  Today we're going to be doing our Week 20 buy low, sell high
• 0:50
  trade targets. Supposed that was on purpose.
• 0:53
  That's supposed episode of episode, last episode probably
• 0:56
  for buy low, sell high, yeah. Yeah, that's sad.
• 1:00
  What a year we. Had honestly.
• 1:02
  So much good advice has been given on this show.
• 1:06
  Little we do. So little, so little of it has
• 1:08
  been taken. OK.
• 1:10
  All their loss, No, But yeah, it's been a lot of fun and as I
• 1:16
  say, hopefully. By the time you're listening to
• 1:17
  this, your league trade deadline hasn't passed yet.
• 1:20
  I know probably a lot of leagues the trade deadline has already
• 1:22
  passed by the time listening to this, but if you're Championship
• 1:25
  is a week 25 it's probably still open.
• 1:27
  Yeah. So let's get one last one last.
• 1:30
  File and even if your championship week, even if your
• 1:33
  trade deadline has already passed, this is still a good
• 1:35
  indicator of what to expect from these guys rest of season and
• 1:38
  you can kind of mentally prepare your team and structure in a
• 1:40
  certain way. True.
• 1:41
  So it's still still valuable information.
• 1:44

• 2:02
  What? The heck was even that?
• 2:04
  Please. Daddy chill.
• 2:08
  Alright, on that note, my speaking my last Bilo of the
• 2:12
  season. Yeah, just to be clear, this is
• 2:14
  not the last episode. We're still we're sticking
• 2:16
  around. Just wouldn't be the last.
• 2:18
  Buy low, sell high. So it's not like don't cry
• 2:22
  because it's over, smile because it happened.
• 2:23
  Like no, it's still happening, guys.
• 2:25
  Don't cry because it's still happening.
• 2:28
  My Bilo this week is Jake the Snake Gensel.
• 2:32
  That is actually. Like, no, I just think anyway,
• 2:36
  yeah. Jacqueline Snook, Yeah.
• 2:43
  We're here every week, folks. Yeah, so over the past month,
• 2:48
  Jake Ansell is averaging .67 points per game.
• 2:51
  Now I'll give this a disclaimer of all the past month.
• 2:53
  Averages are skewed because of the two week break, but but
• 2:56
  still, it shows that he hasn't been doing great since coming
• 2:58
  back and right before the break. But even on the season he's only
• 3:01
  at .98 points per game. His shots on goal are also below
• 3:04
  3 on the season. His skill in deployment is just
• 3:06
  too good to be anything less than over a point per game and
• 3:08
  over three shots on goal per game.
• 3:10
  Their power play has also been a bit quiet lately, but it's one
• 3:12
  of the best in the league. I expect him to really heat up
• 3:14
  over the next few weeks and finish the season really strong,
• 3:16
  so if you can get him at a slight discount now is your best
• 3:18
  chance to do so. So some targets I'm thinking of
• 3:21
  on the same team. I've got Brandon Hagel, I've got
• 3:25
  Esper Brat and Alex Debrincat. Hmm, this is big.
• 3:29
  What do you guys think? I love him as a buy low.
• 3:31
  He's a fantastic elite player. You saw it in the Four Nations
• 3:34
  right? Like he was so good.
• 3:36
  I like the targets too. Do you think it's usually easier
• 3:39
  or harder to trade someone on the same real life team?
• 3:42
  Gets harder, Yeah. I feel like there's more, it's
• 3:46
  easier to like directly compare. So someone else could be like,
• 3:50
  oh, he's clearly better, clearly worse, you know, Whereas when
• 3:52
  they're across different teams, he could be like, oh, I think
• 3:54
  this team is gonna do better so I can make the trade.
• 3:56
  So I think it is a more difficult.
• 3:58
  But I thought it was interesting when I was looking at potential
• 4:00
  targets to include a guy who's just, I think doesn't actually
• 4:03
  have as good deployment on the team and isn't as good of a
• 4:06
  player, but it's on the same team and is doing better so.
• 4:09
  I like it and all the targets are great.
• 4:11
  I I think they could get it done actually.
• 4:14
  Yeah, absolutely. Yeah.
• 4:15
  I think Gentle honestly is one of the better fantasy assets.
• 4:19
  I think he's kind of like been low key the whole season.
• 4:21
  But on Tampa, I mean, I just love that that line one stack
• 4:25
  and on the power play, argue with the best power play in the
• 4:27
  game. So I've been trying to get
• 4:28
  dental on my team personally for a long, let's say a long part of
• 4:32
  the season. But that's not English.
