Alright, guys, ready. Yes, Sir.
0:03
About About Bound Bangor management fantasy hockey
0:05
podcast. Woo woo woo.
0:10
How are y'all doing today? Fantastic.
0:15
Pump it up. You gotta pump it.
0:18
No, I'm just, I'm just happy because my guys are starting to
0:20
get healthy, but other guys are getting hurt.
0:22
So it's just kind of like a little cycle, but it keeps you
0:25
on my toes, you know? Do you ever think that maybe
0:28
you're the problem? I think he's the problem for me.
0:32
I rather too many good players on my team that they all want to
0:35
get hurt like it's not fair. Yeah, honestly, you, you drafted
0:39
such a wagon and and now the wagon.
0:42
Has and then the guys that pick up to replace my wagon become
0:45
wagons and then they also die. Yeah, not not real dive, but
0:51
like like fantasy, die and dream.
0:54
Just this last week I lost Ricard Raquel and Zach Benson,
0:58
who had picked up to replace Josh Norris and Brady Kuchuk and
1:02
Trocheck. So anyways.
1:03
Yeah, so if you don't know already, welcome into Bangor
1:07
Management Fantasy Hockey Podcast with Jake, Josh and very
1:12
sad yet keeping it together admirably, Kevin.
1:15
Admirably is a good word. Admirably.
1:17
I've been I've been taking up all the room in the discord,
1:20
Discord channel that's like about depression for her fantasy
1:24
team or just go to. The channel just so he could
1:26
vent. Literally.
1:28
I was so wrong. I thought Josh was gonna be
1:30
there the most, but it's it's Kevin.
1:32
Kevin is like. Totally the one Matthew only
1:36
gonna 4.9 against me, 4 points. He had one point this season I
1:40
played against him. He gets a goal and three
1:42
assists. Matthew Olivier, the enforcer.
1:46
Matthew Olivier. Anyways, that's it.
1:48
That's it. So he could be a sell high, but
1:51
spoiler alert, he's not on today's episode, which is the
1:55
week 5 buy low sell high trade targets episode.
1:58
One of our favorites, probably my actual favorite.
2:01
So stay tuned for some great content.

2:15
OK, so today we're adding a new segment to this episode, which I
2:19
think is really helpful. It's basically reviewing our buy
2:23
low, sell high recommendations from two weeks prior to see how
2:26
we did. Yep.
2:29
And we'll give context to these guys as well and be like, are
2:31
they still buy low? Are they still sell high or are?
2:33
They Yeah. We reevaluate.
2:36
So let's dive into our two weeks ago update.
2:39
So first by low from 2 weeks ago was Darcy Kemper.
2:42
Since then he's played five games, won three of them, has a
2:46
2.49 goals against average and a .921 save percentage.
2:50
Let's just say that the buy low window has probably closed at
2:54
this point. But at the time he had it was
2:56
off to an awful start. He was injured and just nothing
3:00
was going right for him. So this was, you know, one of
3:03
those classic just pat ourselves on the back and hope that our
3:05
viewers took advantage, right? If you needed a goalie, I think
3:08
he's gonna be hovering around the top 10 goalie for the rest
3:11
of the season. Obviously he's, it was amazing
3:15
last year and I think we're already seeing that he's, you
3:17
know, coming back to form as the Kings start to be good again.
3:20
And for a stretch of that, Kopitar was out.
3:22
And you know, we don't love Peter fantasy necessarily, but
3:26
IRL he's a huge part of their team's success.
3:28
So I'm just expecting more good things from Kemper moving.
3:31
Forward and they got Corey Perry back, who's like this second.
3:35
Coming stop scoring. Exactly.
3:37
Yeah. So yeah, no.
3:39
Scory, Perry. Exactly.
3:41
All right. Next we had OK, I remember this
3:43
now. This was the the all of us
3:45
choosing guys on our own team as Billows in the first in the
3:48
first segment. Now we've got our Tammy Panarin
3:51
of Kevin's team. And since that episode, he's
3:54
played eight games, two goals, 3 assists, 5 points.
3:57
I say this is one of those kind of like Simmer and, you know,
4:01
maybe you can buy them even lower than earlier.
4:03
Of those five points, four of them came in one game.
4:06
So my feelings there like it shows you he can do it.
4:09
The window still open for Panera and I think people are starting
4:11
to get worried because it's been like 4 weeks into the season at
4:15
this point. We saw, you know, in two games
4:18
you got those five points were like alright, he's back and on
4:20
the icy looks good. Like he's getting all the time
4:22
on it. He's getting shots.
4:24
So it's just the Rangers as a team or are not really playing
4:27
well right now. I think the Trocheck like injury
4:30
really hurts him coming back in the in the near future, I think
4:32
will help overall stabilize his top 6.
4:34
And I think the window is still open for Panera.
4:36
Like I'm not I'm not scared off just yet.
4:38
I still think that way better days are ahead.
4:41
So if you can still try to buy on the low, I'm looking to do
4:44
that. Yeah, and recently the coach
4:46
shuffled up the top 6 and is playing Panarion with JT and
4:50
Zibanejad on the line. Three best players on the team.
4:53
Yeah, who would have thought? If you're struggling to create
4:56
any sort of offence, maybe put your top three players together
4:58
and see what happens. So.
5:00
And it's crazy because that line didn't score, but the second
5:02
line of Cooley Laba. And is it like Sherri?
5:05
No, it's laugh, laugh. Sorry.
5:07
Yeah. And they scored as soon as she
5:08
starts the top line. So yeah, so maybe that's the
5:11
real top line. Yeah.
5:15
No, paranoid say is still a buy low.
5:17
And if you waited, you might be able to buy him even lower than
5:19
two weeks ago. Yeah.
5:20
Next we've got Brandon Hagel of Jake's team.
5:23
Since then, he's played eight games, three goals, 4 assists, 7
5:25
points. But if you look at the game log,
5:27
it's really the last four games where he got most of those
5:29
points. So I think for a week into that,
5:32
it looked like he was still a buy low.
5:33
Now he's kind of popping off. So you might have lost your
5:36
window, but it just shows that we were right about, you know,
5:40
not being worried about Hagel and he's coming back to where he
5:42
should be. The windows lost.
5:44
You cannot buy low on him anymore.
5:46
He's got. The only way that you can still
5:49
buy him is if, like, the manager was really affected by the dip
5:54
in performance for the first three weeks and he's finally
5:56
some good games, I can get him off my roster.
5:58
But that's not the case for most teams that have Hagel on the
6:00
roster. 7 points in his last four games.
6:03
It's insane and he's over. He's averaging over 20 minutes a
6:06
night. It's crazy, I know.
