HF Fantasy Draft Talk pt3

[Panda Bear]

Craig Smith would help the crash the net for rebounds for Ovy, in your favour.

The routine makes sense but Kreider being a key to the play passing wise is funny to me a little. Maybe I'm wrong but Kreider has always been a "I stand in front and deflect and try to stay in my office" kind of guy - so I still think that Krug's roving is going to be a catalyst for Stamkos moreso than Kreider would be. Kreider screens for Stammer/Ovy/Fiala shots though is fun.

Yeah, that'll be the primary role for Kreider: net front, which he excels at. I went out of my way to grab a left-handed net front guy for that reason, though.

If I lose to Panda, will that be the first time in HF Fantasy Draft history that the team ranked #1 in the league loses in the 1st round?

(I think Philly is better than the average WC2 team though, the Metro was very deep)

We voted by division, though. You were #1 in your division, not the league.

Yes, but I still had the lowest number of points in the league, with 32. Next lowest was 39. I know it doesn't really mean much with the divisional voting, but it would still be a pretty cool upset.

 

[ConnorMcMullet]

Maybe they aren't aligned correctly then, but that's what the spreadsheet said

HN mixed up my vote with Kent Nilsson's. Kent's votes in that spreadsheet are actually mine and vice versa.

How can you see names wtf

 

[hockeynorth]

@ConnorMcMullet Montreals points benefited from a softer division for sure, there was no league ranking

I do agree Philly would win though

 

[hockeynorth]

Round 2:

Which teams would win in a 7 game series (2021 playoffs)?

PLEASE go vote

kinda surprised at the love for dallas with that 2nd line of kempe-granlund-armia.

@DropTheGloves with the ultimate betrayal.

I don’t know what you’re talking about

yeah he has the edge at 1st line / 2nd pair. i have the edge at 2nd line / goalie. i also much prefer my bottom-6 and would take hedman-stralman over girard-ekblad (which is very good too) but i guess that is more open. I just REALLY don't see where their goals are coming from beyond the 1st line.

Personally, I prefer Girard-Ekblad, but I think it's known how high I am on Girard so I'm likely biased there. I also prefer his bottom 6 but I have it really close, I just felt like to me he stood out more as being ahead in more places, while you only really stood out on 2nd pair and goalie depending on how people feel about Elvis. Overall they're both excellent teams, and one will have to bow out here. I really liked Dallas's construction though, especially on D, and ultimately went there.

What can I say, game recognizes game (and it will be a cold day in hell before I vote for a team with Ryan Getzlaf on it)

Agreed Getz can eat a bag of farts

 

[Scholarships]

Do polls starting in semi finals or in finals

Round 2 means there are too many teams to look at

 

[hockeynorth]

I'm quite surprised both my teams are losing

 

[m0pe]

Yeah I love Avery and love Laf-Crosby with Helle in net but if that D wins this game I'm gunna die.

 

[hockeynorth]

Gonna say it

Ottawa and Anaheim are the two a tier below everyone left, Anaheims closer though

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Voters say differently tho

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

Maybe my advanced stats are just to advanced for you guys

 

[Paralyzer008]

I do sometimes wonder if the mains see the no.1 C, no.1 D and no.1 goalie in a quick skim and then vote.

Then again, ???

 

[m0pe]