• 4:35
  It's not. Too bad.
• 4:36
  But no shot. No shot, no shot.
• 4:41
  You know, you know, listen to our previous episode.
• 4:44
  But yeah, no, I I love this pic. I think all the guys you
• 4:47
  mentioned can get it done too, especially, like Brad.
• 4:49
  Brad has been like, pretty nuts lately.
• 4:51
  Yeah. I mean.
• 4:52
  He's been having a yes for summer for.
• 4:53
  Sure, yeah. He's been consistently ourself
• 4:57
  high kind of theme, I would say. Yeah, I've hated on this read
• 5:02
  the whole season, but I would love to do that.
• 5:03
  Trade, yeah, I, yeah, I mean, to bring it, I don't even think
• 5:08
  it's necessarily a stretch, I think.
• 5:10
  There's also been on fire to all.
• 5:11
  These guys have been. Super hot.
• 5:13
  Yeah. These are all just like
• 5:14
  realistic, very good targets for sure.
• 5:17
  Almost like they did a great job on this job.
• 5:21
  No notes. My turn.
• 5:24
  It is all poetic that my last by law of the season is somebody on
• 5:29
  my very small hate list. But it is Mark Stone of the
• 5:33
  Vegas Golden Knights. Wow.
• 5:35
  Yeah, can be used as a verb or a noun.
• 5:37
  Yeah, literally. We're seeing teams mark stone
• 5:40
  their way into the playoffs. Yeah, speak with all these
• 5:42
  injured guys near the. Line Yeah, we were negotiating a
• 5:45
  trade before and then, like Josh, tried to mark stone me out
• 5:48
  of our friendship. Jake will be on LTIR until
• 5:52
  further notice. But what you need to know from
• 5:57
  Mark Stone is that he's a consistent point per game player
• 6:01
  basically or above honestly, this season he's been at above
• 6:04
  point per game, but right now he's at 0.5 points per game
• 6:06
  where the last two weeks over the last month he's below point
• 6:09
  per game as well. So he's not like honestly bottom
• 6:11
  of the barrel low currently, but I still think that he has a
• 6:15
  significant room to work his way up to where he's going to be for
• 6:18
  the rest of the season. Vegas has a nice playoff
• 6:20
  schedule as well. He has no power play points
• 6:23
  recently as well. So I think Vegas, you know,
• 6:26
  we're gonna start clicking there.
• 6:28
  He's averaging 0.5 power play points on the season.
• 6:30
  So which is honestly illiterate. Elite.
• 6:34
  Yeah, that's like, I don't know if he'll it'll last there, but
• 6:36
  it will be above .4, which is already elite in itself, but it
• 6:39
  has no points recently in the power over the last two weeks.
• 6:41
  So with the Four Nations break, obviously that kind of throws a
• 6:44
  wrench in it a little bit. That's a little skewed, but I
• 6:48
  think I like him a lot for averaging over point per game of
• 6:51
  the season either. You can get them for cheap right
• 6:53
  now because if you look at this game log, it does not look too
• 6:56
  intimidating. You know, he has kind of like a
• 6:57
  negative connotation to him. People know he's like, you know,
• 7:00
  not really a peripheral guy and always injured, especially this
• 7:04
  time of year. So maybe somebody believes in
• 7:06
  the bad juju and trying to get him off the roster.
• 7:08
  You listen to this podcast, you probably hate him too.
• 7:12
  He's only 82% owned, so that also shows you that he's not the
• 7:16
  type of guy that's roster in every league, even though he has
• 7:18
  like somewhat of a name value. But I think you can get him for
• 7:20
  pretty cheap right now. Like names that I'm trying to
• 7:22
  trade for him are Matt Duchene, Dylan Strome who's been on fire,
• 7:26
  Alex the Brain Cut who Josh mentioned, and even Brad Marshan
• 7:29
  who's also been on fire. Yeah, I think all these guys are
• 7:32
  producing way over point per game currently and I would take
• 7:35
  Mark Stone ahead of them rest of season.
• 7:37
  Yeah, totally fair, totally fair.
• 7:39
  Obviously the .5 is like, yeah, that's not a thing.
• 7:43
  He's just like one of the more elite power play points.
• 7:47
  You've been .5 like points currently. .5 Power.
• 7:50
  Point by point, That's crazy because that's on the season,
• 7:53
  right? It's not like it's just a recent
• 7:55
  like small. Sample.
• 7:55
  So I almost like think that they're not gonna like put it on
• 7:58
  LTIR again, like. I think, I mean, he's not hurt,
• 8:00
  right? Now exactly exactly find away.
