All right, let's do playoff primer.
0:04
Wow, that's like cheeky taking. Your what?
0:06
You rather? Yeah, that was.
0:08
Alright, y'all ready? Yes.
0:11
Own Banger Management Fantasy hockey podcast.
0:14
Woo woo. A little lock eyes with Jake,
0:20
Yeah. Seriously, I just don't know
0:22
what. He's so stressed every time.
0:24
Yeah, what's gonna happen? At the edge of his.
0:26
Seat, I thought you gonna do like a heavy metal wood like
0:28
you're. Surprised you?
0:30
Yeah. OK, OK, It's always something to
0:33
keep in mind. It's just a game for me and you
0:35
to play together while the listeners just roll their eyes.
0:37
Yeah, exactly. Exactly.
0:40
OK, welcome and everyone of Anger Management, the fantasy
0:44
Hockey podcast with Jake, Josh and Kevin.
0:48
So as you all know, it is the Four Nations face off week this
0:54
week, so we're not going to be talking about streamers.
0:57
Instead, we decided we would do a playoff primer episode for you
1:01
all, which could be very helpful as you should start thinking
1:04
about. That most helpful episode.
1:08
Ampleness. You know, you know.
1:12
Yeah, yeah, we're English well around here specifically.
1:16
So yeah, this could be tremendously valuable, amply
1:18
valuable to all of you. And I think, yeah, I think you
1:22
should stick around. Cool.
1:25
Great intro. So yeah.
1:26
And as always, you can find the link to our social media in the
1:29
link tree in the podcast description.
1:31
OK, Josh, start us off. Alright, so this episode is
1:35
gonna focus on leagues whose playoffs are weeks 22 to 24.
1:39
So 22 would be the quarter finals, 24 would be the finals.
1:42
So I'm going to start off by listing some of the teams with
1:45
the best playoff schedules and some of the worst playoff
1:47
schedule. So yeah, so the teams with the
1:50
best playoff schedule by most games played.
1:52
So these would be teams that have 11 games over the span of
1:55
week 22 to 24 our Montreal, Dallas, Ottawa, Minnesota,
2:00
Nashville, Calgary, Buffalo and LA.
2:02
So that's eight teams that play 11 times over the span of those
2:06
three weeks. That's 24 game weeks and one
2:08
three-game week. I see you.
2:10
Sounds like someone who's been trying to buy Kadri All.
2:13
Yeah, OK. I think it's finally putting the
2:16
pieces. Together I've been fighting for
2:18
my life, trying to make the playoffs.
2:20
Like I gotta start thinking about this.
2:21
I've been trying to poach all your vesta.
2:23
Playoffs. Yeah, I see you.
2:26
So that's the guys at the most games played.
2:28
Then if you were in a league that has a bio week and you're
2:31
just focused on weeks 23 and 24, the teams that have the most
2:35
games on those two weeks, so those would be 8 games, four in
2:37
both weeks are Montreal, Dallas, Ottawa and Minnesota.
2:41
Then it's also obviously important to keep in mind off
2:44
nights because if you load up on a bunch of guys who play a bunch
2:46
of times, but then you have to bench a few of them for not
2:49
having off night games, it kind of defeats the purpose.
2:51
So by week, here are the teams that don't play on two of the
2:56
busy nights. The busy nights are usually
2:57
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. So, and this is not including
3:00
teams that only play twice because obviously they're not
3:02
going to play on busy nights because they're not playing.
3:04
So in Week 22, the off night guys to target are Columbus, MN
3:08
and Pittsburgh. So Week 22 has the fewest teams
3:10
that don't play on the off nights.
3:12
Week 23 has a few more options. You've got Anaheim, Carolina,
3:16
Chicago, Columbus, NJ Islanders, Vancouver, Winnipeg and Utah.
3:21
And then 24, the championship week, you've got Carolina,
3:24
Chicago, Detroit, Minnesota Islanders, Seattle, Vancouver
3:28
and Washington. So.
3:30
This is this is a lot of info, so if it's normal, may be hard
3:34
to keep track of if you're just listening.
3:36
So feel free to rewind and maybe take some notes down while
3:39
you're listening to this, yeah. It's important and keep in mind
3:43
that Week 20 4 ends the week before the regular season.
3:48
So This is why most leagues should play like this because in
3:51
the last week, like a lot of NHL teams benched their best guys.
3:55
But of course for Week 23 and 24 especially, it's super relevant
3:59
for everybody involved because that's your quarters and semis,
4:03
so. You mean semis and finals?
4:05
Quarters and semis if it's like if they are going to the end, so
4:08
this can be applicable. For us, we 25 is the worst week.
4:11
It's like a week and a half. It's like teams are playing
4:13
what, like seven games in that? Yeah, but.
4:15
Like all the best players are getting benched.
4:17
Exactly. Starters are resting, they're
4:19
not playing. So realistically, this advice is
4:21
the best we can give because like, no one's resting in these
4:25
weeks. If you have a lot of our
4:26
listeners have championship Week to Week 25, let us know in the
4:30
comments and maybe we'll make a separate episode driving into
4:32
that. Good idea.
4:33
OK, And then just finishing off the teams here are the teams
4:35
with the worst playoff schedule. This is any team that has A2
4:39
game week from weeks 22 to 24. So some of these actually, like
4:44
specifically the last two I'm going to mention they have 10
4:46
games over the span of the three weeks, which is a good amount of
4:50
games, but it's a 442 or a 424. And just any team that's gonna
4:54
give you a 2 game week, that could be the week that you get
4:55
eliminated. So yeah, I'm counting that as a
4:57
bad playoff schedule. So the teams listed from worst
5:01
to best, worst is the Rangers, then you've got San Jose,
5:04
Devils, Detroit, Florida, Philly, and then Toronto and
5:08
Boston are the two teams that have 10 games over that span.
5:11
But one of those weeks is A2 game week.
5:13
So I'm just going to quickly give a bit of general playoff
5:17
strategy and then we're going to dive into each team specifically
5:20
and some players to target and some players to try and trade
5:22
away. So obviously you want to
5:24
maximize your games played during the playoffs so that in
5:26
each matchup you have a decent games advantage over your
5:28
opponents. The best way to guarantee wins
5:29
is to stack the odds in your favor through games played.
5:32
When collecting players with good playoff schedule through
5:34
trades or free agency, you also want to take into account the
5:37
off nights. Otherwise the extra games played
5:38
won't matter since you'll have to bench players.
5:40
However many bench spots your league has, that's how many off
5:42
night guys you want to make sure to have on your team for that
5:44
week. When making trades for players
5:46
with better playoff schedules, it can be OK to give up slightly
5:49
more value in the trade. If a player averages an extra .2
5:52
points per game, but he plays half the games of another
5:54
player, the player with the more games played will still get you
5:56
more points for that week. So don't be afraid to, you know,
5:59
give up slightly more value if it'll improve your playoff
6:01
schedule. This is a very data-driven kind
6:04
of way to approach fantasy in general, right?
6:07
You're kind of looking at it through averages that you're
6:10
aggregate over a certain amount of games or whatnot, as opposed
6:13
to just like the name value of the individual players.
6:15
That can be pretty overwhelming when you're looking at in a
6:18
trade and like putting a lot of emphasis for that, but being
6:21
able to kind of map it out and target, you know, your wins over
6:25
volume is also a really good strategy.
6:28
Yeah, TM, sorry. Yeah, wanted to be involved.
6:32
Nice. So now let's dive into the team
6:37
specifically. The eight teams that I had
6:39
mentioned have 11 games over the span of these three weeks, and
6:42
we're going to talk about specific players you can target
6:44
in trades. So we're gonna start with
6:45
Minnesota. They've got some guys that you
6:47
can target in trades, Acrylic Kaprizov, Matt Boldy, Joel
6:50
Ericsson, Ek Matt Zuccarello and Marco Rossi.
6:53
So Erickson Eck is really here for Bangor leagues.
6:56
That's the first thing to mention.
6:58
But he's a stud for that, absolutely.
7:00
Rossi may get bumped off power play one when Kaprizov comes
7:04
back. So that's something to keep in
7:06
mind as well. But you know, as you mentioned,
7:09
if you're in the playoffs, Kaprizov can be a really good
7:13
guy to hold or trade for. It's a great buy.
7:15
Low target right now because he's hurt.
7:18
But yeah, all excellent options. If I want to try to give you
7:21
guys a names off the top of my head real quick to maybe you can
7:24
think of using as potential trade bait for these guys.
7:27
Like I mean, Josh just pulled off a magnificent trade.
7:30
Jasper Bradford, Matt Boldy, completely revamping your
7:34
playoff schedule there with two added games in the championship,
7:36
which is huge when you think about it, even though Brad, you
7:39
know, obviously is still going to get points between now and
7:41
the end of the season. I mean boldly with four games
7:43
bread or two games is like a clear decision right there for
7:47
Caprica. Who would you give up?
7:48
Would you be willing to give for Caprice of who is what may be
7:51
going to come back in Week 23? I think it's like the optimistic
7:56
view. You shouldn't have to give up
7:58
too much, especially if the team you're trading with who has
8:00
Kaprizov is out of a playoff spot because realistically he
8:04
shouldn't have any value for that team.
8:06
Yeah, you know, assuming they're fighting for the chance to make
8:09
it to the playoffs in the 1st place.
8:10
That being said, no one's gonna give him to you for as cheap as
8:13
you should be able to get him because of the name value and
8:15
because of people being, you know, they just don't want to
8:17
give you the win even though they can't have it.
8:18
So you're still going to have to pay a bit, but don't overpay.
8:22
Would you give Brock Besser? For results or.
8:25
Would you give 2 Meyer? I would give Myra.
8:27
Would you give Carter Verhaeghe? Yep.
8:29
Ohk, OK, that one, that one's getting kind of.
