CAR & WPG light schedules: Heads Up

[Pengwin7]

For those that like to get the most out of NHL scheduling:

The Carolina Hurricanes only have 1 game in a 6-day stretch from:
Sat Jan 26 - Fri Jan 31.

The Winnipeg Jets only have 1 game in a 5-day stretch from:
Sat Feb 2 - Wed Feb 6.

As most teams are averaging 1 game every 2 nights... these are pretty light schedules.
Make use of your moves in daily leagues without GP restrictions.

Nice, thank you! (though it's THU Jan 31) ;-)

Good to know.

On a similar note, last year I found (or maybe made?) a list of how many games each team plays in the 3 weeks of yahoo playoffs. San Jose was the only team to play 4 games all 4 weeks, where some teams only played 8 games total. I stocked up with Boyle, Burns, Havlat, Clowe, Marleau, Pavelski, Niemi, and it played a huge role in me winning.

Does anybody know if this info can be found online somewhere?

that's weird...I would have thought you'd never see that in this shortened season

Posted this previously but here's the legwork already done:

Assuming a Monday to Sunday Schedule and a 3 week playoff The high and low teams are:

Week 1
Monday April 8th- Sunday April 14th
2 Games
Florida, New Jersey, Winnipeg
4 Games
Boston, Bufalo, Calgary, Carolina, Colorado, St. Louis, Tampa Bay

Week 2
Monday April 15th- Sunday April 21st
2 Games
Detroit, Nashville
12 teams play 3 games
16 teams play 4 games

Week 3
Monday April 22nd- Saturday April 27th
2 Games
Boston, Buffalo, Columbus, Tampa Bay
4 Games
Chicago, Detroit, Edmonton, Phoenix

Reviewing the above I don't see any team that offers a major advantage. No team has an extra game in 2 weeks and most who have 4 in week 1 correspond with 2 in week 3. Important to note is that this year the final week has a mix of games on every night so avoiding conflicts will be the key.

I found the complete week-by-week schedule here:

A tool I recently started using that I love is the "roster maximizer" at leftwinglock.com which is found here:
http://www.leftwinglock.com/roster-maximizer/ It allows you to input your known roster, roster size, and a timeframe and will then tell you which teams will give you the most number of daily starts.

Those are helpful links. THANKS (sending you some rep for your work).

I didn't know that LWL had that roster maximizer.
That's pretty sharp. They have a pretty smooth little website over there that is gaining traction. I used to use it just for goalie-starts, but looks like they've got some neat tools.
