Just drafted how did I do

[bbgarnett]

12 team Yahoo H2H standard scoring and settings.

Centers

Giroux C/RW

Thorton

Bergeron

Left wing

Landeskog

Steen C/LW

Saad LW/RW

Right wing

Hossa

Mackinnon C/RW

Pomminville

Defense

Doughty

Hedman

McDonagh

Shattenkirk

Burnss RW/D

Goalies

Rask

Hiller


I feel that I may be a little center heavy and weaker at goalie even though I have Rask I mean I think Hiller should be fine but not sure what anyone else thinks.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

[Dobber]

I like this team, well done. Do you need a third goalie? Dress two or one? Not comfortable with Hiller - W is a category after all

C, C, LW, LW, RW, RW, D, D, D, D, G, G, BN, BN, BN, BN, IR

Goals (G), Assists (A), Plus/Minus (+/-), Penalty Minutes (PIM), Powerplay Points (PPP), Shots on Goal (SOG)

Wins (W), Goals Against Average (GAA), Save Percentage (SV%), Shutouts (SHO)

So we dress 2 but we only need 3 goalie appearances a week

Also with Burns I guess he's being slotted back to Defense so how much do you think that will affect his numbers.

very great draft, team is really young too which is awesome. Mackinnon, Landeskog, Rask, and Hedman are players you can build a team around!

Hard to build around young guys in a 1 year league

Yeah those guys would definitely be great to build a team around and it would be nice if this were a keeper league team.

You sir are correct, but yeah everything I have heard about Mackinnon is that he's looked bigger, stronger and even more explosive than before so hopefully that's true.

[RizzeeDizzee]

On paper your team looks to be solidly in the top half of the league, with a shot to be in the running to win if things work out. I'm concerned about your goal scoring as you don't really have many sniper types. Another thing I'd advise you to do is trade Shattenkirk around the all start break, as he's tanked in the second half for several years now.

Gotta love the youth movement in 1 year leagues. lol

To the OP, your team looks good. I would try to nab a better #2 than Hiller. Him playing in CGY isn't the most confidence inspiring.

[bbgarnett]

Well there is another guy in my league who has Lehtonen Rinne and Schneider and so maybe I could try to get Schneider from him.

His team

Centers

Hall C/LW, Marleau C/LW, Stepan

LW Semin LW/RW Van Riemsdyk , Dubinsky C/LW

RW Yakupov, Gaborik, Jagr

D Green, Wisniewski, Fowler, Faulk (CAR)

And then the goalies I listed above

So do you think Schneider is a good goalie to target I could offer him Hiller and someone else for his Schneider and someone else. So maybe like Hiller and Burns for Schneider and Gaborik or something. What do you guy's think.

Yes, I think Schneider is a fantastic target. I honestly believe that right now will be the cheapest you will be able to acquire him for quite some time. With Lehtonen and Rinne, he might think that trading Schneider for Hiller+ is good (with his goaltending it may work out well for both of you).

I don't think anyone is going to give up Schneider for Hiller unfortunately.
Are there any other goalies on the waiver wire right now?
You can pull a Pengwin and draft 6 backups maybe!

[bbgarnett]

Goalies on the market are

Talbot

Jones

Stalock

Johnson

Lack

Montoya

Greiss

Kuemper

Bryz

Giguere

Tokarski

Brodeur

Peters

Zatkoff

Ramo

Nabokov

Hutton

So doesn't look like much

As for Trading for Schneider for Hiller+ do you think asking for Schneider and Gaborik for Hiller and Burns is too much and that I should just ask for Schneider for Burns and Hiller. Also too after looking at it again I really probably wouldn't need another RW and maybe I could switch out Gaborik and do like Fowler or something.

Beauty team, A+.
I think you'll be top three in a 12-team league with this group.
Forwards are very strong.
Defense is strong.
Goalies are very good.

In H2H, you've got to win with skater quality, because goalies fluctuate week-to-week.

The one thing you've got to look out for long-term is Boston's schedule vs. your league schedule.
Last year, Boston got so far ahead of the league that they rested Rask every other game in the last week or two.
That can be a disaster in H2H championship week - to only get one or two starts from your #1 goalie.
Just keep that in the back of your mind.

Great work though!
Thumbs up.

Thank you for the kind words and heads up about watching Rask and Bostons schedule in the latter half of the season.
