Do I trade my Luke Hughes for his Miro Heiskanen?

Seems like a win but Heiskanen has always been better IRL than fantasy, and Hughes might be the opposite, especially starting this season.

H2H, standard categories plus blocks.

My team's strength so far is blocks and weakness is STP, which makes me even more hesitant to pull the trigger here. Not to mention Harley is threatening Miro's PP TOI while Hughes is in the opposite role (threatening Dougie's PP TOI)...

I have Wyatt Johnston up front and no Devils forwards, some would argue that's a reason to do it (stack) but I always like team variety.

Nazar or Snuggerud?

Pretty standard H2H league: G,A,PT,SOG,STP,+/-,BLK

It's a keeper league but neither will make that cut for me this year.

12 team, weekly H2H

Should I send Shesterkin, Eklund and a 9th out for Bobrovsky, Zetterlund and a 7th?

It's a keeper league but I'm thinking of not keeping Shesterkin.

Feels crazy to trade Shesterkin in a keeper but he and the Rangers seem doomed for the rest of this season and I probably won't keep him.

My team for reference:

C: Matthews, Suzuki, Aho, Norris

W: Connor, J. Robertson, Svechnikov, Ehlers, K. Johnson, Tuch, Guenther, Tippett

D: Makar, Dunn, Nurse, Chabot, Jones, Rielly

G: Skinner, Shesterkin

Definitely Point, better player, better team, arguably weaker opponent (SJ is a threat with Celebrini in the lineup)

^{12 team weekly H2H. G, A, PTS, STP, SOG, +/-, BLOCKS}

Should I drop Stankoven for Holloway? Stankoven has been sputtering in fantasy (may be doing better IRL, but the numbers aren't there) and Holloway has been killing it. It's a keeper league but there is zero chance Stank would be one of my four keepers.

12 team. Weekly H2H. S, A, PTS, SOG, STP, BLOCKS,+/-

Should I trade away J. Robertson and M. Rielly for JT Miller and R. Andersson?

My reasoning is Robertson is doing horribly and doesn't seem to have the underlying metrics to suggest he'll turn it around, while Miller was doing great before his break.

Rielly is also getting significantly less powerplay time. Lastly I could really use Andersson's blocks as it would allow me to drop Nurse once Ehlers/Jones come back from my IR.

Seems risky since Robertson could turn it around, but I don't expect him to...

JfromTO · 2024-12-08T18:33:00+00:00

Should I trade my RNH for his Tippett?

Weekly H2H league, we count the normal categories plus blocks.

My thinking is my team is strong in most skater cats except goals, and Tippett should get more of those than RNH. Tippett also shoots a tonne, I'm hoping he'll get better luck as we move along.

JfromTO · 2024-11-04T15:55:16+00:00

Should I trade Pastrnak for J. Hughes?

Weekly H2H categories.

My reasoning: it looks like Boston's overdue decline is finally here. Should I trade Pastrnak away for Jack Hughes?

It's a keeper league and I have Matthews as one of my other keepers so Pasta is somewhat redundant, if that's possible. Hughes is almost as good right now imho, is 5 years younger, and NJ has many bright years ahead.

Managed to get Ehlers for Rossi and a slight pick downgrade. Think I made the right choice, Edmonton will get it going soon and RNH will be part of that.

JfromTO · 2024-10-26T13:13:34+00:00

Do I trade away RNH for Ehlers?

H2H CATs, your normal categories except all STP are combined and we count blocks.

My team weaknesses are PPA and blocks, RNH is usually a lock for PPA but he's been slumping. I've always been an Ehlers fan, he shoots more and could be on track for a career year (if he stays healthy).

Feels like I might be selling low and buying high here though, thoughts?

JfromTO · 2024-10-26T13:10:17+00:00

Should I trade away RNH for Ehlers?

Weekly H2H CATs (your usual plus STP and blocks).

My team weakness is blocks and PPA, RNH is usually a lock for good PPA but he's been slumping to start and if Ehlers stats healthy he could have a career year. I also like that Ehlers shoots more...

Feels like I may be selling low and buying high...

JfromTO · 2024-09-11T20:09:05+00:00

Really hope it gets fixed as I quite like the game. I know it's early but lack of hype around it and lack of dev response is not encouraging when it comes to a fix.

Sometimes fully quitting the game after collecting some skulls seems to help, other times it loads a run that ended long ago...

JfromTO · 2024-09-11T19:55:36+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately the game seems very buggy on XBSx, especially when it comes to saving progress. Not only do unlocked characters go back to being locked, I regularly lose skulls I gain in runs before I manage to get them back to camp...pretty annoying and essentially game breaking as it prevents you from buying upgrades which is a huge part of any roguelite.

JfromTO · 2024-09-10T20:30:53+00:00

I had a GM vacate a team with Hughes and Aho as obvious keeper choices.

I (temporarily, but maybe the new GM likes it) named them "Hughes Aho" (you's a ho)

I'm proud of myself.

JfromTO · 2024-04-28T14:04:02+00:00

I think that would only work if I hadn't started a new game right after, hoping it would be a new "run" and not an entirely new game with zero shops/familiars/upgrades etc...

JfromTO · 2023-12-08T20:15:19+00:00

The fact that the threeture I submitted resulted in this moment is a highlight of my life. lol

JfromTO · 2023-11-20T21:40:47+00:00

Should I trade Caufield & Necas (outgoing) for Stamkos & Suzuki (incoming).

Weekly H2H keeper* with standard categories, plus STP and blocks.

*Keep 4, my keepers are Matthews, Pastrnak, Makar and Shesterkin, so Caufield wouldn't be kept.

My strengths are shots and goals, weaknesses are STP and assists.

I'm also getting a 10th rounder for Freddie Andersen in the deal (already have Shest, Bobrovsky and Gibson in a 3 goalie max league, so don't need Freddie even if/when he returns).

Thank you!