6:09
It was the second unit, but. Still good numbers for a
6:11
defenseman, like really good defenseman numbers more than
6:15
probably most in the league. So they just play them all the
6:18
time and I don't understand how he gets those minutes being on
6:20
power play too. Which is still ridiculous but.
6:23
That's he plays on the PC which definitely adds to his.
6:26
Many definitely adds this time, but.
6:27
Yeah, so I'm very happy I held. And for those who bought low,
6:31
good job. Yeah, and for those who didn't
6:33
sell low, good job as well. For you, Logan Cooley, for Hagel
6:37
and you turn me down. That was like 2 weeks ago.
6:40
How you feeling about that? I'm feeling OK.
6:43
OK, I would feel pretty bad. They're both great.
6:46
I mean I feel like since then they've had equal performance
6:49
regardless. I would say they haven't, but.
6:53
Alright, moving on to our cells from 2 weeks ago, we had Afghani
6:57
Malkin. Since then he actually somehow
6:59
got even better with 9 games played, three goals -12 points.
7:02
I will say this is not a miss though.
7:03
This is just a if you haven't sold high yet, maybe you can
7:06
sell them even higher now, But currently Pittsburgh is the
7:10
number one team in the league. And you know who Malcolm is
7:12
playing with at even strength? He's playing with Anthony Mantha
7:15
and Justin Brazo, both also killing it and it's just so
7:19
unsustainable. Malcolm did the same thing last
7:21
year, like the exact same thing. So if we need like, you know, a
7:24
track record of when he's popped off to start the season and then
7:27
became nearly unrestorable, literally looked to last year.
7:30
This is such an incredible sell high opportunity.
7:33
Honestly, it would, you know, if people weren't able to do it in
7:36
the last two weeks. The opportunity is getting
7:38
better and better. Like you just start aiming
7:39
higher and higher. So do it.
7:41
Get rid of Falcon off your team. This is not going to be the
7:44
entire season. I'm sure there's some leagues
7:46
where you can sell Malkin for Panarin.
7:48
Yes. Yes I absolutely agree.
7:51
The one difference is that Pittsburgh is good this year,
7:53
whereas they still sucked last year with Mulkins production.
7:56
But this is such a good opportunity because this
7:59
production has been sustained for so many weeks in a row now
8:02
that people are going to start buying into it.
8:04
Like if it wasn't time buying into it emotionally but not with
8:08
actual fantasy, I'm not buying. It standings and Mulkins playing
8:12
at above a point per game pace. Yeah, guys, please.
8:15
This guy will end up being a drop later in the season.
8:17
He's not going to be doing this forever.
8:20
Yeah, please sell him right now. Yeah, yeah, you get a lot of
8:23
value. But like, just a quick tangent.
8:26
Do you actually think Pittsburgh gonna make the playoffs?
8:27
No. I still sure there no.
8:30
OK, there's a lot of pundits who say that they are.
8:33
I will say, though, that personally, as a Crosby owner, I
8:37
kind of hope they do. First of all, they keep being
8:38
good. He's gonna keep being sick,
8:40
although he doesn't need them to.
8:41
But also they have such a good playoff schedule.
8:42
And if he doesn't get, if doing well, they're gonna trade him.
8:44
So I would love. That yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
8:47
But yeah, so high on Malkin still for.
8:49
Sure. OK.
8:50
Next we had Pavel Dorfe, VI. Don't know if you remember when
8:53
we recorded two weeks ago, he was the talk of the town.
8:57
Literally the best goal scorer of our generation or any
9:00
generation. Since then, he's put up eight
9:02
games, played four goals unassisted, 5 points.
9:05
I mean, this is kind of exactly the type of thing I expect him
9:07
to do, right? Like 5 points and eight games is
9:09
not like bad, four of them being goals.
9:11
It's just classic for this type of guy who's just a pure goal
9:13
scorer, not really getting many assists.
9:15
But it's not the pace that he was on two weeks ago.
9:18
So he's definitely slowed down a bit.
9:20
He's going to be a season long hold.
9:21
This wasn't one of those. It's not like a Malkin 1 where
9:23
like he might literally become droppable at some point but you
9:27
may have lost your chance to sell them at his highest if you
9:29
haven't done it yet. Yeah, some people flip their
9:31
affair for Panera and Back in the Day.
9:33
So my back in the day 2 weeks. Ago, yes.
9:37
But listen, Dora Fair and keep her sure.
9:39
What are the two Tide goal scorers in the league right now?
9:41
So listen. Who would have thought?
9:43
Yeah, exactly. Both of them have I'd like to
9:45
combine the two top goal scorers in the league combined have one
9:48
assist and eighteen goals, so. There you go.
9:52
Yeah, throw in Morgan Geekie on there too, who's like second,
9:55
and he also is just a pure goal scorer, so it's very
9:58
interesting. To see we love those guys, but
9:59
it's always hard to sustain. Yeah, exactly.
10:02
And lastly, we have Elias Lindholm who played since we
10:06
recommended him. He's played nine games, two
10:08
goals, 3 assists, 5 points and he is now injured for a few
10:11
weeks. So this is very much one where
10:13
the cell high window is gone. So if you didn't sell high on
10:17
him, you're stuck with him now on your IR for the next few
10:19
weeks. Obviously we can't pat ourselves
10:20
on the back for an injury, right Like.
10:22
But he had already started to slow down a little bit.
10:23
Before, even without the injury, not only was it the points like
10:26
5 and 9 is not bad, but it's not the crazy start yet, but also
10:29
the shots slowed down as we all expected.
10:30
He wasn't gonna be getting 3-4 shots a game.
10:32
That's not the type of player he is.
10:34
So again, this is one that we hope you sold when you had the
10:36
chance, but the chance is now gone.
10:39
This, this just makes me think that we're so good at buy low,
10:42
sell high, guys. I'm just saying.
10:43
Yes. Can you pronounce their their
10:45
new top line centres name? My rat Kusnet to Dinov.
10:50
OK, we got it on our hands, I mean.
10:53
I don't know if that's correct, but that's how I've been
10:55
pronouncing it. That's remarkable attention to
10:57
detail. Thank you.
10:58
I'm very impressed. But you won't get that anywhere
11:00
else. Let me tell.
11:01
You. What is gone?
11:04
Yeah, and I will say I not not to you know, tell on myself, but
11:08
if we were doing spelling bee, I do not know how to spell Marats
11:11
name just yet because he is such a new player to the league and
11:14
has had not had fantasy relevance before possibly now.
11:16
So that would be a stumper, but you know, I might be able to.
11:19
Try to get into deserve this treatment real reserves our
11:23
respect honestly. Kevin, do you remember when we
11:26
watched that game when he was on Minnesota?
11:27
And we really remember this guy? He's a monster.
