  seeing people in the Discord ask about like first of all, this
• 2:40
  episode and if we're going to cover this type of content, it's
• 2:42

• 3:02
  Yeah, if we do this in Part 2, I promise to give him the little
• 3:05
  Oasis in the intro next time. So.
• 3:07
  You better. I know it makes you happy,
• 3:09
  Kevin. Alright.
• 3:11
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 3:13
  Shall we dive into some playoff primer content over.
• 3:17
  Here, do it. This is we've got a lot to
• 3:19
  cover, so let's just dive right in.
• 3:22
  So let's start off with kind of like some general playoff
• 3:24
  strategy, a little bit of a few tidbits.
• 3:26
  I think it's some of this is probably intuitive, but I think
• 3:30
  it's still worth worth mentioning actually before we
• 3:32
  dive fully in, so and. We.
• 3:34
  Yeah. Local butchers.
• 3:37
  Sorry I'm so annoying. My profile tries, but I just
• 3:39
  want to say if this is an intimidating episode for you
• 3:42
  guys, don't worry. Everything is going to be time
• 3:44
  stamped in the description or whatever, wherever you're
• 3:47
  listening or watching this. So if you have a specific
• 3:49
  section you want to take a look at, everything will be there.
• 3:53
  And if you wanna go back and listen to previous parts,
• 3:55
  because I always do that, I listen to the whole thing and
• 3:57
  I'm like, OK, I want more information about this.
• 4:00
  I'll go back and listen to specific parts.
• 4:01
  It's all time stamps, so very organized and we're going to do.
• 4:06
  A lot of stuff this is this is going to be a bit of a behemoth
• 4:08
  of an episode gonna think so. So it definitely, definitely
• 4:12
  worth relistening to if there's parts that you know you wanna
• 4:15
  hear again, that's how relistening works.
• 4:17
  Alright, so, so obviously we're talking one of the things we
• 4:23
  want to focus on is maximizing your games playing the playoffs
• 4:25
  that it's each match up, you have a decent games advantage
• 4:28
  over your opponents. You know, there's every week you
• 4:31
  log in, you know, it's a new week, you look at your opponent
• 4:33
  and you see has 10 more games to play than you and you're like,
• 4:35
  Oh well, I don't have a chance this week.
• 4:36
  You know, so you want to be that guy.
• 4:37
  You could plan for that, you know, weeks in advance.
• 4:39
  So you want to be that guy 1 collecting players with good
• 4:43
  playoff schedules through either trades or free agency.
• 4:45
  You also want to take into account the off nights.
• 4:47
  Otherwise the extra games played won't matter since you'll have
• 4:49
  to bench players. So essentially however many
• 4:51
  bench spots you have, that's how many off night guys you want on
• 4:55
  any given night to make sure that you don't have to bench
• 4:57
  anyone. And then lastly, when making
• 4:59
  trades for players with better playoff schedules, it can be OK
• 5:02
  to give up slightly more value in the trade because if a player
• 5:04
  averages an extra like .2 points per game, but he plays half the
• 5:07
  games of another player, the player with more games played
• 5:09
  will get you more points on the week.
• 5:11
  So that's kind of like it's a bit counterintuitive.
• 5:13
  You never want to be losing a trade.
• 5:14
  You don't want to over correct, right.
• 5:15
  We've seen some trades where people, you know, I can get like
• 5:18
  a bit like OCD about it, you know, and I'm like, I need only
• 5:20
  guys have like perfect playoff schedules.
• 5:22
  And then you start making trades that are just like big L's.
• 5:24
  So you have the beautiful playoff schedule.
• 5:26
  You don't want to do that. But you know, if it's like a
• 5:28
  slight little downgrade, but you're getting that playoff
• 5:30
  schedule, especially when the person you're trading with
• 5:32
  doesn't realize that that's the intention of your trade.
• 5:34
  That definitely helps a lot. So that's the little the little
• 5:38
  blurb. Do you have anything to add to
• 5:39
  that? I was going to say that like I
• 5:42
  think there's different tiers in terms of somebody's fantasy
• 5:45
  hockey experience, in terms of being a fantasy hockey player.
• 5:49
  The first tier is like, it's your first year or second and
• 5:51
  you're just getting into it and you just want to build a strong
• 5:54
  team and that's what you're focusing on.
• 5:56
  Then you after a couple of years, you're like, OK, how can
• 5:58
  I get even better? You start looking at playoff
• 6:00
  schedule ahead in advance. You're like, OK, these guys play
• 6:03
  so many games in the Finals and stuff like I'm gonna try to
• 6:05
  prioritize them during the draft or early season.
• 6:08
  And then how can I get even better?
• 6:10
  You're like not gonna look at the guys that have better off
• 6:12
  night schedules too. So I can prioritize even more,
• 6:15
  like getting the maximum, maximizing the games as
• 6:17
  possible. And I think that's where we're
• 6:20
  at. We want to bring everybody to
• 6:21
  that level. So I think we're going to do a
• 6:24
  good job at breaking everything down and telling you guys who
• 6:26
  you should focus on. And it was somebody in the
• 6:28
  Discord recently, shout out Ogie Oglethorpe, who I mean, he's
• 6:33
  been super active in the Discord.
• 6:34
  He's his team honestly is like a juggernaut team.
• 6:36
  It's insane how good his team is.
• 6:38
  He keeps pulling off trades that are super good and then he
• 6:40
  realized like I just acquired this player like I think it was
• 6:44
  Mark Scheifele and he's like, I have to bench him like through
• 6:46
  every game in the playoffs because my team is just so
• 6:48
  stacked. And then it kind of clicked like
• 6:51
  I need to target guys that are on off nights so I can do, would
• 6:55
  you rather one game of March stiffly or six games of JT
• 6:58
  Miller type of thing? You know what I mean?
• 6:59
  It's just sometimes it's just a no brainer.
• 7:01
  And even though you have to take a downgrade in player, the
• 7:03
  amount of games we're getting in contrast is just makes a huge
• 7:06
  difference. Yeah.
• 7:07
  And also to add on to that, it's games played off nights and then
• 7:10
  also the strength of opponent, which we're going to get into
• 7:13
  especially that's most like most important for goalies.
• 7:16
  So we're gonna have a whole section on that.
• 7:17
  But I think enough talking about what we're going to talk about
• 7:20
  and. Just wanna say one last.
• 7:21
  Thing, yeah. Crashing moments where it's like
• 7:24
  you have a like a realization. It's like, Oh yeah, well, that
• 7:27
  makes sense. That's an easy way to think
• 7:29
  about it. That's what I feel about #2 it's
• 7:32
  really obvious. But he said however many bench
• 7:36
  spots your league has, that's how many off night guys you want
• 7:39
  to make sure you have on your team for each busy night.
• 7:41
  That's like a really easy formula to just actually
• 7:44
  remember. Yeah.
• 7:45
  How to go about it. And especially for targeting
• 7:46
  players, it's like one of those, huh, that's what that means,
• 7:49
  That's what that is. You know what I mean?
• 7:51
  I just had that moment with it. Makes a lot of sense, yeah.
• 7:55
  Yeah, that's definitely how I think about it.
