  But what about Bow Bangor Management Fantasy Hockey
• 0:03
  Podcast? Whoa, woo.
• 0:08
  Welcome, welcome. Welcome to Bangor Management,
• 0:11
  the fantasy hockey podcast with Jake, Josh and Kevin.
• 0:17
  Hello. Today is gonna be the day that
• 0:20
  we're gonna throw it back to you.
• 0:22
  What exactly are we gonna throw back to you?
• 0:24
  Not Kevin's cat, because that would be weird, but we're gonna
• 0:28
  throw some news updates and the famous Would you Rathers.
• 0:32
  That's exactly what Oasis had in mind when they wrote those
• 0:36
  lyrics, 100%. I think these would you rathers
• 0:38
  are famous at this point. Honestly I feel like words
• 0:41
  getting around and people love it and.
• 0:44
  Word is getting around. Yeah.
• 0:46
  And today I got some why is he ones for you guys?
• 0:49
  I tried to listen. I think last week was the best
• 0:52
  Would You rather episode that we had.
• 0:54
  And you weren't even here. Yeah, but this time I am here,
• 0:57
  so I'm gonna try to try to keep it good.
• 0:59
  Yeah, seriously, if they're anything like they were last
• 1:02
  week, Josh likes to peak. I never.
• 1:04
  Peak I've never peaked in my life and I never will.
• 1:08
  You guys are both butchers, OK? OHP.
• 1:11
  My goodness, I haven't even begun to peak.
• 1:13
  Slander slander. Josh doesn't even need to peak
• 1:16
  it. Would you rathers?
• 1:16
  Why? Cause he's coasting on top of
• 1:18
  the world. He is literally the top 1%.
• 1:23
  Care to explain why, Mr. Consolidation?
• 1:27
  OK. I mean, it is pretty crazy right
• 1:29
  now what's going on in our league like this, the first year
• 1:32
  I think ever that so many people are willing to trade with me
• 1:35
  and. Josh is putting small business
• 1:37
  out of business with his trades. That's what's happening.
• 1:40
  You know, like the mom and pop shops, they like to have a good
• 1:42
  time playing fantasy hockey and then there's like a
• 1:45
  conglomerates or like OK, well here's 5 bucks to close your
• 1:48
  doors and then they go around and it turns into a billion
• 1:50
  dollar business. That's Josh right now.
• 1:52
  So without your your little profaci over there, get to the
• 1:55
  chase of who you now have on your team.
• 1:57
  OK, my top three players on my team are Connor McDavid, OHE,
• 2:02
  Leon Dry, Seidel OHP in Matthews, OHK.
• 2:07
  OK, pretty good players if you ask me.
• 2:09
  OK. And they were drafted first,
• 2:11
  third and 4th overall in our league.
• 2:16
  The rest of us. How are the rest of us supposed
• 2:19
  to have fun? Please, I mean.
• 2:23
  I took all the fun. I want to have all the fun.
• 2:28
  Those are times are our teams are what you're starting 20
• 2:31
  players on any given day. So those are three of Josh's 20
• 2:34
  players. And I think it's it's not that
• 2:36
  trio and friends. So Josh is has been.
• 2:39
  Wiped clean in my team, didn't get these guys for free.
• 2:42
  I paid like a hefty price, you know, any value.
• 2:45
  Two or three good players for this player and he always made
• 2:50
  like he always had the ability to create high on somebody and
• 2:53
  buy low on somebody else. Like the McDavid trade was like
• 2:56
  thrown into his lap in like week two of the season where he
• 3:00
  traded JT and Tage Thompson for McDavid straight up but two for
• 3:03
  one and JD had like the nothing thus far.
• 3:05
  But the guy who had McDavid really loves JT and thought he
• 3:08
  was buying low and was able to get like a free Tage Thompson
• 3:11
  out of it. And then lo and behold JT sucks
• 3:14
  and McDavid is good. What are the odds and?
• 3:18
  Yeah. It's just nuts.
• 3:21
  Yeah, it's been a fun journey. I think I've made 5 or 6 trades
• 3:25
  at this point. Then I traded, I traded White
• 3:27
  Johnston, Bo Horvat and Chris Kreider for Kucherov and then
• 3:32
  turned Kucherov into Dry Seidel. And then I my most recent one
• 3:36
  was Robertson Geeky and cider for Matthews, Erickson, Eck and
• 3:41
  Barsel. So it's a it's a good time.
• 3:44
  It's a good time and. You sold really high on
• 3:46
  Robertson, who's been like the best player in fantasy over the
• 3:49
  last few weeks. Just like scoring out Wills.
• 3:50
  So honestly, like we, we always talk about being able to sell
• 3:54
  your guys when they're hot and not buying into the hype too
• 3:56
  much when it's unsustainable. And then look, you can do what
• 3:59
  Josh just did and you get another first round pick, so.
• 4:02
  I'm collecting them all. Why do you hold your first round
• 4:04
  picks dear to you guys? Close because I'm coming for
• 4:07
  them. The only the only other picks
• 4:09
  that are that were made that high that you don't have on your
• 4:12
  team are Kucherov and Brady. And that's Jake's first round
• 4:16
  pick that he has on his team right now and my first round
• 4:18
  pick so. Was on my team for like a week.
• 4:21
  You're missing, obviously, and then.
• 4:25
  Everything, yeah. So Jake was Thanos and Kevin,
• 4:30
  those are your 3 hosts today. No more.
• 4:34
  Four yes, Seriously, Archers. Is long, you snapped.
• 4:38
  He wasn't. That 50%.
• 4:40
  He's gone. Like Josh, half of it just gone.
• 4:45

  happiness. You know, we want to try to win
• 5:24
  the league as well. Why?
• 5:25
  What are we? What are we doing here?
• 5:27
  Josh, Josh, like, redefined Wrecking Ball after Miley Cyrus
• 5:31
  defined it the first time. Yeah, that's what happened.
• 5:34
  That's what happened. Look, you know what happened was
• 5:36
  last year was my first year ever not winning the league and I
• 5:38
  decided I need to get every single first round pick to make
• 5:42
  up for that. So I'm hoping to come back
• 5:44
  strong this year. We'll see what happens, but I
• 5:46
  think we should dive into some news and tidbits.
• 5:48
  So I don't think anyone interested in hearing about my
• 5:50
  team. Well, it's it's it's all
• 5:52
  content. So these are the type of trades
• 5:54
  you can make to consolidate and if it ends up working, we'll see
• 5:56
  how it goes. We'll definitely update you guys
• 5:58
  throughout the year. Instagram, TikTok X and Reddit.
• 6:03
  You can see the link to all of those in the description as
• 6:06
  well. Let's dive into some news.
• 6:09
  OK, let's do it. Kyle Palmeri of the New York
• 6:13
  Islanders tore his ACL and is out for the season.
• 6:15
  Max Shabanov is getting that first look on line.
• 6:19
  One power play 1. I don't know if you guys saw but
• 6:21
  like Pulmonary tore his ACL and then as he's leaving the ice he
• 6:24
  gets an assist. That was crazy.
• 6:28
  Yeah. That was that was really sick.
• 6:31
  It was nuts, but like, obviously this really sucks for him and it
• 6:34
  sucks for the Islanders. I think this is a big
• 6:36
  opportunity for Shabanov. I mean, we saw what called
• 6:38
  Palmeri was doing with that without deployment, sorry.
• 6:42
  And Shabanov was kind of highly touted going into the season.
• 6:44
  So now that he's getting that ice time and deployment, I think
• 6:47
  it's very interesting to see what he can do with it.
• 6:49
  I totally agree. There are two archetypes of
• 6:52
  players who have success in the KHL and come to the NHL.
• 6:56
  There is. Or Tammy Panarin and curl.
• 6:59
  Real Curry. Yeah.
• 7:00
  Curiel, Capri. Song.
• 7:01
  And then there's Nikita Gusev. You'll.
• 7:03
  Know the new listeners to the podcast.
• 7:06
  I hate Nikita Gusev, OK. I was.
• 7:09
  I was so hype on him a few years ago.
• 7:12
  He came into the league did negative for me somehow and it
• 7:16
  was so. Remember him?
• 7:18
  Like you don't want to trust me, doesn't mean nightmare still.
• 7:23
  So will Shabanov be one or the other?
• 7:25
  That's the question. Another classic Jakey thing to
• 7:28
  say. He's a very small player.
• 7:30
  He is 157 lbs, which is like, to be fair, this this is actually
• 7:34
  meaningful because in the KHL you don't have to be big and
• 7:37
  strong like in the NHL. It's more of like a finesse
• 7:39
  game. So I'd really like to see how
• 7:41
  that works out. That being known for being small
• 7:44
  and weak. She's spoken like someone who
• 7:49
  hasn't seen Miracle on Ice. The Disney version.
• 7:51
  Anyways, all this to say, this could be a very interesting one
• 7:54
  or the other. I don't expect it to be a middle
• 7:56
  of the road pick him up because the it's a tremendously high
• 7:59
  ceiling and also super low floor, but still worth it in a
• 8:02
  deep league to roster him and in a shallower league.
• 8:05
  Watch list and see how it goes. No, I was gonna say the only
• 8:09
  thing that I have to contribute to this is that he's £100 short
• 8:11
  from being able to be on Jake's team.
• 8:13
  So. So here's the thing.
• 8:17
  But yeah, if he has a lot of Chipotle, maybe he can get there
• 8:21
  one day. Yeah.
• 8:22
  So McDonald's and then you can send them to me in a trade.
• 8:24
  Yeah. I'll keep you guys updated on
• 8:27
  his weight journey, but until then, let's move on to the next
• 8:30
  one. Next we got Sean Dorsey returned
• 8:32
  from his upper body injury, took power play one for about one
• 8:36
  practice and then once and then once again one shift.
• 8:40
  Yeah. So we'll see.
• 8:42
  Like they have to get something going on.
• 8:43
  This Utah power play I picked up Thursday.
• 8:45
  I was excited. I was like, maybe he can keep
• 8:47
  power, play one for the game, you know, and obviously I was a
• 8:50
  bit too, too excited on that one, but I think it's still a
• 8:53
  possibility. So just something to keep an eye
• 8:55
  out on. Yeah.
