Probably 2. I can't see Holtby playing either B2B especially since the Presidents Trophy will likely be wrapped up soon. I'd guess the Leafs and the Panthers for Grubauer.

I thought for sure that last Holtby game and then Tarvares blowing out his quad was going to do me in.

Overall I thought the point scoring was pretty good (obviously!)....I wouldnt mind having more bench spots (but if we had more teams that might not be a good idea)

Definitely having 10 teams the year before is preferable and adding bench slots is something I was going back and forth when setting up the league.

In previous years always seemed like goalie numbers always swung things and this time around it was still important but you could still grind out some wins even if when your goalies crapped the bed.

Quick going down early really sank my squad as I got crushed the first month or so and never could really recover points wise. Kinda liked how there was some value for non-top line players that could really help...the center who could win faceoffs, chip in with some points and good for a few PMs and hits a game had some decent value.

Congrats,strung, on winning the HFBoards NHL Fantasy League. Those that participated any thoughts on the added point scoring metrics this time around.

I liked the new metrics. My only suggestion would be to not have the rosters lock for each day at midnight. The fact that by the time I learned that, say, Darling was filling in for Crawford, it was too late to pick him up or find some other replacement was really frustrating. I like being able to stream goalies, but that was almost impossible with the midnight roster lock.

Agreed re:roster like that bit me many of time especially early in the seasons with injuries and what not. I couple of weeks I didn't make the minimum required goalie starts until mid season where I just made myself pay more attention, heh. I'll see what options there are for next year.

Who should I pick for my pool keeper guys...Johansen or Burakovsky? (who will get more points) Any chance Burakovsky finish with more points than Johansen in the 2 or 3 next years?

Why Kuznetsov's production was lower this season guys?! Do you think he will bounce back next season?

He is a soft perimeter player that will never be the guy that gets it done. Still a few fancy plays will be enough to keep a lot of people happy.

This is exhibit A and B of people that will be happy with some fancy plays and states.

We sure do love our soft perimeter players. Kuznetsov is a lot closer to being the problem then the solution.

This is exhibit A of someone just disliking a player and throwing reason out the window for it because Feels > Reals.

yeah why can't he be less perimeter and not produce but be gritty n shieeez dude beags lmao.

Can't have any guys like Kane or Kessel on our team, those never win anything. Need more Winniks and Tom Wilsons skating into each other putting up a lucky point every few dozen games. That's what wins playoff series.

We get it, you haven't watch a second of major league hockey since 1999 and think it's possible to Dale Hunter your way to a cup, even when it wasn't possible then.
