Smapti7's Fantasy Draft Discussion Thread

[The Produce Man]

Sounds awesome man. Long live the Quebec Nordiques!

 

[DG]

Trade

San Jose trades defenseman Dan Boyle, defenseman Marc-Edouard Vlasic and goaltender Olaf Kolzig to Detroit for defenseman Zdeno Chara, defenseman Toni Lydman and Detroit's 5th round prospect draft pick.

That's a fantastic deal for San Jose.

Guys I want to know what you're thinking of my team right now, do I have a chance to compete in that game?

 

[Kesler Kills Kommies]

Guys I want to know what you're thinking of my team right now, do I have a chance to compete in that game?

Its might be just me, i dont like this roster at all.
First of all, Filatov might not even make the columbus lineup next season, Gabroik is a good player but then he is also injured prone. Your second line is streaky at best. (i dont know much about the third and fourth line so i cant really comment.) I think your defense are competent enough but then your goalie Theodore is inconsistent, i would not give so much hope on him as the team number 1 goalie.

Guys I want to know what you're thinking of my team right now, do I have a chance to compete in that game?

Move Huselius to the top line with Getzlaf and Gaborik and you have a solid top line(nothing special, but solid).
Move Hulder and Arnason to the second line with Ryder and you might get a decent 2nd line.
Callahan-Filatov-Clowe is a very talented, though very young, 3rd line.
Kennedy and LaPeirre are a solid base for the 4th line, but I'd look for more of a true penalty killer to round out the line.

Defensively, Pitakenen and McCabe are a solid top 2 on Defense, but you lack depth behind them. Staios and Campoli are decent specialists and Koistinen and O'Byrne are both very inexperienced.

Theo and Conklin are both fairly streaky goalies and rely heavily on the team in front of them.

Overall, I see a very top-heavy club with little depth behind them. You might make the PO's based on Getzlaf-Gaborik and Pitkanen-McCabe, but I don't see you winning it all.

Then again, I admit that I'm biased as I see myself as the strongest team right now.

I beg to differ.. i mean neidermayer is the only defenseman that sticks out.. maybe blake.. but i dont think you have enough offense.. overall your forwards are slow.. im the first one to admit that i think overall my team is top 5 but i dont see your team even in the top 8.. i really dont think your forward group is better than mine. If we played a playoff series i really dont think you can beat my team.. Please correct me if wrong, but im your curious in how you analyze your team to mine.

1) Who do you have that even remotely compares to Kovalchuk?
Who do you have that even remotely compares to Neidermayer?
Who do you have that even remotely compares to Park as a PK'er?
Who do you have up front that even remotely compares to Gratton or Vasicek in terms of toughness?
Even Legace is several notches above Gerber IMO.

2) Your leading scorer was Briere with 72 points last year.
That ties with Arnott, who ranks 2nd on my team; only 1 point above Prospal's 71.

Your leading goal scorer was Briere with 31 goals.
That would have been 3rd on my team.
Kovalchuk had 52, Prospal had 33.

Your next leading goal scorer was Perry with 29.
That would have tied with Hejduk and was only 1 more than Arnott's 28.

I have 6 20+ goal scorers on my team(Kovalchuk, Prospal, Hejduk, Arnott, Shanny, Gionta); you had 4(Briere, Perry, Radulov, Kostitsyn).

My forwards combined to score 245.
Your's combined for 194.


Edit-My team is also MUCH grittier than your team, much better 2 way players and far and away more experienced.

3) My defense combined to score 33 goals.
Your's 30.

If my defense isn't that good(I don't agree with that BTW, happen to really like my mix on Defense; especially my 2 specialists in Boynton and Preissing who can eat up enough minutes on special teams to keep Blake fresh), what does that say about your's?


4) I have 12 Cup rings on my team, not counting Legace's as a backup.
You have 7.

I'll gladly take my chances in a PO series against you.

I've always liked your analysis. I respect your opinion.
My rebuttal.

1) I agree that i do no have any players remotely close to Kovalchuk skills or Niedermayer and i even agree with Legace being better than Gerber. It does not hide the fact that your centre position is weak. Look the last ten cup winning teams and they're all strong in the centre position and Arnott/Umberger versus Sakic/Briere. I did not built my team with only two players in mind. Granted if Kovalchuk or Niedermayer get injured, who is going to carry your team. If Sakic or Briere get injured, i have filpulla or Turris to pick up the slack. My team overall is just better offensively and defensively and i don't rely on two lines to give me the bulk of the scoring. I really think you underestimate how good Sakic is.