• 8:56
  I mean, we've seen Jersey in the past be a power play quarterback
• 8:59
  in the NHL. Now listen, we saw the end of at
• 9:02
  the end of a few games ago, he got the last power play
• 9:04
  opportunity on P1. So that was the last thing we
• 9:07
  saw. And then in practice he was
• 9:08
  practicing there and then blown behold, the next game happens
• 9:12
  and circuit chip is back on P1. So it was like literally,
• 9:14
  literally a very short stint. I, I recommended people in
• 9:18
  discord to pick up Sean Dorsey just because this is the type of
• 9:21
  thing like you have to follow the process like a guy gets P1.
• 9:24
  You have to first of all, you put your alarms on and you pay
• 9:26
  attention to it. And this Utah power play has
• 9:28
  been abysmal. There, there.
• 9:30
  I think bottom 5 like hovering over bottom 3 consistently.
• 9:34
  So they're looking for a spark and something going they're
• 9:36
  bumping Logan Cooley on and off P1.
• 9:39
  He also, I mean spoiler, but oh, wait, did you did you not
• 9:43
  mention Logan Cooley in the show?
• 9:44
  Doc Josh? No, but yeah, he he avoided
• 9:47
  major injuries. So thank God for that.
• 9:50
  And yeah, I think that Sean Dorsey experiment.
• 9:52
  I, I don't want to say it's completely over, but like for
• 9:55
  those who picked them up regarding like the shift in
• 9:57
  practice they saw and whatever, I think you can safely drop for
• 10:00
  the next guy up like anybody else that we're going to talk
• 10:03
  about on this episode. Yeah, quick, quick addition
• 10:06
  there. If they do put Jersey back, I
• 10:07
  think it's a short lived thing to try to, you know shake things
• 10:10
  up. But I don't think it's going to
• 10:12
  be a season long place for him. They want circuit have to be.
• 10:15
  The power of one guy, they want to be the guy, but they also
• 10:17
  want their power to be good. So they're gonna roll with
• 10:20
  whoever is making their power play good.
• 10:22
  And whether that's there's your Sergachev, whoever makes it
• 10:25
  happen is going to be the guy that's there.
• 10:26
  The thing with Jersey though, he's been in the past, I got
• 10:29
  really good at blocks and he has like a little bit of offensive
• 10:32
  punch to him. So he just came back from
• 10:34
  injury. Maybe he's still bring some rust
• 10:36
  off, but if he gets a run at it then he's successful.
• 10:38
  Like he's going to be fantasy relevant.
• 10:40
  It's just about whether the deployment sticks or not.
• 10:43
  Yeah, OK. We've got Jared McCann of the
• 10:46
  Seattle crack and returned from injury and regained line one
• 10:49
  power play one. We've talked about this a few
• 10:52
  times. I think on the new episode he
• 10:53
  was like close to coming back for a while and now he finally
• 10:55
  did come back and he's just a very underrated name that people
• 10:58
  don't really give much respect to for being the best forward on
• 11:01
  a team. So I definitely have interest in
• 11:04
  picking him up after this two game week is done.
• 11:07
  Yeah, same here. I almost spoiler.
• 11:11
  I almost put him into would you rather us today just to get
• 11:13
  spicy with it? But I did not.
• 11:15
  So can I just throw like a few names that you just to see where
• 11:18
  you kind of like fall for Jeremy Mechanic like with this
• 11:20
  deployment And you know, his history is kind of valuable for
• 11:22
  fantasy. So would you rather Jared McCann
• 11:25
  or Gabe Vilardi? Vilardi.
• 11:29
  OK. Thank you.
• 11:30
  Yeah, same. This is the real reason you
• 11:32
  didn't put him in. So you can sneak it in mid
• 11:34
  episode. Yeah, exactly.
• 11:36
  That another nickel to the majority so.
• 11:40
  True. I didn't even think about that.
• 11:42
  OK, Jerry McKenna. Doyle, Holloway.
• 11:45
  Holloway. Holloway.
• 11:47
  OK, McCann or Ecklund? Hmm.
• 11:51
  I think I go McCann. I I think for now I agree but I
• 11:56
  I could see Echlin just being insane because the sharks are
• 11:59
  really looking good. They are looking good.
• 12:02
  Yeah, I I go like on there, I think, but I think it's the same
• 12:05
  tier. I think it's just like if one of
• 12:08
  them had a better schedule than the other, I'd prefer the one
• 12:09
  with a better schedule type of thing, you know.
• 12:11
  So yeah, just gives you an idea of where we value your Mexican
• 12:14
  rest of season. If anybody has them on their
• 12:16
  roster and activated them from IR, that's a good idea.
• 12:19
  Yeah, exactly. OK.
• 12:21
  Val Nichushkin was a full participant at practice and
• 12:24
  we'll be back tonight. It will be interesting to see if
• 12:27
  you could bump Landeskog or Lucanian off Power Play 1.
• 12:30
  I think that if you, I would pretty much guarantee that none
• 12:34
  of those power play one guys is going to hold it all season.
• 12:37
  I think it's going to be back and forth throughout the entire
• 12:40
  year. And you know, they're great when
• 12:42
  they have that stretch. The truth is a good enough
• 12:44
  player that even when he's not power play one, he's still worth
• 12:46
  holding. But obviously the stealing is
• 12:48
  way higher with the deployment. So I, you know, honestly, if I
• 12:51
  have to choose skin, I'm holding him regardless.
• 12:53
  But once he gets power play one I'm trying to sell I.
• 12:57
  Yeah, I totally get that. I was very prepared to say that
• 13:01
  I think Landeskog is going to keep it and just because he's
• 13:04
  the captain, he's actually had some good success recently.
• 13:06
  They want to get him going. I'm looking at their lines for
• 13:08
  tonight and it seems as if it's nutrition in on power play one
• 13:12
  over Landeskog, which I'm honestly a bit surprised.
• 13:14
  By was also dealing with the sickness thing, so it's possible
• 13:17
  that I practice. They just ran with it and gave
• 13:20
  the lady a little rest. Definitely possible.
• 13:22
  At the end of the day, this is just such a wagon that they're
• 13:25
  gonna keep experimenting and just be so good when they get
• 13:28
  into the playoffs. So you're totally right Josh,
• 13:30
  between the three it's going to be volatile.
• 13:31
  But if you own natures like I wish I did then you are just so
• 13:36
  happy because those 3 will not top power plays are did not.
• 13:39
  Can I give you guys a few names for the chicken?
• 13:42
  OK, you can get quickly. OK, it's your skin Or Alex Tuck.
• 13:47
  Tuck. I think so too, with the
• 13:49
  shorthand upside, yeah. OK, um, Nichushkin or Nick
• 13:54
  Schmaltz. And choosing.
• 13:56
  Me too, same. OK.
• 13:59
  Cool. He's gearing us up as two
• 14:01
  difference. And yeah, I know exactly.
• 14:03
  He's practicing. He's just collecting data.
• 14:04
  That's all he does, you know, collecting data on us so that he
• 14:07
  can split the difference every episode.
• 14:08
  It's great style. Yeah, exactly.
• 14:13
  OK, the model is learning. We're just, we're just feeding
• 14:15
  him information. That's exactly.
• 14:17
  It the guy, just FYI, the guys that I named I value less than
• 14:20
  the first. Would you rather with Jared
• 14:21
  McCann? OK.
• 14:23
  Yeah, like all the guys that we talked about with Jeremy McCann,
• 14:25
  I value more than the guy that just listed now.
• 14:28
  Yeah, I can see that. OK David Pasternak is day-to-day
• 14:33
  with an undisclosed injury and Victor Arvidson is back from
• 14:35
  injury, so he's taking his spot on power play 1 the past injury.
• 14:38
  They said that he's not traveling with the team for this
• 14:41
  week. They said that of their injured
• 14:44
  guys, he's the closest to coming back.
• 14:46
  So if gun to my head, as Kevin likes to say, someone's asking
• 14:49
  me for a timeline on pasta, I'm saying one to two weeks.
• 14:52
  And I think that's a pretty solid bet.
• 14:54
  And in terms of what the injury is, I don't know if people
• 14:57
  remember this, but he had the tendonitis going into the
• 14:59
  season. So it's possible that it got re
• 15:02
  aggravated or something like that or something completely
• 15:04
  new. They're not telling us, so we
• 15:06
  won't speculate on it too much. Do you see this as a bylaw
• 15:09
  opportunity for pasta? Yeah, anytime one of these top,
• 15:12
  uh, top tier guys is injured and it's not like a long term
• 15:16
  injury, I'm like jumping, pouncing on the opportunity to
• 15:19
  buy low on them. And you're not worried if it's
• 15:21
  like the tendonitis thing, that it might be a lingering issue
• 15:23
  for the whole season? I mean, it's definitely a worry,
• 15:27
  but the fact is like when he said that tendonitis thing, he
• 15:29
  also said that he had been playing through the entire last
• 15:31
  season. So he's dealt with it before.
• 15:33
  I know there's other players who had it who have played with it,
• 15:35
  you know, the entire season. So I think it's just going to be
• 15:38
  a there might be a, you know, if this is what it is, then it
• 15:42
  might be here and there. He gets like sat for load
• 15:45
  management which sucks, but he's still good enough player that
• 15:48
  I'm not work. Yeah, the.
• 15:50
  Green like trading Morgan Gigi for Austin Matthews and then
• 15:54
  this happens. Yeah, you missed out.
• 15:57
  Josh could have had the best scorer in the league.
• 16:00
  Ohi think it's the opposite. I think the whole team's gonna
• 16:02
  start sucking. Like I know geeky was like doing
• 16:05
  well, not on passage line, but it's the whole concept of being
• 16:08
  able to give him better matchups.
• 16:10
  But in all seriousness, it is a pretty solid Morgan Geeky test.
• 16:14
  He's been on fire if he keeps this up throughout the.
• 16:16
  More than on fire, he's been like on the lava.
• 16:20
  No. It's just twenty goals.
• 16:23
  For the most goals? An interviewer asked him.
• 16:24
  Like, how does he feel? He was just like, I'm not meant
• 16:26
  to be here man. Believe in himself.
• 16:33
  Yeah, but I really think the whole team's gonna get like
• 16:35
  tremendously work. We would worse.
• 16:36
  We talk about talismanic, it doesn't get talismanic or than
• 16:39
  Pasternak, especially considering the Bruins are
• 16:42
  somewhat afloat. So Geeky is gonna get a lot
• 16:44
  worse. And then he has been naturally
• 16:47
  and on top of that, yeah. She was due for some regression
• 16:50
  anyways, but this passage definitely doesn't help.