• 7:57
  Obviously things could be different depending on if you
• 8:00
  have too many of a certain position ND whatever centre
• 8:02
  goalie, but in general that's the general formula.
• 8:05
  Alright, shall we get into the playoff schedule optimizer
• 8:09
  ranking teams in terms of O? The formula I used for this one
• 8:14
  is I gave a games played worth one point and then an off night
• 8:19
  worth .25. Then I multiplied all that
• 8:22
  together and then get a score for each individual week.
• 8:25
  Then you Add all those together. This is for weeks 21 to 23 and
• 8:28
  then you get a score and then rank them from top to bottom.
• 8:30
  And then I kind of put them in some separate tiers.
• 8:33
  So let's go a bit tier by tier. I'll go into the groupings.
• 8:36
  So tier tier, I'd say like the Goats.
• 8:40
  We've got Rangers, Boston and Pittsburgh.
• 8:43
  I mean, we've been talking about this all season.
• 8:45
  So RIP to Kevins, Artemy, Panarin, and in the future
• 8:49
  probably Trojak. Draft If you told me before the
• 8:52
  draft that all the guys that I traded four playoff schedule
• 8:55
  wouldn't even be on the same teams anymore, I would cry and
• 8:58
  I'm. Crying.
• 8:58
  It's crazy. My 2 of my first 3 picks in our
• 9:02
  draft were Panarin and Trocheck. And then I went harder.
• 9:04
  Will Cooley. He was my, my, you know, reach
• 9:07
  on because I was like, I really want this guy on my team for the
• 9:10
  playoffs and. I mean that one, he's not
• 9:12
  getting traded at least so. No.
• 9:13
  And he's still been great. I'm really happy.
• 9:15
  But yeah, Panera, no. Not even being on the Rangers
• 9:18
  anymore. Took a big downgrade and playoff
• 9:21
  schedule there yeah, going from 12 games to 10, but it's still
• 9:24
  not the end of the world. They have a decent schedule, but
• 9:27
  OK, let's so S tier Rangers, Boston, Pittsburgh, all three of
• 9:30
  them have 12 games. Boston and Rangers both have a
• 9:33
  444, whereas Pittsburgh is a 435.
• 9:36
  In general, I feel like I prefer the 444 because it's still a
• 9:40
  lead at every week. But like you know, the five is
• 9:42
  great if you get to the finals, but if you lose in that middle
• 9:44
  week or they only have three games, then it's not that great.
• 9:47
  So, but it's all the same kind of tier in terms of the off
• 9:49
  nights. By far the best team is the
• 9:51
  Rangers because not only have 12 games, but they have 7 off
• 9:54
  nights, including the most important week to have off
• 9:57
  nights, which is the second week, week 22.
• 10:00
  Um, because there are only two teams that don't play on the
• 10:03
  Tuesday and that's Rangers and Buffalo.
• 10:06
  And then there's only two teams that don't play on the Saturday
• 10:10
  and that's Rangers and Chicago. So it's Rangers is the team to
• 10:16
  own. I've been trying to target
• 10:17
  Rangers guys. Yeah, I've been trying to target
• 10:19
  Rangers guys all year, but no one wants to trade them.
• 10:21
  I mean, I traded away JT at, I mean, he was my first round pick
• 10:24
  because of the schedule also. But then he was poo poo so.
• 10:27
  And I got offered McDavid. So you're not gonna say no to
• 10:29
  that. But I definitely took a
• 10:30
  downgrade at playoff schedule. But yeah, anyway, so Rangers is
• 10:33
  the top, top target. It is tough because of what
• 10:35
  we've been talking about, but we'll get into the players right
• 10:37
  now, just about team. So I was going to say we're
• 10:39
  covering all the schedule now, like the days for the teams and
• 10:42
  everything. So if you know you have your
• 10:44
  fantasy app now we're looking at your fantasy team like it's good
• 10:46
  to keep in mind, like who you have on your team.
• 10:48
  That's from these teams that were mentioning.
• 10:50
  But we're also right after we finish this, we're gonna go
• 10:53
  through all the players you guys should target from each team to
• 10:56
  maximize and who to trade for and all that.
• 10:58
  So don't worry if we're not saying names because we cover
• 11:01
  them right after. That's exactly it, yeah.
• 11:03
  OK, so I'll try not to get too into the weeds with this.
• 11:05
  We're about to get into the weeds.
• 11:06
  So top tier Boston Rangers, Pittsburgh.
• 11:09
  Then the next tier is teams that play 11 times.
• 11:12
  So some mix of a 43 4344443, whatever.
• 11:17
  Um, I guess I'll just, I'll list all of them.
• 11:19
  We've got Colorado, New Jersey, Carolina, Philly, Chicago,
• 11:23
  Dallas, Florida, Ottawa, Montreal, Islanders, Columbus,
• 11:26
  Tampa. So when it comes at you a list
• 11:29
  like that, you know, I'm sure like you're listening, you're
• 11:31
  like, how the heck am I supposed to remember all that?
• 11:33
  When we get into the players, it'll be more in depth.
• 11:35
  So it'll be it'll be easier to remember.
• 11:37
  In terms of off nights, the top ones are Colorado with six off
• 11:40
  nights and New Jersey with five off nights.
• 11:42
  So that's something new to keep in mind.
• 11:45
  And then? And this is week 21 to 23.
• 11:47
  I don't know. If that's all I did but yet.
• 11:49
  And all and also it's just like if you play in the league that
• 11:52
  has 22 to 24, like seriously consider next year moving to 21
• 11:56
  to 23 because there's gonna be guys talk about on this episode
• 12:00
  for 22 to 24 that come week 24, not even gonna be playing
• 12:03
  anymore because either the team is out of it and they just want
• 12:05
  to venture guys because their little banged up or somebody
• 12:08
  needs to rest before the playoffs started.
• 12:09
  We saw last year like dry Seidel was scratched for like the last
• 12:12
  week and a half of the of the season.
• 12:13
  Like imagine you had dry settle your first round.
• 12:15
  Pick your whole team like the whole year and then come the
• 12:19
  championship finals for your fantasy team.
• 12:20
  He's just like on your IR because he needs.
• 12:22
  To imagine that Kevin, because it happened to me and it was
• 12:27
  awful and we don't even play until week 24.
• 12:30
  He just got benched for like 2-3 like 2 full weeks before the
• 12:33
  season ended. That was that was brutal.
• 12:35
  Yeah. Now, so definitely move it to
• 12:36
  2123 if you have the choice or message your your Commission bug
• 12:40
  them to do that. OK, going to the this.
• 12:43
  So we had the S tier ones, we had the A tier ones.
• 12:45
  This is kind of like B where it's like you don't have to get
• 12:47
  them off your team, but like it's nothing to be excited
• 12:50
  about. So that all the 1010 game ones,
• 12:52
  so some mix OF233 game weeks and a four-game week you've got
• 12:56
  Anaheim, Calgary, Detroit, Washington, Buffalo, LA, San
• 13:00
  Jose, Vancouver, Nashville, Vegas, Winnipeg.
• 13:03
  I will say the only one of these teams that you may want to like
• 13:06
  be a bit more pressed to move off of is Nashville because
• 13:09
  although overall they have 10 games, they do have a two game
• 13:11
  week in the finals. So there are 442.