8:31
Close Alex Debrincat Yeah, I think obviously if you're team
8:35
is looking to make the playoffs, do not trade for companies off
8:37
right. This is the Caprice specifically
8:39
of these ones is assuming you're comfortably in a playoff
8:42
position and are looking towards.
8:43
You're basically trading away a dead roster spot for Kaprizov in
8:46
your semifinals and finals. Yeah, exactly.
8:49
Yeah, but I mean, realistically, they're all good.
8:54
Gets done. No, there's no way.
8:56
I think you're gonna aim higher. Yard.
8:58
I think you gotta give like. I mean, you're.
9:00
You're now could work because at least he's got the name value,
9:03
you know? Yeah.
9:04
But. It's huge.
9:05
Yeah, I would give him up. You have to make sure that
9:09
you're comfortably in a playoffs like you know what I mean?
9:12
So that's. Yeah, Kaprizov out of all these
9:14
is the most like you're so comfortable in playoff spot, but
9:17
he's also gonna be the highest upside come.
9:18
Playoff time. He's a top five player when
9:20
he's. Healthy, yeah, the rest of these
9:21
guys are Rossi is the one that like JK mentioned, like he's
9:25
gonna lose his power play spot when Chris comes back.
9:27
But I will say he's shown that he's still withholding even when
9:31
not having that power play spot. But you don't like buy high on
9:33
him assuming that he's gonna have that whole all year when we
9:35
know if it's coming back. That was more of a lower stakes
9:38
1. Yeah, rotten might be on your
9:39
waivers, but if he's not on your waivers and you know, you're in
9:42
a very deep league, I think he's still worth like, you know,
9:44
looking at for for trade. But I'd I'd give guys like
9:47
laugh. Yeah, I think lots of laugh.
9:49
On the Rangers 2 game, I mean worst playoff schedule, I think
9:53
that's a you can maybe look at flipping.
9:55
We should move on to the next team.
9:57
But I will quickly say in the middle guys I think are the most
10:00
interesting ones, which are Baldy, Erickson, Atkinson,
10:02
Corello. All of them are a little
10:04
slumping With Kaprizov out. They're not gonna be a dead
10:07
roster spot like get trading for Presov.
10:09
Yeah, but they should all get a bump right when Caprice off
10:11
comes back. Yeah.
10:12
So that's kind of like, you know, you're buying low on a guy
10:14
who should come and show up the most when it matters most.
10:17
So I like Minnesota a lot. And they have.
10:20
They were one of the teams that is a combination of many games
10:22
played and many off nights. So they're actually my favorite
10:25
team to target for for the playoffs.
10:26
And obviously when you're looking at trades like this,
10:28
you're optimally you want to get rid of the guys with bad playoff
10:31
schedules on your teams for guys with better playoff schedules in
10:34
the league that's competitive in that everybody's aware of this,
10:37
It'll be harder to to do. But ultimately you gotta look at
10:40
the what you can do. You want to maximize the games
10:42
played right. You wanna you wanna give away
10:44
too much just to force you guys in the.
10:45
Roster. Yeah, Yeah, exactly.
10:46
Yeah. So next I'll talk about the
10:48
Habs. They don't have as many
10:51
important assets as Minnesota, but some guys you can target are
10:54
Caulfield, Suzuki and Hudson. So I didn't mention Liney, but
10:58
Line could be there as well. And I don't think anyone else is
11:02
really worth worth trading for perhaps.
11:04
This is this is pure offensive star power, I would say.
11:07
I mean, ball fields is good for shots, Suzuki is good for face
11:09
offs, but other than that, I mean what you're getting here is
11:12
just kind of like a fun team with like high potential for
11:14
points. Yeah, I mean, I would really
11:17
like to have Caulfield and Suzuki on my fantasy team.
11:20
I think Cofield is the most attractive option because his
11:22
shot volume is just so. High and his flow.
11:24
And his. You phrased it, you're gone.
11:31
I mean, I think trades like if you could give Brad Marshan for
11:36
coffee all yeah, I'm looking at like Alex talk even for Hague
11:40
spoke about, you know, I think guys like Dad first Suzuki, I'd
11:44
give a I mean, if you just listen to one of our previous
11:46
episodes by low sell high. We spoke about Cofield already,
11:48
but because they banged for a cold Cofield, who's really hot
11:51
right now. Yeah, I think that's like that.
11:53
And Montreal is a good target because they've got four games
11:57
in week 23 and 24 and they have a lot of good matchups in that
12:00
span. And also the whole team is
12:02
slumping right now so pretty much the entire team is a bi lo
12:04
so you should be able. To get the person.
12:06
I sent that but he rejected. But that should be able to get.
12:10
Done if you're not. Where people actually trade,
12:12
then that should. Be able and non habs fans yeah
12:15
right. Like for sure cool.
12:18
Let's move on to the next this. Is a big one, yeah.
12:21
This team has a lot of good options.
12:22
And that's Dallas. So you've got Robertson,
12:26
Johnston, Hints, Duchene, Harley, Grandland, Ben.
12:30
Marchman. It's more of like a free agent
12:33
pickup you'll take for a for a good.
12:34
Schedule. Yeah, this is big, of course.
12:38
I think, I think Robertson here is the biggest guy, the biggest
12:41
name on this. List also by far the least
12:43
attainable I would say, just because he's already really
12:46
picked up. Hardest guy, but I mean not
12:48
picking up Jason Robertson off flavors.
12:51
Johnston has, you know, he's kind of like a Walmart
12:55
second-half Fiala, if you will. Yeah, he's been really good to
12:58
closeout the season in the past to the past two years.
13:00
So I really like the Johnston ad, you know, trade whatever do.
13:05
She's been overperforming a bit and Harley will probably lose
13:09
his spot to his Canadian in the last week if he he's going to is
13:13
back on time. So just to keep in mind for
13:15
those. But I mean, yes, of course these
13:17
are great options like all around.
13:18
Yeah. And the nice thing with these is
13:20
like there's a range of Robertson then right where like,
13:23
you know, whatever level guy you're willing to trade away,
13:26
there's a Dallas player for you, you know, like.
13:28
Yeah, seriously. Yeah, that's a great point.
13:31
Would you trade Jake Guentzel for Jason Robertson?
13:33
Yeah, I would. Yeah, see, that's that's a good
13:36
one, because that seems like you'd rather Gensel at this
13:39
stage. So this is where this episode
13:41
came out a lot of. Value Would you rather Dylan
13:43
Larkin or why Johnston? I would take Johnston.
13:47
Yeah, I've actually been trying to make that swap, but really to
13:50
no avail. Yeah, it's like you're gaining
13:52
two extra games in the Finals, which is just massive, you know,
13:55
like, and that's the thing, like if it's if you have guys that
13:58
are even in the conversation of who's better, you know, where
14:01
it's not super obvious, then getting the guy with a better
14:03
playoff schedule is the win. You know, even if it's like this
14:06
guy's definitely better, but it's close, it could be worth
14:09
trading away the better one for a guy with a better playoff
14:12
schedule. Would you give a like a
14:14
Voronkov? For Gronland or.
14:17
Or Ben? What about?
14:19
What about Patrick Kane? Yeah.
14:21
I just don't know if those get it done.
14:23
OK, what about? I think Kane could get it done
14:25
for for one of. Those guys rock Besser.
14:27
Yeah, I mean, I'm just not a fan of Besser to be.
14:29
Honest. Yeah.
14:30
Do you think Anders Lee gets it done?
14:32
No. I think it could depends.
14:34
On being better than both of those.
14:35
Guys, Yeah, yeah, You know, I don't think a lot.
14:38
I think grandma's a lot harder to get done than Ben because I
14:41
think a lot of people will see Grand just got traded.
14:43
So they're like, oh, I want to see what happens.
14:44
You traded to a better team, not realizing that often when a guy
14:47
gets traded to a better team, it makes them worse.
14:48
But so I think Grand kind of has that new trade glow around him
14:51
that would make him a bit harder to get.
14:53
I think Ben, especially the fact that he got bumped off Power
14:55
Play 1 is just hasn't been great lately, is very attainable.
14:58
What about? Markel would rather have him
15:00
over these guys because he's getting the power back exposure,
15:02
right? You don't wanna take too big of
15:03
a Dick just for a guy with an extra.
15:04
Game. Yeah, that's it.
15:05
So there's a line you have. To draw.
15:06
Yeah, exactly. You don't want that.
15:08
Pretty much exactly what you said.
15:09
It's very much like take you're willing to take a small or have
15:13
a very fair trade where you're getting the playoff schedule,
15:16
but you're not willing to, you're gonna downgrade a player
15:18
massively just for an extra game.
15:19
All right, so next we've got Ottawa.
15:21
Some guys you can target again with varying levels of
15:24
attainability, but you've got Kuchuk, Stutzel, Batherson,
15:28
Sanderson, Norris and Jiru. Hypothetically, Kevin, yes.
15:33
Would you trade Tom Wilson in fashion Call for Brady to truck?
15:37
So depends on your league settings.
15:39
Obviously if you don't have hits, then no.
15:43
If you have hits, it's obviously a big question.
15:46
But I mean, we just spoke about. This and you need to have Pimms
15:48
also. Yeah, Pimms obviously is huge
15:50
and that's really one of the reasons why Brady contract is
15:53
so, so valuable. But I mean, that's that's tough.
15:57
What do you guys think? Because I looked at this, I did
15:59
the math right before I just said it was too much to give up,
16:01
too much points to give. Up.
16:02
It really depends who you're picking up with your free spot.
16:05
And so obviously the deeper the league, the worse the trade is
16:08
because the less you guys are available.
16:10
But but yeah, less. Instead of talking about that
16:13
one specific trade, let's go. Through, but that's the type of
16:15
thing that you can look. At Tom Wilson and Special for
16:18
Brady Ketchup and Super Fetty. To Chuck is just not been very
16:22
good. Point.
