Fantasy: Post HF Sharks Fantasy Hockey Talk

[HydroF]

Now that the season is over I would like to hear from people of all divisions about how their season went.

Any late round draft picks that turned out particularly well? Early picks that turned into busts? Great FA pick ups, interesting trades, lessons learned?

My goalie drafting sucked wind until i picked up Gibson but everyone else sucked. The only other good thing out my draft was I drafted Joe $$. Horrible first year as League 4 Commissioner. Was very busy at home/work and didnt get involved too much with the league. For that I apologize. I will strive to be better and more interactive.

My biggest draft win was getting Kuznetsov in the 15th round. Then picking up Panarin and Larkin out of FA right at the start of the season was a huge boost. Also after Perron got dropped by someone, picking him up when he got traded to the Ducks payed off big time.

Had drafted Getzlaf in 2nd round, and McDavid in 3rd round. So first part of the season when getz was sucking and McDavid was injured, the other moves really made up for it.

Biggest mistake was probably dropping Mrazek early on. Didn't really need him, but it would have made things a lot easier when he got hot.

3 lucky picks while drafting:
Ristolainen - 18th round
Kadri - 15th round
Schneider - 6th round

All I cared about was one thing, grind out a win against the opponent. I didn't care about the margin, just the win. Too bad I only finished with 95 moves...barely missed 100

Picking Lundqvist and Dubnyk as the 12th pick in the 1st and 3rd rounds seemed to workout ok. I'm a big fan of having two quality starters. Cammalleri was a great pickup in the 19th round until he got injured. Hertl started out slow, but I'm glad I didn't drop him as he really came through in the seconds half of the year. Dustin Brown was a disappointment all year and I dropped him as soon as the playoffs started. Luckily being near the top of the league most of the season allowed me to be a little more patient with my players. If was in the bottom I probably would have dropped Hertl early on.

I think this is the first time I've ever gone through a fantasy season without some kind of trade. I was pretty happy with my team for the most part, except a good chunk of them got injured during the last month of the season.

Took home 2nd place in D3. Had a pretty good end of the year to propel me into the playoffs and take silver. Thanks again to everyone who participated and arranged these leagues!


My team's overview this season:

The good
Scheifele's end of the year explosion pushed me through the playoffs
Tarasenko did as well as I thought he would
Sharp did better than I thought he would

The bad
Howard. Yeesh.
Expected more from Vatanen

The ugly
Malkin's injury right before fantasy playoffs started =(

Picking Lundqvist and Dubnyk as the 12th pick in the 1st and 3rd rounds seemed to workout ok. I'm a big fan of having two quality starters.

Doing the opposite worked out great for me. Especially when only 2 goalie appearances are needed. I spent the season doing a lot of picking up backup goalies who were being played in a favorable matchups. Ended up leading division 3 in GAA record and SV% record utilizing guys like Reimer, Enroth, Raanta, Domingue, Montoya etc.

Next year if we stick with just 2 goalie appearances I am definitely going to wait a couple extra rounds before picking up a goalie.

Bad: Malkin in the 1st round (LOL), Subban getting injured late in the season, Marleau busted, Palat pick was awful, Tatar did worse than expected

Good: Bishop had a solid year, Huberdeau was hot down the stretch, Doughty had a solid year, Landeskog was pretty good, Sedin did a bit worse than last year but still not bad, Zuccarello had a good year.

End result: Barely squeezed out 4th in D2...not a good year lol