• 16:52
  This is the iceberg that is just going to sink their boat.
• 16:55
  Yeah, exactly. That's gonna sync the Titanic.
• 17:00
  Exactly. OK, here's a here's a big one.
• 17:02
  Carter Hart is making his season debut for Vegas.
• 17:05
  We'll see if he can perform at the NHL level after two years
• 17:08
  away from the game. That's pretty, pretty long time
• 17:12
  to be out of it. I know that his conditioning
• 17:14
  stint didn't go great, but obviously that's not, you know,
• 17:16
  Carrie Price played in the NHL like one game and didn't do
• 17:19
  great. You know, like it's such a
• 17:20
  different league that I don't put too much stock into that.
• 17:22
  I felt more stocking the fact that he hasn't played in like 2
• 17:24
  years. Yeah, I think I think honestly,
• 17:28
  it's worth having a conversation on Carter Hart because we've had
• 17:30
  so many people ask questions in the Discord and it's just, it's
• 17:33
  just a general topic of conversation.
• 17:35
  By the time you guys are listening to this, you will have
• 17:37
  already seen the first game for Carter Hart in the NHL.
• 17:40
  So you'll know if you got lit up or you'll know if he stood on
• 17:43
  his head and had a great game. So if we're talking about both,
• 17:46
  my my guess, my prediction is the fact that I don't think he
• 17:50
  has a stellar game, but I don't think he gets lit up either.
• 17:52
  Like Vegas is such a good team that it's hard to like, you
• 17:55
  know, have an abysmal match. But the coach said he expects
• 17:58
  him to be rusty going into this. Like he had three HL games and
• 18:01
  he wasn't impressive in any of them.
• 18:03
  So I'm expecting him to get better as the season progresses.
• 18:07
  I'm just curious to see if they want him to be the guy until
• 18:10
  Aiden he'll comes back or just like another another name that
• 18:14
  gets 5050 starts with with a Irish Mead until Aiden Hill
• 18:17
  comes back if he ever comes back.
• 18:20
  Yeah, so I think that it's gonna be him overtaking it over the
• 18:26
  next week or two. They're gonna ride it out, and
• 18:28
  then maybe when Hill comes back, they'll do a tandem.
• 18:31
  You were still playing in the KHL, So it's not as if he wasn't
• 18:35
  playing. And yeah, to me, the way I see
• 18:37
  this is that like players could go from the NHL to other leagues
• 18:42
  and come back and still be successful.
• 18:44
  Look at Rajab, look at Yager and goalies of YEAH.
• 18:51
  So I really think that this is a great opportunity to pick up
• 18:55
  what should be the starter on a great team.
• 18:57
  Yeah. He's most likely picked up on
• 19:00
  most teams. I feel like people as soon as he
• 19:01
  got that out, eligibility, everybody that's in a normal
• 19:04
  league, you know, stashing right away to the IR plus.
• 19:07
  But let's say, let's say he's still available on waivers.
• 19:10
  Would you drop UC Syros to pick up Carter Heart?
• 19:13
  Everybody's talking about, you see Soros right now, nobody
• 19:15
  wants nobody wants him on their team anymore.
• 19:19
  I don't. I don't actually, you know,
• 19:22
  yeah, I'll probably, yeah. Cause cause Vegas is just so
• 19:26
  much better than Nashville. At least he's gonna get the
• 19:27
  winds. Like it's gonna be like a bit of
• 19:29
  a rocky start. I'm not expecting like instantly
• 19:32
  just fitting in and doing great. But I think what it's all said
• 19:35
  and done, in a month or two from now, you'll be happy you're
• 19:37
  owning part over that stretch. I think if you're OK with the
• 19:41
  outcome, the possible outcome of you drop Saros for for heart and
• 19:44
  heart sucks and then you have to drop heart and find another
• 19:47
  goalie. If you're OK with that possible
• 19:49
  outcome, then yeah, I'd do it. If like your league is so deep
• 19:52
  and everyone Ashe goalies that like you dropped arrows, you
• 19:54
  pick up heart doesn't work out and then you just like screwed
• 19:57
  then I wouldn't take the risk. Same thing with Bennington.
• 20:01
  You think you can make the choice, son?
• 20:05
  What about URL? I know I like you feel more.
• 20:10
  I mean, no, I would drop him for heart, but I mean, I don't have
• 20:12
  to shoot him into the sun. OK, only didn't get shot into
• 20:15
  the sun. Noted.
• 20:16
  Yeah, exactly. Dropping or shooting into the.
• 20:22
  Which would you drop a Habs goalie for?
• 20:24
  Carter Hart. I'll drop Dobish, yeah.
• 20:27
  You wouldn't. I would now keep Monty.
• 20:30
  I will. Just want to him I just wonder
• 20:33
  game. To me, maybe it's two good games
• 20:34
  tonight. Yeah, OK, wait, let's move on.
• 20:37
  Let's move on. That's a let's get on the on the
• 20:39
  card to heart front, even though it is super interesting.
• 20:41
  We've got a lot of stuff. All right, next, Ryan Nugent,
• 20:44
  Hopkins returned from injury and bumped Adam Henrique off power
• 20:46
  play one. No surprises there.
• 20:48
  And I mean, their power play kind of took off back to where
• 20:52
  we expected. So as a McDavid and Draisaitl
• 20:55
  owner and pretty pretty happy about this.
• 20:57
  Not much to mention here besides the fact that I mean the
• 21:00
  highlighted Rhino Hopkins as a cell height earlier in the
• 21:03
  season when you know he was getting the top 6 deployment and
• 21:05
  the P1 was clicking right now if he was on your IR, you activate
• 21:08
  him and it's pretty straightforward.
• 21:10
  But he's gonna be line 3C most likely so let's give you 5 still
• 21:14
  still AP merchant. If you can sell him, I would.
• 21:17
  Yeah, he got 2 points in his game for one game back.
• 21:19
  So I think you could still anyone who plays with McDavid
• 21:22
  and decide on that power play has value in a trade.
• 21:27
  Speaking of guys on my team, Austin Matthews returned from
• 21:30
  injury and regained his line. One power play, one spot.
• 21:33
  Let me be very clear, I'm happy he's back from injury.
• 21:35
  I'm booing that he's on your team.
• 21:37
  Yeah. Now I have to root for at least
• 21:40
  the mice even more. Exactly.
• 21:42
  He's on Josh's team. I'm trying to think back on all
• 21:46
  my many championships and I think Matthews has been on most
• 21:50
  of my championship teams, so I'm pretty.
• 21:52
  Excited about championships? I mean, for, for the first two
• 21:56
  years at least, want to leave my, my team name was Stone Cold
• 21:58
  Steve Austin and it was a picture of Matthew's face on
• 22:01
  Stone Cold Steve Austin. So, you know, he's been a key
• 22:04
  part of a lot of my victories. So I'm I'm excited to see what
• 22:06
  he can do for me this year. Yeah, I I still think so.
• 22:11
  Yeah, yeah, same. And also I I think that it's
• 22:16
  just like the Leafs are gonna be scoring less.
• 22:19
  So I wouldn't expect as elite as he was, but like still appoint
• 22:23
  for game plus with incredible back categories, maybe even
• 22:26
  better blocks than you're used to in better shots.
• 22:28
  So it could even out with a slight dip in points.
• 22:30
  But obviously this is. Massive side tangent, I'm
• 22:34
  curious are people do people like it when we talk about our
• 22:37
  league of record or like the trades that we're making and
• 22:39
  whatever? Or do people like are just like
• 22:41
  get the good stuff? I just want to hear how it can
• 22:42
  make my team better, you know, because people are actually
• 22:45
  interested. Like let let us know in the
• 22:46
  YouTube comments, Let us know in the Spotify comments or in the
• 22:49
  Discord. Like I'll make a discord channel
• 22:51
  that maybe is like just read only and we can just keep
• 22:53
  posting the transactions that you know, all of our teams make
• 22:56
  and the adds and drops in the trades and just to keep people
• 22:59
  updated. I think that could be cool.
• 23:00
  Just thought. Yeah, and also people hate it.
• 23:03
  We can stop talking about it. Let us know.
• 23:06
  Yeah, and Speaking of the Leafs, Matthew Nice also returned from
• 23:09
  injury and took his spot back on line one power play on.
• 23:11
  So, you know, both those guys were out for a bit and the power
• 23:14
  play has been absolutely awful so far this year.
• 23:17
  So I'm hoping that they could turn it around.
• 23:20
  Now that I have Matthews, I also pick up Easton Cohen who's power
• 23:23
  play ones, so it'll be interesting to see what happens
• 23:25
  there. Talking of teams with blue
• 23:28
  jerseys, Adam Fox was put on LTIR for an upper body injury.
• 23:33
  Will Cooley takes his spot on power play one.
• 23:35
  This is crazy. They didn't even waste anytime
• 23:38
  he went straight from playing in a game to LTIR, there wasn't,
• 23:41
  oh, we're going to see, evaluate whatever like LTR immediately.
• 23:44
  What does that mean to you when you see that?
• 23:48
  From what I'm seeing, it means that they know for sure he's
• 23:51
  missing multiple weeks. And I think from what I saw, the
• 23:56
  reports that I, that I saw was following the trying to follow
• 23:59
  it closely. They said he's not, he's not
• 24:01
  gonna be overly for the Olympics, which is February.
• 24:06
  So all of December, I'm expecting him to be out.
• 24:09
  I'm expecting a return maybe like mid January is my guess.
• 24:13
  Just so he's able to like play a few games because I don't think
• 24:15
  he can go from like being injured for two months and then
• 24:18
  straight into the Olympics like they would just won't pick him
• 24:21
  for that. So I think you'll have to come
• 24:22
  back in January at some point, but like that's already four or
• 24:25
  five weeks away. So that we expect to be expect
• 24:29
  to be. I mean, by law, if you can IR
• 24:31
  stash, I have a league where I bought low on Hellebuyck.
• 24:34
  Like I said, I I traded Jarvis and swimming for Hellebuyck and
• 24:37
  this is a league with two IR spots.
• 24:38
  I already had Jack Hughes and I just lost Adam Fox.
• 24:41
  So I traded for a guy to state on IR and then I just lost Adam
• 24:44
  Fox for five weeks and I have a dead roster spot for until hella
• 24:47
  bunker Fox comes back. So moves there because I don't
• 24:52
  really want to trade any of them.