• 8:05
  Well, it does sound like. It always.
• 8:06
  Is not going to go searching for an injury, you know what I mean?
• 8:09
  Like. No, Kelly Mccrimmon's gonna show
• 8:11
  up at his house. The crowbar.
• 8:13
  What time of the year? Mark.
• 8:15
  It only makes sense to put him on the LIRR if they can use the
• 8:18
  cap space to make a move the trade deadlines next week.
• 8:21
  Yeah, pretty much. And they already have Theodore,
• 8:22
  who got Mark Stone. So yeah.
• 8:25
  Mark, Stone Mark Stove. That's the targets are great and
• 8:33
  I all fair and I think all realistic as well.
• 8:38
  I don't know anything else to say really.
• 8:39
  Like exactly what I said? Yeah.
• 8:41
  No, no. Let me put it this way.
• 8:45
  Marshall was on the Cliff. There, here we go.
• 8:48
  I also think though that I mean, I don't know when he came back
• 8:53
  in relation to the injury, but he had a pretty brutal injury at
• 8:55
  some point. Yeah, kept him out for awhile
• 8:57
  and he hasn't been really the same since then.
• 8:59
  But like just further out in players are from their injuries,
• 9:03
  the better they end up being, right.
• 9:04
  So that's like another sign pointing him to to improving the
• 9:07
  rest of the season, kind of getting back to the self from
• 9:10
  the beginning. Yep.
• 9:12
  OK, my by low Some Toronto Maple Leafs fans call him a poor man's
• 9:21
  Bobby McMahon. No one has ever said.
• 9:25
  That. Only do you know that?
• 9:29
  But but around these parts, he's known as former first overall
• 9:34
  pick. Your eyes Lefkofsky.
• 9:37
  Cool. No applause.
• 9:39
  If so, If your playoffs are there's a chair from Josh.
• 9:43
  Nice. If your playoffs are between
• 9:44
  weeks 22 to 24, the Canadians have a very nice 344 schedule
• 9:49
  and even your playoffs go to Week 25, the hubs of five games.
• 9:54
  And because they're a young team that's going to try to develop
• 9:58
  their players, it's worth it to roster them even in the most
• 10:02
  shallow of leaks because he has great peripheral categories and
• 10:07
  potentially his points upside is quite substantial as well.
• 10:10
  So currently he's only rostered in 52% of leagues.
• 10:15
  Probably most of those were peripheral oriented because of
• 10:18
  the back category potential. But I think at this point he
• 10:21
  should be rostered in most points leagues moving forward
• 10:23
  too. It seems that his game has
• 10:26
  shifted and he's really coming into his own as a power forward
• 10:30
  as opposed to just a skill guy. Josh, what was the quote that
• 10:34
  you saw? Yeah, well, pretty much.
• 10:36
  He was asked about his game going coming into the end of the
• 10:39
  season after the formations, and he said that he always viewed
• 10:42
  himself as a player kind of like Patrick Kane.
• 10:44
  And then he was watching the Four Nations and he decided that
• 10:47
  he actually wants to be a player more like Brady Kuchuk.
• 10:50
  And then he comes out and had a game where he scored a goal, had
• 10:52
  five Pimms, five shots and eight hits.
• 10:54
  So seems like you might be able to, you know, just match this
• 10:58
  style A. Bit which would be massive
• 11:00
  because if this is like the route that he's going, I just
• 11:03
  don't think he's like he has like the agility really to be a
• 11:07
  top skill. Guy, yeah, I don't know.
• 11:09
  Of you to develop. Into it No, no, I mean it's
• 11:11
  great, but like Patrick Kane's like a unique talent in and of
• 11:13
  itself I. Think I I first my first
• 11:15
  reaction is how do you view yourself as a Patrick Kane?
• 11:17
  You're like 6 something to your. Monster 64240 He's a.
• 11:20
  Monster. But here's The thing is that,
• 11:22
  like, all these guys, especially a guy who goes first overall,
• 11:24
  they grew up just dominating every league they've played in,
• 11:26
  you know? So he was the Patrick Kane of,
• 11:28
  like, his, you know, every league played in until coming to
• 11:30
  the NHL where that's where you like, really have to adapt your
• 11:32
  game to play with, like, the other best in the world.
• 11:34
  Yeah. So that's probably why he always
• 11:36
  viewed himself as like, you know, more of a skilled guy and
• 11:38
  then he's coming into the league and he's like, you know what?
