Hey guys, hope everyone had a great year !!

I joined a new Dynasty that will start in couple days/weeks. Setup is fairly easy

30 roster including farm, 12F 6D 2G

Goal and passes are 1P

For keepers 2W 1OTL or shootouts 1Bonus for shutout.
Cap league with aav 81.5M


Im drafting 17 and 24th !!
I have some ideas of strategies just felt like chatting!!

Who do you think will slip to 17-24 and who to avoid


I thought about going for D and Keep, as soon as first and 2nd round

Shesty and vasi were def an option for my first pick

If indeed one of Shesterkin or Vasi are available with your first pick I would jump on that. If that isn't the case, then I'm sitting back and waiting for the inevitable goalie run to happen and grabbing the best option I can, hail Mary on that.

I fully agree with JJ, I'm drafting to win. Take the best player available with all of your picks and do not be afraid to draft old guys who are clearly done in the early to middle rounds, like Crosby, Ovi, Stamkos, P Kane, Josi, Hedman, just to name a few. Let the other guys draft the prospects most of which will not contribute to their teams for 2 or 3 years or perhaps never.

Your league scoring is dead simple and there are countless guides and lists that should be fairly accurate in a points only format. The real challenge here is finding and drafting those players that return the most bang for the cap hit they bring. Look for those good contracts. Draft the best available stars early but then look for those guys with the best cap value, the best bang for your buck. Guys still on their ECL's that are potential break out candidates and players on the last year of their affordable contracts are a good place to start. A CAP league changes everything, so you need to do your homework up front prior to your draft. Good Luck!

Off the top of my head:

McDavid
Matthews
Draisaitl
MacKinnon
Makar
Fox
Vasilevsky
Shesterkin
Kaprizov
Marner

After this top 10 it gets murky. I have no idea who you should target at 17 and 24. Maybe you start projecting a little such as:

Q Hughes
J Hughes
Barkov
Huberdeau
Kucherov
Josi
Hedman
Eichel
Panarin
Gaudreau

We currently at 12ish pick i left the remaining on your list