• 24:53
  So just be careful when you're trying to R slash to make sure
• 24:55
  you actually have the ability to just stash and not cost your
• 24:58
  team a healthy spot. But I would absolutely try and
• 25:01
  be trying to buy Adam Fox from the road right now.
• 25:03
  And also I just wanna throw it throw it out there that I now
• 25:06
  own 3/5 of the New York Rangers power play won.
• 25:08
  So pretty happy about that. Honestly, if you told me at the
• 25:11
  start of the season that at any point in the season all three of
• 25:16
  Panera, Introject and Cooley would be on that power play one,
• 25:18
  I would tell you there's no shot like then, you know, like what
• 25:22
  are the odds like even? Like one of them would be.
• 25:23
  Besides, Exactly. Yeah.
• 25:25
  Like Panarin was obvious. But then, like the other two, I
• 25:27
  was like, most likely neither of them, you know, like we thought,
• 25:29
  laugh, you know, whatever. But like, yeah, no, it's crazy.
• 25:32
  Good for you, Kevin, But we'll see what happens with that.
• 25:36
  OK, Connor Garland is out with an upper body injury.
• 25:38
  Kiefer Sherwood taking a spot on power play one.
• 25:41
  Now see here, they seem to have decided that Sherwood is the
• 25:43
  backup power play one guy every time Connor Garland gets
• 25:46
  injured, which seems to be every week.
• 25:48
  So that just makes a guy who's already a bangers beast even
• 25:52
  more, you know, viable and for points and power play points,
• 25:55
  which is kind of crazy. And I think Keeper sure was
• 25:58
  getting traded. So what does that do for his
• 26:01
  fantasy value? I I think it really depends
• 26:05
  where he gets traded. I'm hearing Bruins are
• 26:07
  interested. Of course I'm hearing Carolina
• 26:11
  is interested. I'm hearing Devils are
• 26:12
  interested. These are the teams that are
• 26:13
  kind of in for a winger right now.
• 26:15
  But sure, with the specific type of winger, like his young
• 26:17
  scoring goals and he's a banging beast.
• 26:20
  So I expect maybe his bangers to get slightly worse depending
• 26:24
  where he goes just because it's hard to keep up that archetype
• 26:26
  when you're you do it somewhere else.
• 26:28
  I would say. But they want to first round
• 26:31
  pick plus. So when that happens, if it's
• 26:33
  like next week or in a month, I don't know.
• 26:36
  But I feel like at this point Vancouver's committed to selling
• 26:40
  and I think Sherwood is like the prime piece that they want to
• 26:42
  sell but the 1P1 is his value goes up.
• 26:45
  Maybe you trade him in your fantasy leagues before he gets
• 26:47
  traded. Indiana in the NHL.
• 26:50
  I will say that I think his value goes down tremendously,
• 26:53
  maybe not tremendously, but his value goes down regardless of
• 26:55
  where he ends up because there's no team he ends up on that he's
• 26:58
  gonna be power play 1. So the fact that he has it now
• 27:01
  on Vancouver is the highest he's going to do.
• 27:03
  And also there's his banks can't get better than they've already
• 27:05
  been. They can only go down.
• 27:06
  Like you said, mostly they stay pretty similar, but overall I
• 27:09
  think it's only going to be bad for.
• 27:10
  Him so less time, less bangers. Yeah, exactly.
• 27:13
  And also like when you're trying to learn a new system, they were
• 27:15
  more worried about like being making mistakes proper on the
• 27:18
  ice as opposed to just like hitting everything around, you
• 27:21
  know, so. Yeah.
• 27:23
  Yeah, yeah, it's nowhere to go down.
• 27:27
  The best place to be? All right, here's the one that
• 27:30
  really pissed me off this week. Mark Stone returns from injury
• 27:35
  out of nowhere and bumped Brayden Bowman off powerfully.
• 27:38
  One who Braden Bowman, who I picked up two days earlier.
• 27:41
  I don't understand this guy. There's no news about him for
• 27:43
  months or at least felt like maybe weeks, but there's no
• 27:46
  absolutely 0 Newsies LTIR this guys, you know, probably dead.
• 27:49
  And then he's like, oh wait, it can, it can screw Josh's fantasy
• 27:53
  team over. If I just randomly came back
• 27:54
  this week, OK, I'll get out of bed.
• 27:56
  I'll be like freaking. He's literally like, he's like
• 27:58
  Grandpa Joe from Willy Wonka, right?
• 28:00
  Like he's like bedridden his entire life.
• 28:02
  And then like Charlie comes with the golden ticket, like, oh, I
• 28:05
  can walk again, you know, deep cut, you know, for for all you
• 28:11
  Grampa Joe haters out there. All of us unite.
• 28:17
  So, so I I think like Bowman spot on, this power play is
• 28:20
  basically gone. But I mean, he's still playing
• 28:24
  with Michael. So you dropped him.
• 28:25
  Would you recommend that to everybody as well?
• 28:29
  Instant drop. I mean.
• 28:31
  In most leagues he's innocent drop I think.
• 28:33
  Yeah. I mean we've talked about this.
• 28:35
  I don't like having guys wear not power play one or a banger
• 28:38
  and he doesn't, yeah provide much category coverage.
• 28:40
  So I do think in terms of, you know, even strength deployment,
• 28:42
  he has one of the best even strength deployment in the
• 28:44
  league. But I just don't, you know,
• 28:46
  trust that enough without any power play on exposure.
• 28:49
  There's absolutely no way he overtakes one of the guys there,
• 28:52
  right? I don't think so.
• 28:54
  Zero chance. I will say 1.
• 28:56
  Inevitably Mark Stone gets injured again.
• 28:57
  I'm snapping up Omen. I do think that we have to talk
• 29:02
  about the other consequences of Mark Stone coming back because
• 29:05
  now Vegas looks like they're rolling 3 lines and Hurdle and
• 29:09
  Dorothea V are playing line 3 and they're playing like 15
• 29:12
  minutes a night. So definitely hinders their
• 29:15
  value. Both of them are still P1, which
• 29:17
  is great and is a solid foundation for their fantasy
• 29:20
  value. But definitely both guys took a
• 29:22
  hit in the immediate future and we're seeing, you know, Bowman
• 29:26
  and and Barbershop play with Eichel on line 1, which is
• 29:28
  crazy. And then Marner and Stone where
• 29:31
  are playing with a with Brett Howden.
• 29:34
  So that's that's how that happens.
• 29:37
  I think there's there's a perfect opportunity to put like
• 29:39
  the six best players in the top in the top 6, but they're
• 29:43
  splitting it into two to two. So and Hurdle and Dora Fav
• 29:46
  seemed to be the guys that are missing out right now.
• 29:48
  I do think that both of them end up in the top six eventually.
• 29:51
  Again, let's not forget like William Carlson will come back
• 29:54
  at some point as well and he's, you know, their best line 3C.
• 29:58
  So I think when that happens, Hurdle will get line 2C and then
• 30:02
  hopefully Dorothy gets bumped up to either playing with Eichel or
• 30:04
  playing with with Hurdle again. So just just definitely to note,
• 30:09
  I still think Dora Favor is a buy low opportunity, but you
• 30:12
  have to temper your expectations for the moment with this new
• 30:14
  deployment that he's not gonna be firing on all cylinders, but
• 30:16
  maybe just makes the window to buy even better and you can get
• 30:18
  them on the cheap. Good note.
• 30:22
  OK, yeah, Pyotr Kochetkov is out with a lower body injury.
• 30:26
  Brandon Bussey is the starter in his absence.
• 30:29
  Guys, we memed it into existence.
• 30:31
  I don't know how this happened. We just can't stop talking about
• 30:34
  the busy. It's, it's actually nuts.
• 30:36
  Like, I don't know, the Hocking gods decided that they wanted us
• 30:40
  to talk about busy all year and that's.
• 30:43
  Now busy, it's it's crazy. And one Firefly one like next
• 30:48
  week. She would just traded in.
• 30:50
  RDP has taken a spot. It's written in the stars.
• 30:53
  Exactly. Yeah.
• 30:54
  So this is crazy. But Anderson is pretty injury
• 30:57
  prone too. Kochetkov.
• 30:59
  Also, do you think that Bussy could handle a full load?
• 31:05
  I love how you try to say that straight face.
• 31:07
  I'm just gonna move on. Definitely think that.
• 31:09
  I definitely think that. Brandon Bussey has shown enough
• 31:12
  on his own time on ice that he's a capable goaltender able to win
• 31:18
  games. He he just gotta shout out like
• 31:20
  nominee, nominee rookies have gotten shoutouts for their team
• 31:23
  in this many starts. So I I think that he's
• 31:27
  definitely viable pick up if you're an extremely goalie
• 31:30
  needed team and you know the options are scarce.
• 31:32
  Would you rather Anderson or busy moving forward?
• 31:35
  I think I'm leaning busy just because I feel like right now
• 31:37
  he's playing himself into a 5050 timeshare and Walker Chekov is
• 31:41
  out. That's a whole other
• 31:42
  conversation with with Kochetkov, but he doesn't seem
• 31:45
  right. Like I'm I do not want him on my
• 31:47
  team. Like, so I'm happy with either
• 31:49
  of these Carolina guys knowing they're gonna get 50% of the
• 31:51
  starts. And I think both he's the guy
• 31:53
  that maybe could give you better quality.
• 31:56
  Yeah, it's crazy. If you told me at the start of
• 31:58
  the season that neither Anderson nor Kochetkov would be like the
• 32:01
  top Carolina goalie to own, and they didn't make any trades, and
• 32:04
  the other guy's name is Pussy, I would be like, what could I
• 32:08
  have? What you're having, you know,
• 32:09
  like, yeah, no, this is crazy. But uh, yeah, everything you
• 32:14
  said is is absolutely correct. I'm excited about this, this
• 32:17
  next one, because I think depressed Kevin is finally gone
• 32:21
  and the Return of the King by Peter Jackson is a, you know, a
• 32:26
  big, big moment here. Brady could Chuck.
• 32:29
  Returns to action. And bumped bumped Dylan Cousins
• 32:34
  off power play one actually. So Kevin like is like smiley.
• 32:38
  Face and cousins off. Yeah, probably 1.
• 32:41
  Chuck crimped Pinto, but then Pinto got his spot back and
• 32:44
  bumped cousins. So yeah, anyways, could Chuck is
• 32:47
  back? All you could Chuck holders out
• 32:48
  there rejoice like Kevin was all week.