16:25
But yeah, and you noted that both Giroud and Sanderson are by
16:29
high, so they're the least desirable here.
16:31
I think it's a great target as well.
16:32
So this has been a great buy low for awhile.
16:34
I mean he's heating up lately but but he still has been
16:37
underperforming on what people expect.
16:39
I think the biggest buy low on this list right now is
16:41
Batherson. He started off the season super
16:44
hot and then has been really bad lately.
16:45
So I would be targeting bathers and super hard if I didn't
16:48
already have him. But I think he's the best target
16:50
on this list. That's the Best Buy low.
16:52
Who's down bad when you start sending yourself trade?
16:54
Yeah. So it's.
16:57
Not like you think Timo for Batherson could get done.
16:59
You would have. I wouldn't do it.
17:01
I haven't kept because the playoff schedule.
17:02
I haven't kept an eye on Teemo and I'm very low on him.
17:04
But I think if he's putting up a decent stats lately, I think the
17:09
Batherson owner, if they're not aware of playoff schedule might
17:11
be very frustrated with them and I think that.
17:13
Could get done. If he has been solid, I think
17:15
that could get done. Five over the last month, That's
17:19
that's. Been really bad so.
17:21
That may just be a little over the line.
17:23
Do you think it's too much? Like I think that is over Timo
17:26
easy even regardless of. Playoff just think even name
17:28
value, you know what I mean? Because bother since it's been
17:30
so bad. You can maybe get Batherson
17:32
plus. Maybe, but I think if you have
17:35
Timo and you can get batters in one for one, I think that's a
17:38
slam dunk for you. Yeah, that would be a good offer
17:40
in general. Yeah, what's a good guy to give
17:42
for Stutzel, do you think, Scalabrini?
17:45
Yeah, that's a good one. I like that a lot.
17:47
We had mentioned about together in.
17:49
Our I think Shafley is a bit better.
17:54
Like just the just be good. Also has four 4 right?
17:57
Yeah. I know, but I just I just think
17:59
that like you don't have to give that.
18:01
I like your other guys I think. Celebrating value to him as
18:04
well. It's hard to get him.
18:06
Connect me. You think that's done?
18:08
I don't. He's been cold.
18:10
He's been what, Nico he's. The first thing you're gonna
18:12
say? No belief necessary, guys, he's
18:16
learning. These are all good ones.
18:18
He sure obviously depends on his injury status, but if he's
18:20
healthy, I think you could get yeah, and I would do that.
18:23
Job virus for the two two game week 24.
18:29
Maybe I should send that out now for only my only issue.
18:32
So yeah, my only issue is the shots on goal differential of
18:35
like you're losing like two shots per game from Tavares to
18:37
Stutzel. Yeah.
18:38
So it's. But the points are getting from
18:41
an actual two games. Yeah, I don't know about that
18:43
one, like I just don't know. Yeah, because you're right.
18:46
I mean just before that if you're appoints guy like the
18:53
differences in double far for you is the bigger categories,
18:57
meaning if you do send that for to virus, virus can get more
19:01
shots than subtle in the two games compared to the four Yeah
19:04
and still maybe outscore him. Yeah, you know so that's like a
19:07
bit tough. Yeah, I guess I would.
19:09
Bank on four games, those two told to get more points.
19:11
Wise, yeah, but I think shots wise, wise could get more shots
19:14
into yeah, no, absolutely. So it obviously depends on your
19:17
team, but I think that could be a good base of a trade.
19:19
You maybe make that like a 2 for two or.
19:21
Something but actually it probably is a good time to note
19:23
that like what I said that for players who are good at banger
19:28
categories like the Brady to Chucks in the world, like it's
19:31
extremely valuable. Whereas like if you're just
19:33
aiming for points like the aforementioned Grantland or
19:37
Duchane, yeah, like kind of who knows more, there's more
19:40
variability. So this is extremely, extremely
19:42
valuable for mangers. Leagues for sure.
19:43
Would you rather have Adam Fox or Jake Sanderson?
19:46
I mean, I think I you can get Sanderson plus for Fox and I
19:49
think I would do that. Yeah, that's a good one.
19:51
Shade, Theodore for Sanderson. That's tough because Vegas
19:54
doesn't have a bad playoff schedule.
19:55
It's just you're only getting one game of Sanderson.
19:57
So I think I would keep. Theodore Josh Morrissey because
20:00
Sanderson is really hot right now.
20:01
So yeah, it's not going to be some.
20:02
That's The thing is really the Sanderson interior, like I like
20:06
them as targets, but I would wait until they cool down a bit
20:09
because right now they're just by high.
20:10
So you don't want to do. So by the time you listen to
20:12
this, make sure you look at how hot these guys are.
20:14
And I targeted Sanderson like 2 weeks ago before he went on this
20:18
hot streak. Prison rejected, I said done and
20:21
like Terry for Sanderson or something.
20:23
And yeah, anyways, one other guy I want to mention is Norris.
20:26
We've mentioned a ton on this pot over the year.
20:28
He's injured right now week to week.
20:30
This is probably the lowest his value is going to be because I
20:33
mean, it's very questionable where he is.
20:34
Again, this is a lot of this is coming from if you're in a place
20:36
of like, you know, you can afford to take on a guy with,
20:40
you know, who knows when he's gonna come.
20:41
Back for the. Playoffs exactly, but I I like
20:43
Norris a lot as a BI LO and bangers leagues because he's
20:46
going to get you like those shots face off wins hits with
20:49
you know a couple like say like .6 points as well.
20:52
So with four games in the last two weeks and you can get it for
20:55
pretty cheap with the injury, then now's a good time to.
20:57
Grab him artery, LinkedIn or Josh Norris.
21:00
Lacking in Oh OK yeah and well the only thing is does he get
21:04
bumped off power play one, but I think you could get.
21:10
You're doing it now too. Wrong cover North.
21:14
Contagious. It's rather Norris.
21:18
I think Norris as well. Yeah, especially with Marchenko
21:21
out, it's like, yeah, it's like there are two peas in a pod.
21:24
Yeah. Pod cool, let's move on to the
21:27
next. Team, so next team is Nashville,
21:29
so we've got Forsberg, Yosi, Marsha, so Stamkos, Oreilly
21:34
think those are the only guys of value on this year.
21:37
'S been incredible, so has been amazing as well.
21:40
I think Forsberg and Marsh so the buy low window has long
21:43
passed. So for them you'll have to
21:44
probably pay a premium or at least what they're worth this
21:47
value. I think Yoshi's the Best Buy low
21:49
here right now because that's the highest potential and has
21:51
been doing the, you know the worst compared to his potential.
21:54
Stamkos and O'Reilly are should be available for pretty cheap.
21:56
I think other than O'Reilly having like a forest game
21:58
randomly out of nowhere, but I think those guys are more like
22:01
low stakes ones that you can use.
22:02
Also what's cool about those guys is they win face off wins
22:05
and having an extra game of face off wins is massive.
22:08
If really cares about that. So is my favorite of these.
22:11
They need to go on like a crazy terror to make the playoffs,
22:14
making the playoffs like, but they're gonna try because like
22:17
we were speaking about this earlier, they already bought all
22:19
these players in free agency. So they have no choice.
22:22
They're not a young team. They're like a win now team
22:24
who's just gone horribly. Yeah, who are some guys are
22:26
training for Roman Yosi, since he's the most attainable.
22:29
Zacharski, I've been saying this for we.
22:31
Really weren't also has four games.
22:33
But he's got a three 3-4 and yes, he's a 434.
22:37
I know you're only gaining one game there, but I think in
22:39
general is a great buy low, sell high.
22:44
I don't think so. Gets it, doesn't get it done,
22:46
Edmond. I don't think I'd make it.
22:48
Done gets it done either because the other guys that are, you
22:51
know, worth in that category also have four games, right.
22:53
It's like *** Daleen like. Probably Cider.
22:57
Cider has a bad playoff schedule that.
22:59
One, but cider is just different.
23:01
Yeah, obviously it's a different, but having.
23:03
Like 3 hits a game which is. Sure, but two games of cider
23:07
versus like four games of Yoc is like a no brainer.
23:10
So doesn't have two in the championship.
23:11
Though I think he has two in the the middle week.
23:13
Yeah, yeah. No2 in the quarters.
23:15
In the quarter finals, OK Adam Fox as we keep the.
23:19
Yeah, I think you don't know that wouldn't necessarily.
23:22
Get it done. He's a tough one to.
23:24
Love Jones right now, says Jones.
23:26
Plus for Yosi. Yosi Why would Seth Jones work
23:32
over Hedman? Substance has been really good.
23:36
I know it's been the best defence man over the last.
23:37
Month, yeah, he's been really, really good, great sell high.
23:40
Yeah, I mean, obviously I take Victor Hedman, but yeah, I think
23:43
Hedman could get it done honestly for you.
23:45
Yeah, that could be something. Over the last month has been
23:47
better, yeah, but maybe just to add a little.
23:49
Something so just wanna ask about Stamkos.
23:52
Is this even worth it to buy? It's worth it to buy for the
23:55
right. Price.
23:56
That's it. So like, it's gotta be the low.
23:58
Yeah, like it's gotta be. Both.
24:00
I think both Stamkos and O'Reilly are like you're paying
24:02
pretty cheap. For the benefit of Stamkos.
24:05
Savannah, Chad. And that's.
24:07
Even with the Yeah, yeah. That's what.
24:09
You don't know how much lower to go then.
24:11
Afghani or Stamkos? Yeah, no, The thing is that like
24:18
on your roster, Robert gonna have No, Thomas isn't overpay.
24:22
You're gonna have guys of similar level on your roster.
24:24
Every roster has, you know, from like bad to good guys.