• 13:13
  So I mean quarters and semis is sick.
• 13:15
  But you know, having any two game week is kind of like I'd
• 13:18
  rather have the kind of, you know, the baseline of like
• 13:20
  A334AS opposed to A442. So that's just something to keep
• 13:24
  in mind from that group. And then the I don't know what
• 13:28
  we call this tier, the F tier, like the L's, you know, they
• 13:31
  suck. I don't know, but we've.
• 13:34
  Gone way down the alphabet. For the Yeah, exactly.
• 13:36
  Yeah. Hey, you got B and then you got
• 13:38
  whatever is passez. Exactly, exactly.
• 13:42
  These are the ones who. Played dollar sign Dollar sign
• 13:44
  here. Yes, there you go.
• 13:46
  Added $2.00 signs but it made it worse.
• 13:51
  Well these are these are teams that play only 9 times over the
• 13:53
  course of those three weeks. We've got Saint Louis, Toronto,
• 13:56
  Utah, Minnesota, Edmonton, Seattle.
• 13:59
  The two of those teams that have two game weeks are Saint Louis
• 14:03
  who's a 234 and Utah who's a 432.
• 14:06
  All the others are just threes across the board.
• 14:08
  One thing to note though for Saint Louis is although they
• 14:11
  have a two game week and it's a Niner, which is obviously like
• 14:15
  not a lot, they have 5 off nights.
• 14:17
  So they're not necessarily like you don't like if it, you know,
• 14:22
  we talked about it like in that little blurb earlier, right,
• 14:24
  where you're trying to maximize your off nights.
• 14:26
  Otherwise the extra games don't matter.
• 14:28
  So if you make a trade for someone who has like 2 more
• 14:30
  games, but then you're just gonna have to bench that guy for
• 14:32
  those two extra games, then there's no need to move off your
• 14:34
  Saint Louis guys. That's just something to note
• 14:36
  with how the off nights tie into things.
• 14:38
  So, bit of a splitting feathers question, but would you rather
• 14:40
  Saint Louis or Winnipeg? OK, that's one.
• 14:43
  Explanation. Yeah.
• 14:45
  No, but like in terms of general team, I'd rather Saint Louis so.
• 14:48
  The polarity or or Dylan Holloway.
• 14:51
  I'm taking Holloway. Ooh.
• 14:54
  But actually made that trade last year.
• 14:57
  I know it wasn't too for two, but I made that exact exactly.
• 14:59
  On the majority. Yeah, exactly.
• 15:01
  Yeah. So the reason I asked this
• 15:03
  because like, Winnipeg's a 10 gamer with 0 off nights and
• 15:06
  Saint Louis is a nine gamer with five off nights.
• 15:07
  So it obviously depends on your team, right?
• 15:09
  If you have a bunch of Rangers guys and you don't need the off
• 15:11
  nights, then you take that one extra game from Winnipeg.
• 15:14
  But like it just at the end of the day, it's what gives you
• 15:16
  more games played. That's pretty much.
• 15:19
  Shorter bench, shorter roster like that can be like big factor
• 15:22
  in this too. For sure.
• 15:23
  Yeah, definitely. I was gonna say like, look at
• 15:26
  all these teams in the $8 sign dollar sign tier and it's like
• 15:28
  half the first round is in here. Which is crazy.
• 15:31
  My team is in there. You got, you got the Edmonton
• 15:35
  guys, the McDavid, the dry sites that you got the Kaprizov.
• 15:38
  Maybe Quinn Hughes was a first rounder in your league.
• 15:40
  Yeah, Austin Matthews is in this tier, you know, Neil Nylander,
• 15:44
  so a lot of big boys. Yeah, no, it's a.
• 15:46
  Dead Vilardi, Dylan Holloway. Yeah, alright, so those were the
• 15:52
  teams. Now let's get into some players.
• 15:55
  So these are the top players to target in trades.
• 15:57
  We're not going to talk about free agent pickup.
• 15:59
  I mean we might, I haven't, I haven't listed them, but like we
• 16:01
  couldn't go into teams to convention guys who might be
• 16:03
  worth picking up as a free agent, but anyone who don't
• 16:05
  mention as a trade worthy guy I wouldn't trade for.
• 16:08
  So like for example, gonna start with the Rangers.
• 16:10
  Like I didn't put in Lafreniere, I wouldn't trade for him just
• 16:12
  because the schedule, if he's available, I wouldn't mind
• 16:14
  picking him up because it's a really nice schedule.
• 16:16
  But that's kind of like the vibe we're going with.
• 16:19
  And always bangers leagues. Yes, always angers.
• 16:21
  Chats leagues are focus if some guys obviously are better in in
• 16:24
  multiple formats. Yeah, I mean, honestly, I kind
• 16:27
  of just listed the best players in all the best playoff
• 16:29
  schedules. So I think this is league
• 16:32
  independent. Like no matter what league
• 16:33
  you're in, you're gonna want these guys.
• 16:35
  But it varies depending on your settings for sure.
• 16:36
  And then we'll highlight which of these guys are like we're
• 16:39
  saying here, all the guys that are worth training for, but
• 16:41
  we'll also highlight which ones are actually buy lows as opposed
• 16:44
  to, you know, like guys who are like, you know, not to spoil it
• 16:46
  again, we're getting in the Rangers like you're not gonna
• 16:48
  trade for advantage at right now, right?
• 16:49
  He's way too hot. Like it's just you're not going
• 16:51
  to get good value for it. So even though it would be nice
• 16:53
  to have on your team for the schedule, that's not something
• 16:55
  you really want to go out and do right now.
• 16:57
  So let's get into it with so many prefaces.
• 17:00
  Let's just dive into the meat and potatoes of it.
• 17:03
  So let's start with the New York Rangers.
• 17:05
  So the four guys that I've listed here that I think are
• 17:08
  worth trading for on the Rangers.
• 17:10
  And by the way, this is not including goalies.
• 17:11
  Goalies is going to be its own separate section.
• 17:13
  We've got Jonathan Tonan, Jonathan Talismanic, Miller,
• 17:17
  Adam Fox, Mikasa Managed and Will Cooley.
• 17:21
  So what do you guys think of these targets in terms of like
• 17:24
  availability, who you want the most going into the playoffs?
• 17:29
  I noticed. First thing I noticed is you did
• 17:31
  not put trocheck here. Is that because you're assuming
• 17:33
  he gets traded or you just forgot?
• 17:35
  I'd say it was mainly because he gets traded, but you know, it'll
• 17:38
  take that one. I was doing this all off the
• 17:43
  Dome and then I mean, like, I'm, I'm like 90% sure he's getting
• 17:46
  traded. Yeah.
• 17:47
  So I don't know if I would want to like, but I should put his
• 17:50
  name down anyways on the Rangers now.
• 17:51
  But that's a good thing to talk about for sure.
• 17:53
  If you have Trocheck on your team, the last news I heard
• 17:56
  from, I mean the main source that everybody's always
• 17:58
  listening to Elliott Friedman, and he said that project prefers
• 18:01
  to go to a East Coast team. Carolina.
• 18:04
  Right. And he does.