2) "I have 6 20+ goal scorers on my team(Kovalchuk, Prospal, Hejduk, Arnott, Shanny, Gionta); you had 4(Briere, Perry, Radulov, Kostitsyn)."

You make it seem like Sakic can't score 20 goals at will. Granted you picked guys that happened to have a career years or played on teams that produced well offensively. I took a risk in some of guys (Pouliot or Tomas Fleischmann) But granted with the type of team that i have, i dont need to rely on two or three guys for the bulk of the scoring. Stats aside, if Sakic was healthy and produced the way he's been producing consistently, you would not be this harsh. Also, i happen to like my young fast team. "And i love how your main arguement is all about the past. My players accomplish this so in return theyre going to be better than your team." I think you fail to also project players. Filpulla is only getting better and so is Byfuglien and Turris. And yes i understand that were only going by what the players did last year but you can throw all the stats you want, it doesnt mean your going to win. Some of my players have potential and your players really dont. Maybe Fehr but even Fleischmann is ahead of him.

3) Well just because Tallinder Hainsey and Roszival are underappreciated and underrated does not mean theyre not capable defensemans. In Buffalo, Tallinder is the number one defenseman and since were talking about the past, He was one of the biggest reason why Buffalo played the Run and Gun system. He was playing 20+ plus minutes. Roszival is also the number 1 defenseman in NYR and so was Hainsey. Just because they're not talked about all the time, does not mean they're not good players. With my team, i dont need a pp quarterback. My forwards can step in, i can use Byfuglien as a defenseman if i want to. I have versatility, Granted if one of my guys get injured, i can afford that with my depth. You cant say that about yours! And you know that.

4) Doesnt mean jack sh*it. Anaheim's players had more stanley cups than Dallas' players and who eliminated them. Carolina's players had less stanley cups but they still won and so did tampa. And yes i understand that Detroit had way more stanley cups but they were not going to get beat by Pittsburgh. It really does not matter who has more Stanley Cups but rather if your team is built to use those experiences.

I'm not knocking your team at all. And If Scott Niedermayer gets back to his old ways, your D is that much better but you can't throw stats and hopefully by doing that it justifies your claim. I see myself addressing my weakness but i dont see you doing that at all. Your are pretty bias but then again who isnt. I really wish i had Garon though damm you Gerber!

I want other peoples opinion too because i know kimsey and i are going to go on and on and on.

1) Not at all, you are just under-estimating how good Arnott and Umberger are. Both notched over 50+ points last year. They may not be a great group, but they are also more than just "solid".

2) If Kovalchuk gets injured I have Hejduk, Prospal, Gionta and Shanny who can pick up the slack. I also have a 4th line that combined for 38 goals last year, all of which can easily step up to a higher line.

If Neid's gets injured, I still have Blake, Boynton, O'Brien and Preissing; all of which are capable of playing top 4 roles.

3) I have 4 lines that are capable of scoring, and my guys are more established than yours.

2) "I have 6 20+ goal scorers on my team(Kovalchuk, Prospal, Hejduk, Arnott, Shanny, Gionta); you had 4(Briere, Perry, Radulov, Kostitsyn)."

Filpulla is only getting better and so is Byfuglien and Turris. And yes i understand that were only going by what the players did last year but you can throw all the stats you want, it doesnt mean your going to win. Some of my players have potential and your players really dont. Maybe Fehr but even Fleischmann is ahead of him.

1) "maybe Fehr?"
- You need to go ask Boston fans about Krejci. I happen to know a lot of them that feel that Krecji is Savard's eventual replacement on the top line.

-What is Umberger, chopped liver? He just notched 50 points as Philly's #3 center and has never played with overly good wingers. Given his size and skill, I could easily see him getting to the 60-70+ point range in Columbus, not to mention the wingers I've given him.

2) I can honestly say that I would be every bit as "harsh" if Sakic were healthy. Even with Sakic, you are a small, soft team that puts far to much stock in the "potential" of players rather than their actual, proven ability. I'd liken you to the Islanders or Coyotes who always think their young forwards are good enough to compete with the upper tier teams in the league. I'm not going to buy into the hype of your team until some of those young kids prove they aren't "flash in the pan" types.

3) The only forward on my team that doesn't have at least 3-5 more very good years in him is Shanny(and he'll be replaced with Stewart in time). My average age right now is 29 and I've set up a mix of age groups on the team.