24:27
So just find the guy who's like a similar.
24:28
Level just not worth buying at that point.
24:30
You sure just buying on name? Value.
24:32
You sure with the bad playoff schedule?
24:35
No, I'd still take hesher overstamp.
24:36
Yeah, so just don't treat for stamp goes.
24:38
Down, but you guys are naming really good players, you know
24:40
like. Dubois.
24:41
Yeah, usually it takes Stamkos over Dubai.
24:43
Four games of Dubois. What's four games of Stamkos?
24:47
Yeah, true, but it was good. Kevin traded away Dubois.
24:52
Yeah. Evolution, though?
24:56
No one. No one.
24:58
Could get done. That's that's I think get done
25:00
and I would take Stamkos for sure.
25:02
What are coins up? I know.
25:03
That's crazy. How the mighty.
25:04
Effect Anthony Cirelli, Cairo. That's tough.
25:08
That's tough. Course it's been so bad.
25:09
He's been so bad. I think you need to like if
25:11
you're gonna offer a guy who's like higher value, you can't do
25:14
it for like one extra game. You have to do it for like 2-3
25:18
extra games, you know, So that's.
25:20
Why your stamp goes? I think it's still connecting,
25:22
actually. First time goes Stamkos balls.
25:27
Yeah, I'll take Stamkos. Stamkos over Smoltz, Yeah.
25:30
Do you think that could even come close?
25:32
Possibly it's possible, yeah. Like that wasn't really.
25:34
A bit cold, but he went on a pretty crazy run and then
25:37
Gunther came back and just decided to rule.
25:39
The internal, Yep, yeah. Anyways, like these guys, like I
25:42
said, it was like variety from Forestburg to O'Reilly.
25:47
So it's really like whatever you every team has some guys that
25:50
they're willing to offer. So whatever level of guy you're
25:52
willing to offer, you know like that.
25:54
OK. Don't trade away Forsberg or
25:56
Marsha. So though that's something else
25:58
to mention just because like if you have these guys like, yeah,
26:02
but that's like, you know what? And like people may be tempted
26:04
to sell high on forest worker Mars and so now wouldn't be the.
26:07
Best I wanna, I wanna try to give you guys a name that you
26:10
could get Forsberg on your team because I mean, a guy that's
26:13
like that level four games, he's like a really high trade target.
26:17
I'm trying to think of guys J Miller or Forsberg.
26:20
Forsberg for sure with the. Playoffs.
26:21
That's a trick could probably do right with JT Miller reading hot
26:24
right now. Like matching that.
26:25
Word. Because like Miller's A332 and
26:28
Forza 434, so you're gaining one game in the quarters and two
26:31
games in the finals. That's three games over the span
26:33
of the playoffs for a guy who's already like similar level like
26:37
that thing. That's Jack Hughes.
26:38
Yeah, would take Forsberg. Same.
26:40
And Jack, he's got the two game in the in the championship.
26:42
You think Panarin? Yeah, I'm taking.
26:45
For us, yeah, take. Matthew could Chuck.
26:47
That's that's tough, but I think that's a tough one.
26:51
That's a tough one, but probably Forsberg.
26:55
Nylander. No, yeah, I'm taking Forsberg.
26:57
Yeah, I think Crosby. They don't have a bad schedule
27:01
though, 333 yeah. So it's nothing exciting so.
27:05
Hmm. I don't know.
27:06
Probably Crosby. Yeah, Matthews.
27:10
No, I'm still taking Matthews. Really.
27:12
But what's the big difference then?
27:13
Between who and who? Matthews and Forsberg.
27:15
Yeah, I think, Matthews, I think.
27:17
I should talk like. Four players in the in the.
27:19
League an extra two games in the finals.
27:20
Yeah, but Matthews actually has one game over Forsberg and the
27:23
Sammies. Yeah, but there's only A1 game
27:24
difference really over the course of the playoffs.
27:26
What was like the line basically?
27:28
It was, but three games in four games on the week is not a huge
27:32
difference. Between 4:00 and 2:00 is huge.
27:35
Anyway, you could probably. Imagine for four plus.
27:37
Yeah, exactly. Matthews for.
27:39
Four, these are the moves that you can maybe make to.
27:42
Yeah, probably. Look, if you have Matthews,
27:44
you're probably like, didn't even think of trading him
27:46
because he's great, but you know, now is the time to try and
27:49
trade him. But don't trade him for less
27:51
than his value, you know? Like there's no reason to sell
27:54
low on him just because he has a bad final schedule.
27:56
Just find someone who doesn't care about the final schedule or
27:58
is not aware of. It OR needs to make the
28:00
playoffs. Or needs to make the playoffs.
28:01
Exactly. So yeah.
28:03
Let's move on to the next. Team Next team is a Calgary.
28:06
All I've got here is a weaker in Calgary.
28:08
I don't know who else there is worth trading for.
28:10
Yeah, we need to talk about, I think we use really, really
28:13
valuable fantasy, obviously, because he's one of the best
28:16
category guys with sliders like those two guys, and that's it,
28:19
pretty much in the tier of their own.
28:21
And he's been contributing in points recently too.
28:22
So when you're listening to this, he's pretty hot.
28:24
He was like really cold before would.
28:27
You trade cider for Wigger. Yes, yeah, I would.
28:30
To get weaker back. OK.
28:31
Yeah, that would be great. I would trade Bouchard for for
28:34
rigor. Like to see how your shots are
28:37
but if if I I might have to look into that.
28:43
That could get done just like the neon.
28:45
Feels huge. Yeah, I think Hedman for Wigger
28:49
is probably like harder to do, but would probably be an option
28:55
as well. Yeah.
28:56
Bigger sigh. Yeah.
28:57
And then not Kadri has been, he's very hot and cold I feel
29:00
like this year. So I feel like just wait for one
29:03
of his colder streaks and then send off his form.
29:05
What's the line that you would give for for Kadri?
29:07
Well, I mean, I think I feel like this conversation we've had
29:10
all year, right, Tavarius for Kadri, yeah, like I still think
29:12
it's an overpay even with the with the schedule, I think you
29:15
can get three plus I think you get virus and I think that's.
29:19
A good for Kadri. I think that's an overpay even
29:22
with the schedule. Chargers.
29:25
I really like Kadri. I'm not saying anything bad on
29:27
that, but like like countries like.
29:29
After all this time anyway. Yeah, I never said Kathy was
29:34
bad. I said I preferred to various
29:36
which revisionist history. But yeah, I know The thing is
29:39
like Brad's gonna finish like 1.11 point 2 points per game,
29:42
just gonna finish like point 8.9.
29:44
That's a big jump, even though contracts are obviously better.
29:47
But the two games in the playoffs?
29:51
Can do Country Plus for Brett, You know what I mean?
29:53
Like you, like even though you're willing to take a bit of
29:56
an L on these traits for the playoffs, you're still trying to
29:58
extract as much value as you can.
29:59
Yeah, absolutely, from these trades.
30:00
So The thing is, you have to think like Tavares where Kadri
30:03
one for one, you're overpaying. You're like, OK, I could get
30:06
quadruple, but how much are you gonna get?
30:08
Is it gonna be a guy that you're gonna?
30:10
Actually want on your. Roster.
30:11
Yeah, exactly. Well, then you would.
30:13
Like Lindholm makes it fair, but do you want?
30:16
Then you would do it more of like a 2 for two you would do
30:18
you do Tavares plus X for Kadri and a the guy slightly better
30:23
than next. So then you end up with a guy
30:24
you don't want on your team. Chaudry and Terry for Tavarus
30:28
and like is that is that like very sure?
30:31
I don't know. I like Franco better than Terry.
30:34
The reverse. Yeah.
30:36
Yeah, exactly. OK, let's move to the next team.
30:39
Then we've got Buffalo, so they've got some more nice
30:43
variety of guys you can go for. So at the top you've got Dalene
30:46
and Thompson. Then you've got Tuck, Peterka,
30:49
Cousins and Zucker. Yep, and these guys are super
30:53
fun because I mean Darling and Thompson are like criminal crop,
30:55
like top top, you know, very valuable guys.
30:58
Then you got like Tuck was kind of in the middle, who, you know,
31:00
really depends on the deployment, but we know he's.
31:03
I would say don't don't trade for Tuck right now.
31:05
He just is coming off like 2-3 game for three-point
31:07
performance. Also heard he's in trade.
31:08
Rumors. Oh, really?
31:10
Yeah, I heard tacos in trade rumors.
31:12
Trade rumors that you want to be wary of as well if you're
31:15
trading for schedule. You know which teams I heard are
31:18
linked to Tuck the most? Vegas and the Rangers.
31:22
That's crazy. That would be a fun.
31:23
One he goes back to the he goes back to Vegas.
31:25
Yeah, that's nuts. Tuck for Michael.
31:31
Yeah, yeah. Crazy yeah, that would that I
31:35
don't think that one happens, but Lucas shot volume is really
31:37
nice. So I think is he like it's hard
31:41
to rank Peterka. I feel like because he has, he
31:44
has super waiver wire name, yeah.
31:45
Like, you know, it's just like nobody's gonna buy whatever he's
31:48
producing everybody. Trying to trade for him all year
31:50
and they really won't. Give I haven't traded him crazy.
31:52
I haven't traded, tried to trade for Patrick.
31:54
Yeah. But yeah, that's the thing.
31:55
Like I think other than Dalene and Thompson, I think Tuck
31:58
Patrika, cousin, sucker, you can all get for pretty cheap.
32:01
I mean, yeah, you probably pick up lawyers, honestly.
32:04
Cousins you might be able to pick up on waivers.
32:05
He's only like 1320. Something 22 I.
32:08
Think yeah, so. He might get traded and then you
32:10
know the value goes. Up.
32:11
Yeah, Well, value goes up, but in terms of playoff schedule, it
32:14
could go down. Yeah, we know.