• 11:40
  I can make more of an impact being more of a Brady
• 11:42
  constructive player, which matches the type of body he has
• 11:45
  that we all notice. Yeah, if he's finally like, if
• 11:48
  he's finally committing to this is going to be huge, Yeah,
• 11:50
  really, really big for the Canadians as a franchise, for
• 11:53
  them rest of season and as a fantasy asset.
• 11:55
  The most importantly, of course, Yeah, it's great.
• 11:59
  But the main idea I also think with trading for him is that
• 12:01
  stuff Kowski is, you know, the goal for him on the Canadians is
• 12:06
  to develop their young talent. And even if they're in the
• 12:09
  playoff picture at the time, you know, closer to the rest of the
• 12:13
  season around fantasy playoffs, stuff is going to be a major
• 12:16
  part of that. He's been very inconsistent all
• 12:18
  year, unlike Bobby McMahon. Sorry, I'll edit that out, but
• 12:24
  one thing that I've noticed about young players and Sloth in
• 12:28
  particular, is that even though young players are plagued with
• 12:30
  inconsistencies, they tend to wake up and be more consistent
• 12:34
  towards the end of the year. This happens with why Johnston
• 12:37
  too, so it's just a typical thing with Slough is definitely
• 12:41
  kind of the poster child for that.
• 12:43
  Second-half Slough. I really don't think the price
• 12:48
  to buy him is too, too high yet, depending on who you ask, but
• 12:54
  but I think if you send the following players for him, you'd
• 12:57
  be quite happy with the return having Slough Kofsky rest of
• 13:00
  season. So to start, I I put Dylan
• 13:04
  Holloway, Voronkov, Brayden Schenn, especially in non
• 13:09
  faceoff leagues and maybe a stretch with Dobson coming back.
• 13:12
  But like honestly, maybe Tony D'Angelo if you wanted to go
• 13:15
  across position. So I think that we're going to
• 13:18
  have disagreement on the D'Angelo one, but for the
• 13:20
  others, I mean, you have Holloway on Bronco, right?
• 13:23
  What would you rather slow for those guys rest of the season?
• 13:26
  So I think I think that's an interesting one because I think
• 13:29
  there's really just gonna be two types of people.
• 13:30
  There's gonna be the believers and the non believers.
• 13:33
  And. You know, The thing is, he's
• 13:36
  been really bad this season. Yeah.
• 13:38
  So there's no reason you should have to pay a premium.
• 13:41
  But you will have people who are going to think all the same
• 13:43
  things that you just thought. You know, you could say it's
• 13:45
  copium. You could say they have fans.
• 13:47
  You could say you don't know whatever you want to say.
• 13:50
  But some people are just gonna stink from here on out.
• 13:52
  He's going to have a monster rest this season.
• 13:54
  In that case, you might not be able to get him for, like,
• 13:56
  another, like, the price that he should be able to be gotten for
• 13:59
  how bad he's been this season. And then you have the people who
• 14:02
  don't necessarily believe that. One thing I will say is probably
• 14:05
  a lot of people have already dropped him now.
• 14:07
  So if someone's holding on to him, they probably are
• 14:09
  believers. But there's probably still
• 14:10
  people who have held on to him for awhile, just like dying for
• 14:12
  an excuse to get rid of him but thinking he's too good to draw.
• 14:14
  So if someone offers them anything for him, they're
• 14:16
  willing to take that like lifeboat.
• 14:18
  So I think that's. Really though is that someone
• 14:20
  may have just picked them up after the past two games and
• 14:24
  that there he can be bought. Yeah, they might cause they in
• 14:26
  their head there like I just picked him up for free.
• 14:27
  I could just flip them. For someone who's been on, who's
• 14:30
  been roster table? Exactly.
• 14:32
  So I definitely I like a lot of these targets like the Holloway
• 14:35
  and Voronkov. Would you do it?
• 14:37
  I know you have all three players, right?
• 14:39
  But like. I just look at the team when you
• 14:41
  made your choices. I I wanted to do this like
• 14:43
  specifically because I want to see your take and.
• 14:46
  I happen to be a slave believer, but I think it would be crazy to
• 14:50
  think like Holloway. I think it's the same kind of
• 14:52
  like archetype of Slough, right? You know, he's also like a shot
• 14:55
  guy and hit well. Hasn't necessarily been shocked.
• 14:58
  He's a big hitter and shooting and he's been had a breakout
• 15:00
  year this year. So I think I would definitely
• 15:03
  take all away for Slough. And then Voronkov is tough
• 15:06
  because he had a rough stretch while Marchinko was injured.
• 15:10
  And then Marchinko came back and he's had two multiple point
• 15:12
  games since marching Guzman back.