11:29
He looks sick. Wait, I feel, I feel like I
11:33
remember this. We were at the Bell Centre for
11:36
flurries last like retirement game at the Bell Centre where
11:39
you gotta shut out. And we were all like sad to see
11:42
the Habs lose, but like, it was just such a good moment to see
11:44
Flurry and like that performance and.
11:47
Yeah. The guy we're not like we didn't
11:50
notice he was that we look at we look size number looked up,
11:53
looked him up and we're like, wait, this guy looks sick.
11:55
What the? Hell yeah.
11:57
That's why Jake just spent two fab on him last night.
11:59
Yeah, yeah. Line 1C for Boston 2 fab.
12:03
I think that's worth it. Yeah, for sure.
12:04
Worth the shot. Alright Roy, let's start with
12:07
our Bilos. So my Bilo for this week is
12:10
Brayden Point of the Tampa Bay Lightning.
12:13
Since the first game of the season where he had a
12:15
three-point night, Point has only 5 points and his last 10
12:18
games he's averaging under two shots on goal in under 5 face
12:21
off wins per game. Last year he was at 2.5 shots
12:24
and 5.6 face off wins. Tampa is currently 5 four and
12:27
two and 4th in the Atlantic, but they should easily be a top
12:29
three team in the division. The whole team has started off
12:32
really slow, even their top guys like Kucherov, but they should
12:34
turn it around and Point will be a huge part of that.
12:36
He'll easily finish the season point per game, so now it's a
12:39
great chance to buy and some targets that I'd look to flip
12:42
for Point. Bo Horvat, Afghani Malkin, Nick
12:45
Schmaltz. This, this is great.
12:49
Many great points. Yeah.
12:53
The crowd goes wild. Yeah.
12:54
And I really like your targets too, because as we discussed,
12:57
Malkin has just been an on an absolute terror and it's keeps
13:00
going. And then the other two guys,
13:01
Horvat and Schmaltz easily. I'd rather Brayden point over
13:04
there. This underperformance is a
13:06
simple function of the team not being what they're going to be
13:11
moving forward. You know, they're their goals
13:13
for is actually, you know, second bottom in the Atlantic
13:17
Division right now. And he's going to be a huge part
13:19
of this bounce back. Even if it doesn't happen like
13:22
right away, it may start experts, but then it's gonna be
13:25
consistent. This guy has a 90 point ceiling.
13:27
I think he's even hit close to 100 in his career.
13:29
So I really love this by Low. Yeah, I mean, I just bought low
13:32
on Brayden Point in one of my other leagues, not our league of
13:36
record. I traded the Ryan Nugent Hopkins
13:38
for Britain point. It's a little bit of a more
13:40
shallow league as well where you're only starting like two of
13:42
every position. So waivers are waves are pretty
13:44
stacked. But I was happy to do a trade
13:46
like that. It wasn't even a bangers league
13:47
either. I sent Dylan Cousins and Ryan
13:49
and Hopkins in a non bangers league for Britain point and I'm
13:53
pretty happy with that. I had just picked up Dylan
13:54
Cousins off waivers. So I yeah, exactly shallower
13:59
league. So it just goes to show that,
14:00
like, he is very attainable, you know?
14:02
And he's just like, he's an elite goal scorer, first of all.
14:05
He's always one of the centres that gets the most goals in the
14:07
league. Yeah.
14:08
And he's playing with Kucherov. Like we know how high the
14:11
ceilings are to start to the season has been far from what he
14:15
is going to produce. This is an amazing buy low
14:18
opportunity on Brayden Point. Yeah.
14:21
Last, last point I have on this is that because of the short
14:24
discrepancy, that's like another reason to sell him.
14:27
You know, it's like it really does not look good compared.
14:29
To last year, especially around. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
14:34
There's like no redeeming qualities.
14:35
His face off suck too. If you're in a face off win
14:37
league and that's that's going to stay.
14:38
Yeah, but yeah, great, great. Buy low.
14:41
Opportunity and I just want to if you're just your first buy
14:44
low sell high episode, you're listening to a of us.
14:47
I just want to reinforce the idea that we're recommending
14:50
these players. That doesn't mean tomorrow you
14:53
trade for them and they're gonna come up right away.
14:55
You know what I mean? Like there is usually a little
14:57
bit of a Gray area where it's like, OK, like the turn around
15:00
doesn't happen right after you make the trade.
15:03
You might have the growing pains for like a week or two, but
15:06
we're looking at this from like a season long opportunity.
15:08
Like getting market is not gonna average 12 points over 9 games
15:11
for the next three weeks and then drop off a Cliff.
15:14
Like it's gonna slowly go down and point, it's gonna slowly
15:17
come up. So you make a trade like that
15:19
and at the end of the season you're flying.
15:21
Yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
15:23
Right, Kevin, you're up. All right, my buy low
15:28
opportunity is a player that everybody is worried about.
15:32
So I feel like this will be a surprising to hear come out of
15:34
my mouth. But I will give context.
15:38
My Bilo is currently Mackenzie Weeger of the Calgary Flames.
15:43
You can be like Kevin. This guy has been dog water.
15:47
He just got bumped off PP1. Why do I want to acquire him on
15:51
my team? And the logic behind this
15:53
decision is that if you're a manager, you're kind of worried
15:57
right now, like you got bumped off P1.
15:59
And that's one of the reasons why he was drafted as a top five
16:01
defensemen in bangers leagues. His bangers also have been kind
16:05
of inconsistent. We're seeing a lot of zeros in
16:06
the heads in the blogs and the Shaws, like every other game is
16:09
kind of getting zeros, which is completely normal for for guys
16:12
like this. Like we saw with Cider as well.
16:14
We see with other guys that are like really good at hits or
16:16
blocks like they'll have the odd gamer to get zeros.
16:19
I just think that right now the price for weaker is
16:21
significantly lower than what is upside still remains for the
16:24
rest of the season. I do not see correct keeping
16:26
this P1 spot for long term. I think even by the time you
16:31
listen to this maybe your gets gets the spot back.
16:34
But I think the price to acquire him right now is significantly
16:37
lower and honestly way worth the risk.
16:40
I feel like it's a low risk, high reward opportunity where if
16:44
he comes back to form or even close to it, you're getting your
16:47
money's worth. And even just with the banger
16:49
category coverage, I think it'll be worth it to acquire Mackenzie
16:51
Weeger because I'm looking at trading guys like Jackson
16:55
Lacombe, who is a super hot name right now.
16:57
Everybody kind of wants a piece of Jackson Lacombe.
17:00
I, I said this in our discourse, so shout out if you're not
17:03
there, join because we're having conversations like this on a
17:05
daily basis. But I said hot take.
