J0e Th0rnton Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Here is a gripe. IN my work league, I have Krejci, Backstrom and Turris. 3 of the best performing centers in the league. Should be a crow right? Nope. Our work league only has 2 C positions and no utility positions and all 3 of them are pure C's. And last week, + This week and the week of Nov14-20, they all play on the same days almost every day. GRRRRRRRRRR. It cost me this weeks match by 2 SOG, 1 assist and 2 goals. I have received some silly lowball offers like Abdelkader + DOmi for Turris and Keith, but nothing substantial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J0e Th0rnton Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 That's simply disgusting.Yeah, It looked like a standard Rux offer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Yeah, It looked like a standard Rux offer Mine have looked nothing like that, though. Domi will be good, but Abdelkader is and forever will be waiver wire fodder (maybe a little better if your league scores hits). For Turris (goals, assists, FW, PPP) and Keith? Yeah, I stick with "disgusting." That's almost as bad as Henrique for Johanssen, right @yave1964? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You tried to trade me Howard and Perry for Rinne and Voracek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxpin Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 You tried to trade me Howard and Perry for Rinne and Voracek Yeah, that one was a little (lol) weak. Just checking to see if you were paying attention. Perry/Voracek is a wash (at this point, anyway), but Howard for Rinne was craziness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Crow: My team seems pretty consistent with the peripheral stats....but...Gripe: Gotta pick it up in the scoring department Near the bottom of the standings in goals and assists....faceoffs, hits, blocks, SOG are all nice and I certainly see the value in players that do all that, but the bottom line is, to win most matchups most weaks in the Bantam, you NEED to have the scoring. Hopefully, some tweaks this week will help that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My team is 3rd last in scoring with 21 goals total since the season started and middle of the pack in Assists tied for 6th-8th. 3rd last in PPP with 22!. But I am still 2nd overall in fantasy points with 638. Yave and his monster start with 4 Habs including 4 Price Shutouts being #1, JR being #3(but IMO, JR has the best team and the one that scares me most) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruxpin Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 "A little" lol I inquired about others and you named every producing player on the team as untouchable Well, I tried to trade you Turris. That was actually a pretty even trade but still would have been horrible for both of us. There is honestly nothing on your team that gets you Seguin or Benn. McJesus, maybe. Even then, no, because having them both puts me in a really good position. Stone/Turris does that for me, too. It does hamstring me for trades, though.

ruxpin Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Actually, you said no to trading any Ottawa guy too, along with your Dallas top dogs. Yeah, I did. And then I offered him in the deal for Rinne (which you thankfully turned down). Thankfully because, yeah, I don't want to break up either tandem. Obviously, the Ottawa guys don't get me what the Stars guys are producing, but it's similar just below that. One scores and 70% of the time I get an assist on it from the other. When it's on the power play I get two PPP for one goal, so it's a sweet deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it's on the power play I get two PPP for one goal, so it's a sweet deal.You offered him in a 3 player trade, as I recall, but added 2 "Meh players". taking 2 of my keepers and returning me only 1 Keeper caliber player. I just can't do trades like that while rebuilding. I came into this season with only 3 keeper caliber players and I need to end with 5 Keeper caliber players, including a goalie. So late in the season at the trade deadline, depending on how my youngsters do, ill be offering 2 or 3 players for 1 trades to whoever wants to part with a good young superstar to overpad their stats at the end. You won't gets deals on the waiver wire like you will with a guy trying to secure a keeper For instance, Rux, if you find Nyquist, Hudler, Ward, and Brouwer are not cutting the mustard late in the season(Having 35-30 point seasons), and want to add a Steen + Erikkson + Vanek(Assuming they are still scoring well at a 60 point pace) for Turris and drop some dead weight, give me a call lol All depends on how things go by the trade deadline. Maybe some of my younger players step up. Dratsaitl or Bennett might, or Larkin. I expect Vorecek will eventually start scoring. If Burns AND Josi keep scoring I might have 2 Dman keepers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pilldoc Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Crow: T. Seguin gets a hat trick last night which includes 2 PPG and nets me 18 Fantasy Points for the night. Crow #2: N. MacKinnon gets me 13 points and helps propel me to a 75 - 17 lead over Polaris. Gripe...So Jake Allen is hot and if he keeps up his play could bcome the #1 in St. Louis. I drafted him, dropped him and then reacquired him. So I started Allen over C. Anderson thining he has struggled lately and the Sens were playing the red hot Habs despite the injury to Price. So with that thinking I bench Anderson. So what happens...Allen loses 3-0 and Anderson hold the red hot Habs to 1 goal and wins in OT....Arrghhhhhh!!!!!!! (pounding my head against the wall!) Good news..so far I'm still up so hopefully losing these points won't bite me in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to have an expendable player or two who I can drop and pick up a guy playing on Sunday to bolster certain stats in my work league(Counts SOG, etc). My expendable list has gotten shorter tho and now I want to keep all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TropicalFruitGirl26 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Crow:Big lead on this weeks FHL Bantam opponent, Team Baker....and based on the schedule and players involved now through Sunday, looks like I may have this one wrapped up. Gripe:I better not expect a landslide like this against next week's opponent, Dumpster Fire. I dearly need some consistency from my guys! I hope I don't regret dropping certain previously cold players as the last couple games, some of those guys looked pretty darned good...figures...lol Oh, and addendum Gripe:Calgary...please STOP sucking....mmmK?Thanks.

J0e Th0rnton Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Can we make this the "Laugh at people" thread too? Team Dunlop picked up Carl Klingberg last week, obviously thinking it was the good Klingberg from Dallas as opposed to the 24 year old bust Klingberg Atlanta picked 6 years ago. Took a week, but he finally noticed the guy has no stats and dropped him to waivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be a tight one. The last guys who are 4-1 are you, JR and I. To the death!!!!!!!!!!!! My match against JR makes me mad. 8th week, Sharks only play 2 games so Pavelski and Hertl get handicapped, and his best players play 4 games........... But I am thinking happy thoughts My team is built to get stronger as scoring decreases and Peripheral stats become more important.