• 15:14
  So assuming the Marchinko bump stays, then yeah, I'll do it for
• 15:17
  Voronkov as well. So I think those are good ones.
• 15:19
  Great intern has been a monster. I would actually say it's more
• 15:22
  especially, yes, in face off win leagues.
• 15:23
  You know, in face off win leagues, I don't think she has
• 15:25
  much value. Yeah.
• 15:26
  But in face off win leagues, I think I think you could
• 15:28
  definitely do Scheffer Slough. Yeah.
• 15:30
  D'Angelo is the only one, I think.
• 15:31
  I think with Dobson coming back, D'angelo's almost pretty much a
• 15:34
  drop so far. I think.
• 15:35
  I don't think anyone who's holding Slough would take
• 15:38
  D'Angelo because at that point just different streamer.
• 15:40
  But the rest of them I think are good.
• 15:42
  I think he's a great buy low. Like I said, I'm one of the
• 15:44
  believers and everything you said here.
• 15:45
  And I think just like if you're a bit more like dialed into like
• 15:49
  the Habs, being a Habs fan and you've been seeing like the
• 15:52
  press conferences after the last couple of games and just the way
• 15:55
  he's been talking. And I think another thing with
• 15:57
  these young players, and I think one of the reasons they may get
• 16:00
  better like towards the end of seasons is they're just not used
• 16:03
  to playing 82 games. 82 games is a long season.
• 16:05
  You know, you add in the fact that you just had a two week
• 16:07
  break. I think a lot of these guys who
• 16:09
  aren't used to the long season are going to have a really
• 16:11
  strong finish because they got that reset and they're only
• 16:14
  they've only got like 30 more games to play.
• 16:16
  So I think, I think it's a really good.
• 16:18
  Biopsy. Fair.
• 16:19
  I think I could actually even add like a Grandland and an
• 16:21
  Elers. Those are two options.
• 16:23
  I like those a lot. I think those definitely get
• 16:25
  done. Yeah, I think slash owner would
• 16:27
  if they've been holding them all year, then they look like on
• 16:30
  healers and like a grand. Those are more flashy names, but
• 16:33
  those are. I'd rather have slash to them, I
• 16:35
  think. But and I think that those deals
• 16:37
  both get. Done for sure.
• 16:38
  Yeah, I think, I think. What do you think?
• 16:41
  Overall, I I completely agree. I think right now is the time to
• 16:43
  buy. I think we're seeing maybe a
• 16:45
  second-half sloth type of a type of thing.
• 16:49
  But he still doesn't have he still has like the the taste in
• 16:52
  your mouth of like the sour season he's had.
• 16:54
  Yeah. So I think right now is the time
• 16:56
  to capitalize on it. I mean, you have no choice but
• 16:58
  to capitalize right now because the lines are closing.
• 17:00
  Yeah. So this is it, right.
• 17:02
  But if you have slap on your team already, you're listening
• 17:04
  to this. I'd be thrilled.
• 17:05
  I would not looking at looking at dropping him and I'd be
• 17:08
  thinking that maybe I have a pretty good power forward for
• 17:11
  the rest of the season. Yeah.
• 17:12
  And the last thing I'll just mention is that like Voronkov.
• 17:16
  Would Voronkov Voronkov. Let's not do this like he may
• 17:24
  not be rostered in some leagues as an example, but like let's
• 17:27
  say he is and slap is on waivers because that could happen and
• 17:30
  more shallow leagues. Like I would draw Voronkov for
• 17:32
  slab for instance, if he's one of the least, you know, good
• 17:36
  players on your team. Like I was just saying like for
• 17:38
  Slough 52% owned in Yahoo, I would say it's worth it to just
• 17:41
  pick them up if he's there for sure.
• 17:43
  But if it's a deeper league and you can still trade for him
• 17:45
  then. Do it.
• 17:47
  I agree. Cool.
• 17:48
  Let's do your cell. Hi, Josh.
• 17:49
  All right, my cell. Hi, My final sell high for the
• 17:52
  season is Alex Tuck on the Buffalo Sabres.
• 17:55
  Over the past month he's averaging over a point per game.
• 17:58
  Again, numbers are skewed because of the break, but
• 18:00
  they're also really skewed because right before the break
• 18:02
  he had two 3 point games and had like a four point A4 game point
• 18:06
  streak. He's great in bangers leagues
• 18:08
  because of his cat coverage, specifically in Pimms and
• 18:10
  blocks. He's one of the best forwards in
• 18:12
  the league, but I'd expect him to finish the season around .7
• 18:15
  points per game Max. His deployment is awful on an
• 18:17
  already awful team. He's only playing 92 power play,
• 18:20
  2 on the Sabres and he has no exposure to their best player,
• 18:22
  Teach Thompson. People might look at his recent
• 18:24
  stretch and think of him as one of those great players who
• 18:26
  combines perhaps with a point per game pace, but his points
• 18:29
  will definitely dry up, so now is the best time to sell.