17:07
I think Jackson the comma is one of the most overrated fantasy
17:09
players right now. It feels like after the
17:12
contract, everybody is seeing him as like this next like
17:14
superstar that everybody's just waiting to get their hands on or
17:17
like the ceiling is incredibly high.
17:19
I just don't see it. I think he's the same guy as
17:22
like Miro Heiskanen, who is also a one for one target that I said
17:25
that you can trade mirror Hassan for Mackenzie Weegar.
17:27
I would do that in a heartbeat. Yeah, if you're lucky and with
17:31
this recent surge of Jacob Trouba, if you're able to
17:35
somehow flip that for Mackenzie, we could be like, look how Trump
17:37
is getting points and look, look at coverage.
17:39
That's so sick, Mackenzie. We're just got bumped off people
17:42
and he sucks now. Like, I would try to make that
17:44
flip. Like if you're able to sell it,
17:45
if you're a good salesman, that would be insane.
17:48
I think Morgan Riley, he's completely slowed down to my
17:51
demise. But you could have seen that one
17:53
coming. I drafted him in the 15th round.
17:58
I'll take what I can get. The production will still be
18:03
there eventually, but I just think that you can capitalize on
18:05
like, oh, these people one on Toronto and Toronto has been
18:08
struggling. And maybe if you're able to flip
18:10
that in a package for for we grew.
18:13
I would do that. Even Darnell Nurse, like we
18:15
talked about Darnell Nurse recently on Would you rather
18:17
episode. But yeah, I think if you're able
18:20
to flip Darnell Nurse, who's a pure category guy, trading him
18:23
for a guy that's equally as good in Bangor categories but has
18:25
that P1 upside, like I would do that.
18:27
Yeah. These are great names for sure,
18:30
and I would rather weaker over all of them.
18:32
My question though, is what's like the upper echelon?
18:35
Like the guy that one or two maybe that you would like to
18:40
trade for And it's like you're like really don't want to give
18:42
it up because like poem, for instance, is performing exactly
18:45
the same as weaker. I way rather weaker, no doubt
18:48
about it, but they're performing similarly, you know what I mean?
18:51
So would you give someone like what's like an upper echelon
18:54
like? The best guy I would give to get
18:58
weaker on my roster kind of thing.
18:59
Is that what you're asking? Yeah, exactly.
19:01
Yeah. What about like a Dougie
19:03
Hamilton? I would do that.
19:06
I think so too. Oh my God, Actually, I don't
19:08
even know. That's probably that's that's
19:09
exactly what I'm like. Looking if you can flip Nikishin
19:13
for weaker, I think that's incredible.
19:16
There's no way no ones gonna do that.
19:19
Yeah, I don't think he's performed that well yet, even
19:21
though I think I'm OK to roster indication.
19:24
I yeah, yeah, not, not a hit on him.
19:26
I'm just trying to think of reasonable ones.
19:27
I think my favorite name, like Kevin mentioned, was Darnell
19:29
Nurse because Nurse has just been absolutely out of his mind
19:32
and backwards. And like if you convince, if the
19:34
weaker owners convinced he's not getting power play 1 back, then
19:37
he kind of becomes just a bangers defenseman and and
19:40
nurses bangers cats have been better than wiggers and nurses
19:43
putting up random numbers at points, which is obviously not
19:46
going to last. So I think that could possibly
19:48
get done. Yeah, you feel bad doing that,
19:51
which is good because it's like, it's like, that's where.
19:54
We so these Bilo cell highs, it's the immediate feeling, the
19:57
first initial feeling and maybe a week after is like, damn, I
20:00
just made my team worse. But over the long term, kind of
20:03
like you guys mentioned earlier, it gets better.
20:05
But yeah, so. Would you trade Charlie McAvoy
20:07
for weigher? That's a good one too.
20:11
Yeah. I I, I think it's almost a no
20:14
for me, but it's like right there.
20:16
What about Roman Yosi? Yeah, I'll take her real see.
20:20
Yeah, I don't know. If he's zero trust in in the OC
20:23
being healthy this year. Thomas Harley.
20:25
Yeah, no, I think I'd rather hardly.
20:29
Yeah, that's tough. Harley's been blocking like a
20:31
champ and I really feel like he takes power play one at some
20:34
point and then. Just got so much.
20:35
Money, yeah. He's so rich.
20:37
Yeah, he's gonna be like, quote, after signing his contract, he's
20:41
like, yeah, just a regular day for me.
20:43
I'm gonna go home and have like Adorno's frozen pizza or
20:45
something like that. Would you, John Carlson?
20:51
Yeah. Yes.
20:54
I like those ones, like where the guy currently has power play
20:58
one, but he's kind of in a battle for it.
21:00
So you look at like Carlson with chicken, you look at maybe
21:03
Dougie with Luke Hughes, you talk, you know, like maybe he's
21:05
going in with Harley. Whereas Weaker currently is not
21:09
on power play one, but can get it back and weaker has that huge
21:12
back hats upside. So yeah.
21:14
You have like a wide spectrum of guys that you can definitely
21:17
offer for. Weaker, I just think that's what
21:19
I'm saying, but I wanna make sure you're buying a little
21:21
because I'm not saying your has no risk rest of season.
21:23
Like his value is not going to be what his draft day cost was
21:27
like. We drafted him as a top five
21:28
defenseman before the bangers and the power play.
21:30
It looks like the points are just not going to be as there as
21:33
they were in the past. Power play 1 back.
21:35
Calgary is so bad at offence this year and I don't see any
21:38
reason like they're not gonna be this bad, but I don't see any
21:40
reason why they're going to be suddenly become a really good
21:42
team or they're probably gonna be really good.
21:44
So I don't think that play on spot is as enticing as some
21:47
other ones. So yeah, it's like Kevin said,
21:49
the point ceiling is not nearly where we where he might have
21:52
been drafted as, but the bankers are going to be there and he
21:54
should still chip in what, like 4.5 points per game?
21:57
Yeah, because I I think if you drafted him as a top five
22:00
defenseman, I think his ceiling this year is probably like top
22:03
ten now because of the points inconsistencies.
22:06
But if you're trading a top 15, top 20, like the risk there is
22:10
low. So even if he doesn't bounce
22:12
back to the height that we initially expected of him,
22:15
you're still making good value there.
22:17
And that's the point I want to emphasize that like, this is not
22:20
me saying that mechanism weather is going to be a top five
22:22
defenseman again, like I don't want everybody to have that
22:24
idea. I just think the price is so low
22:26
right now that you can make a deal where you're still
22:28
improving even though he's not hitting a ceiling for rest of
22:30
season. Yeah, that's a, that's a good
22:32
way of putting it. All right, Jake, Yeah.
