Not big on Gourde at all. You have 1 Gk? If you could pick up Hart maybe"? Surprised hes available. I prefer Tuch to Gourde by a bit. Otherwise, looks pretty good.
League in Sig - keepers are McDavid and Kucherov (so that always helps). 11 round draft with 16 teams. Won it all last season (Playoffs and Reg Season) and was without my 1st and 5th rounders (had some deeper picks to help make up for the front end loss):
2 - D. Larkin
3 - A. Kopitar
4. R. O'Reilly
6. M. Dumba
7. J. Morrissey
7. D. Nurse
8. N. Gusev
8. J. Binnington
8. R. Ristolainen
8. M. Granlund
9. Y. Gourde
Overall I'm pretty happy with it. Defense will be my weakest position but there was a run on them early and then mid-way through. I couldn't pass up the forwards available with my 2,3,4, picks. I'm banking a little too hard on Dumba and Morrissey working out this season. Same with Nurse (probably a reach with my cats and if he's not on PP1 he will likely be dropped a few weeks into the season). Ristolainen was the best backup choice remaining on D, in case Nurse doesn't pan out.
Thoughts, feedback, and criticism, are all welcome.

Appreciate it. Tampa plays three games in week one and with point not signed someone has to take his spot on pp1. It may not be him but given who else was available I took the chance I view him as very droppable early if he's not getting the deployment I like to see.

Pick up Carter Hart. I actually like your team. I am not to high on Kopitar. I feel his +/- will be horrendous. I actually think your defense has potential.

Thanks for the feedback. I like Hart too but not more than Binnington at this stage. I can only start one goalie per week and there are reasonable replacements if Binnington goes down and someone else grabs Hart. Plus/minus isn't a category and I'm hoping to get 70+ points out of Kopitar with big minutes and PP time. I think he can do it but we'll see I suppose.

Yea, I iike them a lot more without it.
And if you can only start 1 GK per week I guess I get it. All though would be nice to have him handy if anything happened to Binnington, or just for certain matchup weeks. But makes sense.
Point isn't supposed to be ready by start of season? I haven't been following that actually as I don't own him anywhere so wasn't sure. But yea, Gourde would be the first I would drop. I would even consider dropping him for Tuch early as I think Tuch will be one of the first players picked up by some other team. But at least you have a plan.

I like Hart more than Binny for this year, I think Stl tails off this year.
I Also like Schmaltz over Granlund.
I like the Gourde pick also.
I also like the Morrissey pick but HATE your other 2 dmen. With your cats those 2 will not contribute
With McDavid coming off a knee injury I would look to move him for maybe someone like a Barkov&Letang or Josi for him, just my opinion though.
The other thing about Gourde. If Point isn’t there or drops off, wouldn’t Stamkos or Cirelli take his place before Gourde? That’s what I’d suspect at least. I wouldn’t sleep on Cirelli. From what I’ve seen I think he’s a lot more talented than Gourde.

I would swap Gourde for Schmaltz. Everything else looks solid to me.

I'll counter on Gourde. I like his talent and outlook. I would hold onto him for a while.

EB what are your thoughts on nashvilles top power play unit? Does Granlund have a chance?

I like the Gourde play for week 1. If it works, great, if not, you pivot.
Pretty solid overall. I do think I'd want 2 goalies for a bit more safety in options, but you know the league.