32:16
Not if he goes. To Turkistan for.
32:18
John Jacob Jingleheimer. Jonathan.
32:21
Jonathan Gosh, it's John. Jason Petergof Just.
32:25
Josh J Rue. Yeah, yeah.
32:29
And I do. No, you're right.
32:31
I mean, Dulling and Thompson are essentially untouchable now.
32:34
But I mean obviously like you can maybe do in what would seem
32:38
like an overpay for one of those.
32:39
Guys, there's always a price. There's always a price for
32:42
anyone. Maybe Mitch Marner.
32:44
And the room that feels that feels like an overpaid.
32:46
Yeah, I think it's an overpay. New launder.
32:48
I don't know if Newlander gets it done then.
32:51
I would take, I would take Thompson over Nylander, but I'd
32:53
take Mariner over Thompson. Yeah, OK.
32:55
So like some happy medium, yeah. OK.
32:57
What about you? Would you take Panarin or
33:00
Thompson? I think Thompson.
33:02
OK, that's fine though. That's so close I'm.
33:06
Giving the guys with the bad playoff schedule, it's.
33:07
Different, yeah. Larkin.
33:10
I'll take. Thompson would probably take
33:12
Thompson. To Tavarus for Thompson.
33:14
No, I take Thompson. For sure.
33:15
Yeah, OK. I mean, I'm going down the.
33:17
List now, so yeah. So yeah, so one of Tempe.
33:20
Spoiler Thompson. Yeah.
33:22
Yeah, yeah. And then the last team that has
33:24
11 games in those three weeks is LA and some guys that you can
33:28
target there. We've got Kempe has Kevin just
33:31
mentioned, we've got Fiala, Kopitar and Doughty.
33:34
Really it's campaign. Fiala, I think are the main
33:36
targets here. Kopitar and Doughty are kind of
33:38
like. You know not depends on your
33:41
category. Leagues less.
33:42
Less. Valuable.
33:42
Yeah, exactly. But Kempe is the main, main guy
33:45
in Fiala. Really been heating up so now
33:47
might be your last chance to buy, you know, relatively low on
33:51
Fiala, but but yeah, campaign feel are the two main guys be
33:53
targeting on. A yeah, absolutely Doughty.
33:56
Doughty, I think could definitely be bought at like a
34:00
yeah. OK, Price, 4 Nations face off
34:03
right now, Yeah. So maybe he ends up doing well
34:06
and his talk, it gives him more time to rehabilitate a little
34:09
bit from his injury, get back in the game a little.
34:10
Bit would you trade Macavoy for dowdy?
34:13
That's tough is tough because Dowdy really hasn't done much
34:16
since coming back from. Injury like he doesn't pretty
34:18
bad. That's the thing it.
34:19
Has serious injury. That 100%.
34:21
Like, you know. What can we expect from Dowdy?
34:24
What's the best case? Scenario, I mean he'll get you
34:26
like 1.5 hits, 1.5 blocks, 1.5 shots, like touch like all those
34:32
backpacks, but not be too good at any of them.
34:34
And then it really depends on if the Kings could figure out their
34:37
power play. You know, they haven't really
34:38
been great on the power play for the like since he got back.
34:41
I mean, they weren't great on it before he came back, but it's
34:45
interesting that's that could be good.
34:47
Yeah, yeah. What about for Fiala?
34:48
Who are you giving? It's tough cuz like if you ask
34:53
me like a week or two ago you could have gotten him for like
34:55
super cheap but he's like really turned it on lately so.
34:58
Would you have, brat? I was about to say brat.
35:02
It's Brad's obviously going to get more.
35:04
Points. But like the.
35:07
Listeners get it? Yeah.
35:08
I don't even get it. It's a yes for summer.
35:17
Not what? I guess gold.
35:21
I think you can get Fiala plus for Brat just because like
35:24
Fiala's only been good for like the past like 2-3 weeks whereas
35:28
Brad's been like points wise at least he's been good for like
35:30
all season. Could get me for yellow.
35:33
I would do that would take you all over.
35:34
Yeah, OK. Jarvis for Fiala.
35:38
I think I would take Jarvis. Yeah.
35:40
Just like OK, like he's literally a two time more game
35:43
point. I would take 4 point games like
35:45
last week. Yeah, I know.
35:46
It's like if that happens in the playoffs.
35:48
I think I take yellow over hymen, but maybe I'm too low on
35:51
hymen. You might be.
35:55
Yeah, that's, that's like a, that's a tough one.
35:57
So realistically. Peterson.
36:02
I would take Patterson. Yeah, probably.
36:04
Yeah, I would take Patterson. I would take you all over
36:06
Patterson. I would say just.
36:07
Something my Patterson hatred exactly from the bounce back.
36:11
Basically, you hate Patterson. I think I played Patterson next
36:14
week. Just let myself up for this
36:19
ultimate. Drinks, yeah, Anyway, so that's
36:22
some guys to target with good playoff schedules.
36:25
Now I'm going to talk about some guys to trade away.
36:28
A lot of these were guys we've already mentioned, but.
36:30
We've been talking. About yeah, let's start with the
36:32
Rangers, who really have by far the worst playoff schedule.
36:35
So I'd be really trying to offload these guys.
36:37
You got JT Miller, Panarin, Zibanejad, Kreider, Fox, Trojak.
36:41
So I've got a lot of good, lot of good guys and there are a lot
36:44
of them are good sell highs with the acquisition of Miller.
36:46
Yeah, like, you could get serious value for this.
36:49
Like, if you're not in a league with someone who pays attention
36:53
to playoff schedule, this is like serious, serious
36:56
opportunity. Exactly.
36:57
OK, stop me when you think I can't get this player for JT
37:00
Miller. OK, OK.
37:02
Dry saddle you can. No, Yeah.
37:08
I don't think you could get equal.
37:10
For JT, yeah, either you can. I think you can.
37:14
Are you serious? Yeah.
37:15
Like as one hot week and you think he's as good?
37:17
As he is. But it's a hot week right after
37:18
a trade. No.
37:20
I don't think. You can, I would rather article
37:22
but I think you can OK. It's just cause it's the hype
37:25
with the new team and everything.
37:26
It's just like you could definitely use that to your
37:27
advantage. You could flip JT from a car.
37:31
I don't think so. J for Brady.
37:36
Yes. That could get done.
37:38
That could get. Done.
37:39
Yes, for. Pasta no pass has been insane.
37:43
Yeah, boy, go back because it's like a bad playoff schedule to a
37:48
good one. That could be a really good if
37:50
you can get someone accept that that could be like an all tier
37:54
turning a garbage playoff schedule into an amazing one.
37:56
Yeah, that's a really. Good.
37:58
General that's, I mean JT for Forsberg, we mentioned earlier
38:01
that would be like a great trade as well, I think.
38:03
Yeah. JT for Brayden Point.
38:06
And I think you definitely get that.
38:08
Yeah, I think, I think JT. House points playoffs, I think.
38:11
He's a 334 I think. No 4/3.
38:13
Three, yeah, OK. I think people value JT higher
38:16
than Brayden. Point.
38:17
Yeah, I think you might be. Able to get I think.
38:18
Understandably, I think has better category.
38:20
Recovery. If it wasn't for the playoff
38:21
schedule, I'd take Miller over. Point yeah, absolutely.
38:23
And then if you like move to Panera and there's like some
38:25
serious players, you could get back to yours, right.
38:27
I mean. I'd flip Panarin for Denzel.
38:30
I flip Panarin for Tempe. Would you flip him for
38:36
Robertson? Would you flip him for
38:40
Robertson? Yeah, yes, absolutely.
38:41
Yeah, that could be a. Really good one.
38:43
Get that anymore? I think you could get that.
38:45
Really. Panera for Robertson.
38:47
Off of name value I think you can.
38:49
OK, what about? With the Miller trade.
38:51
Nobody, like I think you could aim higher than Boldy, right?
38:54
Yeah. Panarin for Ovechkin.
38:59
Kevin. I.
39:00
Think, I think, I think that could get done.
39:04
Yeah, it can. Yeah, Thompson, I don't know if
39:07
that could get done, but I would take Thompson.
39:09
Are you cool? I don't think Michael gets done
39:11
but. No, I'm telling you, you can do
39:14
that like I. Know you don't realize how good
39:16
doing. This I do, I do and I think I
39:18
would would do all these things. It's just as an owner,
39:24
considering you didn't drop them like in the first or second
39:26
round, like yes, that could get done in a bunch of leagues, but
39:29
like, hey, like you're right. If you can get it done then.
39:31
Do it, Yeah, it's like it's better to hold like gold like
39:33
but. Yeah.
39:34
I mean, would you flip Panarin for rent and then?
39:37
Yeah. No, I would.
39:39
No, that's scary. But no rather.
39:41
That's call your. Shot, I will say that you're
39:44
only gaining one game there. You're only gaining one game in
39:46
the finals. But I mean like you said.
39:48
There's also the. Game is massive, but also it's
39:50
Rantanen. We've had this conversation a
39:52
million times. Jakey super low on him and Kevin
39:54
are higher on him. So yeah, yeah, I would.
39:57
Do that, Yeah. You wanna move to?
39:58
The next one, next, we've got San Jose here.
40:01
There's not much, but I've got Celebrity and Wallman.
40:03
Yeah, the two guys. That's all they're woman would
40:07
love to sell celebrity because that's like a perfect
40:10
combination of the type of celebrity being a rookie and a
40:13
bad playoff schedule. Exactly, you're you're dealing
40:15
with like a disaster. You think we never body gets
40:17
done? Yes.
40:19
I think that I think that's amazing trait to make.
40:21
Yeah, bathroom. I would take Batherson.
40:25
Yeah, that's that's even more likely.
40:27
That's definitely that could easily.
