HC-IR Fantasy Keeper League - Discussion Thread [Part V]

[SixthSens]

31.5 - 31


Good match-up.

 

[Nuckles]

Ugh, apparently Letang is returning to the lineup tonight. It would have been nice if a Pittsburgh media person could have found that out a couple of days ago.

That's going to be you after the week is done. I'm going to eat honeycomb cereal out of the Rathje Cup.

Did the rules on keeping prospects change? I seem to remember some discussion about it but can't remember completely.

We haven't made any decisions or announcements yet.

Oh, hey IR

Hey Bingo. Do I have to trade you a defenseman for a 4th round pick again?

It is an annual tradition.

 

[SixthSens]

As it stands right now, my probable keepers are going to cost me only 22.2M


Stamkos, Turris, and Hertl are all pretty much untouchable (Hamilton and Sekera are likely to be kept as well). Carter, Eller and others are available to an extent. Homegrown prospects (Zibanejad, Ceci, Toffoli, and Puempel are unlikely to be moved unless for an upgrade) Would like either a goalie or a prospect/pick package.

Best way to win a championship? Have negative scoring days 2/3 days.

How to win the Rathje Cup:

1. Be Nuckles.
2. Don't be HC.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

I hope we tie since their is no tiebreaker for a match-up.

I followed neither of these steps to win the Rathje Cup

And look where you ended up this season.

 

[Dr Pepper]

...What the hell is that?

 

[flyguy]

And look where you ended up this season.

Yet, I have a Rathje cup to my name and you don't.

God, it'd be awful if you won with all the gloating you already do.

Will trade Mike Smith AND a keeper forward or picks/prospects for an elite goaltender.

As the winner of the 2nd season, I support this message.

 

[IslesRock4]

Now looking to trade Ben Bishop for a very good prospect or a 1st round entry pick. Will consider other offers.

 

[Dr Pepper]

If I wasn't already set with Lehtonen in net, I'd entertain that offer.

No sense keeping two goalies though...if that's even possible.

 

[flyguy]

Goalie values are very hard to gauge in this league. I mean, they very important, don't get me wrong. I wouldn't have won that first year without Quick playing insane.

But because goalies are so up and down year to year, they're a box of chocolates.

There is some sense. What if your #1 is out for the year or something? This year, I've had the ability to flip between Price/Bishop depending on who isn't injured or who has more games in each week. I'm in a position where I'm highly considering keeping both.

It's really not worth it to keep both. If you lose a goalie for the year, there is always going to be a suitable one available because of cap reasons. Hiller was available for half the year because of his higher cap hit. And he was having a top 15 year as far as goalies go.