• 18:31
  So some targets that I'm looking at are Drake Batherson, Jordan
• 18:34
  Kyrou or a cold Cofield. I like all of it.
• 18:39
  Yeah, for sure. They, of course, like, you may
• 18:42
  get traded, but we gotta like deal with like the situation as
• 18:45
  it is right now. And there's no immediate
• 18:47
  indication of that. And I think all your players are
• 18:50
  in upgrade. You'd say, though, that even
• 18:51
  with Buffalo's decent playoff schedule.
• 18:54
  Well, first of all, other than Cairo here.
• 18:57
  Batherson, Caulfield. Yeah, he was gonna ask about.
• 19:00
  Cairo, yeah, but even Kairu is only had got one fewer game than
• 19:03
  Tuck. It's not like Saint Louis has a
• 19:05
  bad one. It's just one fewer and no two
• 19:07
  game weeks. Yeah, and I think it's enough of
• 19:10
  an upgrade. I just think that this this tuck
• 19:13
  point production right now is a mirage.
• 19:16
  Oh, Mirage, that's a good word. Yeah.
• 19:20
  Illusion. Yeah, yeah, agreed.
• 19:22
  Could what? Yeah, it's all.
• 19:24
  These players could get copular or bathrooms in though out of
• 19:27
  these like with the elite playoff schedule as well.
• 19:29
  Like that would be just be like insane.
• 19:30
  I think in a lot of leaves you can flip tuck for Batson right
• 19:33
  now for sure. Really.
• 19:34
  Bad 'cause he hasn't. Really as well, Yeah.
• 19:36
  He's he was on a Barlow episode last.
• 19:39
  Time, Yeah. So I think, I think both of
• 19:40
  those could get done and I think those are huge ones.
• 19:43
  Yep, absolutely. Cool.
• 19:45
  Yep. Alright, time for my last sell
• 19:50
  high of the season. I'm getting emotional.
• 19:52
  Yeah, seriously, it's a bittersweet.
• 19:54
  And what a better way to go out with Dylan Strome of the
• 19:58
  Washington Capitals. He's like bull like circle on
• 20:02
  this. Pot.
• 20:02
  Yeah, exactly. He was I think on our first buy
• 20:05
  low sell high episode. Probably there and back again.
• 20:09
  Maybe I just lied, but I feel like he was early on in the in
• 20:13
  the show. But yeah, Dylan Strome, I mean,
• 20:15
  he's the centre for Ovie, who is arguably the most exciting
• 20:19
  player to watch. The stream was myself not.
• 20:21
  Arguable. On week 6.
• 20:23
  OK, never mind. That was like two months.
• 20:26
  Into Did you get into a buy load territory at some point?
• 20:29
  He might have. Anyways, I'm going to continue
• 20:31
  speaking. Yeah, Yeah, yeah.
• 20:33
  I mean, always definitely breaking Gretzky's record this
• 20:34
  year and by this year, I mean, probably in the coming weeks,
• 20:37
  which is pretty exciting. And it adds to the height for
• 20:39
  Strome, who's on the same line feeding him the points.
• 20:42
  And it's just, like, really increases his value.
• 20:45
  He's at 1.44 points per game where the last month and he's
• 20:48
  shooting at about over like a shot more than what he usually
• 20:51
  does. And in most leagues, he's been
• 20:53
  about a top 25 player. If you're looking at a total
• 20:55
  ranks on the season in most of your leagues, I think this is
• 20:58
  your last chance to capitalize on this before you trade
• 21:00
  deadlines if they're still open because I still expect them to
• 21:04
  remain around the point per game player.
• 21:05
  But that's already just like almost a .5 decrease from what
• 21:07
  he's doing currently. He's definitely a really good
• 21:10
  centre to have. He doesn't really, he's not
• 21:12
  ready to cover your peripherals. So maybe you can get better, an
• 21:15
  overall better asset, but you can definitely get them for a
• 21:18
  stud that's currently slumping. I think I mean, Larkin isn't
• 21:22
  necessarily slumping right now, but I would take Larkin over for
• 21:25
  sure. If you could get Sebastian Aho,
• 21:27
  that'd be great. Brayden Point is aiming really
• 21:30
  high. Tempe, I think was on our bylaw,
• 21:32
  is still a bylaw currently. I would love to do that swap
• 21:35
  like that. And I even put Kadri on here who
• 21:37
  has an elite playoff schedule too.