3) Well just because Tallinder Hainsey and Roszival are underappreciated and underrated does not mean theyre not capable defensemans. In Buffalo, Tallinder is the number one defenseman and since were talking about the past, He was one of the biggest reason why Buffalo played the Run and Gun system. He was playing 20+ plus minutes. Roszival is also the number 1 defenseman in NYR and so was Hainsey. Just because they're not talked about all the time, does not mean they're not good players.

I have versatility, Granted if one of my guys get injured, i can afford that with my depth. You cant say that about yours! And you know that.

I absolutely CAN say that about mine.
Blake and Neid's were both #1 D men on their teams.
Boynton, Preissing, and O'Brien were all top 4 D men on their respective teams.

My D men are all capable of handling top 4 minutes, with the exception of Lashoff(and I'm not done with my defense).

4) Doesnt mean jack sh*it. Anaheim's players had more stanley cups than Dallas' players and who eliminated them. Carolina's players had less stanley cups but they still won and so did tampa. And yes i understand that Detroit had way more stanley cups but they were not going to get beat by Pittsburgh. It really does not matter who has more Stanley Cups but rather if your team is built to use those experiences.

And mine is.

My team is gritty, extremely good offensively, extremely good defensively and doesn't key on any one player.
Yes, I have a few Star players; but they accent my team rather than define it.

My team is built for the PO's. I'll gladly take my chances against anybody.

I'm not knocking your team at all. And If Scott Niedermayer gets back to his old ways, your D is that much better but you can't throw stats and hopefully by doing that it justifies your claim. I see myself addressing my weakness but i dont see you doing that at all. Your are pretty bias but then again who isnt. I really wish i had Garon though damm you Gerber!

My weakness are not in the players (Legace is my weak link and I'll GLADLY live with that). It is in their cost. I've spent a lot to get my team, and my talent level reflects that.

actually, pronger was number 1 in anaheim and visnovsky was number 1 in LA. I'm not going into any specifics since im still at work. I don't know how you can say that my team is soft. Extreme bias in your end. Kreji vs Turris, Byfuglien vs Fehr. I can go on forever but im still at work. Let the other guys decide. Cmon. I will totally back down if the majority of the gms dont agree with me. Let the other GM's decide. I've talk to other gms and they agree with me but i want someone to step up and state their case.

[The Produce Man]

I like Angelo's forwards over Kimzey's, and Kimzey's defense over Angelo's if that helps

Neo, you have good depth at forward for sure, but, outside of Hemsky I think you lack top end talent. Personally, I think you should have kept Kostitsyn. Your defense is really good though. Edler really boosts that group.

Fedro, I'm not crazy about that team. Too many question marks, in my opinion. Can Bertuzzi still handle top line minutes? Are you confident in your secondary scoring? Because I see a lot of potential, but no sure bets. Your defense is unspectacular. Although Boyle, and Vlasic is a really good pairing. You're also very solid in net.

Doig, strong d, and great goaltending. I like your top line (and Oshie), but beyond that your forwards don't impress me. Perhaps we can work out a trade, as I have quite a glut of forwards that would improve your team.

Also, still looking to bolster my defense. Preferably a D for forwards swap. And to all inquiring GMs, no, Alex Ovechkin is NOT available. Unless the offer will blow my socks off

Could I include a rookie like JVR in my lineup or is that against our rules?

I'll clarify using the examples above.....Cherpanov and JVR would not be eligible in rosters as Cherpanov will still be in Russia and JVR is in college this year.

On the other hand because Filatov has signed and will be in camp and with his abilities, he would be one of the few 08 draftees that could make the team. Of course it will hurt the team's experience level when it comes to voting.

For example my prospect picks are Voracek(roster), Lee(roster), Soderberg(non roster) and Lepisto(roster)

This vote will be based on how good the players on the team are this year, not potential on how good they will be.

i really like the make up of your offence but i worry about your defense not being physical enough. Hanzal, Backes and Pavelski are due for a breakout and if they progress the way the way they have been improving your team is def top 10 in my books especially if Price plays the way he did in the playoffs before philly came in.

You will def have one of the hardest team to play against. Playoffs or regular season. The only thing that worries me is that you dont have a game breaker and you rely on the whole team to score which could be a good thing and a bad thing. i love your prospects too. Your defense is tough and i love it. def top 5.
