    Are those the 2 best teams? The goaltending seems pretty bad on both of them for a 7 team league.

    In a 7 team league... I think you have another year to wait! Sorry!

    Biggest concern is Hellebuyck... need to make sure he is getting a decent percentage of starts to beat other teams in league.

    It's close, with some nice development you could place first out of them. There are some question marks though, especially with the goalies as others said.

    I never just surrender. I've seen teams reel off a seemingly insurmountable lead, only to suffer some key injuries in late January and get passed by a (on paper) weaker team.

    You have a good team, and while it may not be quite as strong on paper as the other two, you should still be within striking distance should injuries beset your opponents.
    18 Team Full Keeper. Total points.

    Start 10 F, 3 D, 1 UTIL, 1 G

    3 Points: SHO, 2 Points: G, PPA, SHG, SHA, W, 1 Point: A, PPG, GWG, .25 Points: BLK, .1 Points: FOW, SOG, SV, .15 Points: HIT, -.05 Points: FOL, -.15 Points: GA

    Forwards: Backstrom, Barre-Boulet, Beauvillier, Caufield, Dickinson, Donato, Donskoi, Gourde, Greenway, Horvat, Kase, Keller, Kuznetsov, MacKinnon, Marchessault, J. T. Miller, Sikura, Tarasenko, Zegras

    Defense: Barrie, Brannstrom, Cholowski, Honka, Matheson, Pulock, Shattenkirk

    Goal: Dubnyk, Jarry, Markstrom, Merzlikins

    Don't forget it's a salary cap league

    My feeling is that team 1 wins because his D is the best (each point is worth 1.5)

    The thing with Hellebuyck is that he costs only 950k

    Thanks for the encouragement! I changed all but 4 players, so I got caught with a few left overs which, if I decide not to go for the win this year, I would trade for prospects that have a good chance of making me win next year..

    For example: I could drop Pageau and Versteeg and pick up Dubois and A.Nylander

    Drop Yandle (6.4m!!) to get Honka or Pulock or Montour or Theodore, etc..