• 18:05
  I mean who at what? I think that rules out like
• 18:08
  Minnesota. I think that rules out you know,
• 18:10
  the LA teams cause I know the Kings who just traded for Panera
• 18:14
  and also were looking for a centre.
• 18:16
  So to me, it's just it feels like it's Florida or it's
• 18:21
  Carolina. And took his tool teams.
• 18:24
  Yeah, that's actually crazy. So I mean a lot of familiarity
• 18:28
  there. I I really feel like it's gonna
• 18:30
  be Carolina. I think they were they were in
• 18:32
  on Panarin too. They have the room like they can
• 18:34
  make it happen. It feels like a no brainer and
• 18:36
  honestly I don't hate that because I feel like he slots
• 18:40
  into P1 ahead of Jordan install, who Drew Install playing against
• 18:43
  him this week. He's going off.
• 18:44
  He's like five goals in six games.
• 18:47
  Jordan Stall. Matthew Olivia's long lost
• 18:49
  cousin. Seriously, he had nothing
• 18:51
  fantasy relevant for years. It's like all he does is get
• 18:53
  face off wins and nothing else. But not against me.
• 18:59
  Look at the schedule. He's like, OHP, Kevin's playing
• 19:02
  this guy this week. I believe they won.
• 19:07
  So yeah, the NHL coaches confer and they'll check your fantasy
• 19:11
  schedule and make sure they know what's.
• 19:13
  Good. OK.
• 19:14
  So from the players you listed, I mean, so just to highlight,
• 19:19
  Adam Fox is the one that you put as your your bi Lo, obviously
• 19:22
  he's had all the injury issues. That one, yeah.
• 19:25
  Yeah, he could have a monster, his finish for the year, of
• 19:27
  course. And I know they're still trading
• 19:29
  away some of their top guys for questionable returns and trade
• 19:32
  was an interesting one. But it will give you know, the
• 19:35
  younger players on this team and the guys who maybe have had less
• 19:38
  ice time, more opportunities to succeed.
• 19:40
  So Adam Fox was already having a really good year before the
• 19:44
  injury. So it's he's definitely at the
• 19:47
  top of the list of who I'd want to target.
• 19:49
  I totally agree here. Will Cooley is another one who I
• 19:52
  think could have a tremendous opportunity.
• 19:54
  I don't think his spot on power play to where he's currently at
• 19:58
  now is necessarily going to stay.
• 19:59
  He could easily slot in power play one, especially if Trocheck
• 20:02
  gets traded. That could be an awesome player,
• 20:05
  especially in bangers leagues for the duration of the.
• 20:08
  The the season after the Olympics, and I don't mind laugh
• 20:11
  here. Not gonna lie.
• 20:12
  If Lafreniere stays on the Rangers, maybe being on a less
• 20:16
  good team is what he needed to actually start shining.
• 20:19
  So that could be an interesting one too.
• 20:21
  I mean, but I don't know if I would trade for him.
• 20:24
  Like I would pick him up, but like, yeah, so.
• 20:29
  Throw in from your opponent and like a trader, like I'll do this
• 20:32
  but I need a little sweetener. Just throw in laugh and we'll
• 20:34
  get it done. But yeah, exactly, yeah.
• 20:36
  He's like the Batherson of today's episode.
• 20:39
  Yeah. They mentioned bathers and
• 20:42
  because you can't not but. Yeah, of course.
• 20:45
  But yeah, so. This is the main thing I think
• 20:48
  that is a question a lot of people have with these Rangers
• 20:50
  guys is this is the worst team in the league.
• 20:52
  Like is there any inkling in your mind that like, you know,
• 20:56
  trading for one of the worst teams?
• 20:58
  The thing is, their fantasy assets are still producing
• 21:01
  right, even though the bottom of the standings.
• 21:03
  But are you afraid at all at anybody gets shut down or
• 21:06
  whatnot? Don't forget, like Mike Sullivan
• 21:07
  and JT Miller, they went to the Olympics right now as we speak,
• 21:10
  they're they're in Milan suiting up and everything.
• 21:13
  So I, I feel like there's always an asterisk with these guys
• 21:18
  being like there's a chance maybe they get shut down earlier
• 21:21
  if anything happens to them, I mean.
• 21:23
  That's what happened last year with the Yoshi, who I also had
• 21:25
  the joy of having on my team. He got like that injury, right?
• 21:30
  And he was like day-to-day. And then he missed the last two
• 21:32
  months of the season because they were so bad.
• 21:33
  That was like, why would we rush him back?
• 21:35
  There's just nothing to play for.
• 21:36
  So definitely like with these bad teams, the second a guy
• 21:39
  who's like important to the team gets any sort of injury, there's
• 21:42
  always the chance of them just shutting him down for the
• 21:44
  season. So something to keep in mind.
• 21:45
  But like, you can't really plan for injury, right?
• 21:47
  It's definitely something to think about though.
• 21:49
  And I was going to say, I think Sebastian will cool.
• 21:51
  You are the ones that are least likely to get shut down for any
• 21:55
  given reason. But I think Fox and J, if
• 21:58
  anything were to happen, I think they'd be quick to shut them
• 22:00
  down, right thing. J, we've seen he's been banged
• 22:02
  up throughout the whole season, but he's going to do Olympics
• 22:04
  now. Adam Fox, he's hurt as we speak,
• 22:07
  right? So it's like, OK, what's what's
• 22:09
  happening there? Fox is so he's very polarizing
• 22:12
  in terms of like guys that trade 4 because you don't know how to
• 22:15
  value him given like the last year was healthy, the Rangers
• 22:18
  were still tried to compete. So it's like, what are we, what
• 22:20
  are we expecting now, right. And then he also like he came
• 22:23
  back for one game and then was out for another month.
• 22:26
  So like definitely the injury and I feel like it just hasn't
• 22:28
  been kind of like no one's really expanded on what's wrong
• 22:31
  with him, right? Like it's kind of just very
• 22:33
  sketchy situation. So, but I think that kind of
• 22:35
  ties into why I view him as like the Best Buy low here, because
• 22:38
  with how little he's played and how like sketchy the situation
• 22:41
  is, his value should be like his value compared to how much value
• 22:46
  he should have is the biggest. So it really is your risk
• 22:49
  tolerance, but really? It's really trade forum.
• 22:53
  I mean, I sent Dougie Hamilton plus for fall.
• 22:56
  Really. It got rejected.
• 22:57
  Um. That's a great offer.
• 22:59
  I thought it was a good offer but the guy doesn't make trades
• 23:01
  so you're. Also giving a good playoff
• 23:03
  schedule there so. I know, yeah.
• 23:05
  So, yeah. So I think look, the way I see
• 23:08
  it when Fox comes back, he's a near point per game guy with
• 23:11
  really solid like power play points and then.
• 23:14
  What's the point anymore? I guess that's a big, that's a
• 23:19
  big deal. Panarin is a really significant
• 23:20
  player. I don't know.
• 23:22
  I still don't see it like I think Fox is a good enough
• 23:25
  player on like on his own. Sebage has been on fire.
• 23:28
  Miller's been really good lately.
• 23:29
  Like I think coolly and laugh can slaughter on that power play
• 23:31
  and make it a league average power play.