40:28
Get. That's a really good one.
40:30
Yeah, these are the types of trades that like you would never
40:32
consider. You never do another schedule.
40:34
Yeah, that's another great one. Yeah, with the playoff schedule,
40:36
it feels like. No, same, same boat.
40:38
Yeah, yeah, all the guys you named I think can have done and
40:41
would be great. No.
40:42
No, honestly, four games. You kind of did it because you
40:47
had to. Because I had to, but honestly,
40:50
like, I really think like that's a you pay very little to get
40:53
him. Well, I have one, Kadri.
40:55
For celery, yeah, I'll take. I'll take country.
40:57
Wow. Yeah, the playoff schedule like.
40:59
That yeah, that's that that feels like that's off, you know
41:02
what I mean? Which like it's a good because
41:04
that's gonna be like, Oh my God, I can't believe you just sent.
41:06
Me, that sort of thing, yeah. That's a good.
41:08
One, but also like if you feel that way, right, like you're the
41:12
person who has celebrating and you're like, if I send him for
41:15
country, he's going to immediately accept because he's
41:17
better than like aim for get country.
41:19
Plus, you know for sure at least try for that before you
41:21
negotiate. One bunch of fun options here.
41:25
Yeah, next we've got New Jersey. So you've got Hughes, Brat,
41:28
Hesher, Hamilton, Myers. For summer, bra, Yeah, yeah.
41:34
So obviously you could tell Hughes for top, top tier as
41:36
well, similar to Panera advice. Yeah, nothing here that we
41:40
haven't touched on except Hamilton.
41:42
Hamilton. Interesting.
41:43
I think Hamilton. You can flip Hamilton for
41:46
Sanderson when he slows down. He could you get headman for
41:48
Hamilton. Maybe.
41:50
Maybe. I think depending on you make
41:52
that 2 for two Hamilton for Sergachev.
41:56
OHS, I don't know. It's not like Utah has that good
41:59
of a playoff. Schedule it's better.
42:00
It's they're only getting one game in the final year.
42:03
Yeah, just Carlson. Not that Carlson.
42:08
'S been that good? That's a decent idea.
42:09
What about Harley? That really depends that really.
42:13
First of all, yeah, you can definitely get Harley plus, but
42:16
it really depends on if you think he's going in, doesn't
42:19
come back before your fantasy playoffs is done and you think
42:22
that Dallas doesn't go on trade for another PowerPoint
42:24
defenseman. So I think that's too risky to.
42:27
IMO do you think I could get? I think you can get Batherson
42:31
for your teammate had mentioned that earlier.
42:33
Didn't we have a Hudson versus Hamilton rest of season thing?
42:36
Like would you think? Another a while, yeah.
42:39
What about now? You wouldn't do that.
42:41
Would you rather take Hudson back?
42:43
Have just been so bad. I know, I know so.
42:46
So I think, I think Hudson. Wow.
42:49
Because they're the same archetype player.
42:50
That's an extra 2. That's an extra 2.
42:51
Games in the finals. Yeah, if you can get Hudson
42:55
plus, obviously depending, I know we say that a lot with the
42:57
plus and it might be a bit tough as a listener to be like, OK,
43:00
but what's the plus? You know, the plus usually is
43:02
get as much as you can as the plus and negotiate down, but
43:05
you're like happy enough getting Hudson, but you should be able
43:07
to. Get more.
43:08
But this is good because the here is if you have these guys,
43:10
you're trading them for the guys that we mentioned.
43:12
Before. Yeah, realistically so.
43:13
Exactly. Would you do Timo 4 Nichushkin?
43:16
Would take Nichushkin 1,000,000% over Timo.
43:18
I wouldn't say 1,000,000 like like 80%.
43:25
They are more confident with the Choose Yeah million.
43:28
Like the only. Reason a few more Stamkos.
43:31
Timo. Look at Josh's eyes, start going
43:35
crazy. Do you think you could do Timo
43:37
for Zuccarello? I think you can, and I think
43:40
you. Should that's that feels that
43:41
feels more at ease. Yeah, alright.
43:45
We failed the. Yeah, yeah.
43:47
You've got Detroit, you've got Larkin, Raymond, Cider,
43:50
Debrincat, Kane and this whole team has been a sell high for
43:53
awhile. I think I've been mentioning it.
43:55
So when they're sell high and they have a bad playoff
43:58
schedule, like now's the time. For sure for sure.
44:02
Siders brother is pretty good though.
44:04
Yeah, Dixon. Dixon Cider.
44:12
Well, definitely getting to eat out.
44:16
It could be muted, guys. It's a yes, we're sober, let's
44:19
have fun. Yeah, not much to say about your
44:24
except I I think that Kane's gonna be the hardest one to sell
44:27
because he was just hurt. Yeah, but yeah, Larkin, Raymond,
44:29
excellent sell highs. And spiders.
44:31
Spiders are weaker trade. Yeah, that's a really good idea.
44:34
Really good one if you have. Enough to part with him, of
44:36
course, but I mean, that can be like a big brain move over
44:38
there. Yeah, who's the best centre you
44:41
get from for Larkin that is worth it?
44:44
Would you? Would you Larkin for Eric Sinek?
44:46
I think you get Erickson Eck Plus yeah, and I think you
44:49
shouldn't. I like Buffer Crosby.
44:51
Only if it's plus there for me. You get Crosby, I don't think.
44:53
You. No, I don't think so.
44:56
I don't think you could get our home and our doesn't even have
44:59
that good of a schedule. Yeah, let's look at the guys
45:01
here. I mean even just like all
45:03
position. I think you get country plus.
45:07
Like and I would fiala. Cross position, yeah, I think
45:12
you could definitely get. Falling and would you do?
45:14
It I like Fiala. Yeah, Camper, I think you can
45:16
get as well. I think you get that one even.
45:19
More if you would be a elite as a trade.
45:23
Maybe that's something to think. About it, yeah, we're all going
45:26
to have trades. You have what else I have
45:29
Larkin, Yeah. Jake is been like farming us for
45:33
ideas. I'm gonna trade this.
45:34
Guys, none of you to upload this episode.
45:35
Yeah, this is good. This is good.
45:38
Take some. Screenshots for Raymond.
45:39
Similar idea, Moldy. Yeah, Boldy.
45:43
Very same vibe with playoff schedule.
45:45
Johnston. Johnston, yeah.
45:47
Yeah, so Detroit is a is what, a 243?
45:52
Detroit is a 243 exactly. So would you do?
45:55
Yeah, I know. I don't know.
45:57
Yeah, Valerie. Lucian.
46:00
Yeah, that's a tough. One to the other Valeria I
46:03
guess. I will say something that's
46:05
interesting though, this is a more relating to me and Jake
46:08
possibly making a trade is if I have a bye week, then a team
46:12
like Detroit for me is just a four three.
46:13
It's not a 24. Three.
46:15
That's true. Which means that I might be
46:17
willing to trade for Detroit players that you're trying to
46:20
get rid of just something to keep in mind.
46:21
I just thought of that right now so you know something to keep in
46:24
mind if you because of bye week here we.
46:26
Go. Yeah.
46:29
Anyways, next we'll go to a Florida.
46:31
So you've got Reinhart, Kashuk, Barkov, Rahegi, Eckblad, pretty
46:34
much a lot of these. I'm just naming the power play
46:35
unit. Barcode we didn't really
46:37
mention. We've never mentioned.
46:39
But huge, huge portunity, yeah. So that's your father.
46:45
Yes, my daddy. Yeah.
46:50
Sorry Daddy, come back to me. Thank God, please, please.
46:56
Hello. Hello.
46:58
Hi, Ellie, who? Moving on for whatever that was.
47:02
Barkov, Barkov that doesn't. Have you seen that video?
47:08
It's like, I think there's a group of kids like arguing with
47:11
somebody on their lawn and then and then it's like a dialogue
47:14
losing it. And then the guy go bad word.
47:17
Oh no, Oh God, that's losing his cool.
47:21
And there's a there's a guy that goes daddy, just calm down.
47:24
And it's like a like a guy. What the heck is he with that?
47:31
I love that. Funny, So I was bored.
47:35
Come with me. No, he's like.
47:38
Daddy chill. And he's like, what the hell?
47:39
Yeah, alright, this has to stop. Yeah, I would say for Barkov, of
47:45
the people we mentioned with the great playoff schedules, the
47:48
only like everyone, like you can pretty much get anybody for him
47:52
on this list. The only ones I think would be
47:55
worth it are Brady Thompson and I don't even.
48:00
You could do Barco for Thompson, absolutely.
48:02
No biggie, said He. These are the only ones he
48:03
thinks are worth. Yeah, worth it.
48:05
Worth it. Brady to Chuck Thompson and
48:08
maybe Forsberg. Not even Kaprizov would be
48:10
there, but he'd rather. Forsberg for sure.
48:12
That's a great. One you'd rather with the
48:13
playoff. Yeah, that feels like so.
48:15
So really only those three. Other than that, everyone else
48:18
named yeah, but he's not here. But yeah, still a decent.
48:21
Person. Yeah, four games of the
48:23
championship. Yeah, that's a 10 gamer 334.
48:25
Yeah, Yeah. And then Kuchuk is tough because
48:28
I think he'd be a bit of a cell low right now.
48:30
So yeah, I'd want to get rid of him of the schedule, but you
48:33
gotta wait until he starts heating up a bit before you
48:35
trade him. We're glad to Great sell high
48:38
right now as we mentioned. Yeah.
48:40
Huge, huge. So high you can get.
48:42
You could probably do Saunders and.
48:43
Honestly, I like Sanderson a lot for Sanderson.
48:46
Sanderson's been too hot. You can't get that, I don't
48:48
think. Theodore.
48:50
Yeah, you got your has been like fine.
48:52
If you can pull that off, that's great.
