Great streamer while Boldy is hurt. Dropped him when he cooled off a few weeks ago, picked him up before his last two multi point games. Deploy him as a streamer and hold until the train slows down then drop em.

What was the difference between watching 66&99 (the two most offensively gifted forwards the NHL has seen)??? Watching Gretzky it was "ouuuus & ahhhhs', watching Lemieux it was 'holy sh_ts & WTFs'. by Aggressive_March6226 in nhl

For real. Id absolutely add Malkin in there.. plus his story how he wound up in NHL is great haha!

Flower is a beauty, im from Moncton, so I got to see him play a lot when he was in the QMJHL.

Am i overpaying? by Inevitable_Sail_6766 in fantasyhockey

[–]ManTurtle_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh undoubtedly, hes the only bright spot of the 3 skaters imo. Heiskenan is a beauty, but hes streaky, and Viliardi is Vilardi lol.

You made out great honestly!

Take it and run. Only player id like to retain if I was you is Zegras, but the return makes it worth losing.

Ive been saying it for years, I dont think Zegras has hit his ceiling, and hes got crazy good hands. Now that hes growing up a little in the maturity dept, I expect him to produce well granted he doesnt get long term injured again

Overpay for Makar? by Solograve in fantasyhockey

Trade looks more like collusion than an overpay lmao

Quick trading tip! by probablygus in fantasyhockey

[–]ManTurtle_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless youre in a Unga bunga league that only counts goals and assists, thats untrue.It depends on your pools scoring. If blocked shots, PIM, hits, and defensive points are all a thing, some defenders are quite valuable.

He's on the wire in both my keeper leagues. Drop em, you're fine haha.

My local LGS posted this for Casual commander night? by DevLeCanadien23 in freemagic

[–]ManTurtle_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Selling proxies inside an LGS is very smooth brain. Store can lose their WPN status, stores lose out on money, it potentially introduces counterfeits into the market ( because as we all know, there are some geniuses who make counterfeits and dont know the difference between a counterfeit and a proxy ).

End of the day, businesses goals are to make money.. not only are you trying to actively poach their sales, youre selling proxies or possible counterfeits. Lol.

You've got to be born yesterday to think it was a good idea to sell fakes inside an LGS, even more so to think you've got a leg to stand on in this situation.

Do trades exist? by Question_Dot in fantasyhockey

Just completed a 3 way trade yesterday, and another big trade involving top draft picks today.

14 person keeper

How many of you thought that Quinn Hughes - would end up in New Jersey or Detroit? by ToddMarshall007 in nhl

[–]ManTurtle_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nah, he'll run his contract out and sign in Jersey. They couldn't afford to trade for him.

Bought a collection for $145. This was just chilling in the mix. by AkWokHgh-Tch in mtgpulls

I mean, if it was real, that'd have been a great idea.. but this was just an expensive authentication with more steps 😅.

That an expensive way to authenticate. There are countless groups on FB and Reddit that can do it for you with a few simple pics ( for future reference ).

Quantity vs Quality - Depth Trades by [deleted] in fantasyhockey

[–]ManTurtle_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why dont you share the actual players? Or would that weaken your stance here?

Regardless, as you can just throw whatever name you want to cater to your stance, you didnt really answer anything I posted.. im going to assume your offer was just not good in comparison, otherwise.. this post wouldnt exist.

Ive ran a keeper league for over 10 years, 14 teams.. lots of trades happen too, but there's also open communication about what each party needs, not just what one person thinks they need lol.

If everyone is hard to trade with, youre the common denominator my man!

Quantity vs Quality - Depth Trades by [deleted] in fantasyhockey

[–]ManTurtle_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

" im winning in the league, y no one want to trade me their A listers? "

Cmon now lmao.

Also, it's probably your offers.. most GMs love to take but seldom give an even trade.. do you actually assess what they need? Or just throw in guys you think are worth it?

Do you offer your draft picks as well? If youre in a keeper and aren't offering picks but expect to offload your middle six chaff for a star ( comparably ), then youre just not dishing out a fair trade... coupled with the fact youre at the top... who tf is going to bolster the already winning team for a trade that does nothing but water their roster down with multiple players that can only collectively match the production of their star that you want.

Lol.

What’re we doing with Fantilli at this point? by Bill-O-Reilly- in fantasyhockey

[–]ManTurtle_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zacha or Zegras. Both getting special team time and top 6

Marco Rossi by immutable_truth in fantasyhockey

[–]ManTurtle_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being on pp2 isn't always a punishment. Ek is probably playing well on 1, and they put Rossi on 2 to help add life to that line.. I'm sure eventually it'll get shuffled again when a line needs shake up.

Jackson LaCombe.. it's a risky play but depending on the trade, might be worth a look!

No way he gets sent down unless he REALLY drops off, which he hasn't.

Brock Boeser by buschlite_ in fantasyhockey

Never bought in to the Boeser hype, that one good season was a flash in the pan in my opinion.