• 32:51
  And I was. I still AM.
• 32:53
  Yeah, I'd say the only the only loser out of all this right now
• 32:56
  is Dylan Cousins. We'll see if it keeps that spot.
• 32:58
  It's whoever is the Automan out on power play. 1 loses, everyone
• 33:01
  else on the team wins. Yeah, I, I mean, listen, I I
• 33:04
  suspect they'll cousins to make his way back to P1 and, and in
• 33:07
  the future, whether it's this week or next week or in a in a
• 33:10
  month, I don't know. But this Ottawa power play has
• 33:14
  not been the best as of late. And they're used to being like a
• 33:17
  top five power play. I think having Brady beaten that
• 33:20
  front guy is going to help a lot.
• 33:22
  I'm more curious about how the 5 E 5 lines are going to go
• 33:25
  because it looks like from what I'm seeing in practice that they
• 33:28
  decided to split up Batherson and Stutzel as of late.
• 33:31
  And those guys have had chemistry together recently and
• 33:34
  now Brady is playing with Stutzel and Cousins playing with
• 33:36
  Batherson. So, um, seeing how those lines
• 33:40
  shake out is interesting to me. But nonetheless, I think you're
• 33:43
  just happy to have Brady back in your lineup.
• 33:45
  I mean, this, the guy came back, got a point.
• 33:47
  The next thing we got eight shots.
• 33:48
  So like, I sometimes I open my Yahoo app and look at the score
• 33:52
  and I see like, he's got two shots, three hits.
• 33:53
  And like, I'm like, oh, what, what time is it?
• 33:56
  And I look at his, they've played like 4 minutes and I'm
• 33:58
  like, OK, that's just Brady. So glad he's back.
• 34:02
  I don't think that auto is like top heavy team.
• 34:05
  I don't think that they're the type of team that's gonna put
• 34:07
  like their top 6 and consolidate the way Vegas can and probably
• 34:11
  should. They they're just, they've
• 34:13
  always been more balanced down the lines and Shane Pen does a
• 34:16
  great line 3C like that's like really good.
• 34:19
  Stuff and they just. Have a yeah, you you got Jiroux,
• 34:23
  Shane Pinto and Bing Bang Bang with Amadio.
• 34:25
  And I mean that's a pretty solid line 3 right there.
• 34:28
  I wouldn't be surprised if Batherson does shift to line 1
• 34:33
  and I guess that means it's a pretty top heavy line 1.
• 34:35
  Nevertheless, with Brady back, I mean, he's just returned to the
• 34:39
  King is like, like, you know what we have?
• 34:42
  We have Aragorn at home vibes, that's how.
• 34:46
  I do. Would be good to talk about,
• 34:48
  yeah. We do talk about Pinto though,
• 34:50
  like are you adding him if you're if you're in a deep
• 34:53
  league? I feel like he's a must at this
• 34:54
  point when you get exposure to the P1 because honestly his
• 34:57
  metrics have been solid even without the P1.
• 34:59
  So the fact that now he's getting exposure there, I feel
• 35:02
  like he's even in 12 team leagues, he can be an AD.
• 35:06
  Yeah, as long as he's power play one I want, I want him on my
• 35:09
  team. Second loses power, play 1, I
• 35:11
  don't have much interest. But yeah, absolutely.
• 35:13
  You know, you think the chance when a guy who's already a good
• 35:15
  player gets the deployment, it's a great time to pick him up.
• 35:19
  Yep. Three games ago?
• 35:22
  Who? Sorry, just just because.
• 35:24
  It's striking how many hits Pinto had three games ago. 5.
• 35:28
  Josh. I'm gonna say 4. 9.
• 35:34
  Or crazy 5. 991 and three over the last three games.
• 35:42
  That's crazy. Not to mention he's been playing
• 35:44
  over 20 minutes a night. Yeah, that's a serious.
• 35:46
  Pickup, yeah, that's good stuff, right?
• 35:49
  There like this next guy we're gonna talk about.
• 35:51
  Yeah. All right, keeping on the Kevin
• 35:53
  is happy train. Josh Norris is backed and bumped
• 35:57
  Zach Pence, Benson off power play one.
• 35:59
  We've been talking about Norris coming back for awhile.
• 36:03
  Hope you throwback to our Week 1 waiver episode where we
• 36:06
  recommended Norris as the best. Yeah, we are once again
• 36:09
  recommending Nora says the best pick up.
• 36:11
  Put up three points in this game back.
• 36:13
  As long as this guy's healthy, he's amazing, OK.
• 36:16
  And again, if you're picking up for free, you don't lose
• 36:18
  anything from holding him as long as he's healthy.
• 36:20
  So yeah, this is an easy pickup. He's line one power play, 1
• 36:23
  centre, just as we expected, and as long as he's healthy, he's
• 36:26
  gonna be. Yeah, I mean, I, I still
• 36:29
  remember he played one game guys he got, he got hurt on like the
• 36:32
  last face off of the first game of the season, which is already,
• 36:36
  I had lost Brady right after, I lost Trocheck right after and
• 36:40
  then I lost a bunch of other guys.
• 36:42
  So I've been, I've been longing for this Josh Norris return and
• 36:45
  the fact that he comes back with a boom is just very exciting.
• 36:48
  We know he has it in his back. Like we got a lot of questions
• 36:50
  in the discord about like what, what can I expect rest of season
• 36:53
  from Josh Norris? Like what are we, what are we
• 36:55
  expecting here? I told people I think you can
• 36:57
  get .4 point, .4 goals, .4 assists, an average of like .8
• 37:01
  points per game gets you a lot of power play points, power play
• 37:05
  goals specifically. So if you're in a points league
• 37:07
  like that, values those more. I think he's more of a goal
• 37:09
  scorer than an assist guy and over I think he's a double
• 37:12
  double. I think he'll get you 2 shots,
• 37:14
  two hits and if you're lucky maybe like 7 or 8 face off wins
• 37:18
  or 6-7 face off wins. Yeah, I totally agree.
• 37:23
  That's a great idea. Is like a 262 on the back end.
• 37:27
  So that's like two shots, like face off wins, two hits and then
• 37:30
  .8 with like .25 Hartley points and like that.
• 37:34
  I think it's just a really, really good ad and there's not
• 37:37
  much to say. His is always been held.
• 37:38
  It's never been that he's not good.
• 37:40
  Yeah, yeah. And you, you know, you you can
• 37:41
  also say that he's never played with this much offensive talent.
• 37:45
  I I know that Brady's an amazing player, is way better for banger
• 37:48
  leagues and Tamsin. But like, like Norris is amazing
• 37:52
  at the Bangor categories, always has been throughout his whole
• 37:54
  career. And now you put him on a line
• 37:56
  which taped Thompson and like, probably Benson's going to
• 37:59
  stick, you know what I mean? Like, that's that there's a lot
• 38:02
  of potential for him to be incredible.
• 38:04
  So if you held diamond hands, good for you.
• 38:07
  And if not, I mean only 25% won't pick him up.
• 38:10
  Yeah, yeah, it's a no-brainer pickup, OK.
• 38:14
  Lucas Dostal of the Anaheim Ducks is out two weeks with an
• 38:18
  upper body injury. Peter Mrazek came in and then he
• 38:20
  also got injured. So Vezina Ville Husso is the
• 38:24
  starter while he's gone. Look, this is a short term play.
• 38:30
  Yes, 3 Billy, this is a short term play.
• 38:32
  Obviously when the smell comes back he's the clear starter, but
• 38:35
  if you need a goalie in a pinch then free Billias as Jakey said.
• 38:40
  Billy Hoso was my best friend two years ago and then was it 2.
• 38:45
  Years. It was like 3 years ago.
• 38:46
  Yeah, maybe it was. Maybe it was 2022 with that
• 38:50
  incredible run that he had, but wow, was that hype.
• 38:56
  Like I picked him up and it was just automatic.
• 38:58
  I think like he did what Bennington did the year they won
• 39:01
  the Cup. Like it was incredible,
• 39:02
  incredible stuff. I'm not expecting that again
• 39:05
  this year, considering since then I'm he's probably been on
• 39:08
  like 4 different teams than in the NHL.
• 39:10
  And like I, I don't love it. I have him right now because I'm
• 39:14
  in in need of a second goalie and I think it's gonna be a nice
• 39:18
  short term play to be honest. But when Dostall's back, I mean,
• 39:21
  I wouldn't say instant drop if he's super good over this
• 39:25
  stretch, but like like I think it's just.
• 39:29
  We'll see. We had a couple, couple, sorry.
• 39:32
  We had a couple questions in the Discord asking about like what
• 39:34
  to do with Billy, like a lot of a lot of people in 0G and that
• 39:37
  are struggling in their goalie position right now, like they
• 39:39
  have all Mark Syros and they're just looking for some help.
• 39:42
  Would you, would you rather have whoso or like one of the Detroit
• 39:46
  guys, like a Gibson or a Talbot? I'll take the Detroit guys.
• 39:49
  I think this is such a, this is a 2A2 week thing and then he's
• 39:52
  gonna be 0% owned. Like I think there's nothing
• 39:54
  here and say it's a bad pickup for two if you need to go for
• 39:56
  two weeks, you know? You should rather rather you'd
• 39:59
  rather whoso or the Detroit guys.
• 40:02
  Yeah, I would take for two weeks over the try guys first.
• 40:05
  He's gonna get all the starts and I'm just better than Detroit
• 40:08
  this year, so I like him for that.
• 40:10
  I was going to say if you have hella Buck and you need, you
• 40:11
  know, comedy sucks so you want someone to like tide you over
• 40:14
  bit longer who sells a good pick up for that.
• 40:16
  I think he's an instant drop window.
• 40:18
  Still comes back. Wait, So what about?
• 40:22
  What about who's or busy? I'm one busy.
• 40:24
  I'm one busy as well. You're busy.
• 40:26
  OK, who's so or Cooley on the flames?
• 40:30
  So. Oh really?
• 40:33
  I think that she thinks it's funny girls.
• 40:36
  That's it Looks good, but I don't think is lost.
• 40:40
  Who's so? Yeah, but who?
• 40:41
  So we know it's not gonna last. We have a two week timeline and
• 40:43
  then he's. Done.
• 40:44
  You think after two weeks Cooley still is going to be relevant
• 40:47
  enough to, you know, to steal more than one starting week from
• 40:50
  Who's From a Wolf? I don't believe in Cooley.