• 23:33
  Like I don't I don't think we're gonna be anywhere near the top,
• 23:35
  but like and I know they've been on fire like lately.
• 23:37
  So you can definitely like bake that into like a little bit of
• 23:40
  regression, but I still see him being like a point 9.85 points
• 23:43
  per game guy like there's. Not many five power play points.
• 23:46
  Yeah. And then like 1.8 shots and like
• 23:48
  1.5 blocks or something like that.
• 23:50
  Like, you know, you're not getting it for the back to the
• 23:52
  points power play points and and the elite playoff schedule.
• 23:55
  So I still like him as a boy, but it's definitely something
• 23:58
  that you have to be wary of. But yeah.
• 24:00
  So on your question of who would you send for him?
• 24:03
  OK. So I would send to Hamilton.
• 24:06
  I would send cool. What else?
• 24:08
  Other games I would send. I mean, obviously like John.
• 24:11
  Carlson, somebody feasible? Yeah.
• 24:13
  John Carlson's here right now, but yeah.
• 24:15
  Yeah, yeah. Maybe he's like day-to-day, but
• 24:16
  yeah, yeah, I would send. Sergachev I think we should, we
• 24:21
  could look at the top trade away targets and kind of dive into
• 24:23
  like. And get to once we get.
• 24:25
  To those ghost ghost for Adam Fox.
• 24:29
  Hmm, that's tough at this point in the season.
• 24:31
  Like I don't see why you would. If goes out of bad playoff
• 24:35
  schedule then yeah. But like he has just one fewer
• 24:37
  game. So I don't see why I don't think
• 24:40
  the risk is worth the rewards there because they're the same
• 24:43
  market type of player. Yeah, like this is what you're
• 24:46
  talking about. Not exaggerating earlier.
• 24:47
  Don't give like a Queen Hughes, You know what I mean?
• 24:49
  Obviously, playoff schedule for good.
• 24:51
  Playoff schedule. Yeah, not in the realm of what
• 24:53
  you should do. This is a perfect example.
• 24:55
  Let's do one more and then we'll move on.
• 24:56
  Yeah. Shafer I'd keep.
• 24:59
  Really. Why split the difference?
• 25:00
  Let's go. We're not even.
• 25:02
  Would you rather ring? And he's a Yeah, yeah.
• 25:05
  Yeah, just cause the injury situation is ambiguous and I
• 25:07
  think that I think that like the Islanders are really trying to
• 25:10
  push to make it, yeah. Yeah, sure.
• 25:12
  I mean, just at the end of the day, it's not your risk
• 25:13
  tolerance and I just, I love taking big risky.
• 25:15
  Places you guys go Android. Really going on drugs.
• 25:23
  OK. Let's let's move on to Boston.
• 25:25
  So, so on Boston guys who are worth trading for.
• 25:29
  Here's my in my order. I would have obviously Pasternak
• 25:32
  McAvoy geeky and Elias Lindholm. The most attainable 1 is Elias
• 25:37
  Lindholm. He's injured, but he's going to
• 25:39
  play in the Olympics, so he should be back after the Olympic
• 25:41
  break and he's only like 30% rostered.
• 25:44
  But like he's a guy I think who's like could be really
• 25:47
  valuable come come playoff time 444 if you're in a faceoff wins
• 25:50
  league, you know, that extra game is just an extra like 3
• 25:53
  faceoff wins and we'll get you like maybe like one shot, one
• 25:56
  hit, one block. And then just being on that
• 25:57
  power play. It's a top five power play in
• 25:58
  the league with Pasternak laying line, one power play, 1.
• 26:01
  I think he just does not get enough respect, especially with
• 26:04
  that playoff schedule. So I think he's the easiest 1 to
• 26:06
  attain. I think he's just been way too
• 26:08
  hot. You're not going to be happy
• 26:09
  with what price you have to pay for him.
• 26:11
  Same with McAvoy Pasta. It doesn't matter how hot he is,
• 26:14
  you always have to pay that premium price.
• 26:15
  So I actually like buying pasta if you can for you know, you'll
• 26:19
  have to pay full price for him. It's not a buy low.
• 26:21
  But here's the here's a case where like if you have capris,
• 26:23
  are you training for pasta? Yes, I am no breaking.
• 26:26
  I'm taking that one extra game like for every every week there.
• 26:29
  So that's something that could get done.
• 26:31
  You know, like I think capital has been insane.
• 26:33
  So I think that's that's the type of trade where if you know,
• 26:36
  you're dating someone who doesn't look at playoff
• 26:37
  schedule, they'll be like, oh damn, I'm just getting a better
• 26:40
  player here or whatever, or who's playing better than I
• 26:42
  think it's easy. To use for pasta.
• 26:44
  Yeah, for sure. So these are all great ones.
• 26:48
  What do you guys think? I'll do that yeah.
• 26:51
  I also agree that Lynn Holmes the most attainable I I think
• 26:54
  that one of the problems with this Boston team IRL is that
• 26:58
  they're kinda top heavy. I think that sooner than later
• 27:01
  they're gonna fall off. We've been saying that all year,
• 27:04
  but. There's still a lot of like five
• 27:06
  years. What's good about it about 21 to
• 27:09
  23 for playoffs is that basically you're in a position
• 27:12
  where it's not so as contingent on the on the team's
• 27:17
  performance, you know, they're yes, they did bench dry settle
• 27:20
  like 2 weeks before the season ended.
• 27:22
  That was, that was kind of weird.
• 27:23
  I don't really see that necessarily happening with a
• 27:26
  team like Boston that's gonna be in the race at least until
• 27:29
  midweek 22. You know, I don't think they're
• 27:32
  benching any of these guys. Let's just good and yeah, I
• 27:36
  don't really think there's anyone outside of the top four
• 27:38
  that you mentioned. Like Minton's been kinda cool
• 27:41
  but he's pick up territory you're not trading for.
• 27:43
  Him and grab him like his stream, but like I'm not trading
• 27:46
  for him. For instance, you can toss that
• 27:48
  seem categories laugh like stream slash.
• 27:50
  You throw them in as a throw in into the tree, but like, you
• 27:52
  know, actually value him but like he can stay on your roster
• 27:54
  for that. Yeah.
• 27:55
  I think I will say to me, I order like I know you put this
• 27:58
  one to four. I don't know if it's a hard set
• 28:00
  order, but I prefer Geeky over McAvoy if possible.
• 28:05
  I think. I just think Geek's point
• 28:06
  ceiling is much higher. And I mean I put macros that
• 28:10
  sell high recently and I put Geek as a buy low recently and
• 28:13
  has was back and then some. So few traded for him when I
• 28:17
  recommended him. Like you're you're pretty much
• 28:19
  you're already set for your playoffs, let's say that.
• 28:23
  And yeah, I I just think he's more valuable of a player like,
• 28:26
  you know, one for one trade rather have geeky over McAvoy,
• 28:28
  but obviously both I'd rather have for the playoffs.
• 28:30
  So. Yeah, yeah, that's fair.
• 28:33
  All right, let's get to the third of the Steer teams, which
• 28:36
  is Pittsburgh guys we're treating for Sidney Crosby, Eric
• 28:39
  Carlson, Ginny Malkin, Ryan Rust, Ricard Raquel.
