    Default Starting to take VGK seriously

    I don't know about anyone else, but the top 5 free agents in my league this morning were all Vegas players. Top 3 were Karlsson, smith, and perron who were 3,5, and 7 in all of fantasy respectively. I've spent the last few weeks watching karlsson and could never find the confidence to pick one but I've finally bit the bullet and take a chance on streaming smith. These guys seem to be for real!

    If this is a yahoo pool the vegas players stats are basically doubled compared to their actual stats...therefor their ranking is currently way higher then it "really" is.

    well regardless of their ranking their stats lines are actually really good. TOI is high, they're raking points and SOG's are right up there. I just think that it's fair to say that their way more legit than most people might have predicted going into the season!

    I gotta agree. I really don't wanna believe the hype but they keep proving me wrong. I don't know if it's refs playing favoritism, Mafioso, or players getting drunk before games but they keep winning and putting up points. At the very least I'm going to ride the wave.

    Edit: Nevermind... apparently Yahoo doubled all of Vegas players stats accidentally... ��

    I have Marchessault on my roster and noticed this morning that he had 23 points according to Yahoo. That would have made him my highest scoring skater lol.

    I didn't know all the Vegas players were doubled as well.

    Think the key here is that Vegas we’re going to have a first and second line as well as a top PP so there was always going to be value slmewhere depending on how deep your league is etc
    Experience is the teacher of all things.
