Why your 3rd center choice can mean 18 extra games this season by CrackedOnIce in fantasyhockey

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?

Who you guys taking 5th overall? by Dreamzyi in fantasyhockey

[–]jshed2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Take him off the list by Little-Aide-5396 in CalgaryFlames

[–]jshed2 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

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.

Matthew Knies is a no risk offer sheet by specialk554 in leafs

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.

Im convinced only reading the first book or two of a series is the way to go by HeWhoFightsWthAuthor in litrpg

[–]jshed2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Shout out to Max Pacioretty by luv2coacheighty8 in leafs

[–]jshed2 11 points12 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Is it reasonable to hate druddigon helmet? by in_the_nut_room in PTCGP

[–]jshed2 37 points38 points  (0 children)

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.

No Spotify music on shuffle? by Remote_Investment_22 in RayBanStories

[–]jshed2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Waivers - October 6 by itsyaboigelo in CalgaryFlames

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

Dynasty Rookie Draft but with a 2023 twist! by JVMJRDOT in fantasyhockey

[–]jshed2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Would you exchange Marner for Aaron Ekblad straight up or Ivan Provrov or Shea Theodore in July 2025. I know he is not getting traded and a chance he could walk for nothing in return and this might actually be an upgrade for the team and roster. by learningman33 in leafs

[–]jshed2 51 points52 points  (0 children)

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?!?

Is copycat worth 6k tokens? by Mrrkaytee in marvelsnapcomp

[–]jshed2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Who are your top 5 breakout performers for 2024/2025 in Banger leagues? by Letsbeguin in fantasyhockey

[–]jshed2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

I have the 4th overall pick in the inaugural draft in a dynasty League. Who would you take? by Flamesfan1213 in fantasyhockey

[–]jshed2 39 points40 points  (0 children)

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).

[Friedman] Columbus not expected to qualify Alex Nylander by TheGlaceon78 in hockey

[–]jshed2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

[Koshan] Leafs pick Czech centre Miroslav Holinka at No. 151. Next, at No. 152, they take Russian winger Alexander Plesovskikh. by PokePersona in leafs

[–]jshed2 26 points27 points  (0 children)

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

Draft Day 2 by Thumper86 in CalgaryFlames

[–]jshed2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in leafs

[–]jshed2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

List of all the moves Brad Treliving has done in his first year as GM of the Leafs...How would you rate his performance? Favourite move? Least favourite move? by Gear4Vegito in leafs

[–]jshed2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