• 28:42
  Are we at this point just not worried at all about some of
• 28:45
  these guys getting traded away? Penguins are second in their
• 28:47
  division. They're making the playoffs.
• 28:48
  They're not going to sell. The there's no way.
• 28:51
  Can you imagine? If they're selling pieces,
• 28:52
  they're selling Crosby. Like Crosby is not is not
• 28:56
  staying on this team. If they're not a playoff team
• 28:58
  type of thing, like they're not gonna be selling assets that
• 29:00
  keeping Crosby, that just does not make any sense.
• 29:02
  This team is in the playoff race and they look good.
• 29:05
  Yeah, they're not gonna be selling.
• 29:07
  Yeah, no, so that was one of my worries with Carlson, Rachel
• 29:10
  earlier in the seat and Russ earlier in the season, right.
• 29:13
  Like all those, I mean, even Malkin, like pretty much other
• 29:15
  than even Crosby, you know, like if the season went as poorly as
• 29:19
  most people expected for them, I don't think anyone was safe from
• 29:22
  being traded. But at this point, I think you
• 29:23
  can kind of bank on their playoff schedule.
• 29:25
  I think we can all say that the Steward Skinner trade saved
• 29:28
  their season. So.
• 29:30
  Thank God they got Jerry off their roster and they got actual
• 29:33
  good goalie. Yeah, I mean, Kulak and Brett
• 29:37
  Kulak. Yeah, no, no, huge, huge trade
• 29:40
  for them. Catch Kevin in the comments.
• 29:43
  Still is still giving people a shit for it.
• 29:48
  But yeah, who are the one here I think is the like buy lowest is
• 29:51
  Brian Russ that actually Raquel also I think could be a solid, a
• 29:54
  solid Bilo and I like both of those.
• 29:56
  Raquel went from averaging like 5 shots a game and like two hits
• 29:59
  to like getting straight zeros for the last three games.
• 30:01
  While I'm in this matchup against, you know, must win
• 30:03
  opponent. So love that for me.
• 30:06
  So if you look at the stats for the last week, he's definitely a
• 30:08
  buy low. Malkin is the interesting one
• 30:10
  because he's somebody that we've touted the whole season as like
• 30:12
  get him off your roster. He could go back to zero type of
• 30:14
  thing. Maybe he's just here to stay.
• 30:17
  Like obviously we're always evaluating takes and how we feel
• 30:19
  about players. I do not think he's going back
• 30:21
  to zero at this point obviously. But do I think he's a point per
• 30:25
  game player rest of season? I don't think so.
• 30:27
  I just feel like maybe that's naive of me because he's been
• 30:29
  that the whole season at this thus far pretty much.
• 30:32
  But he's still banned doubling. If anybody out this list like
• 30:34
  there's a lot of injury prone guys on this list, you could
• 30:36
  argue the whole list of injury prone.
• 30:39
  It actually. Yeah, but if I had to single out
• 30:43
  one person that I think is the most injury probably at this.
• 30:45
  Point yeah, I mean if it's a rank them from most to least
• 30:48
  it'd be Malkin, Rust, Raquel, Carlson, Crosby, yeah, you'll be
• 30:52
  my but they're all like they all get into yeah.
• 30:55
  So I think with Malkin, like he's the one that like I just
• 30:58
  think his values too high with being over point game all season
• 31:01
  versus what I expect him to do in the playoffs.
• 31:03
  That like, you know, I want him on the my team because of the
• 31:05
  playoff schedule, but I don't want to buy him at the price
• 31:07
  he's currently at. So that's a tough one.
• 31:10
  Rust and Raquel I think are my top 2.
• 31:12
  Like Billows Carlson, I think like he's just been really good.
• 31:15
  You could buy low season, but like he's been he's been slow a
• 31:18
  bit. So you can buy low there.
• 31:19
  And Crosby is kind of like the same vibe as Pasternak.
• 31:21
  Like, you're always gonna have to pay full price for Crosby
• 31:23
  regardless how he's doing, but it's definitely worth.
• 31:25
  What I like about this team is that they've they've made it so
• 31:30
  that they haven't yeah, that they made it so that they have
• 31:32
  an enough depth on this team that they can actually keep that
• 31:35
  top line to together. So I know math is there now cuz
• 31:41
  Raquel, I mean, if you look at daily face off like there's that
• 31:43
  injury for Raquel, but usually it is Raquel Crosby rust and
• 31:48
  anyone with exposure to Crosby is due for some positive
• 31:51
  regression if they're not playing well.
• 31:53
  Yeah, that's kind of the way it goes.
• 31:54
  I just want to also say a quick little tidbit.
• 31:57
  On February 5th, Avery Hayes got two goals, six shots and two
• 32:02
  hits and was not listed as a player on Yahoo.
• 32:07
  This classic Yahoo. To be honest, I looked been
• 32:09
  happening the whole season. It's like he he's now in a but
• 32:14
  when I when I look looked it up, I was like, wow, what a goal He
• 32:17
  scored like his first shot, first goal like 10 minutes in,
• 32:20
  like his father was in the stats.
• 32:22
  Everyone was hype and like I looked it up.
• 32:23
  I was like, whoa, who is this kid?
• 32:24
  First of all, is he related to Kevin?
• 32:26
  Because I think they thought you, but Kevin Hayes, the other
• 32:29
  Kevin, I think they were playing on the same line.
• 32:32
  And second of all, like, whoa, like that was a really nice goal
• 32:36
  and he was just non existent. Yeah.
• 32:39
  So just to say six shots, two hits, that's that's not nothing
• 32:42
  for bangers leagues. But but back to the point, yeah,
• 32:45
  I think that both Raquel and Rust are are fantastic rest of
• 32:48
  season. They're they will not be traded
• 32:50
  away if Pittsburgh is in the race.
• 32:52
  Obviously Raquel was kind of the one we were talking about all
• 32:54
  year, potentially going to a different destination.
• 32:57
  It doesn't seem like that's going to happen.
• 32:59
  I agree that Malkin won't necessarily be a point per game
• 33:02
  because he's been $8 on dollar sign for the past few years.
• 33:05
  But it still is Evgeni Malkin, who has the pedigree of being an
• 33:09
  incredible layer. Now that he's playing on the
• 33:11
  wing, maybe it kind of just makes him more offensive than
• 33:14
  you'll have less defensive responsibility.
• 33:16
  So I don't think he's gonna fall off that much.
• 33:19
  If he does fall off. And Chikov, it's an ad.
• 33:22
  It's not a trade for, but Chikov Chinatown.
• 33:25
  Interesting. Dude, for the moment in my.
• 33:28
  Opinion yeah, we'll see the tough thing with like so like we
• 33:31
  talked about Rangers in Boston having some guys that you can
• 33:34
  just pick up and hold for the whole playoffs, right, Because
• 33:36
  there are 4 four, but with like Pittsburgh is like 435 schedule.
• 33:39
  Like you're not picking a guy up like a China cover, whatever.
• 33:42
  Like you can pick up the stream in like the first week, the week
• 33:45
  21, right? You're not gonna hold him in a
• 33:46
  three-game week 1. There's other four-game week
• 33:48
  guys you know coming. So it's like it's kind of weird.