• 40:52
  I'd say Cooley has like a 10% chance of continuing to be good
• 40:56
  after two weeks and say who is a 0% chance.
• 40:58
  So I'll take the 10% chance over 0.
• 41:00
  Yeah, but I'm, I'm thinking who's gonna be better for these
• 41:03
  next two weeks? And I think this is gonna get
• 41:04
  more starts. Look at what they've been doing.
• 41:07
  Like, it's not even close to me. Like who?
• 41:09
  Said he had one good game before that.
• 41:10
  He let in one goal on one shot. You know when he came.
• 41:13
  To me, I just think it's like Wolf has been really bad and I
• 41:15
  think they wanna just like give him a mental break.
• 41:17
  And they have a guy that's like putting up good performances so
• 41:19
  they're able to like make that swap.
• 41:21
  Whereas who's gonna be like put on an anime Anaheim team that
• 41:24
  could compete in every game and also he's going to be the sure
• 41:26
  thing starter. So I'm Calgary's won like 5 of
• 41:30
  their last six something like that with.
• 41:31
  Cool, but I don't like Calgary so we'll.
• 41:33
  See. No, neither.
• 41:34
  I mean look at that. Neither of these is a long term
• 41:36
  play. I'm just saying in the short
• 41:37
  term, what I rather ride the hot streak of Cooley or go who's so
• 41:41
  for two weeks I'm taking. Cooley Well next game would have
• 41:43
  a good game and Quiz not playing again, you know what I mean?
• 41:46
  Yeah, for sure. So you drop him.
• 41:47
  Yeah, I'm going unbiased and has nothing to do because I have
• 41:51
  them, but I'm going. Who's so bossy, Cooley?
• 41:55
  OK, cool. Alright.
• 41:57
  And then below that to Smith just.
• 41:59
  A second, yeah. Another guy was able to talk
• 42:00
  about but yeah. OK, talking about goalies,
• 42:04
  Tristan Jarry is back from injury and seems to have taken
• 42:07
  the starting job from Arthur's. Shiloh's crazy.
• 42:11
  I mean look, we love a good art tours, but if you're losing the
• 42:14
  starting job in our Lord's year 2025 to Tristan Jarry, then you
• 42:20
  do not deserve the starting job. And that's all.
• 42:23
  And Jerry's been good to be honest.
• 42:24
  Jerry has been doing good. So I like various pickup for for
• 42:28
  0G team if we're talking about those, those low rustic pollies.
• 42:31
  I don't understand anything with this anymore.
• 42:33
  First of all, I don't understand why they're so good this year
• 42:35
  and they were so bad last year. Second of all, I don't
• 42:38
  understand why Jerry's serviceable this year and was
• 42:40
  abysmal the past three years. And third of all, what happened
• 42:43
  to She Loves? He was so good.
• 42:45
  It's you picked him up. Yes, that's actually it.
• 42:48
  I don't like to say like, oh, like this is because of like of
• 42:51
  me that this is happening. But no, it's my fault guys.
• 42:53
  I'm sorry. Everybody blame Jakey.
• 42:57
  Some people. I I picked them up for like 8
• 43:00
  fab at the beginning of the year.
• 43:01
  He was amazing before instant garbage instant and then same
• 43:06
  thing just happened. I picked him up for 9.
• 43:07
  Fab for nobody else there, Skinner, who Kevin then picked
• 43:11
  up against me last week and got a shutout against me to flip
• 43:14
  like 3 goalie categories. So that was just awful.
• 43:17
  Well, she loves letting 6 or letting four goals on ten shots.
• 43:23
  The goalie starts at deleted like a combined fifty goals.
• 43:27
  Yeah, it was crazy. It was really.
• 43:29
  Bad. Everything about last week was
• 43:31
  just horrible. Absolutely awful so.
• 43:34
  I have to say it was hilarious, like I think going into Sunday.
• 43:37
  For you. Look at the Sunday I had just
• 43:41
  streamed Stuart Skinner for the shutout on Saturday and then
• 43:44
  Jake was like behind in goals against average saves, save
• 43:48
  percentage and he had and he we were tied on wins.
• 43:52
  And then but last Sunday it was like not many options for goalie
• 43:56
  streaming. So Jackie picked up Mrazek and
• 43:58
  who so to to make sure he gets to whoever ends up starting that
• 44:02
  game. And then Marusic ended up
• 44:04
  started, let it in, like let it in five goals, got pulled, got
• 44:07
  hurt. Whoso came in letting letting
• 44:09
  the only shot he got, he was the goal against.
• 44:14
  Like I have to overtake him. I needed 11 saves and I barely
• 44:18
  got it. He got like 13 / a full game
• 44:22
  between two bullies. It was actually the most.
• 44:26
  Interesting the way he's not gonna overtake me and says it's
• 44:29
  absolutely. Improper nerve wracking until
• 44:31
  like halfway through the third it was.
• 44:33
  Awful. Absolutely awful.
• 44:37
  OK, talking about absolutely awful of the Nashville
• 44:41
  Predators. We've got Jonathan Marchessault
• 44:44
  back from injury and bumped Brady Shay off power play one.
• 44:48
  He's been pretty brutal this year.
• 44:50
  I don't think people had too many expectations because he was
• 44:53
  also brutal last year, but still didn't expect him to be this
• 44:55
  bad. I will say I'm playing him this
• 44:57
  week so expect a big week from him.
• 45:01
  I think Marshall is another guy that like is rumored to be
• 45:03
  traded. It's like him, it's Stamkos,
• 45:04
  it's Rhino Riley, like all of these guys are all the the
• 45:07
  competing contenders that want vets that to push them over the
• 45:11
  edge. Like these are the guys that are
• 45:12
  going to be on on everybody's watch list.
• 45:14
  So maybe better they had for Marshall.
• 45:15
  But right now I'm like, not too thrilled about it.
• 45:18
  Yeah, OK. Should we dive into our Would
• 45:21
  You rathers? Yes, we should.
• 45:23
  For anybody's first time listening, I come up with five
• 45:27
  would you rathers one of every position, so left wing, right
• 45:30
  wing, centre goalie and defenseman.
• 45:32
  And my goal is to always split the difference.
• 45:34
  Get the Jake and Josh to disagree on this.
• 45:37
  Would you rather and then if so, I will be the tiebreaker.
• 45:41
  So let's get started. We're starting with the centre
• 45:44
  position. We're starting hot.
• 45:45
  I hope you guys didn't peak but get your comparison apps ready
• 45:49
  to good. I'm talking the highest regard
• 45:55
  name. I don't know what I was going to
• 45:56
  say, but this guys on fire after one game.
• 45:59
  Would you rather Josh Norris no like God or Nazem Kadri rest of
• 46:02
  the season? OK, Yeah.
• 46:07
  So I'm I'm where did you go? Not again.
• 46:11
  Hello. Oh my God, Kevin this happened
• 46:15
  to figure out his his technical stuff he dropped like.
• 46:18
  Discuss. OK, so.
• 46:24
  I. Cannot believe this just
• 46:26
  happened again and also would like to say that OHP hello
• 46:32
  welcome back. So yeah, my sorry, my choice
• 46:35
  here is not gonna be the highest regard player.
• 46:40
  It's gonna be Nazem Kadri. And I'll tell you why.
• 46:44
  I'll tell you why. I actually think that me why
• 46:47
  would have like some sort of guarantee for the next two
• 46:50
  months that Norris is going to play every game.
• 46:53
  I would choose Norris. Thing Who do you want on your
• 46:56
  team, baby? Well, that's it because due to
• 46:59
  the fact that he's literally always hurt, it's just too much
• 47:02
  of like an unnecessary premium. So I'm gonna go Kanji, but I
• 47:05
  think like his averages are more like Norris's averages are gonna
• 47:09
  be more desirable because essentially they're the same
• 47:11
  player except. Doesn't hit.
• 47:15
  Better hits. That's exactly it.
• 47:16
  So really, you're not getting that much worse with Kadri, and
• 47:18
  Kadri is pretty good at staying healthy in the recent years, so
• 47:22
  I'm just gonna go crazy. Mother after you just jinxed
• 47:25
  them. Yeah, I'm a I'm also going
• 47:28
  Kadri. It's I've been on the Josh
• 47:30
  Norris train. I've I've drafted him super
• 47:32
  late. He's injured the whole time and
• 47:33
  then he comes back and he gets you a 3.9 and you think, oh, I
• 47:36
  made the smartest pick of the whole draft and then he gets
• 47:38
  injured a week later. So I'm going Kadri.
• 47:41
  I just think this guys cooked honestly.
• 47:42
  Like I I would like if I had countries one offered me.
• 47:45
  Yeah, if I had country someone offered me Norris for him.
• 47:47
  I wouldn't accept that. Look if I can pick up and if I
• 47:50
  could. Pick up Norris for free, then.
• 47:51
  I'm taking Norris easily because I think he's a great player, but
• 47:54
  I'm not trading any assets for him when I know that he's going
• 47:57
  to get injured. I'm I'm not banking on the
• 47:59
  injury again. Listen, if it happens, I'll just
• 48:02
  IR stash going to pick up somebody else.
• 48:04
  But I want him on my team when he's healthy because I think
• 48:06
  he's better than I think he's better than Kadri.
• 48:08
  I think rest of season I'm more excited about this Buffalo team
• 48:12
  being healthy and developing some chemistry together.
• 48:15
  And college is not playing with anybody remotely close to as
• 48:18
  talented as Tage Thompson. So.
• 48:20
  I mean, another Neither Jackie or I are arguing with you that
• 48:24
  when healthy, we prefer Norris. We're saying that we have zero
• 48:26
  trust in Norris's health and like, if you get an office for
• 48:30
  free, I'm fully on board. I love normal things, a great
• 48:32
  player, but I'm not like trading country for him.
• 48:35
  Well, I would trade Kadri for Norris.
• 48:37
  So there you have it. Alright, OK, let's move on to
• 48:40
  the defenseman position. This one I hope is going to be a
• 48:44
  decision like a tough decision for both of you, but try to keep
• 48:49
  the home or the Homer inside. But would you rather Jacob
• 48:52
  Chikurin or Lane Hudson rest of season?
• 48:55
  This one's easy for me, actually.
• 48:57
  I'm going chicken. I've been so, so proven.
• 49:00
  I don't know, I, I wasn't like super antigen, but I did not
• 49:03
  think he had this in him, honestly.
