    Default Players You Have Compeltely Given Up On.

    Does anyone else have a short list of players that they will not touch in fantasy even if the cost is nothing? I’ve been burned by three players in particular and will never draft these guys again.

    Petr Mrazek has burnt me multiple times and he was first to make this list for me last year. I’d rather stream backups and play matchups than ever own him again.

    Nino Neiderreiter has screwed me for the last time as well. He burnt me last year and I foolishly drafted him again this year hoping he would turn it around but same old story with him. Dropped him today in my main keeper and I’m never looking back.

    Finally, Jake Allen. While I still own him in one of my leagues it is only because there are no better options available in free agency and I need the goalie starts. If he turns it around and garners any sort of trade value, he will be on the first boat out of my fantasy team.

    Who else has a no touch list?

    Parise after drafting him two years ago. He's a walking back injury. Making me look like a moron with his start though. Still wouldn't touch him.

    Maybe unconsciously a few more than I care to admit. I'll steer clear of them 99% of the time anyways. But I'm also a bit of a numbers guy, so if the right situation presents itself, I'm not above my pride for that 1% of the time.

    OEL! His +/- and down season last year cost me a spot in the Dobber Expert league this season.

    I'm probably on the Jake Allen boat after this year too.
    Without me, it's only "aweso".

    I might wait another week or two and then start buying Allen shares.

    Last year my two goalies were Jake Allen and Cam Talbot... what a nightmare that was. I'm a Flames fan too so the fact that Talbot was also garbage was especially painful. Swore I wasn't drafting him again this year... and I didn't, but I did end up with Allen again somehow. If he repeats last season I'm done with him.

    I'm angry at Laine this year as picked Laine #6...and momentarily crying/annoyed as I look at Auston/MacKinnon lighting it up (was considering both at 6 if Laine didn't fall to me)....of course that's early season "UGHS HATE YOU" haha

    Otherwise player I'm fearful of are the Bennetts, James Neal (who I feel is still over drafted because of his god mode years with Malkin) and the annual "whose Crosby's next winger/sleeper hope"

    Have that many people really completely given up on Dylan Strome?