• 33:50
  It's like you could pick him up for the first week, drop him and
• 33:52
  then try and pick him up again for that five game week.
• 33:54
  So it's not like the same vibe as these other two where you
• 33:56
  just hold them for the full 3 weeks.
• 33:57
  I think having that three in the middle kind of throws a wrench
• 34:00
  in the plan. So I see these more as like kind
• 34:02
  of that, you know, you can stream for the first week for
• 34:04
  the third, but like you're not going to hold on to them the
• 34:06
  whole playoffs unless unless they're just popping off.
• 34:08
  But I don't expect that from anyone not on that probably 1
• 34:10
  unit. OK, so that was the STR teams.
• 34:13
  Let's go. And we're just we're just
• 34:14
  talking for players to target. It's just the store on the at
• 34:17
  tier. Otherwise it's not great
• 34:19
  schedule. So let's get into the A tier
• 34:21
  team. So we've got Colorado.
• 34:22
  So this kind of ties back to us our preseason content, right?
• 34:26
  Talking about how we want McKinnon over McDavid.
• 34:28
  And we were talking about this months in advance and look where
• 34:31
  we are now. And you know who we want
• 34:34
  McKinnon because that's what we said, playoff schedule.
• 34:36
  So yeah, so obviously the first choice McKinnon then you've got
• 34:38
  Macar niches Nelson. I didn't include all those the
• 34:43
  you know, the selection in the Trushkin Landeskog.
• 34:46
  You know, like I don't know if I want to like pay for them in a
• 34:48
  trade because or if I do, I don't want to buy the one that's
• 34:52
  currently on power play one for that value because I don't think
• 34:54
  any of them has that on lock. So like I don't want to pay
• 34:57
  power play 1 value for a guy who's probably gonna get bumped
• 34:59
  off in a few games. If I would, I would buy like for
• 35:02
  super cheap. One of them if they're like not
• 35:04
  on power play one because because the upside of them
• 35:07
  getting it at any moment Biden include them because I don't
• 35:10
  think their values like necessarily there these guys I
• 35:11
  think are all locks Hartley one including Nelson, which is kind
• 35:15
  of crazy and like if you set the start of this season.
• 35:17
  But honestly, the biggest blow out of these four, I think is
• 35:20
  Kyle Mccarr. He's been pretty pretty slow and
• 35:23
  pretty quiet for the past couple of weeks.
• 35:25
  I think he's only .8 points per game, something like that, which
• 35:28
  is like from for any defenseman that's great from a car that's
• 35:30
  terrible when he was for Kyle Mccarter.
• 35:33
  Is that something that you guys do?
• 35:35
  I mean, I absolutely, and I was going to say that the issue with
• 35:39
  these like first round level guys being by laws is that
• 35:44
  there's only a certain range of players that are even accessible
• 35:47
  in terms of like using them as a buy low because you don't want
• 35:50
  to pay too much. And then there's certain guys
• 35:52
  you just can never get done no matter how good they are.
• 35:55
  Like nobody's trading, nobody's trading Eric Carlson for Kyle
• 35:59
  Mccarter, even though Eric Carle is averaging like 1.4 points per
• 36:01
  game or the last month and Kim 8.
• 36:03
  Like it's just never going to happen, right?
• 36:05
  So I think Quinn Hughes slides in that right in the middle of
• 36:08
  that threshold where it's just like he's good enough that
• 36:09
  you're able to make the swap. He's he's elite in his own
• 36:12
  right. He's a top three defensemen.
• 36:14
  But I still rather have Kilcar come playoff time.
• 36:16
  But yeah, Queen Hughes is on one of the worst he's in.
• 36:18
  He's in the $8 sign dollar sign here for a playoff schedule in
• 36:21
  week 21 to 23. So.
• 36:22
  Yeah, I think it's McKinnon. Obviously, we would do that.
• 36:26
  I've been sending that nonstop, but the guys in first place so
• 36:28
  he doesn't make any trades. He's just like, what, you're
• 36:34
  gonna be like week 21. I don't know when I play off,
• 36:37
  Yeah. I mean, whatever.
• 36:38
  It'll be like, oh, maybe this week I'll accept.
• 36:40
  Maybe this week, yeah. Well I always throw in like
• 36:43
  different like surrounding cast, but the main part of the trade
• 36:46
  is like I sent it when like McDavid was like 2 point
• 36:48
  something points per game and McKinnon was like 1.7 or
• 36:51
  something. You know, he still said.
• 36:52
  No. Why?
• 36:53
  I mean it was like a .5 difference like I think in any
• 36:56
  other league like that gets done but the guy didn't want to
• 36:59
  trade. But anyways, also Natus was
• 37:01
  day-to-day out for a bit, so that would be kind of a biolo
• 37:05
  with how he's been. So any of these four guys, if
• 37:08
  you can get them even at full price, but definitely if you get
• 37:11
  the buy low ones for a bit cheaper, I'm super interested.
• 37:14
  Depends on your team, but yeah. If you have Bouchard, that's
• 37:18
  also a really good one to try to trade from afar.
• 37:21
  Obviously I think you're gonna have to give a little plus, but
• 37:23
  I think this is Bouchard's all time high and low.
• 37:28
  I think that's what. You could do that for one.
• 37:29
  For one. Oh, yeah, that would be awesome.
• 37:32
  Even you'll see like, yeah, he's got the name value.
• 37:35
  Like those are some targets. Quinn Hughes, we mentioned like
• 37:38
  the top three scoring defensemen over the last month are
• 37:41
  Bouchard, Hughes, Yoshi and they have, they're all bad playoff
• 37:44
  schedules. Well, no Darren Radish in there.
• 37:47
  No, he's like 6th but. He's.
• 37:50
  Bum. But he's got the name value.
• 37:54
  Yeah, and they're just, I love as a yeah.
• 37:57
  Like I, I, I know that like you know, you're picking the Best
• 37:59
  Buy low, but I think nature is a very close second to Macar here.
• 38:03
  I sent Panarin plus for NHS and it got rejected in our league
• 38:07
  really and the owner is like reeling right now.
• 38:10
  He might not make the playoffs. Yeah, that's crazy.
• 38:12
  That's like that should have been accepted for.
• 38:15
  Sure, at a certain point it's just like I'm not gonna keep
• 38:17
  overpaying. For now.
• 38:21
  Yeah, I think it was like there and Echlin for natures plus like
• 38:25
  random thing, I think it was a goalie.
• 38:26
  Because you had more goals too, yeah.
• 38:29
  Yeah, but we've got 4 goalies that he doesn't want, 4 goalie.
• 38:32
  That's why he's losing every week.
• 38:33
  Yeah, yeah. Would you have done the one for
• 38:35
  one? I, I I would.
• 38:36
  Yeah, I would have done for one. Yeah.
• 38:38
  If you're listening out there, just just just know that there's
• 38:42
  more negotiations. Don't counter.
• 38:43
  No, nothing like that was my first offer.
• 38:46
  All that means, yeah, some people just don't trade.
• 38:48
  Anyways, let's go to the next one, New Jersey.
• 38:51
  So Jack Hughes, Nico Hischer, Dougie Hamilton, yes, for Brat.
