Way early but I like Guenther, Berniers, Eklund, Power and Raty is still an option.
Hi,
I'm tanking this year and wanted to know the short list of the top 4 players that are a tier above the rest of the crop? I'm seeing guys like Power, Clarke, Raty mentioned. Positions don't matter, i would want to draft the best available. I will definitely have a top 4 pick as we do a draft lottery for the 4 teams that didn't make the playoffs.
Our league cats are: G, A, SOG, FOW, PPP, H, BLKS, PIMS, W, SV%, GAA, SO
Cheers
For the record, I'm only tanking because our league fee this year is 1/4 the price due to the shortened season and covid. I could care less about winning a title for this asterisk of a season

This is my ranking right now. Positions are probably going to change tho s more players start to play.
* Wallstedt should be higher, but I already have a goalie
31 TEAMS keep all multi-cat (lot of them) dynasty
Offensive stats : Goals, Assist , PPP, PPTOI, SOG...
Defensive stats : PKTOI, BLKS, TakeAway, Giveaway...
(basically best NHL player)
Not the best draft year to be tanking fantasy wise...2022 on the other hand is the one to tank for.
This year is all defense pretty much; that wallstedt kid could be a very good goalie but offense is few and far between. Covid is making this draft a mess

First off, if you're tanking for this year, you're probably tanking for a few years -- unless your idea of tanking is taking on injured players (which might be a smart plan). But the players being listed above aren't helping you next season more than likely, and your roster looks weak for a 10-teamer (sorry to be blunt).
I'd be less worried about next year's draft class, and more concerned with nabbing the young stars closer to NHL action -- or those already in the NHL. Trying to get a slow starting Dahlin+ for Hedman, seeing if you can move Perron for some youth. I'd establish your core group and be willing to move anyone else for younger, higher upside players. Parayko, Hintz, Pageau, Tarasenko if he comes back healthy, Chychrun... they'd all be on the block IMO....especially in a keep 16.
