Fantasy Mock Voting (Standings Posted #178)

[Messrules11]

yeah when you can draft Francouz and Petersen while people are plugging in their 4th line winger.. Goalies are DND in the top 3 rounds

Pfft, what have they ever won? Haven’t proved jack yet.

 

[Panda Bear]

panda i love you bro

had a lol at "I had him a lot lower"

as Tom Segura would say, "tell that motherf***er I appreciate it"

Yeah? Get a life

Fair enough, I'm just saying that a guy like Seguin would've been a no for me if I was drafting based on the analytics I value. But the name of the game is to draft for votes. My team would look a lot different if I was just drafting for what I thought would be the best team like Panda did.

draft to appease other voters

draft like you plan on bumping the thread up in a month to prove how right you were

 

[Ainec]

Yeah? Get a life

Yeah, but I still proved a lot

called all the results here and the other thread

lol I probably won't be even be able to remember half my team in a couple of months.

 

[Panda Bear]

I agree now that goalies are DND in first three. I could have grabbed someone like Giroux or Dubois then waited a few rounds for Kuemper to come by. And if I had been even smarter, I would have started off Eichel-Dubois.

Same, these are a good way to pass the time and nothing more. Some people are acting like this is some sort of life accomplishment lol

 

[Ainec]

Even though I missed the playoffs, I am tempted to join another draft IF it’s similar to this (ie none of this, you gotta have a 35 year old, an NCAA guy, a Nigerian, a Latvian, and a guy that can do jumping jacks on your roster). Just build the best possible roster. I think all of us would have confidence that we’d be able to do a better job the second time around, and some guys will be busting at the chops to get some vindication.

Oh darn, Sam Bennett doesn't qualify, can't do a jumping jack.

 

[Addison Rae]

let’s just run this draft back switch up the order and have hutton join

would be fun

 

[Llamamoto]

When will we put up the polls?

 

[Joey Moss]

Which fantasy teams would win in a 7 game series this year?

 

[Gibby]

I'd be curious as to what people's reasoning behind my team and where they slotted them was. Just would like to know where they saw weak spots or what they would've tried to do differently if anyone still cares to give any insight on my mediocrity

You're team was pretty underrated imo. Connor, Kunin, and bertuzzi are all underrated. You had a strong defensive corpse and good goaltending, I think the one thing was that you lacked some starpower up front. But yeah, you probably should have gone higher.

To everyone else:

Vote team A3 avs) over B3 stars)!

I had you as a fringe playoff team. Would probably have them squeak in.

But agree with Llama about lacking star power up front. Getzlaf-Kunin as 2/3rds of your top line isn't ideal and probably the main weakness imo.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Alright shall I discuss what I think of the matchups? My team is already about to go down in round 1, so I don't have much to lose!

vs

CENTRES: Aho is the best C on either team, Seguin is also better than Winnipeg's No.1 C in Monahan, no brainer here, VEGAS

LEFT WINGS: Hoffman is the best LW on either side, but he's defensively awful. However, I'd prefer JVR to either of Parise/Johnson on WPG as well and Vegas also has Hagelin, one of the best defensive wingers in the game. Roussel is better than Jankowski but not enough, VEGAS

RIGHT WINGS: I love Radulov, even the low point total doesn't deter me from saying he's the best of the RWs. However, we've all seen how clutch Williams is in the playoffs, Panik is very good defensively as well and Bennett is good depth on the 4th line. I don't care for Bailey. Anderson/Grabner/Komarov doesn't excite me on the other side. VEGAS

DEFENSE: This one is close. Lindholm-McAvoy is an incredible shutdown pairing, while having Weber and Rielly on separate pairs gives Winnipeg lots of balance. Vegas though hits with FOUR really solid NHL D-men, and I'd have to take Trouba and Brodie over Pelech and Cernak. VEGAS

GOALIES: Binnington and Murray are both cup winners but one of those has struggled much more than the other - I trust Binnington more overall. WINNIPEG

FINAL RESULT: VEGAS IN 5
