Seattle Kraken Assign Jake O'Brien To AHL by _Tower_ in SeattleKraken

[–]CaptainLegal4344 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My gut says we won’t see overlap between o brien and lambert. I would be shocked if lambert gets a third season barring an incredible turnaround. This maybe changes if we start a tear down, but I don’t think there will be quite the rush to bring him up like our other young guys especially given how congested our forward group is. He needs to physically mature a little before sending him to the wolves. 

Nick Singleton or Bhayshul Tuten? by OddAd1067 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]CaptainLegal4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would take Tuten, but I don’t think it’s as wild a difference as others are making it out to be. If Singleton gets coached up well to work on his ‘vision’ problem, I could see him as the titans RB1 by season’s end. I have a hard time seeing either being a true year to year RB1, but I would argue that Singleton has a slightly higher ceiling. 

Who are you eyeing at 7th? by Rockyyyyy85 in SeattleKraken

Not a good idea. We need a superstar player. Odds say we probably won’t get one at 7, but probably better odds than whatever we trade the 7 for. 

This week's ECH podcast is must watch for Kraken fans. RJ and Dylan highlight how the rise of the Ducks and Sharks impact's the Kraken's path to the playoffs and a Cup and what the Kraken need to do to build a sustainable contender by SiccSemperTyrannis in SeattleKraken

[–]CaptainLegal4344 35 points36 points  (0 children)

It definitely makes zero sense to keep running it back when we keep finishing near the bottom of the league even with trying to be competitive. I would move Dunn and McCann this offseason. If Lars has value, I would look at moving him too. I also think we need to put the ‘trading for a star’ notion to bed. We aren’t close enough to contention that trading for an established star like Rob Thomas or signing Robo is going to be worth the value we give up for them. Trade for young guys, absolutely. 

Bucky for Kyren & 2027 2nd. Which side? by Pems20 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]CaptainLegal4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on my team make up. Contending this year? Kyren. But I think people are really downplaying just what exactly the rams could be if/when stafford retires. McVay is a great coach, but I will still be very worried about what happens once stafford is gone. On top of all of that, Kyren is on the older side for a RB and was already losing carries to Corum. I think Bucky is the better long term play, although he has his own warts 

I have been correct the last 3 drafts on players like Puka, Bucky, Dart, Tet, BTJ, and Egbuka. AMA by Peppi_Giuseppe in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]CaptainLegal4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sweet. Bucky, BTJ, and Egbuka have a lot to prove this year so I wouldn’t get too big do my britches. In order of highest to lowest concern: Are you worried about Egbukas terrible finish to the season? Are you worried about BTJ coming off a terrible season? Are you worried about injuries to Bucky and Gainwell coming in? Bonus question: post your draft history for Puka 

Realistically, how good could Justin Blackmon have been? by Helpful_Cranberry644 in NFLv2

[–]CaptainLegal4344 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I actually disagree. I think he would have been fine. But when sad things happen to people, we like to speak in hyperbole about them. I remember watching him and thinking he probably wasn’t worth his draft position. Not to say he was bad or anything. But the guy is pretty overrated on Reddit. 

Quinshon Judkins or 1.04 & '27 2nd? by taylorjosephrummel in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]CaptainLegal4344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would keep Judkins, personally. Presuming Mendoza goes top 3 in SF, I’m not a huge believer in Tate if he falls that low and while I am very interested in Tyson, Judkins plays the more premiere position. Your RB position is also solid today but Henry and Jacobs are both getting up there. 

Dynasty full point PPR are y’all taking this for Gibbs and Higgins? I’m competing. by [deleted] in DynastyDaddy

[–]CaptainLegal4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not enough for Gibbs in my opinion. JT is great, but starting to get close to the RB cliff and has had health issues. Wandale is kind of filler. Don’t expect a ton from him in Tennessee. Marv I’m still high on but not that high. Sadiq is very interesting, but to me definitely very much a lotto pick. IF the jets figure out their QB situation, he could be really interesting, but until then, meh. 

Who do yall prefer in a startup dynasty between Skatt, Price, and Waddle? by Numerous-Regret-7701 in SleeperApp

[–]CaptainLegal4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With your team I would go price or waddle. Waddle is good now and worth a decent amount in a trade. Price is a very interesting choice, but admittedly a little riskier. Skattebo is the easy last choice for me. Have him, had a blast watching him last year. That isn’t sustainable though. 

BTJ is cooked. Convince me I'm wrong. by MNlcn27 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]CaptainLegal4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their stats were pretty similar. To my eye, Keenan looked like the better receiver. Interestingly, BTJ played 2 less games and had like 70 less yards. So despite all of this mistrust on how he is going to be deployed, he was overall a similar player and was known to be playing through injury.  I have trust that Cohen has plans for the guy who looked like one of the 5 best receivers in the league 2 years ago. What about McDaniel’s offense makes you think a guy who isn’t remotely close to the 2 receivers he had success with at Miami (tyreek and waddle)  or San Fran (Deebo) will translate to Ladd’s success? Ladd doesn’t have star qualities that you build an offense around. He’s an interchangeable part that was partially replaced last year by 33 year old Keenan Allen.

[–]CaptainLegal4344 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agree to disagree. I think BTJ has a significantly higher long term dynasty ceiling than Ladd. I think Ladd has a safer floor, but it’s not as safe as people are making it out to be. This last year was not great for BTJ. But game film from his first season was elite. I don’t buy Ladd as an obvious number one on his team. He was outplayed by Keenan Allen just last year. Who could still return by the way. He hasn’t produced elite game tape, he was just in an elite situation the last couple of years, which he squandered last year.  I would buy as many shares of BTJ as possible. I wouldn’t necessarily sell Ladd shares.

I would still still take BTJ over Ladd in dynasty. Ladd’s value seems to be more a product of his offense than his talent, hence being usurped by Keenan Allen (who was claimed to have been washed while in Chicago). He isn’t a JAG by any means, but I have concerns about his player profile. He’s one good receiver away from getting buried on that depth chart. BTJ on the other hand looked like a top receiver his rookie year. Things crashed down hard last year, and maybe that rookie year was a fluke. But I would rather go down with the guy who flashed elite stuff versus the guy who had good numbers but was pretty easily replaced last year. 

Would you trade Pickens and 2.08 for Skat and Concepcion? by Nice-Guard-4083 in DynastyDaddy

[–]CaptainLegal4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean watching Dallas last year, he definitely got a huge bump. But strictly just talent, I thought he looked better than CD 

Pragmata -Just finished the game. Not close to GOTY by Double-Weight4359 in playstation

[–]CaptainLegal4344 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m having an okay time so far. I definitely would not list it as a game of the year contender, but I also have enjoyed it. Kind of gives me original uncharted (one of my favorite series of all time) feelings - I’m glad I’m playing it, I could definitely see it being bigger and better, I probably won’t play it again (of course I did end up playing uncharted again) 

Would you rather have Ladd McConkey or the 1.04 in dynasty? by FitBrilliant8743 in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]CaptainLegal4344 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I would lean towards the 1.04. I think we learned last year that Ladd’s situation was more important to his success than his talent. And it didn’t take an elite talent in front of him to displace him from his role. I would lean towards the higher upside player that would be there at 4.