22:34
Who do you got is your bio? OK, my bi lo I had a little
22:40
interesting story as to how I got to it, so I'm gonna give you
22:43
that. I'm going to give you that
22:44
little background story. So basically this was like a
22:47
simple yet unintentional methodology for picking the
22:50
Bilo. I went zero G this year so I
22:53
wanted to see how my goalies were doing compared to the top
22:56
guys this year. So what I did was I filtered
22:58
last 14 days average and I wanted to see which goalie had
23:01
the most saves. Turns out it's Philip Gustafson.
23:04
I then looked at his rank which is super low because his goals
23:07
against average and his percentages for save percentage
23:10
are awful abysmal. It's crazy.
23:13
So this is obviously extremely disappointing for a goalie who
23:16
you drafted in the 5th and 6th round over really valuable
23:19
players. And yeah, I mean, to me, like
23:24
the good news is that there's a lot of reasons that I expect the
23:26
turn around to happen fast. Firstly, there's no real
23:29
competition there. Walstad, who I was highest on
23:31
out of the three of us is not gonna be a thing.
23:33
There's no way he's also performing horribly.
23:36
Secondly, Minnesota has a decently easy schedule over the
23:39
next two weeks, which is Nashville, Carolina, which is
23:42
hard, then Islanders, Flames, Sharks, Ducks and Vegas.
23:46
So this is great because it's just in time for our two week
23:49
evaluation segment to look upon my buy low favorably.
23:53
Alright, so and yeah, lastly, Minnesota gives up a lot of
23:56
shots. And although that doesn't really
23:58
bode well for his percentages, even if he ends up with a 910
24:01
and he was at a 914 last year, that's not elite.
24:04
But because of all the shots and the wins, which I expect to tick
24:08
up dramatically, he's going to be a reliable #1 goalie for your
24:12
fantasy team. And yeah, All in all, I just
24:15
like it can't be this bad moving forward.
24:17
And I definitely expect them the Wild to surpass both the
24:20
Blackhawks and the Predators in the standings over the next few
24:22
weeks for a goalie who had a lead production last year.
24:26
I just expect them the the while to still be in playoff
24:29
contention and it's gonna start looking way brighter for ghosts
24:33
and very soon. So I have some good one for one
24:36
targets. I think you'll.
24:37
Tell me. One of Jerry or she loves.
24:41
I think you could. I think that's like doable
24:43
because they're both performing amazingly well.
24:45
Spencer Knight, Lukas Dostal and to add in some cross positional
24:51
flexibility kind of interesting ideas, Brad Marshawn, Eric
24:56
Carlson because these are two veteran guys with huge name
24:59
value that are performing very well right now and I would
25:03
rather Gustafsen over them. Yeah, I I like it a lot.
25:07
I'm will say when we did our rankings divisional rankings
25:12
episode, I got ripped a new one for saying Minnesota was going
25:15
to finish 6th. And I don't know if you have
25:17
checked the standings. Currently in 7th so.
25:20
I just think we didn't. We didn't.
25:22
We underestimated the impact losing Mazzarello was going to
25:26
have on. This team, OK, we'll see what
25:27
happens. He should be back in the next
25:29
week, so we'll see if that helps things enough to get them back.
25:32
But another reason I'm feeling pretty good about my ranking.
25:36
I just feel like I was right about their their defence and
25:38
all that. Anyways, as we said, Gustafson
25:40
definitely is a a great buy low there.
25:42
Even if they don't win a lot of games, you should put up good
25:45
numbers. I like the shots of games.
25:46
Like he said, it's it's great for saves, just in general.
25:49
It's also great for save percentage because you get more
25:52
of a you get more of a leash to let in more goals.
25:55
If the volume of shots is higher, then you'll end up with
25:58
a solid save percentage. So for those reasons, I like it.
26:01
Jerry slash she loves. I would definitely rather Gus
26:03
into either of them. And I guess Penguins are first
26:06
in the league right now, so maybe there's a chance it gets
26:08
done. I don't know.
26:09
I feel like it's tough. Trading toy for school.
26:12
We still have a little bit of a stink on them that they're not.
26:14
Like that's it. Like I feel like I feel like
26:16
that's hard to pull off. Obviously, if you can, it would
26:18
be great. Spencer night to great one.
26:19
I think you could definitely pull that off and I would prefer
26:21
Gustafson Dostall as well. I'd prefer Gustafson and then
26:25
you're cross position ones. I would take Gustafson over
26:27
either of those guys, so. I'm an Eric Carlson owner.
26:30
I don't know if the Gustafson owner would accept that unless
26:32
they're like desperate at defensemen.
26:34
Yeah, yeah. But it's it's.
26:37
Horrible like Gustafson. For his need a goalie.
26:40
So listen, I might actually look into that.
26:42
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, honestly, like add a
26:45
small sweetener, whoever you're. The only issue in a lot of
26:49
leagues, I know our league for sure, and in a lot of leagues no
26:52
one's trading away a goalie unless they receive a golden
26:54
return. So it would have to be like
26:56
Carlson Plus. Without Freddie Anderson or I
27:00
got Elvis Presley and those are my 2 goalies.
27:03
Ready and Carlson would be great.
27:05
Dirty and Carlson Watson. Yeah, why not?
27:07
I think it could easily get done.
27:09
I'm about to send that offer right now.
27:10
Yeah, I don't think it gets done because our league hates
27:13
trading, but I think it's a really good could get done in
27:16
more normal leagues. Let me find Gustafson.
27:20
Anyways, I think it's great. Let's move on to the cell highs.
27:23
Good. I'm glad you brought up Freddie.
27:24
That's that's another really good one, by the way.
27:26
Yeah, go for it, Josh. My cell high is a guy who is
27:30
actually playing just out of his GD mind right now, and I know
27:34
because he's playing against me, obviously, which is what we have
27:38
here because it makes no sense, OK?
27:40
And that person is Brandon Montour of the Seattle Crack and
27:43
Key Mantras. Only played six games this
27:45
season, but he's been unreal in all of them.
27:46
He's averaging 1.2 points, .3 power play points, three shots
27:51
on goal, 1.7 hits and 2.3 blocks.
27:55
Guys, I don't know if you've looked at Brandon Montour's game
27:57
log before I'm before this episode.
28:00
Look at it and just laugh at me for playing him when he's having
28:03
the best, you know? I feel kind of bad because I
28:06
tried to buy him like last week before he came back from the the
28:10
thing and the manager was just like, oh, I just kind of want to
28:12
be patient. Like I'm not trying to make too
28:13
many moves this early in the season.
28:15
I was like, alright, we can like reevaluate in a week or two and
28:17
then he blows up. Yeah, well, you know, that's how
28:19
it works. We have that curse on us.