• 49:04
  Yeah, I think you just had a few.
• 49:06
  He was great on Arizona, right? And then he had some down years,
• 49:10
  didn't do great in Ottawa. But I mean, he was buried
• 49:12
  underneath Sanders and Shabbat and then he goes to Washington
• 49:16
  and was buried under Carlson. But then, you know, started
• 49:18
  showing that he's better than an old Carlson.
• 49:20
  And yeah, all that to say, he's been absolutely insane and
• 49:24
  completely, you know, completely outdid what I think he would do.
• 49:28
  And to me, it's a no brainer. As much as I love Lane Hunt and
• 49:30
  I think it's chicken for. Sure.
• 49:31
  Yeah, I'm with you there. The I mean, the short
• 49:36
  discrepancy is almost two shots a game.
• 49:38
  He hits non negligible hits like over hit a game.
• 49:43
  And I mean, like, yeah, he's been so, so good.
• 49:46
  Like this is someone who at one point was regarded as like one
• 49:49
  of the next big things for NHL defenseman.
• 49:52
  And while I really think that when Hudson is the same as ages
• 49:57
  Chagrin that he'll have accomplished more in his career,
• 49:59
  for this specific year, I'm going to take chicken.
• 50:03
  OK, I knew it was going to be close, but I didn't know you
• 50:06
  guys were gonna be like. So in agreement of chicken,
• 50:08
  because I think going into the season I was the highest on
• 50:11
  chicken. I really wanted him just because
• 50:12
  I believed in the P1. And then he did an end up
• 50:14
  getting it, which is like a huge, huge downgrade for his
• 50:17
  value. But now that he has it, I think
• 50:20
  it's an exceptional player. So but would you rather Chicken
• 50:22
  or Haskin if I have to change? Chicken.
• 50:27
  Yeah, chicken. What about Yoshi?
• 50:31
  Chicken. Yeah, I'm still taking chicken.
• 50:33
  OK, what about Morrissey? Because now we're now we're up
• 50:35
  there. Morris.
• 50:36
  I'm thinking Morrissey. OK, because Morris is like top
• 50:40
  five defensemen right now, so. This is the best chickens ever
• 50:43
  been his entire career. He's got 23 and 26.
• 50:45
  He's on pace for 73 and he has never, believe it or not, he's
• 50:50
  never hit 50 points in a season. He technically would have lost
• 50:53
  here if he didn't miss any games.
• 50:55
  He was on a pace to do better. That being said, I really think
• 50:59
  that I really think that children's awesome this year.
• 51:02
  Just the category coverage and the points, it's great.
• 51:04
  Would you? Would you trade Jacob Chicken
• 51:06
  for Adam Fox right now? No, I'd rather have chicken.
• 51:12
  Really. It's just cause it's like a
• 51:14
  question mark as to whether or not he's coming back, you know,
• 51:17
  in a timely manner that's gonna help you.
• 51:21
  Like, healthy. Yeah.
• 51:22
  Fox, like, for sure. Like if he was healthy right
• 51:24
  now. And the fact that I'm even
• 51:26
  considering that in question means like, it's like, I believe
• 51:29
  in chicken a lot. I think there's the obvious
• 51:32
  Makar Hughes. I was gonna say, like, right
• 51:35
  now, the only names that are that I didn't name that I think
• 51:38
  you are ahead of chicken is Makar Hughes, Werenski Daleen.
• 51:43
  That's four. Yeah.
• 51:45
  And then it's like, you know, we're talking about cider, we're
• 51:48
  talking about Morrissey. That's five.
• 51:51
  That's 6. There's not many other names
• 51:56
  after that. I mean Bouchard, Bouchard I
• 52:01
  would take over chicken. OK, fair enough.
• 52:03
  Yeah, I would take. I think I would also, yeah.
• 52:11
  I mean, honestly, I it's a, it's a really good point.
• 52:13
  There's not many that I would that I would take.
• 52:16
  I mean, gospel has been on a tear, but I'm still taking
• 52:18
  tripping over gospel for sure. Yeah, it's not even close to
• 52:21
  what's interesting about this. And we'll move on.
• 52:23
  I guess we're pretty shortly. Well, Sanderson, I'd rather over
• 52:27
  chicken as well. OK, fair enough.
• 52:28
  I will say that I think that kind of scares me about
• 52:32
  tricking, though, is that I'm weirded out that him and Carlson
• 52:37
  have both been able to like coexist and be so productive.
• 52:40
  That's like I. Mean Carlson is not on PP1
• 52:42
  anymore, so not really coexisting anymore.
• 52:46
  Absolutely fair, but like just to have like both defensemen
• 52:49
  score like well over a point per game over the last month yeah,
• 52:53
  is something that it's it's a bit sauce.
• 52:56
  Toby said that both could be sell highs.
• 52:57
  I think John Carlson is a cell high as well.
• 52:59
  If you can trade him on the value that he just had that
• 53:03
  while the fact that he's not a P1 is, is a thing now.
• 53:05
  So I I would definitely try to sell John Carlson, but you want
• 53:09
  to get fair value as well, so. Yeah, and I'm definitely taking
• 53:12
  chicken overcrossing. Yeah, let's hop on to this next
• 53:16
  one while we wait for Josh reconnect.
• 53:17
  But the I'm talking, would you rather Lucas Raymond or Kirill
• 53:21
  Marchenko? Rest of season 2 right wingers.
• 53:25
  So this is a shame Josh disappeared into the Upside Down
• 53:29
  because this one to me is. You Stranger Things season out
• 53:33
  right now. Go watch on Netflix.
• 53:35
  Not a sponsor, but you could be if you want to be yet.
• 53:40
  So I think, you know, OK, so I like to just like preface,
• 53:46
  preface, preface this with saying that originally like my
• 53:50
  instinct went to Marchenko right away.
• 53:52
  Yeah. But looking more into this, I
• 53:56
  the reason I chose that is because I was convinced he was
• 53:58
  just gonna have much better shots on average this season.
• 54:01
  But it turns out that the receiver season average for
• 54:04
  shots is like only .4 difference.
• 54:06
  And I think I believe in Detroit's offensive prowess more
• 54:09
  so then Columbus, even though Columbus is like a like a good
• 54:13
  offensive team. I just think Detroit's like a
• 54:15
  great offensive team. Yeah, there are troubles are
• 54:17
  gonna be shutting down and like letting in less goals.
• 54:21
  So I'm gonna go with Raymond on this one suit.
• 54:26
  This is the tightest one so far today.
• 54:27
  Though I wonder what Josh would have chosen.
• 54:30
  I guess we'll have to hear it if he ends up making it back, but
• 54:33
  if not, we'll just finish without him.
• 54:35
  I think it's very close. I think similar archetype of
• 54:37
  player, right? So like, they're both kind of
• 54:39
  like points shots, guys that are very prolific.
• 54:42
  I'm banking on the Detroit power play being better rest of season
• 54:45
  than the Columbus power play. I think that's a safe bet.
• 54:48
  So I'm also leaning Raymond, but honestly, do I expect one to be
• 54:52
  hotter than the other at a certain point during the season?
• 54:53
  Yes, I guess. I guess we'll have to see how it
• 54:57
  shakes out. But I want Lucas Raymond on my
• 54:59
  team. But it's, it's a we're
• 55:00
  splitting, we're splitting feathers here.
• 55:02
  Yeah, we're splitting feathers, Feathers.
• 55:04
  Feathers are split in big time. I think we're gonna move on to
• 55:09
  the next one. Wow, very cool message from the
• 55:14
  upside down. Very will buyers of you, Josh.
• 55:17
  He chooses Marchenko. Ooh, OK, so he doesn't believe
• 55:20
  in the he doesn't believe in Raymond at all.
• 55:24
  So let that be on record that Josh hates Lucas Raymond, but a
• 55:29
  lot. Let's get let's get to this next
• 55:31
  one. This is a blockbuster.
• 55:32
  We're talking about first round caliber players here, but maybe
• 55:35
  this guy was not drafted in your first round.
• 55:37
  Would you rather Mikko Rantanen, famous Colorado Avalanche or
• 55:43
  Caril Capri Zov, famous Minnesota Wilder?
• 55:47
  Honestly, I, I, I was confused by the way you said it.
• 55:51
  If he's back, he's. Gone Baltimore.
• 55:56
  Why I'm so sorry, so sorry everyone.
• 55:59
  My Wi-Fi cut out, you know, as if to this, this is a big
• 56:03
  technical difficulties day for us.
• 56:06
  What did you like to know? Yeah.
• 56:08
  So we got your message from the Upside Down and you chose
• 56:11
  Marchenko. Kevin and I both chose Lucas
• 56:14
  Raymond. Of course.
• 56:16
  My logic was I think the Detroit power play is going to be better
• 56:19
  than Columbus power play rest of season, and I feel like that's a
• 56:21
  little bit of a tiebreaker for me between the two of them
• 56:23
  because they're basically the same player.
• 56:27
  I think that's fair. I'd say one thing for in favor
• 56:30
  of Marchenko is that he's, I think, much more talismanic than
• 56:33
  Raymond is for this. Team and we do like talismanic
• 56:36
  players. Yeah, but I can't fault, I think
• 56:38
  it's a really good one. So splitting the difference was
• 56:41
  a good move. Yes, alright.
• 56:43
  And I already announced the number 4 Josh.
• 56:45
  So what's, what's your take? Jake was about to give his, then
• 56:48
  you joined so you interrupted him basically.
• 56:50
  OK. Thank you.
• 56:50
  Go ahead. I don't wanna interrupt.
• 56:53
  So I think it's funny because I was just gonna say you you
• 56:57
  temporarily looked like a cyberpunk over there.
• 57:01
  Like, you know, like the those super pixelated.
• 57:04
  Oh my God, I'm having a NFTS blank right now.
• 57:07
  Yes, it looks like an NFT. Check out our site or we'll be
• 57:13
  selling NFT's of me. We will not be selling FT's
• 57:17
  guys. What do you mean 100 million
• 57:21
  earth isn't a good price? Alrighty, OK, OK, well, you're
• 57:30
  back now. You're no more cyberpunk.
• 57:32
  My choice here is gonna be I. I think I'm gonna have to go
• 57:41
  with Kaprizov because I believe in the shots and the points more
• 57:50
  so than with Rantanen. Rantanen's like ranking as of
• 57:54
  the last few days. If you play in a Pimms league,
• 57:55
  it's probably gonna be 1 because he decided to be like the crazy,
• 58:01
  like George Larock, 2.0 It's it's nuts.