48:53
I don't know if you can. Absolutely.
48:55
Would you trade could Chuck for fiala plus?
49:00
I think it would have to be a decent.
49:01
Plus like Fiat fillup and I think you can name higher like
49:05
it's gotta be a very. Good.
49:06
At least look at. Kampala and Kadri.
49:09
Yeah, Matthew Katrak. Yeah, that could be a decent.
49:12
Offer. Hmm.
49:14
Yeah. Dylan.
49:14
Dylan Gunther. Understand you can't.
49:17
You cannot buy it. Don't go there.
49:18
It's literally a banger management obligation that you
49:21
have to sell. It would have good there and
49:23
Fiala, yeah. Would you trade for?
49:26
Truck, Gunther and Fiala. You know, if you're like Chuck
49:29
owner, then yeah, potentially take Gunther and Fiala.
49:33
Yeah, what I want to. Check your schedule.
49:35
Is is what is it a three? 343 for Utah.
49:39
Yeah, no, but for Florida, Florida, it's a 3.
49:43
Is it 3/2? Three Florida 324. 324, yeah.
49:46
Yeah, they're not the worst. It's really just the fact they.
49:48
Have the semifinals, 2 games. That's pretty brutal, especially
49:52
if your league pays out for second place.
49:55
Does now. Nice yeah, artist into the
49:58
league after losing to me a bunch of times in the finals.
50:01
Let's move on. Alright, next we've got Philly
50:05
here. I've just got connect me and
50:07
Mitch Kov, I guess. But really it's just connecting
50:09
I think. The real.
50:09
Value on. This team, not much to say
50:12
because we spoke a lot about connecting for offers.
50:14
Michkov, I don't think you're gonna get anything great.
50:16
Maybe maybe misspelled bylaws. You lose your bylaw.
50:20
Yeah, Yeah. I think of the guys that you
50:25
mentioned before, maybe you're looking at like R Zucker.
50:30
Yeah, that could maybe. Work for Mitch Cove.
50:32
Like you send Mitchell for those guys, yes.
50:34
Yeah, I'd rather have Zucker. Yeah, yeah.
50:35
But not many would like, you know what I mean?
50:38
Yeah. First one has a bigger name,
50:40
yeah. Yeah, exactly.
50:44
Yeah, there you go. Yeah.
50:45
And then connect me. We mentioned a bunch.
50:47
Yeah, it's tough because right now I feel like he's a cello.
50:49
So it's a low and he has bad playoff schedule.
50:51
So you might want to wait for him to turn things around a bit.
50:53
But I see him in the same realm as like a boldy.
50:56
Would you? Do that, would you do connect me
50:57
for Josh Norris? No, I think that's an overpay.
51:00
Way overpaid. Right.
51:01
Yeah. It's just like the Norris.
51:03
You don't even know if he's coming back in time for the
51:05
fantasy playoffs. Like, you really don't need to
51:07
pay a lot for him. I don't.
51:08
Think you do connect me for Hudson?
51:10
I think that's an overpay. Burton Hudson So.
51:13
Yeah, connect me for Stamkos. Connect me for coffee might get
51:17
done. Yeah, because of how they have
51:20
been slumping. I like that A.
51:21
Lot ones good that I can't get done I'm sure most leagues.
51:24
For Stamkos, I said that I know, but I want to hear Josh's.
51:28
I wish I had it included staff. You guys are just killing me
51:33
with all this stuff because there's all these guys here, you
51:36
have worse schedules and I'm like I still don't want them.
51:38
So you know that's on me. My bad.
51:41
Only trade for Stamkos if you can get him for like pennies.
51:44
Wow. Wow.
51:46
Yeah, I know. Yeah, exactly.
51:48
Rich Copper Stamkos I would do Yeah, yeah.
51:51
Alright. The last two teams I mentioned
51:53
earlier, the Boston and Toronto, these are teams that it's not
51:56
the end of the world if you end up with like one or two of their
51:59
players because although they have a 2 game week, the other
52:01
two weeks are four-game weeks. So let's just get that
52:03
disclaimer out there, but we'll start with Boston.
52:05
You've got Pasternak, Marshawn McAvoy, Lindholm, Zaca.
52:08
So really obviously the main guy is a is Pasta and you should be
52:11
getting a top five guy. Do you want do you want guys I'm
52:14
training pasta for are like, you know, I mean, you're not getting
52:18
McDavid McKinnon, Dr. side all you're getting those.
52:20
Guys but that you can maybe get like macar plus for pasta.
52:23
Yeah, Brady's truck. Yeah, I think you got Brady for
52:26
sure. Yeah, I put also if you wanted
52:29
like 2 like guys have like a lower tier maybe like Body and
52:31
Robertson for pasta. Yeah.
52:33
Well, Robertson, yeah. Forsberg.
52:35
I would love to do that. Forsberg.
52:36
Plus maybe a bit. Yeah, I think you could do that.
52:38
Yep, Tage. Yeah, yeah, all good options.
52:42
Boldy yeah, that type of player. Yeah, So again, you're not in a
52:46
rush to get rid of Pasta because even though the 1-2 game week,
52:49
the other two other four-game weeks, but like if you can
52:51
still, this is one of the ones where I'm not willing to take a
52:54
hit on value from the playoff schedule because the schedule is
52:57
not that terrible, but I would. Still be looking at shopping
53:00
games in the semis. Right, which is?
53:02
Rough. It is rough.
53:03
But. Imagine you're playing the guy
53:05
that has McDavid or. Yeah.
53:08
Or. That one extra game is your top
53:11
guy 100%. Yeah.
53:13
And then some guys like Marshawn McAvoy, those are kind of like
53:16
more mid tier guys. I saw a rumor that I have
53:20
Marshawn trade rumor. Yeah.
53:21
I don't know if it's real, but you know.
53:23
It's probably not real, but who gonna trade McAvoy for?
53:27
He's telling me. I'm giving you guys so many
53:29
ideas. You guys gonna give me some?
53:30
Ideas for it? Well, you're obsessed with
53:32
circuit Chef. Hardly feel like you can.
53:34
You can often pursue Chef. Yeah, I feel like that's
53:36
similar. Vibe I would consider Harley.
53:38
Yeah, honestly. Really.
53:40
You can get Hartley plus I think maybe even if it's just Harley,
53:44
if you, if you like. The thing with Harley, like we
53:46
said, is you really have to feel kind of confident that he's
53:48
gonna maintain that power play one.
53:49
I mean to be fair was not getting power play points.
53:51
Yeah, yeah, That's fair. So, yeah, his value is not that
53:54
high. So yeah, you can do a Harley
53:55
Sanderson, obviously, like we want to send a lot of these
53:59
super hot right now, but he's gonna cool down.
54:00
John Carlson. Yeah, I think you could do.
54:02
That you think I should? I would do that for sure.
54:05
And then Lynn, Tillman, Zakhar, more guys, I feel like.
54:08
Yeah, you know they're. Really getting too much for
54:10
them. Yeah, yeah, alright.
54:12
And then lastly, but not leastly, we've got Toronto.
54:15
At least. Matthews, Marner, Nylander,
54:18
Tavarus, Naes, Riley's Biggest. Question have A2 game?
54:22
Change. I know it's bigger of an L3.
54:25
These guys take on Matthews value like would you do Matthews
54:29
for tage? The thing is, if I no, I
54:31
wouldn't do that. The thing is like if I have a
54:33
Matthews and no ones willing to give me the value that like I
54:37
should get for him, then I'm just trading away like other
54:40
guys to get 4 game weeks on the finals because he has he's got a
54:43
four-game quarter and semi, you know.
54:45
And like I said, like with these guys, if you have like 4, if you
54:47
have like one, if you have just Matthews at 442, but then you
54:50
have a bunch of other guys who are like have a good like final
54:53
schedule, it kind of like make up for it.
54:54
You know, obviously it sucks once your best player who has
54:56
the two game week and the last last week, but don't take too
54:59
much of a hit on him. Would you flip Matthews for
55:02
Forsberg I? Have Forsberg plus.
55:06
Yeah, it's gotta be plus. Would you one for one?
55:09
I don't think. Push came to shove, you
55:10
wouldn't. No, I think like the, the
55:14
willing to take a, a hidden value has 2 caveats. 1 is with
55:20
these teams where it's like they have a 2 game week, but the
55:23
other two games, two weeks are four-game weeks.
55:25
So overall their playoff schedule is not that bad.
55:26
It's just one bad week. So then it's not as urgent.
55:30
And 2 is when it's literally your top guy.
55:32
That's really when like, because the difference in value from
55:34
like a Tier 1 to Tier 2 versus like a Tier 15 to 16, you know,
55:38
is so, so different that it's a, it's a bigger drop in value.
55:42
Matthews is extremely dimensional, true, but Marner
55:45
and Nylander, I think that you can like, say those guys and.
55:48
I would smarter Forsberg. Yeah, that's reasonable.
55:51
Marner for. Eichel.
55:53
Yeah, I'll take. It yeah, I'll take our goal and
55:55
I think that that could. Kneel Lander for Thompson.
55:58
I don't know if that gets it done.
56:01
I think Marner. For for.
56:03
Thompson could be reasonable, though.
56:05
Ovechkin. No, that doesn't get it done.
56:09
I would take a question for sure, but I think Marner, I
56:11
would trade Marner for both of those guys, for both Thompson
56:13
and Ovechkin. I think you can get, I think you
56:16
can get some like Ovechkin or Thompson like plus from Harner
56:19
really actually Thompson from Arner might be like you might
56:22
not be able to get much of A plus, but you should be able to
56:24
get a plus with the vegan for Marner.
56:25
Neil under 4. Dalene.
56:28
I think Darlene for sure. I yeah, Nylander is only a point
56:32
per game this season. This season it's like, good, but
56:34
it's. Not what you guys told me,
56:36
rather have Landon Marner. That's not what happened
56:38
yesterday is history. We said it's debatable.