• 21:39
  And I think Strum has just been overall better.
• 21:42
  Kadri shoots significantly more. But I think the point is just
• 21:44
  such a big difference. You can probably get that done.
• 21:47
  I think the only one that I would just rather strong.
• 21:51
  I would take Strong over Quadra, I think.
• 21:54
  Really. I think so.
• 21:55
  OK, but I love the others because just because I think.
• 22:00
  The point describes you probably gets more points like slightly
• 22:03
  like .1 or .2 points. That's it.
• 22:06
  I mean if if strong gets a point per game, Kadri gets what like
• 22:08
  point 8.75? Yeah yeah yeah.
• 22:12
  But Kadri like over double s him in in shots.
• 22:14
  Yeah, like triples him in shots. Yeah, that's pretty significant.
• 22:17
  That's fair. That's fair.
• 22:18
  Yeah. No, you're right.
• 22:19
  I mean like Stroma side tangent, I don't understand how strong
• 22:23
  averages under two shots a game. It's crazy.
• 22:25
  Yeah, it's. Like 60 minutes he's got.
• 22:26
  Crazy ice time. Why?
• 22:27
  How would the audacity to shoot when you have over on your line?
• 22:31
  Yeah, doesn't break the record. Just absorbs all the.
• 22:35
  Shots on goal. Have an empty net now, I'm gonna
• 22:38
  pass it. Over that for sure.
• 22:40
  But even when you're not in this not an empty net like they're
• 22:43
  all programmed like where's over, Yeah.
• 22:44
  Exactly that's what I'm saying No I do like the targets and
• 22:50
  Kadri is that's one like I think you gotta think about depending
• 22:53
  on league settings and everything but realistically
• 22:55
  Lark and Aho point Kempe all would rather.
• 22:58
  Overstrom for sure. Yeah, I agree with everything
• 23:01
  you said. And I think that targets might
• 23:03
  be a bit of a stretch, honestly, with how much I'd rather them
• 23:06
  overstrom, but Strong has been really good, so so who knows.
• 23:09
  But I think Audrey's the most reasonable one.
• 23:12
  Kadri unkempt, I think are the ones that could get done the
• 23:14
  most point. Oho and Larkin I think are just
• 23:17
  too, too much of A like a tier above Strong.
• 23:20
  We would have to be Strong plus to get done, but I think if you
• 23:22
  can get them done, they're huge wins.
• 23:24
  Yeah, for sure, for sure. OK, I'm gonna move on to my
• 23:30
  cell. Hi.
• 23:32
  Hill, 21. Jimmy Absolutely.
• 23:38
  It's the only episode. All right.
• 23:43
  I don't really know what else to do to lead up to it.
• 23:46
  Sprays more. It's Brad Marsh.
• 23:51
  You could say his name, right? Brad Marshall, Brad Robert
• 23:59
  Summer No. So it's it is Brad Marshawn of
• 24:04
  the Boston Bruins. Of team.
• 24:06
  Canada. I love when.
• 24:08
  It's golden. Boston.
• 24:10
  Yeah, it's true. I love when the Boston answers
• 24:13
  are pronounce his name. It's, they say, Moshang.
• 24:17
  I love it. It's great.
• 24:19
  It's great. Well, the Boston Announcer
• 24:21
  actually listens to our podcast. Yeah, could you imagine?
• 24:24
  He's gonna shut us out. On yeah, imagine he's like.
• 24:28
  Standard. Boom, roasted.
• 24:32
  All right, so Brad Marchand over this week, it's Matt.
• 24:39
  Do you know the? Yes, I do.
• 24:42
  Actually, I can't say this on the pod.
• 24:44
  It's about the movie Ted. We'll get into that out there.
• 24:48
  So Brad Marshall has been on an absolute tear as of late.
• 24:52
  He's been a total stud. I think the outcomes with him
• 24:55
  for the rest of the season are twofold. 1, he stays in Boston,
• 24:59
  which has a not great week 22 to 24 playoff schedule, or he would
• 25:04
  get traded to a team. And I think he's the typical
• 25:08
  type of player to go to a new team and not succeed there, just
• 25:12
  to be blunt. About it.
• 25:13
  You think that about every player all season?
• 25:16
  Trades just don't. Work listen, they they don't
• 25:19
  often work when they do they're they're huge.
• 25:22
  But Miko Rantanen is a notch above Marshawn and.