• 58:05
  And Despite that, being able to still produce so elite
• 58:08
  offensively is quite special. But if St., If Minnesota is able
• 58:15
  to do what they're going to say Saint Paul, because we called
• 58:18
  Walstead or John called Walstead the wall from Saint Paul
• 58:20
  earlier. I love that everybody.
• 58:21
  Called him that, yeah. So.
• 58:24
  For the first time. I came up with it.
• 58:29
  TM But all this to say, I just believe in Kaprizov points more
• 58:34
  so than rounds. And then we could say that, you
• 58:35
  know, in the past rounds and I scored 100 plus points in his
• 58:38
  career, but it's a bit of a different situation now.
• 58:41
  I'm not saying he can't do it again, but I think that Kaprizov
• 58:45
  path to chasing that milestone is a little bit more clear.
• 58:48
  So that's my choice for Kaprizov there.
• 58:51
  Yeah, I'm going to go with ranting and actually I know this
• 58:54
  may take. Yeah, this might be a hot take.
• 58:57
  I know the were right choice might be Kaprizov, but ignoring
• 59:02
  the Pimms, obviously that was random just happened because he
• 59:04
  was playing me. So let's pretend that didn't
• 59:06
  happen like I do. In terms of shots, yes, Kaprizov
• 59:10
  has the edge in shots, but by like one shot a game.
• 59:12
  So that's that's decent for sure decent.
• 59:14
  I'd say. I'd say the biggest difference
• 59:15
  for me is first of all, I think the gap in points is not going
• 59:18
  to be as big as everyone thought going into the season.
• 59:20
  People are penciling Caprice, obviously, like 1.5 guy who's
• 59:23
  going to challenge Kucherov, McDavid, McKinnon, you know,
• 59:26
  like those types of guys. I don't think he's doing that
• 59:28
  this year. I think he's going to be maybe
• 59:30
  1.3, which is still obviously unreal, but like there's there's
• 59:33
  a tear break there and then people penciled in Renton is
• 59:35
  maybe just a point per game 1.1 and I think can be higher than
• 59:38
  that. I think is gonna be like 1.2.
• 59:40
  So you might be saying like, OK, Josh, you gave Capris off the
• 59:42
  edge on points and you given the edge on shots.
• 59:44
  Are you choosing granted in? And the biggest reason is the
• 59:46
  power play. Look, they're not going to keep
• 59:48
  scoring. He's not gonna keep getting like
• 59:50
  .8 power play points per game, right?
• 59:52
  But even if he slows down to half that pace, he's going to
• 59:54
  get .4. That's like, that's not crazy to
• 59:57
  say. Like you take off .4 of his
• 59:59
  power play points. I think it's like super
• 1:00:01
  reasonable to say that he gets the money.
• 1:00:03
  Hopefully though, Josh. Or at the very least he's going
• 1:00:06
  to get more power play points than Kaprizov.
• 1:00:08
  So because of that, I think that a lot of leagues count that,
• 1:00:11
  account that and I think it's a really hard cat to hit.
• 1:00:14
  So I think it's worth it for the other categories.
• 1:00:17
  I'm I'm going to preserve so tiebreaker here and the logic is
• 1:00:22
  my logic as to why I'm going Kaprizov is the same reason why
• 1:00:25
  you just like explain to go Rantanen is because right now
• 1:00:29
  preserves that 1.2 points per game and .4 power play points.
• 1:00:33
  Random is at 1.3 points per game, .7 power play points.
• 1:00:36
  Nobody's averaging .7 points for rest of the season.
• 1:00:39
  If he if he comes down 2.4, let's say, which is already
• 1:00:42
  elite and they just cancel each other out on power play, then
• 1:00:45
  he's not. He's at basically a point per
• 1:00:47
  game. So I can see him getting maybe
• 1:00:50
  slightly more points than crazy, but I think they're gonna be
• 1:00:53
  basically identical. And what he's doing now is what
• 1:00:57
  I expect Capris off to be doing what he's gonna be taking .3 off
• 1:01:01
  of his point total, right. So I see him getting maybe 1.1
• 1:01:05
  points per game, getting 1.3, both getting like .4 power play
• 1:01:08
  points and get the extra shot. So if you want to playoff,
• 1:01:12
  playoff games, Heartbreakers, like that's a separate question,
• 1:01:15
  but the rest of season, I'd rather Kaprizov.
• 1:01:17
  And I mean, come playoff time, I'd rather have the extra game,
• 1:01:21
  the extra games in two different weeks for around and then for 10
• 1:01:25
  copies off. So if that's what you want to
• 1:01:26
  base it on, then I'm actually going right in.
• 1:01:28
  But the player that I believe is gonna have the most success rest
• 1:01:31
  of season is Caprice V. Yeah, no, I agree with that.
• 1:01:34
  I think I would forgot to mention the playoff schedule is
• 1:01:36
  like one of the big tie Breakers for me.
• 1:01:37
  But it definitely is when you have players that are dissimilar
• 1:01:40
  you with the guy who has extra games.
• 1:01:42
  I think both players are first round picks this year basically.
• 1:01:45
  Like granted in probably then either the late 1st in your
• 1:01:48
  league or if you're if people were worried about anything
• 1:01:51
  before the season, right? We didn't really know what to
• 1:01:53
  expect given what happened at the end of last season.
• 1:01:55
  I think you probably got in the second round and you're probably
• 1:01:59
  laughing. Yeah.
• 1:02:03
  Alright, what's the what's the last one you got for us?
• 1:02:05
  The last one talking goalie. Would you rather Joey the Chord
• 1:02:13
  or Spencer Knight rest of season?
• 1:02:16
  Maya super biased opinion is I'm going to court and at.
• 1:02:21
  Least put it out there your. Supervisor, I have the code on
• 1:02:23
  my team. I am.
• 1:02:24
  I believe in him a lot as a goalie.
• 1:02:26
  I think Knight is also an incredible goalie.
• 1:02:28
  I just, I don't believe in this Chicago team at all.
• 1:02:30
  And I know it's already 1/4 of the way through the season and
• 1:02:32
  they're, you know, they're still doing decently.
• 1:02:35
  Connor Bedard is the real deal, that 100%.
• 1:02:37
  But I just don't think his research, his not resurgence,
• 1:02:40
  his breakout is enough to drag such a bad team into being this
• 1:02:46
  relevant. Like they're not making the
• 1:02:47
  playoffs there. There's just no chance.
• 1:02:49
  You know, Seattle is, I think they have a chance to make the
• 1:02:52
  playoffs. I don't think gonna be
• 1:02:53
  necessarily top three in their division, but I think they can
• 1:02:55
  be a wild card team. So I just think based on the
• 1:02:57
  team, I'd prefer Seattle and I think they're equivalent in
• 1:03:01
  terms of kind of skill. Was extremely tight.
• 1:03:07
  So I think for me, I'm going to choose like, OK, when it comes
• 1:03:14
  down to it in the playoffs in your fantasy leagues, I think
• 1:03:17
  you're gonna be happier owning Decord just because they they
• 1:03:20
  may be making somewhat of a push.
• 1:03:22
  And I don't know if Chicago's gonna be in the picture.
• 1:03:25
  You know, that being said, if they are, I think like just, you
• 1:03:29
  know, it could be really good to own night because like we Knight
• 1:03:33
  was drafted to be an amazing goalie.
• 1:03:34
  He was like the highest drafted goalie I think, you know, since
• 1:03:39
  like Vasilevsky or something. And then then, then Walstad also
• 1:03:42
  was went really high well from Saint Paul.
• 1:03:44
  So I'm just going to go with my instincts here because of how
• 1:03:48
  close I think this is. I think you're going to be
• 1:03:50
  happier with Night rest of the season.
• 1:03:53
  Well, the difference again, I don't have a lot.
• 1:03:55
  Of conviction about this, this is like really close and I hear
• 1:03:57
  you on all fronts, Josh. I think Seattle may be a better
• 1:04:00
  team but the ceiling is higher with night but the floor is
• 1:04:04
  definitely lower and I just think it averages out to being
• 1:04:06
  slightly better than the expected value for discord.
• 1:04:10
  I'm going Spencer night as well and but I I but I really think
• 1:04:15
  these guys could be like back-to-back end rankings, like
• 1:04:17
  if I had to rank them on a scale of like 1 to 10, like I'm giving
• 1:04:20
  decor like a 7 and Spencer like a 7.2 type of thing.
• 1:04:23
  You know what I mean? Like it's, it's, it's it's very.
• 1:04:26
  Close 2 is on a 10 scale on a 10 scale.
• 1:04:29
  It would be too much. So I think .2 is a reasonable
• 1:04:32
  level of just above. But yeah, I the reason is I
• 1:04:37
  think they're both gonna be really good for saves because
• 1:04:40
  they play on teams that are, I would say like average or
• 1:04:42
  slightly below. And I expect Spencer Night to
• 1:04:46
  get more wins, although it might be a few more.
• 1:04:50
  Yeah, I, I think I, I actually like Spencer Night and
• 1:04:54
  Blackhawks. And I think right now they're
• 1:04:55
  hot. And I think maybe he accumulates
• 1:04:57
  more wins in the near future that balances out, made the slow
• 1:05:00
  down later in the season. But uh, yeah, that's that's kind
• 1:05:03
  of my take. Yeah.
• 1:05:04
  You know what, one more like, I guess caveat to to my
• 1:05:07
  perspective is that if you're league penalizes you for losses,
• 1:05:11
  then I think I would give the edge to the chord actually.
• 1:05:15
  But I also think he's going to get like I think he's going to
• 1:05:18
  get more wins because like I think they're just gonna play
• 1:05:20
  him a bit more. Like I think we'll get more
• 1:05:22
  games. And if he gets more games as
• 1:05:24
  percentages are gonna be more volatile, the average is, like I
• 1:05:26
  said, are gonna be slightly better.
• 1:05:27
  But if it gets penalized for losses, I think that that Decor
• 1:05:30
  is going to be the better one to own.
• 1:05:32
  I still go night, but yeah, yeah, all right.
• 1:05:37
  Last three, Kevin. The last three were wild, even
• 1:05:41
  that they were all really good but but as soon as Josh
• 1:05:45
  disappeared in the upside down you were like alright, let's
• 1:05:47
  drop this ghost. Pepper all time, baby.
