plus he only plays sometimes with McDavid and not so much on the PP.

I also have an offer where I get Gostisbehere and Landeskog for JVR and DeAngelo, but I don't see Gostisbehere as quite in the tier I need...

If you can get the Hamilton deal I think that would be good. Can see Hamilton having a big season since he finished so strong without getting much pp time.

How many teams in your league? Yout D is very weak and I don't like your goalies. Probably like Darling the best of the three.

[Figu]

Don't like your goalies at all.

D easier to fix via trades. I'd shop E. Staal (can't see him repeating) and JVR for a D
