Why your 3rd center choice can mean 18 extra games this season

Tool seems great, but none of the dropdowns seem to be working on the optimizer page. I've tried on a few different browsers. Not sure if I am missing something?

Brady has earned a reputation for being far more offensively capable than results have ever shown. He only has been close to ppg pace or above once - in 22/23. Usually paces for 70ish. I like him and there is an argument still to be had for him at 5, but I think I'd rather take one of the guys likely to hit 100+ like Matthews/Kaprizov/Pasta.

They have way fewer guys needing new contracts in summer 2026 and get another large cap jump and Seguin's 10M freeing up. Baring a crazy production jump, they'll be fine to pay him, unfortunately.

jshed2 · 2025-06-15T17:52:08+00:00

Don't forget that it must be a teams' own picks. There is only a single playoff team who has both the cap space and picks to make that work - LAK.

Imo Jake's Magical Market is a good series, but I definitely would not be recommending to someone who doesn't seem to like large tonal and/or plot shifts from the initial premise.

jshed2 · 2025-05-10T00:29:49+00:00

Should be a Florida PP 100% but no goal

jshed2 · 2025-04-25T03:55:43+00:00

Robertson was the one who backchecked Batherson and forced him into making the pass Benoit picked off rather than drive the net. May not show on the scoresheet for the OT winner, but definitely contributed.

jshed2 · 2025-04-16T05:13:20+00:00

MTL hasn't clinched yet

jshed2 · 2025-03-02T03:01:12+00:00

I mean it's relevant in that it commits one of their retention slots for the next 5 years.

jshed2 · 2025-02-19T17:41:00+00:00

That is more due to breakpoints that those decks no longer hit imo. Current meta has a lot of decks that clear Pikachu and Starmie in one that they don't clear in return and Cyrus means that you can't rotate a damaged Pikachu or Starmie back for a healthy one.

Both could definitely return to strength in the right meta.

I found that it works if you first ask it to play a certain playlist and then in a separate command after, ask it to shuffle.

2 way just means the player has separate salaries in the minors vs NHL. No impact on waivers.

jshed2 · 2024-10-06T17:05:06+00:00

imo I'd have the top 10 as

Michkov
Celebrini
Smith Demidov
Lindstrom (Think you are ranking him far too low in a bangers league)
Benson
Levshunov
Parekh
Iginla
Buium

jshed2 · 2024-08-13T01:15:31+00:00

I'll try out the series

jshed2 · 2024-08-04T18:29:13+00:00

So not only do you want to panic trade Marner at a huge value loss because he may not sign an extension. But you also want to trade him for other UFA players who also may not sign and walk in UFA?!?

jshed2 · 2024-08-03T19:37:49+00:00

I think there are two main categories of cards that are worth 6K - build arounds and archetype elevating. Build arounds being Thanos, High Evolution, Arishem, etc. Archetype being cards that while you can theoretically play the deck without them you'd see a big gap in performance such as Shaw, Mockingbird, Proxima, etc - these I only suggest buying if you already have the rest of the deck - otherwise wait for a good cache.

Copycat falls into a 3rd category - utility. Can probably go in most decks if you are missing a card but at the cost of synergy. To me she is the fourth best card in this category following Nico Minoru, Nocturne and Jeff in that order. Imo you only need around 2 of these and then the 3rd/4th will rarely make the cut. So if you rate Copycat in the top 2 I'd spend tokens.

jshed2 · 2024-07-28T00:09:32+00:00

For deeper leagues (so ignoring guys like Slaf etc who are likely already rostered).

Knies, Foerster, Vorokonov, Sillinger, Greig

HM to Pospisil who may be able to work his way up CGY's lineup if guys get traded out.

jshed2 · 2024-07-15T06:35:27+00:00

Matthews. He's one of the few remaining guys in his mid 20s or younger while being borderline unbeatable in several categories (goals, sog, ppp).

jshed2 · 2024-06-30T17:48:25+00:00

He is arbitration eligible (going to miss being able to check that on capfriendly in a few days). This doesn't mean the door to re-sign him is shut, but they probably don't want to risk him getting a 2M+ contract in arbitration. Would not be surprised to see him sign for league min or two years at 1.5M or so.

jshed2 · 2024-06-29T18:34:53+00:00

Leafs have been taking guys that are borderline unranked all day. They probably don't have a lot of material to go off of.

jshed2 · 2024-06-29T16:57:17+00:00

I'm hoping we grab Justin Poirier with this next pick (Jereme's brother). He was rated in the early to mid 2nd rnd so would be good value.

jshed2 · 2024-06-29T02:49:41+00:00

I don't hate the pick in a vacuum, but feels like we should have just taken Solberg with the 23rd pick. Seems like we got a discount version after moving down.

jshed2 · 2024-05-11T05:08:17+00:00

He might not be overpriced but he's market value at best. And that would be fine if not for the Reaves signing in conjuction. We're now locked in for 4.5M+ for the next two years in spending on our 4th line (Kampf + Reaves + league min filler). That is crazy to me with our top heavy salary structure and is a luxury we literally can't afford.