28:21
We try and trade for someone and they immediately blow up before
28:23
the person accepts it. Pretty much.
28:25
That's why I never send offers to people on playing games.
28:27
I want to help them out against me.
28:29
I also do that. Yeah, anyway, so yeah, he's
28:33
playing just unreal in every single sense of that term, in
28:35
every metric. It's easy for stats to be skewed
28:37
in such a small sample size, especially when two out of six
28:40
of the games he's played against Montreal and he's known as a
28:42
Montreal killer. I don't know if you guys
28:44
remember last season and putting up a six point game against us.
28:47
It's just he does super well against the haves and that's a
28:50
third of the games he's played this season.
28:51
Last year his stats were .5 points per game, .1 probably
28:54
points, 2.9 shots hit, and 1.2 blocks.
28:57
That's fine. That's nowhere near what he's
28:59
doing right now, and that's closer to what he's gonna end
29:01
the season on. I'd say the one thing he's doing
29:03
elite now that you can count on is the shots.
29:05
That just seems to be in line with the type of player he is.
29:08
But the hits are gonna go down, the blocks are gonna go down,
29:10
the points are gonna go down, and the points are going to go
29:12
down. And his deployment is not even
29:14
exciting. He's aligned to power play 2
29:16
penalty kill 2 on Seattle. Obviously power play 2 on
29:18
Seattle is more like power play 1B, but still, that's like he's
29:22
not even the top defenseman on the team in terms of deployment.
29:25
He's still a solid guy to have on your team if you can flip him
29:27
for I'd take most solid power play on defenseman over him at
29:30
this point. I think you can get you can aim
29:32
really high with how insane he's been, but I would take most guys
29:35
who have that power play one spot on lock.
29:37
So some targets I've got are Adam Fox, Victor Hedman and Evan
29:40
Bouchard. Again, it's the only reason why
29:42
it might be tough to sell it is because of the small sample
29:44
size. People might be like, OK, he had
29:46
six good games, but just with how unreal he's been, I think
29:49
you can really pull off something special here.
29:52
And yeah, I was gonna say like, I actually like Montour, like I
29:55
would want Montour on my fantasy team.
29:57
But if anybody is producing like this, you have to try and sell
30:00
them for a A tier up. Like you have to do your due
30:03
diligence when you have guys performing at this level if you
30:05
want to make your fantasy team better.
30:07
That's just how it is. If you want to win a
30:08
championship, you gotta upgrade. But I really like the targets
30:11
you said. I think they're all attainable.
30:13
I think the most attainable is probably Victor Hedman.
30:15
I think Bouchard is ramping up a little bit and he was highly
30:17
drafted. Adam Fox has kind of been like
30:20
the only Rangers got. Still kind of solid.
30:23
I I think I would love to have Victor Hedman on my roster
30:25
instead of instead of Montour. And I think you could pull that
30:28
off. Yeah, absolutely.
30:29
I think even a one for one it's it's somewhat feasible like
30:32
Victor Hedman is not. I feel he does have the same
30:34
poll that he used to have a few years back.
30:36
I feel like ever since he kind of got demoted by Circuit Chev
30:38
for like a stretch that one year, it put into question his
30:41
lock on power play 1. And even though they shipped
30:43
officer searched, if you like that kind of like stink around
30:46
his name, you know, hasn't fully disappeared.
30:48
So yeah. People just view him less elite
30:50
as like he used to be in the past.
30:51
Which is fair exactly. It's also older and.
30:53
Has been producing less, but yeah.
30:55
Yeah, and like if you look at monitors career log, he had one
30:59
monster year, 73 points in 80 games 2223 season.
31:04
Needless to say this Seattle Kraken's of new are not the
31:08
Stanley Cup winning Florida Panthers that he was power play
31:12
1 as a lock all year. He is actually a very solid
31:16
player as Kevin said, like having him on your fantasy team
31:19
is great. And when we say sell high, it
31:22
doesn't mean like going out of business like 50% off on it's
31:26
like you gotta sell high because he's performing at that level.
31:30
And look at it. I mean, you can just say, look,
31:32
his minutes are good. His his peripherals are amazing.
31:34
Look at this year in Florida, like monitor is back baby, but
31:38
he's not, it's not going to stay this way.
31:40
And if you can get an elite point producer like the targets
31:43
you mentioned, it's an easy choice to go for that.
31:46
Yeah, I was even gonna toss Warenski on there, but then he
31:48
started heating up as well, like 2 points in his last two games
31:51
each. So that's, I think might be a
31:53
stretch, but like one of those, like top Quinn Hughes maybe with
31:56
the injury and his slow start, yeah, I don't wanna show too
31:59
high, but like, yeah, exactly as I say, like for one, for one,
32:01
it's not gonna happen. But this can It can be like a
32:03
starting point to a conversation that you didn't think was
32:05
possible before the season started.
32:07
Yeah, 100% agree. Alright, it's my cell high is a
32:14
player that I spoke about earlier in this earlier in this
32:16
podcast that I traded for Brayden Point.
32:18
It is Ryan Nugent Hopkins of the Edmonton Oilers.
32:22
Now listen, I feel like Ryan Nugent Hopkins is one of those
32:25
guys that is in a great area for fantasy because he has value.
32:31
People think he has like a super high ceiling, but he's not that
32:36
good in terms of like what people view him as.
32:39
So it's kind of like he's good, but he's not that good.
32:42
Anyways, all that jumble mumbo jumbo to say that he's averaging
32:45
point for a game this season. He's at .6 power play points per
32:48
game. He's averaging 1.8 shots and no
32:51
category coverage, like about half a hit, no blocks, barely
32:55
any faceoff wins. He's playing with McDavid most
32:57
of the time. Zach Hyman is around the corner
33:01
in terms of his return. And listen, like last year he
33:04
was at .6 points. This is a point per game.
33:08
Now the the the Edmonton Oilers power play last year was
33:11
significantly worse than it was this year.
33:13
Like it did not hit the highest it should have last year.
33:15
But all that to say, he's performing at a level that would
33:18
the name value that he comes with and the production that
33:20
he's having on the eyes. When you open his game log,
33:22
you're seeing a lot of power play points.
33:23
You're seeing a lot of points even though the category
33:25
coverage is not there. I still think that you can sell
33:28
him for a guide that will be filling up the statute for you.
33:31
Maybe has a slightly lower point ceiling, but I'm not expecting
33:34
render Hopkins to be a point bringing rest of season either.
33:37
So if you can trade him for a guy that has a lot of potential
33:41
that is not performing at their highest level yet either, I'm
33:44
talking about like Quentin Byfield, Dylan Holloway, Robert
33:48
Thomas, Vincent Trocheck, even McKenzie Weigher.
