[McDrai]

@m0pe tbh I hated yours and Pandas teams.

I think they just have #USERNAMEVALUE

@m0pe tbh I hated yours and Pandas teams.

yeah that's fair.

next time i'm going to try though and stomp you

 

[m0pe]

I think they just have #USERNAMEVALUE

My #USERNAMEVALUE is elite.

Like who doesn't love me.

Factor this into your voting friends.

people don't realize that you don't need to have the best centre to win your matchup--you just need the best player. the sneaky trick is that the majority of best players end up being centres, so it fools everyone into thinking that you need the best centre.

ovechkin 2018 best player for capitals
kane 2015 2013 best player for hawks

some people think kessel robbed for 2016

 

[Panda Bear]

i bet i would do way better in these if i posted as much as @DanCloutiers5hole outside the draft thread

 

[Panda Bear]

like

i'll take a hall-hischier-palmieri or panarin-strome-fast over a bunch of pleb-star centre-pleb lines

If I didn't vote your team over a team I have ranked here though, it's matchup based. So many of these teams I have close, its mostly tier based and fluid.

Centres are important no doubt - but the Oilers have proven the last few years that having 2 of the top 5 Cs in the league doesn't automatically make you the best team in the league.

In all seriousness i think you have done the best job over these drafts considering the restrictions you put in place. Props!

RIP Toronto

Oh yeah, I am going to do everything I can to avoid facing @m0pe in the next draft because I think he's 100% top 3.

I guess LT did so well with Dallas that he earned himself two spots in your standings lol.

That doesn’t mean the opposite is true, though.

How many teams have even made the Cup finals without a #1 C?

devils top 3 in Latvian scores, top 3 in Panda scores, top 3 in hockeynorth scores.

Can't wait to see if it will beat the eventual winner. Also makes sense that Joey's Ottawa tried to get that trade through

 

[Panda Bear]

Pittsburgh top 3 in PandaScores, LatvianTwist, and hockeynorth.

 

[Exquisite]

How many teams have even made the Cup finals without a #1 C?

4 since 2010

rangers, knights, devils, preds, 5 if we include san jose with aging Thornton

 

[Paralyzer008]

I think C is quite important, I've made that argument before.

For me personally it goes:

C: 30%
Wingers: 20%
D: 30%
Goalie: 20%

Goalie though can be an epic wildcard, because they're voodoo.

What were your criteria, and how did you score?

 

[Panda Bear]

1000000%

 

[hockeynorth]

I guess LT did so well with Dallas that he earned himself two spots in your standings lol.

The second one is supposed to be Anaheim, I keep forgetting Averystar4eva is Anaheim

 

[datboichoi]

Can't vote due to new account privileges but here are the votes I gave to Latviantwist:

Blues
Stars
Flyers
Kraken
Canes
Avs
Habs
Panthers
Kings
Rangers
Blue jackets
Red Wings
Penguins

 

[hockeynorth]

What were your criteria, and how did you score?

Literally just matched up teams how I like them. Get my top 2, then match every team to the top 2, so then I have top 3, are you higher or lower than 3rd? Put you there, repeat. I spend a ton of time looking at rosters and matchups, find it a ton of fun.

Also Toronto is 1st, 2nd and 6th too so I call conspiracy

 

[DanCloutiers5hole]

i bet i would do way better in these if i posted as much as @DanCloutiers5hole outside the draft thread

I don’t get the context , are you msg shaming me cause I’m not vocal

He's saying he should keep his mouth shut

 

[LT]

Currently sitting at 20 votes. Would like at least 3 more, ideally 5 more to call the first round.

If someone wants to figure out who hasn't voted and tag them, go for it.