56:42
Is it debatable right now? No.
56:44
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, what about for Tavares?
56:47
Where you guys, you know, now I'm going to farm for some.
56:49
Advice from so So so Audrey is like the king offer.
56:53
Like, really? Offered a better offer?
56:56
You definitely get better. What do you mean?
56:59
You think you could like aim higher?
57:02
I have been really really good this.
57:04
Year, especially in cases from our list.
57:06
Stutzel. Yeah, yeah.
57:09
I think you could take. You could get still
57:11
realistically. Yeah, for sure.
57:13
Johnston yes. Would you take that you have to
57:16
various? Would you do a Josh?
57:18
I would take that. I don't know if you would do it
57:19
OK. Ovi.
57:22
I would definitely take over. It's not even a question.
57:25
I mean, it's definitely. A question.
57:27
OHS always the goat. It's just that simple.
57:32
But I think like I think you'd be surprised like the value that
57:35
at various has that's tough because if if Marchenko was
57:38
still here, I would take Bransky, no question.
57:40
With Marchenko out, I'm a much lower on Warenski.
57:43
So and we'll have to see how the team shakes out with Boone
57:45
coming back and all that. So that's.
57:47
For Crosby. Yeah, I'll take Crosby over
57:49
tires for. Sure.
57:50
Would you do Gensel? Yeah, I would take until.
57:53
All right, so let's quickly talk about goalies.
57:55
So goalie strategy is actually different for playoffs than the
57:58
player strategy here. You don't care as much about
58:00
four-game weeks since the goal is not going to play the extra
58:02
game here. You want to target goals with
58:04
the best matchups and that play two to three times each week of
58:07
the playoffs. So here are some of the goalies,
58:10
best goalies for weeks 22 to 24. I'm only including the most
58:12
relevant guys, but you've got Saros, Ottinger, Vasilevski,
58:17
Swamin, Almark, Blackwood and Wolf.
58:20
So that's based on GOT teams that have the best matchups.
58:23
They're going to go up against the weakest opponents and then
58:26
some of the worst goals. For the second, yes, this is
58:30
goalies are really like, it's really a matchup thing like you
58:33
engine and like. You care about you go, not go
58:36
your way, right? Yeah.
58:37
There's so much volatility when it comes to.
58:40
Games like this is like what the players like it's really kind of
58:43
almost an exact science like the volume is it makes a difference,
58:46
but otherwise it's a bit tough like Logan Thompson is also a
58:49
good one right 334 like that that's good too, but so is
58:53
lingren right because it's a good team.
58:55
You know what I mean? So this is a little bit more
58:57
volatile in general, but I will say like who I, who you
59:01
mentioned that I, I just want to like, you know, like really kind
59:04
hammer home with this. You want to aim for the guys who
59:06
are fighting for the playoffs. So I really like, I would say
59:09
Almark and Blackwood over, let's say Ottinger or Vasilevsky
59:14
because I think there's a chance that they would maybe like go a
59:17
bit easier on those too if they're more comfortably in a
59:19
playoff. Position can go instead of
59:21
getting like two of the three starts they might get like, you
59:23
know, one or two. Instead of getting like 3 out of
59:25
four, they can get like 2 out of.
59:26
Four, yes, two out of four. That's what I mean exactly.
59:28
But all Mark they need to. Know three out of four, and if
59:32
they're desperate to four. Exactly and block.
59:34
The Wolf of Wall. Yeah, Wolf as well.
59:36
Yeah, that's fine. So, yeah, so those are really
59:39
good ones to target. But again, it's like you said,
59:41
where goalies are very kind of voodoo, you know, so you don't
59:44
want to overpay for a goalie just because they have better
59:46
matchups because you know it. Look, I put Saros on this list
59:49
because Nashville is good matchups over that span.
59:51
But I mean, look at how he did against San Jose like twice in
59:53
the last like couple weeks. You know, they live in like 5-6
59:56
goals. So it's really it's really hard
59:57
to tell. And so now I'm going to mention
59:59
some guys were quote, UN quote the worst qualities for the
1:00:01
weekend. Just before you dive into this,
1:00:03
I think is great for selling like that can really work in
1:00:06
your favor. Buying is a bit more
1:00:08
complicated, but for selling the ones you're about to mention,
1:00:10
like yeah, fantastic. So this this is gonna sound
1:00:13
surprising. These are some of the best
1:00:14
goalies in the league, but this specifically based off their
1:00:16
matchups. So some of the guys who have the
1:00:18
toughest matchups over that three-week span are Markstrom,
1:00:21
Chesterton, Hellebuyck and Sorokin.
1:00:23
So obviously I'm not saying get. Rid of like.
1:00:27
Obviously, like when a goalie is good enough and the team is good
1:00:30
enough, even if they're playing against other top teams, they're
1:00:32
still gonna put up good numbers. But these are these are the four
1:00:35
goalies, four best goalies with the hardest schedules over that
1:00:38
span. Yeah, this is tough.
1:00:41
If you could flip Sorokin for an Almark for you could probably
1:00:46
get Wolf plus. For Blackwood.
1:00:50
I don't know, I don't know. So I don't know.
1:00:56
I don't know about that one either, but.
1:00:57
I would take Blackwood. I would probably take.
1:00:59
Blocks, we have a bet on this, so it's fine, yeah.
1:01:02
I think they're close enough that the one with the better
1:01:04
matchups is the one to go with. Jerking.
1:01:07
Jerking, I would be looking to offload super hard, but The
1:01:09
thing is that it's not like he's a cell high right now, right?
1:01:12
So maybe if you wait for him to string together a couple of good
1:01:14
performances after. The break, but they're all.
1:01:16
Fighting for the. Playoffs arranger vessel loves
1:01:18
people. Guys are like impossible to
1:01:19
trade for. They can solid all year.
1:01:21
They're on juggernaut teams, like the guys that have them on
1:01:23
the roster do not want to get rid of.
1:01:24
Them I think you can grab a swim in he's been.
1:01:27
Up and down swimming. I mean, he's also in that
1:01:30
category of fighting for a playoff spot.
1:01:31
They've got good matchups. I think Markstrom is probably
1:01:34
the worst of these. I don't know.
1:01:36
He's heard right now. Old stuff.
1:01:38
I don't know, this is difficult, but what I would do is not hello
1:01:42
because he's kind of in just like.
1:01:43
A lead but not trade of. All these like maybe I would
1:01:48
flip them for a player like. If you really.
1:01:52
It's hard to, yeah. No, it would be a 2 for two.
1:01:54
It would be like a worse player for Tage Thompson and a better
1:01:58
player, you know? But then you have to pick up a
1:02:00
goalie and it's really hard to replace goalie.
1:02:02
Product. No, sorry, I meant.
1:02:03
Like Logan talk? Like a word.
1:02:04
No, I meant just Sturken and like a player for Page Thompson
1:02:12
and a worse goalie. Yeah, OK, that's what I meant.
1:02:16
Like. Well, like just jerkin for Wolf
1:02:19
and then you you get you get a player upgrade.
1:02:22
Yeah, yes, something like that. Yeah, that would be a great
1:02:24
trade to do, I think. Yeah, especially because the
1:02:27
name value. Different.
1:02:28
Exactly. You take a guy who's like valued
1:02:30
so much higher but has a much worse playoff schedule and you
1:02:33
combine that with a player to get a big player.
1:02:35
Upgrade. Yeah, that's kind of what I
1:02:37
mean. Like that can work in your
1:02:39
favor. I just spit balling here, but
1:02:41
maybe like just Sturken and Verhagen for Swamin and Kempe.
1:02:53
Yeah, I would do that. Yeah, right.
1:02:55
I don't know if that gets it done, but yeah.
1:02:57
You know what I'm saying? Yeah, Idea.
1:02:59
Of something mix and match what we said earlier in the pod and
1:03:01
find that. Hard, yeah, Lose these goalies
1:03:04
as like an addition because we kept saying plus a bunch.
1:03:06
Yeah, this could be part of the plus.
1:03:08
Plus, yeah, exactly. And I mean, also feel free like
1:03:12
what we did when looking at good matchups versus bad matchups, we
1:03:15
kinda just looked at like when they were playing against like
1:03:18
the bottom 10 teams in the league.
1:03:19
That's a good match. And everything else is just a
1:03:21
regular match up. But you can look for yourself.
1:03:23
You can look ahead in the week 22 to 24, and if you see like,
1:03:25
teams that you're like, oh, I really want my goalie playing
1:03:27
against like the Habs or Anaheim or San Jose, you know, like, you
1:03:30
can see which goalies are playing more.
1:03:32
But in general, the ones we named are the ones who are gonna
1:03:34
be playing those guys. But just keep in mind when it
1:03:36
comes to goal is that there is so much ambiguity and it's so
1:03:39
hard to predict. Just like how goals get drafted
1:03:41
in the top 2-3 rounds every year and they end up not living up to
1:03:45
that value. Like you can trade for
1:03:47
Vasilevsky and we're saying he's the best goal to have for the
1:03:50
playoffs and then he, like, you know, doesn't do well do other
1:03:53
language, but doesn't do well in completely costly the goalie
1:03:56
categories for the weekend. Yeah.
1:03:57
And you know, you, you gave up assets to get to him and it
1:04:00
doesn't it's not worth it. Right.
1:04:01
So yeah, what goal is you always wanna be careful when you're
1:04:04
making those trades and not try to feel you can predict the
1:04:07
future too much because it really is just like a game by
1:04:09
game thing. Like anything can happen.
1:04:10
You know, you're playing Tampa. They concede 2 penalty kills.
1:04:14
It's a five on three. They get scored on twice or
1:04:16
something. And then it's.
1:04:17