33:51
I would do that in a one for one swap.
33:53
And I think all these names are honestly very attainable.
33:56
Holloway recently has started getting a little hotter.
33:59
He's still banging, but a little bit of a point streak going.
34:02
The Blues are maybe on the come up in the near future, like
34:06
maybe it's a few weeks away, but Robert Thomas is hurt and he was
34:09
not doing anything special beforehand.
34:10
Vincent Trocheck is still currently hurt.
34:12
He's also around the corner. We're looking at maybe the first
34:14
week of November as his return. I would much rather these guys
34:17
because you're getting not only the foundation with the category
34:20
coverage for the bangers, but also they might even get more
34:23
points in New Hope the rest of the season.
34:25
And I don't know what his five production is going to be when
34:28
Hyman comes back. All that to say, there's a lot
34:30
of questions here. I think you need to capitalize
34:31
on the name to get an upgrade. Yeah, this is, this is a great
34:36
choice, especially because similar to Montour, who had a
34:39
crazy 2223 season, yeah, 104 points that year nude.
34:43
That's crazy when you can say that you're selling a 100.100
34:50
point player playing with Connor McDavid performing at an elite
34:55
level. Yeah.
34:56
Like it? It's almost like too good to be
34:59
true, except for all the caveats you mentioned.
35:02
Yeah, there's a certain magic to playing with McDavid and
35:06
Draisaitl in terms of trade name value and just like fantasy,
35:10
perceived value, cuz it doesn't always translate.
35:13
You know, there's always a guy who gets plugged in with McDavid
35:16
online ones with McDavid said alright, Tomasek, you've got
35:19
Trent Frederick, you've got, you know, whatever.
35:22
Like over the years also, and they're just never fantasy of
35:25
it, but does that stop thousands of people from running to pick
35:27
them up and hoping, you know, like it's, there's such a
35:30
incredible name value there on McDavid and Draisaitl that
35:35
anyone playing near them gets a boost in name value.
35:38
And then R and himself has that value because like you said,
35:41
Jake, he put up that 100 points in like 2 years ago.
35:44
He was obviously like, you know, good much better in his, in his
35:47
heyday also and all that. So now this is a great name to
35:50
trade. I like all the names you
35:51
mentioned. I think they're one attainable
35:54
and two would be a great trade. So I like that lot.
35:57
Yeah, it's it's definitely a a good time to sell them to,
36:02
especially as you mentioned, the hymen coming back like that is
36:05
humongous. Yeah, because he's gonna play
36:07
with McDavid, and there's a real chance that RNH goes from today
36:12
playing with Connor McDavid, Andrew, Andrew Pani, to playing
36:14
on the third line with Massive 1.
36:16
That's exactly it, like if he's not playing on that first line,
36:19
he often is the third line centre on that team.
36:21
He's not even talk. He's getting bumped down to line
36:22
2 with dry side which is obviously not that bad to be
36:24
either. But like no, he can get bumped
36:26
down to line 3. He's got power play one on lock.
36:27
Seriously. Like this could be the type of
36:29
player who ends the season with like .7 points per game, .3
36:32
power play points, 1.5 shots, and no other back ads.
36:37
Which is essentially other than the power play points is pretty
36:40
much somewhere to stream but waiver wire.
36:43
Exactly. So yeah, this is a great time to
36:45
sell. And when you're mentioning him,
36:47
like when you're talking to the person you're trading with and
36:49
saying like, oh, look how great of a player he is, whatever, do
36:52
not forget to mention his past two playoff performances, which
36:55
have been nearly a point per game, 20 and 22 last year and 22
37:00
and 25 the year before. So like, yeah, keep performance
37:03
when it counts. He's reliable, He's clutch.
37:05
All those lies. I mean the numbers back up make
37:10
it. Work.
37:11
No, no, yeah, no, he's obviously actually clutching.
37:14
He's a really good IRL player. It's just you want, it's about
37:17
winning fantasy, and that's about stats.
37:19
He's absolutely one of the best three seasons in the league if
37:21
he's playing 3C, but it's just for fantasy.
37:24
That just doesn't translate to value.
37:27
Exactly OK to my cell high. It is someone I've been seeing
37:34
all over hockey, anything social media, you know, like pundits,
37:40
whatever, who are saying that this guy is back and it's his
37:44
time to shine. It is Trevor Zegers of the not
37:48
Anaheim Ducks, the Philadelphia Flyers.
37:51
He's obviously an integral part of Philly's early success this
37:55
year, which I'm feeling decent about because I was kind of high
37:57
on Philly. And it's hard for me to kind of
37:59
go with this cell high because I really do believe that there are
38:02
a decent team this year still. Like the Metropolitan is stacked
38:08
and I don't think they're going to necessarily make the
38:10
playoffs, but they can make a push.
38:11
But right now he's at 1.2 points per game this season and that is
38:16
obviously not sustainable. This, as we mentioned with
38:20
Montour, it's not a going out of business.
38:22
Sell everything and he's a sick late round dart throw.
38:26
The guy in our league got up 1.2 points per game player in zeros
38:30
and the 19th round, which is unbelievable.
38:33
But at this point in the year, he's playing like next year's
38:37
4th, 5th round pick because his, you know, category coverage is
38:41
negligible. More on that later, but I
38:43
anticipate is going to be more like a tenth round pick moving
38:46
forward for the rest of the season.
38:48
He had two amazing years with the Ducks that start his career,
38:51
but then he fell off considerably and this new change
38:53
of scenery seems like it's going to revitalize his career.
38:56
So that's good, but it's really the pace and the lack of Bangor
39:00
categories that make me want to sell them.
39:03
The peripherals, banger categories, whatever you want to
39:05
call it, aren't going to change at all.
39:07
He has negligible hits, face offs, and a massive Max Max two
39:12
shots on goal per game which is honestly even a stretch.
39:15
He's also not power play one, which doesn't really mean much
39:17
because playing with no case on power play too and he's the
39:19
GOAT. That's a joke, but yeah.
39:23
Thank you for specifying. Listen, no case has been good,
39:26
but not relevant right now. But yeah, all getting inside.
39:30
It's a split power play. But that also doesn't bode well
39:33
for a player success, which is entirely contingent on points.
39:36
It's really about selling what the right price.
39:39
And I think with the name value, because of his success in
39:41
Anaheim and the amazing pace so far, you can get something
39:44
really good. So Kevin plagiarized my Bi Lo by
39:49
Target and Quentin Byfield, but you know, but if you have RNH or
39:53
Trevor Zagreus, you could sell them frequent and buy fields
39:57
because he's been .4 less points per game than cigars, but really
40:00
good for Bangor caddies categories already.
