    I hate the Flyers. But in the past year have somehow managed to get four of them through draft and trades. Loving that squad right now. Voracek with 21 points, Giroux with 20, Ghost with 15. Simmonds with 11 is a little disappointing considering the rest of the squad, but I'll take it.

    Same thing with the Islanders. I went into my points-only keeper pool focused on Islanders because I have no idea who would be playing with Tavares. Picked up Bailey (18 points), Lee (15) and Ho-Sang (sent to the minors, but I can still protect him as a rookie).

    Kopitar has been great. As has Quick.

    Dadonov as well.

    And I am very pleasantly surprised that Kris Letang has managed to play 16 straight games to start the season with no injury yet.

    So basically, most of my squad in my sig. I was counting on big bounceback seasons for many of them, and they've so far delivered.

    Writer of the weekly Top 10 column.

    12-team Keeper pool, straight points for forwards & dmen. Goalies get: 2 points per win, 3 per shutout, 1 point per assist & 1 point per shootout loss.

    League champ in 2013, 2015, 2018, 2020 and 2022.

    Top 8 forwards, 5 dmen and 2 goalies count.

    We keep 15 players (any position) plus two rookies.

    Forwards: Panarin, Ovechkin, Kopitar, Stamkos, Tuch, Rust, Marchessault, Pavelski, Miller, Bertuzzi, Stone, Kakko, Brown, Stankoven, Kovalenko
    Defence: Hedman, Fox, Matheson, Thrun, Jiricek
    Goalies: Kochetkov, Talbot, Vasilevskiy, Campbell, Schmid

    Joel Edmundson. Picked him up mostly for blocks, and he's leading the league, but 5 goals so far? Thank you very much Mr. Edmundson. Keep up the good work.

    Dustin Brown has re-emerged as a multi-cat force. Long may it last!

    Good to see Couturier finally putting up some points. We all knew he could produce more than he had shown early in his career.

    Sean Monahan for me. Normally he's a loser in every first half of the season but for whatever reason, it seems like he's finally trying this year.

    Is Kopitar not a major surprise after last year? So far only 6 guys in NHL with more points---1.25 ppg. Can he keep it up (not at this rate) but good for rest of year.
    In my points pool, G-1, A-1, I can burn 1 of 6 moves to drop Atkinson add Kopitar. Points to date for Kopitar would NOT count, just ROS. Make this move???
    SOME POOL RULES. Points only (G-1, A-1). One year Hybrid Pool. 3 round draft with balance of roster selected from any undrafted NHLer.. 19F 4 D 2 Rooks SALARIES AND POSITIONS DO NOT MATTER (other than being a F or D). NO Inter-Team Trading, Bench or Minors. Our WAIVER WIRE is ANY player in the NHL who is not Drafted in our league's 3 round draft. Each manager gets 6 ADD/DROPS (TRADES) for the year...any player on roster can be TRADED for any unDrafted F/D/R from ANY NHL team. INJURY RULE "IR". A hurt player can be replaced by another F/D from HIS NHL team and this is NOT considered a trade.. Injured player can be put back on team any time.
