Weekly Lock League

[2014olympicgold]

I'm in a weekly lock league with some Vancouver players and our playoffs start Monday April 19th.

Lets assume Vancouver's schedule does not change and they have 4 games next week.
G=3pts
A=2pts
PIM=0.3pts
PPP=1pt
SHG=2pt
W=4pt
Sv=0.2pts
GA=(-)1pt
SO=3pts

Starting lineup is 6F,4D,2G
Forwards:
Huberdeau (CLS, CLS, CAR, CAR)
Ehlers (vs TOR, vsTOR, vsTOR)
Mackinnon (@STL, @STL, @STL)
Matthews (@Van, @Wpg, @wpg, @Wpg)
Ovechkin (@NYI, @NYI)
Pacioretty (vsSJS, vsSJS, @Anh)
Miller (vsTor, vsCGY, vsOtt, vsOtt)
Pavelski (vsDet, vsDet, @Det, @Det)

Defense:
Theodore (vsSJS, vsSJS, @Anh)
Makar (@Stl, @Stl, @Stl)
Josi (vsChi, @Chi, @Chi)
Karlsson (@VGK, @VGK, vsMin)
Hughes (vsTor, vsCGY, vsOtt, vsOtt)

Goalie:
Shesterkin (@NYI, vsPhi, vsPhi, vsBuff)
Campbell (@Van, @Wpg, @Wpg, @Wpg)
Andersen (@Van, @Wpg, @Wpg, @Wpg)
Demko (vsTor, vsCgy, vsOtt, vsOtt)

Will you try Hughes over Karlsson at D, Demko over Campbell at G, and what 6 Forwards are you using?

Gah I mean I wouldn't risk the Canucks here. Not in the playoffs.

Hub Ehlers Mack Matthews Max and.... OVIE

Geez is this a 3 person league? You're stacked.

2 keeper league where I tanked last yr and kept Shesterkin and Mackinnon with extra top picks.

Drafted Kucherov and moved him+picks for Matthews to a team that was "tanking"
Moved picks for Ovi+MaxPac
Traded for Andersen+Campbell because I had Koskinen as my G2 lol.

I actually had Fiala and Kaprisov but moved them in the Ovi/Pac trade.

So you would play Ovi who plays twice next week over Pavelski who plays 4 vs Detroit? Between Vancouver and Matthews injuries though, this could just sort itself out

Gahhh. I just hate sitting Ovie. Ok fine with no SOG or Hits I'd go Pavelski.

I'd use Karlsson at D. If lineups lock on a day that you know Vancouver is playing, I'd use Demko. Toronto goalies aren't limited to just those 2, and you get a shot at 3 games, with 2 of them being good opponents. Triple Winnipeg means you might get just 2 versus Winnipeg. Demko should get the first start, and likely the bulk.

Forwards are tough, as you may have to sit MacKinnon, Miller or both ( which makes it easy, actually). That's a wait and see what shakes out.

With Avs situation with COVID right now, I think you have sit to avs players in weekly lineups. They still may get more games postponed.

[2014olympicgold]

Well, COVID happened to my team. Here's my starting lineup right now. With GP this week in brackets)
F(Start6): Matthews(3), Huberdeau(4), Ehler (2), MaxPac(3), Ovi (2), Pavelski (4)
D(Start4): Theodore (3), Josi(3), Karlsson (3), Hughes (3)
G(Start2): Shesterkin(4), Campbell (3)

BENCH:
MacKinnon (2), Miller (3), Mantha (2), Makar (2), Demko(3)

I don't think I can take a chance on starting MacKinnon and Makar over the other guys I'm starting.