• 25:28
  Look how much that's being polite.
• 25:30
  Many notches and look how important the landing spot is.
• 25:33
  So realistically, I mean, it would have to be the perfect
• 25:35
  fit, but there's a huge risk there.
• 25:37
  And I just think that Boston is not a great playoff schedule and
• 25:40
  they've been performing amazingly because of Pasta.
• 25:42
  So I just think that all signs point towards some negative
• 25:46
  regression from Marshall. Used to be a fantasy stud in
• 25:49
  Bangor leagues with well over a point per game top penalty
• 25:52
  minutes. He's on fire right now.
• 25:53
  Yeah, he's amazing, great shots on goal, but he has not had that
• 25:57
  going for him for the past three years.
• 25:59
  He's only about .8 points per game on the season because of
• 26:02
  his recent surge of scoring 10 points in his last eight games.
• 26:05
  Moving forward, I think you can get a lot of value for Marshall,
• 26:09
  especially because of his reputation, and it would make a
• 26:12
  lot of sense to trade him now for someone with a better
• 26:15
  playoff schedule. I think you can easily get most
• 26:18
  of the guys that I'm about to mention for Marshall and trades.
• 26:22
  So campaign may be a little difficult.
• 26:26
  Batherson, I think is realistic. And then we got Peterka,
• 26:30
  Caulfield, Dustin Wolf. I wanted to put like a nice kind
• 26:34
  of goalie player thing and then Lane Hudson plus.
• 26:40
  What do you think the plus is? I said.
• 26:41
  The plus is mostly carrying in that one.
• 26:43
  Really like you just. I don't know.
• 26:46
  It's tough. What do you what do you think,
• 26:47
  Josh? Lane, Hudson and Slovenski.
• 26:49
  Yeah, you can get that. Yeah, yeah.
• 26:51
  And Nancy, good trade. Cool, Yeah.
• 26:53
  What about the other? Yeah, no, I think this is a
• 26:58
  great, great tell high, like you said, also with the the fantasy
• 27:01
  schedule, I will say I really don't see him getting treated.
• 27:04
  I know there's been a lot of rumors about it, but he's so
• 27:07
  like, yeah, he's the captain and he just I think especially
• 27:10
  having like like Patrice Bergeron there for so long,
• 27:13
  really instilled in at least like the older guys like
• 27:15
  Marshall, like that kind of like value of like staying with the
• 27:18
  same team, especially like the Bruins and being kind of like
• 27:21
  that guy. So I really, I really don't
• 27:23
  think he gets traded, but I don't think he stays this hot
• 27:27
  either. So I still think he's a cell
• 27:28
  high regardless of if he gets traded or not.
• 27:30
  I like all your targets and I think I think most of these get
• 27:34
  done. I think you get, so I think you
• 27:36
  can easily get Batherson. I think that's a great one.
• 27:39
  Kempe I think you could get and that's another great one, but
• 27:41
  that one's probably the toughest.
• 27:42
  Cofield is similar to Batherson. They're both great players who
• 27:45
  are underperforming right now and would be a big win.
• 27:48
  Peterka, you can get more than Peterka for Marshall for sure,
• 27:51
  and I think that's great. Would you do that though?
• 27:53
  Would you rather Patrico from Marshall?
• 27:55
  I. I'd probably do the playoffs
• 27:58
  the. Difference.
• 27:59
  Yeah, that's why like. I put it yeah, yeah, I'd
• 28:01
  probably take Marshall for Patrico, one for one, the cause
• 28:04
  even though like they're. Only recovered.
• 28:06
  But they're only has one game on Marshall in the playoffs.
• 28:09
  So it's not like that big of a difference.
• 28:11
  But I would take Peterka plus for Marshall for sure.
• 28:15
  Obviously depending on what the plus is.
• 28:16
  But but yeah. So then Dustin Wolf is an
• 28:19
  interesting goalie one. I would take him for sure,
• 28:21
  depending on what your team needs.
• 28:22
  And then he said the lane Hudson, like that's another one
• 28:24
  like Patterico where you can get an addition, you know, anti soti
• 28:28
  cell highs. Is that like you need to make
• 28:29
  sure you're selling high with them, right?
• 28:31
  You don't wanna be like you don't wanna sell him as if he's
• 28:33
  not playing like a beast. You wanna sell him because he's
• 28:35
  playing like, yeah, that's why I like some of these targets, like
• 28:37
  a lot more than others. But regardless, I think you can
• 28:39
  get any of these done. Yep.
• 28:42
  OK. So thank you to all for joining