40:02
So that's great. Then I'm looking at Nichushkin,
40:07
who's quite good, Nikishin, which I don't know if you guys
40:11
are necessarily going to agree with me, but we'll talk about
40:14
that soon. And then Monahan and if somehow
40:18
this is possible to get Gustafson my aforementioned.
40:22
Though then I don't hate that either, but you'd probably have
40:26
to package them with like Jerry or Merligen.
40:28
So first let's tell me why the Nikishin offer sucks, and then
40:31
the other less controversial ones.
40:34
Shaking his head when you were talking, so I'll let him.
40:36
Yeah, I felt it. I didn't even see you, but I
40:39
felt. Well, first of all, I agree with
40:42
the whole cell high. He's performing like crazy and
40:45
it's not gonna keep up. I don't trust anyone on Philly
40:48
to necessarily get this many points.
40:50
The only guy going in this season I thought might have a
40:51
shot would be Michkov and he showed up and been awful.
40:55
So no, I do not expect Trevor Siegrist to be over a point per
40:57
game and he doesn't offer anything in terms of back cats.
40:59
So fully on the sell high in terms of your targets by field.
41:03
I love I love that. You know, sometimes it's great
41:06
with the way we structure our episode.
41:08
Even if a guy is not specifically one of our bylaws,
41:10
he gets mentioned as a target a couple times and you're like,
41:12
oh, that guy is a buy low. Even though we didn't go into
41:14
details about you. I love that one.
41:16
I love chicken. Also.
41:17
I think that'd be a great Bilo Monahan I think is amazing.
41:19
And I just I don't think that you're gonna get Gustafson for
41:23
Zachris. It would have to like, I mean,
41:25
you mentioned it would have to be with a goalie like a Jerry
41:28
Ormers Lykins. I still don't see the guy doing
41:30
it. But you know what, each league
41:32
is different. So I think it's it would be a
41:34
great trade if you could pull it off Nikisha and I'm just don't
41:36
have much interest in. I think at this point I'm
41:38
comfortable saying he is not going to smell a touch of power
41:41
play time this entire year. When 3 or four of your top
41:44
defensemen go out and you're still not getting power play
41:47
time, not even on the second power play, then you're just not
41:49
gonna be that guy. So he's not getting the power
41:51
play and he's putting up good banger cats, but he's putting up
41:55
good points to start the season, but that's not gonna last.
41:56
He's a rookie and it's just even strength and he's not
41:59
necessarily getting the craziest ice time.
42:01
Once all the guys come back. All I just say I like him as a
42:04
bangers defenseman, but I've no real interest in in trading for
42:08
him. I'd rather just take zebras and
42:09
see what he can do than taking action.
42:13
Yeah, cause Dominic, don't get me wrong, I think on an earlier
42:16
podcast right at the very start of the season, or maybe it was
42:19
just me and Josh talking off the pod, but we talked about, you
42:22
know, where certain guys are, where are you willing to take
42:25
them in the draft and if you have any interest in them at
42:28
all, like guys like Stamkos, we're like no matter how far
42:30
they fall, not drafting stamp goes this year.
42:33
I mentioned stamp cost because we've had a couple of people
42:36
talk about him and the. Discount and stop asking.
42:39
Me. Even in the deepest leagues like
42:41
let's say there's nobody on waivers, only like one or two
42:43
when guys then maybe I'd rather stem cost, but.
42:45
Like you should have drafted him but it's not worth holding a
42:48
dead roster spot all year. If you see him, if you see him
42:50
drop, like I'm not looking to pick him.
42:52
Up. No, but pick him up if.
42:53
He's serious was one of those guys that we talked about like
42:56
in the 18th, 19th, 20th round. It's just like these guys that
42:59
it's low risk. Like those guys you end up
43:00
dropping after a few weeks in the season anyway.
43:02
So might as well take a guy that has the upside and look at what
43:05
you can do for your team. If you drafted in the 19th round
43:08
of your fantasy league and he's producing an over a point per
43:10
game, you're able to flip him for maybe a guy that was drafted
43:13
in the 7th, 8th, 9th round. It's gonna stay on your
43:15
authority entire year with like a good foundation.
43:17
Like that's the type of move that you have to make.
43:19
If you can get within by field, I think that's amazing.
43:21
If you get this amazing Monahan amazing.
43:24
Like I really want those guys on my team.
43:26
Nikisha, I agree with Josh. I feel like he's a little bit
43:28
too 1 dimensional in terms of the bangers where if I have
43:31
zero, I'm trying to flip him for a guy give me points.
43:33
Like I want to capitalize on like his point performance and
43:36
get a good, it's going to be able to produce that
43:38
consistently from my roster. So if you have them, I'm happy
43:42
with this production. I think he'll have a higher
43:44
floor than I expected, but it's not gonna be near a point per
43:48
game. And try to capitalize on that
43:50
value and get something really good.
43:53
Yeah, then it question one was a bit of a stretch.
43:55
Let let me, let me, let me take. Application on his team so I was
43:58
just trying to self fulfilling. Prophecy this into you.
44:00
Like if someone offered me seekers for him, would I accept
44:03
it? Yes.
44:04
Yeah, you should absolutely accept that.
44:06
And then you just pick up like a Mario Ferraro or.
44:08
Literally, yeah. Listen, I think it was.
44:11
Super Mario. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:15
But honestly, it's just really about people getting very
44:20
impatient to start the season. That's why I think Gustafson is
44:23
an actual realistic target for zeros because egress does have
44:27
the name value. It's not like the Mulkin who's
44:29
had a years of amazing production.
44:31
And notice that I would call it a name value.
44:33
It's like pedigree value because the name I think recently has
44:37
stink. Yeah, but also the trade.
44:39
I love when you can sell that to someone you're clearly look at
44:42
the change in scenery made him into that knew he could be you
44:45
know it's a great. Exactly what I'm saying yeah

45:19
to go look at what the press channel is and just see me like
45:22
talking to myself in there, being like my guys keep getting
45:25
hurt, my opponents, guys keep getting picked up off waivers
45:27
are dropping 4 points on me. The the formal nomenclature is
45:32
fantasy sucks venting channel there you go the past like how
45:37
messages are just Kevin being like this sucks.
45:41
I hate everything Why is Matthew Olivier thing, but but it's it's
45:46
a good place to to, you know, vent about your.
45:49
Fantasy Matthew Olivia was actually funny because earlier
45:51
that day I picked him up in a different league to stream just
45:54
four hits, and I ended up getting the four points against
45:57
my opponent. So I was like, what?
45:59
I'd rather just know four points across the board, but at least I
46:03
got some some, some share of it. Exactly, exactly.
46:07
You've lost. But what caused vibes?
