HF Fantasy Draft Talk pt3

[Panda Bear]

Corrected to Nick Paul.

 

[Gecklund]

I don’t think Caggiula is eligible @OB5 since he doesn’t have a contract for next year.

He played last season though so he’s fine. Same reason Hoffman is eligible.

 

[Llamamoto]

My D-groups for Anaheim and Carolina:



Jaccob Slavin (5.300) - Colton Parayko (5.500)
Darnell Nurse (5.600) - Jason Demers (4.500)
Nikita Zadorov (3.200) - Jordan Oesterle (1.400)



Shea Theodore (5.200) - Jared Spurgeon (7.575)
Adam Larsson (4.167) - Brandon Carlo (2.850)
Victor Mete (0.735) - Matt Benning (1.000)

Which group is better?

Which group is better?

BUF since they have Ferraro

ANA is better to me but both have huge question marks. That whole CAR bottom 4 have big question marks and that bottom pairing for ANA is real bad. I don’t like Larsson-Carlo as a pair either.

This is who I wanted to take

Mete - Benning's a very solid bottom pair imo. Larsson - Carlo is kind of a one-dimensional pairing, but they'll be very good in their own end. (Theodore - Spurgeon is obviously a great pairing)

Carolina's top pair is pretty insane. Nurse - Demers might not be the greatest in their own end, but as a 2nd pairing role it isn't too bad. Bottom-pair isn't too bad either. My goal for that team was to make an extremely physical defensive group, and with Slavin, Parayko, Nurse, and Zadorov I definitely got that.

 

[Panda Bear]

@hockeynorth I've seen list shenanigans. Let me take a Mulligan on Juolevi!!!!!!! We all know the beauty and danger of lists, and mine attacked me!!

Very willing to trade with this roster still btw. Especially moving a better forward + lesser D for better D + lesser forward.

I overtraded and kinda hurt my roster so let's see what more damage I can do.

Panda this is how you get yourself a real C

 

[Panda Bear]

tbf Bonino-Smith were very good together in Nashville

I like your team but it's missing a little Adam Larsson.

 

[emptyNedder]

Carolina's top pair is pretty insane.

Agreed.

Still I have the Canes best shutdown LD paired with Jones.

An almost perfect first D pair.

 

[Llamamoto]

Pesce's a RD.

(And he's the Canes third best defensemen, but that's not a slight at Pesce)

 

[Llamamoto]

Wait I just realized you're a Canes fan.

Pesce plays the left side?

 

[Panda Bear]

Here are Panda's three classic ADHD mistakes:
1) Trading up with Philadelphia instead of Winnipeg and selecting Ovechkin for Stamkos, not Josi
2) Choosing Krug instead of Petry last second, but still sending m0pe a message asking him to draft Krug...so no Petry
3) Using Google Sheets, opened my list instead of hockeynorth's. Every player I searched was there, which meant they were gone!! No Hague etc for me. Draft Juolevi. Realize later that I was searching own list.

There's an argument for Eller appearing too.

 

[Panda Bear]

Pesce has played on the left before, but it's not his preferred side.

 

[Panda Bear]

Bonus ADHD content:
* making draft picks in the wrong threads

 

[Llamamoto]

Wait does anyone else think Mete - Benning is a bad bottom-pairing?

 

[Panda Bear]

It's fine.

It doesn't have Romanov-Foote upside, but it's an improving player and a known performer in a bottom pair.

 

[BeLeafing]

Sissons was taken with both 408 and 530

530 is a typo. Should be listed as Sceviour.

 

[Panda Bear]

MULLIGAN

 

[PaulBissonnette]

Can anyone take my list for my last pick?

 

[hockeynorth]

I like it

 

[Llamamoto]

Well unforunately he was just traded....

Update coming soon.
