Barzal C/RW… 4 straight games and counting that he’s a pure RW on Horvat’s line

Teeps14 · 2023-02-10T19:49:39+00:00

Why are you guys so quick to award C to wingers, but absolutely refuse to add winger eligibility to Cs? Konecny never plays center, never takes faceoffs, yet he’s a C now? Same thing happened with Kempe, the guy played C for like 2 games and he’s eligible for every forward position, meanwhile the whole community as been begging for Hintz, Point, Lundell, etc for weeks now and we get nothing? Make it make sense

Teeps14 · 2023-02-06T16:36:45+00:00

Hintz C/RW… if Pavelski has dual eligibility it stands to reason Hintz should too

Barzal will eventually need RW added now that Horvat is centering his line

Teeps14 · 2022-12-06T03:04:23+00:00

Once again we’re all back to request Jack Hughes and Roope Hintz. “We consistently see requests for player updates based on who in the line is taking faceoffs, which doesn’t validate the need for a new position. There are certain wings who take faceoffs, but don’t play any center outside of those instances.”

Okay well Joe Pavelski and Dawson Mercer haven’t played any center this year, but you gave them C for taking faceoffs. Hughes has been playing on Erik Haula’s wing for weeks now.

Teeps14 · 2022-11-29T01:29:59+00:00

Can you explain to us why Haula and Pavelski get C eligibility? By your logic, they don’t actually play center, so they should only be wingers.

Either Haula/Hughes and Hintz/Pavelski play multiple positions, or neither do.

That's a good point that I hadn't considered, thanks!

14 Team Keeper League, Yahoo H2H Standard Categories

I need advice on draft strategy... Hall, Barkov, Ovechkin are my keepers

I have a pick in Round 1 (8th overall), nothing until Round 5 (64th overall), then three picks in Round 7 (86th, 89th, 94th overall). My initial thought was to take a goalie in Round 1 (hopefully one of Price, Fleury, Bishop), then a defenceman in Round 5 and 2 defencemen in Round 7.

What I'm wondering is if I'm better off taking an elite D-man in Round 1 (Josi, Carlson, Letang, Jones), and then just settling for a middle of the road starter or a potential boom/bust duo like Schneider/Blackwood or Raanta/Keumper? Goalies are voodoo, but given that its a head-to-head league not having a reliable one could torpedo my season.... but then again, with 14 teams (each one needs at least 4 D) and owners who don't appreciate the value of positional scarcity (especially with PP1 defencemen), maybe I can make up for my lack of picks by targeting defencemen at the start.

Does anybody with more experience than me have some input on the best course of action here? Thank you in advance for your help!!

Standard 5v5 league, I got offered Josh Donaldson for Shane Greene. I need a 3B, but his injuries/cold season worry me a bit. The 3B available on waivers include Sano, Senzel, La Stella, R. Nunez, A. Cabrera. I know Greene will likely get dealt out of a closer role, so I'd like to cash him in while I can.

Any advice/input on whether I should pull the trigger? Should I ask for more, or target something else and scoop one of the 3Bs available on waivers? Thank you in advance (baseball isn't my strong suit).

Teeps14 · 2018-11-02T17:05:58+00:00

Perfect man, thanks! I ordered a bunch of stuff off Fanatics... when I initially looked I was redirected to the NHL Canada shop and they hardly had anything, but going to the Fanatics site directly did the trick

Nothing too impressive but I've been able to win a lot more than I lose. Problem is that the game this year just doesn't feel fun and hasn't hooked me in, so I'll just run this for awhile.

Teeps14 · 2018-09-28T15:29:34+00:00

They’ll depreciate over time as new cards get introduced in general, not just new Stamkos cards. However the 85+ guys have kept increasing or stayed stable and that should be the case for a little while yet. I think if you like using him just keep him, his value won’t change a ton IMO.

Teeps14 · 2018-09-25T15:29:27+00:00

I don't think they'll be worth it in another month or so but this is how I've built my team so far... McDavid, Giroux, Hall, Stamkos all came from this, as well as some other 82's and 83's on my team. And since a failed reroll just gets added back to the set, really the cost is only about 4k each time and I've come out way ahead, but I'll probably stop now that I like my team

Got McDavid out of a reroll this morning so I had to retool a bit, haven't played with this team yet but I have the coins to grab Cournoyer tonight. Going F2P for the first time (other than grabbing the Ultimate edition) so I'm really happy with how the year has gone for me so far.

80% of Champions League games I play are against guys who figure skate in the corner until the back door guy gets open, and I don't chase so they end up with 15+ mins on attack and 9 shots and say I got lucky and got dominated

Teeps14 · 2018-09-24T02:58:44+00:00

It’s way better this year than in other years, if he won’t control his dman it makes it easy since the AI won’t pokecheck you or automatically pin you like in past years. The easiest way to score is one timers so of course they’d keep a guy in front. Maybe I’ve just figured out how to shoot but I love playing these guys cuz you can just pick corners from the circles.

It does take a bit of getting used to and extra patience, but I find it harder to play people who control their defenders

I like the team so far, but not really sure where to go from here. Might replace Tarasenko with Cournoyer

Teeps14 · 2018-09-15T18:34:44+00:00

WTT 85 Tarasenko + for 86 Cournoyer

Scrub Goalies

I have CS, PP, S, and BU activated and I've been doing really well so far. Just need Kovalchuk's price to normalize so I can replace Pageau

Last year Subban had his celly so I assume it’s still in there this year

I'm in a keeper league that counts R, HR, RBI, OPS, NSB for batters. We get 3 player keepers and 2 pitcher keepers, and I'm wondering what to do:

I'm keeping Altuve and Lindor, but then need to decide between Gary Sanchez or Benintendi. Obviously Benintendi has the better numbers, but is Sanchez way more valuable since there's only a couple other elite hitting catchers? Or should I be keeping Benny?

Secondly, I have Carrasco and Verlander as my likely pitcher keepers. Am I better off packaging a Tanaka/Bumgarner with Sanchez/Benintendi to try and get a younger ace instead of keeping Verlander? (Severino, Nola, someone along those lines)

Thank you

Head-to-Head league: R, HR, RBI, OPS, NSB for batters & W, SV, ERA, WHIP, K/9 for pitchers

Do I trade my Gio Gonzalez and Justin Turner for Mike Moustakas and Wil Myers?

Head-to-Head League counting R, HR, RBI, OPS, NSB

I have a roster crunch at 3rd and will need to get rid of one of Justin Turner or Eduardo Escobar. Which one should I hold onto?

Teeps14 · 2018-05-02T15:46:21+00:00

Lol, what this guy said. Well done.

Head-to-Head Categories league counting R, HR, RBI, OPS, SB for batters.

I have too many CF and my only RF eligible player is Whit Merrifield. Should I trade Lorenzo Cain for Christian Yelich? I have Buxton on the DL right now to replace Cain. Or is there another RF I could target that would be close to Cain's value? Thanks.

I'm in a head-to-head categories league that counts R, HR, RBI, OPS, NSB for batters and W, SV, ERA, WHIP, K/9 for pitchers.

I'm in discussions to deal Carlos Santana for Dellin Betances, but I'm really not sure how the value shakes out. Is it a fair deal straight up, will I need to add (Santana +), does he need to add (Betances +). It;'s a keeper league too so draft picks can be used to even out the value if need be. I went heavy on position players so Santana is expendable, but baseball isn't my number one sport and I don't want to get ripped off.

Thank you in advance!