• 38:54
  I mean, look, I highlighted Hughes and Brat as the as the
• 38:57
  biggest buy lows here. He's been pretty solid in
• 38:59
  Hamilton's been on fire. So those are a bit harder to
• 39:02
  get. I mean, Hamilton also can always
• 39:04
  be a biologist how awful he was for most of the season.
• 39:06
  So maybe the owner is just happy to get value for him.
• 39:09
  But what do you guys think? Jack Hughes, do you believe he
• 39:12
  can be healthy rest of season? Somebody in our Discord was
• 39:16
  trying to trade away Jack Use for like Jake Guentzel, Brandon
• 39:19
  Hagel, these guys like Kyle Connor and to Jackie smiling
• 39:25
  right now because he has. He yeah.
• 39:28
  He has Hagel, but I just think the sentiment on Jacks use is
• 39:32
  really low because people are just like he's just never going
• 39:33
  to be healthy, like I'm gonna hold him my roster.
• 39:35
  He's no he's great when he's playing, but he's not always
• 39:37
  playing. So what am I doing here?
• 39:39
  I mean I bought Jack Hughes earlier in the season.
• 39:41
  I paid Batherson plus Hyman for Jack Hughes.
• 39:44
  That was happy with that. It was like a good consolidation
• 39:47
  on my part, I think. But then Jackie got hurt after
• 39:49
  and I was like, OK, like is just writing my R now, I guess.
• 39:51
  But it's tough. It's tough with these guys.
• 39:54
  I think you're in a position of power.
• 39:55
  I'm still trying to trade for these guys, especially if the
• 39:57
  sentiment is a little lower, if Jack is on a team that's not in
• 40:00
  the playoffs in your league. Like I'm trying to pounce on
• 40:02
  that because that means the price is gonna be even lower
• 40:03
  than you, than you think. I've been trying to buy him all
• 40:06
  year and like I'm sending yeah it.
• 40:09
  Said Banaron for Jack Hughes. Right before crazy.
• 40:11
  Right before Banana got held out, rejected.
• 40:14
  OK, that's, that's not here, just, you know, like you're
• 40:17
  sending way better offers than I am.
• 40:21
  These offers, in theory, should be accepted.
• 40:22
  It helps them out. It helps me out.
• 40:23
  This guy is like, he needed to make a playoff push too.
• 40:26
  And I'm like, OK, I was in the playoffs.
• 40:27
  I was like, I felt comfortable, you know, being able to hold the
• 40:29
  Jack Hughes. But.
• 40:31
  That's crazy. Yeah.
• 40:33
  So, so yeah, usually, but yeah. What I was just gonna say cause
• 40:37
  like, yes, you're like people are are low on hues because he
• 40:41
  hasn't been able to to stay healthy, but he still plays
• 40:44
  games and he's gonna play in the Olympics.
• 40:45
  And I actually think he could come back strong.
• 40:48
  Some people are saying maybe he's going to come back worse
• 40:50
  because he's gonna like he's forcing himself in the Olympics
• 40:53
  and he's already basically rehabbing his injury or
• 40:56
  whatever. Would feel a lot better about it
• 40:58
  if he wasn't playing in the Olympics honestly.
• 41:01
  Yeah. I mean for for.
• 41:02
  Sure. The time to heal, yeah.
• 41:04
  You know what's crazy? The the Eastern Conference has
• 41:08
  one team with a losing record, and it's the Rangers.
• 41:11
  The Devils still have a positive record, and I'm only saying that
• 41:15
  because I really. Yeah, they're still on the hunt.
• 41:17
  Exactly. And if they win, it's going to
• 41:20
  be on the back of Jack Hughes having a monstrous back.
• 41:24
  We've seen it before for bounce back.
• 41:25
  Thank you. And yes, you actually can do
• 41:28
  that. And Brad will would be a part of
• 41:30
  it. So these are like 2 guys that
• 41:32
  are everyone's frustrated owning them except for Kevin.
• 41:35
  Kevin is holding the line like no tomorrow.
• 41:39
  That, But even my my confidence has been slipping like that.
• 41:42
  Do I? Think I'll take him?
• 41:43
  I mean, send me a good offer. I wish you had more that would
• 41:46
  get done in my fingers, but I told somebody.
• 41:51
  Goalie for yester brat. No, but.
• 41:56
  Did your camper for Brad? No, I would not do that.
• 41:59
  What? You're crazy.
• 42:00
  Why would that jumper? He's literally worth an ask,
• 42:03
  Rob. OK, that's insane.
• 42:05
  That's actually an awful take. What he's been doing on the ice
• 42:09
  has been worse than ask her of. Yeah, but I mean.
• 42:11
  I don't ask her of. I mean, first of all, no, I
• 42:14
  asked has been awful. But like, Kemper at least plays
• 42:16
  and he just got Panarin on his team and he's gonna rest up
• 42:19
  during the Olympics because they're not gonna play him over
• 42:21
  the other guys. So I mean like, I I think that's
• 42:24
  an insane take to take a brat overcome.
• 42:27
  I'm not. I would not give.
• 42:29
  Especially with what your team is up.
• 42:30
  Is that right now we're not doing it.
• 42:34
  I'm having fun with this. You will not do that, Josh.
• 42:37
  Wouldn't. I would never let you.
• 42:38
  Kidding me. There's literally no universe
• 42:39
  where you do not take that offer if I said that.
• 42:41
  That's actually a joke. If you've tried to get rid of a
• 42:43
  goalie of giving you, yes, you brought him a little clutter.
• 42:46
  Maybe. Maybe wait until you get later
• 42:47
  in the. Episode I could pull out the
• 42:49
  receipts like Jakey did anybody want number Yeah like the right.
• 42:54
  Price into this? I'm just smiling.
• 42:57
  Yeah, I sent that when I was frustrated and before I built
• 43:00
  this this goalie model and saw that temper is one of the best
• 43:03
  goalie zone in the in the playoffs.
• 43:04
  So spoiler spoiler Sorry I just had such an insane take but.
• 43:10
  Anyway, you think that's insane? I think that's an insane take.
• 43:13
  I think you're. Crazy for thinking that's an
• 43:15
  insane take. Answer in the discord or
• 43:18
  whatever people tell us who you'd rather have rest of
• 43:20
  season. Bradford dropping Kemper People
• 43:22
  are dropping Brad Alice Kemper like has an.
• 43:26
  Entire roster percentage. I'm actually curious.
• 43:28
  Now, campers at 90, I don't know what.
• 43:29
  Brad, Brad, lower than that. Oh wow, crazy the red drops.
• 43:36
  Underneath five? Yeah.
• 43:37
  Wow. Down crazy.
• 43:39
  I think you guys should make that trade.
• 43:41
  I'm not making that. Trade.
• 43:43
  I would not do that trade. OK.
• 43:44
  I would just like save Kevin season.
• 43:46
  That's like when I traded you for Ottinger when he was like
• 43:48
  playing terribly and then he turned it around.
• 43:52
  AutoZone. Because you're having too much
• 43:55
  fun. Just having a good.
• 43:58
  Anyways, I'd love to know in the comments in in YouTube or on
• 44:01
  discord or whatever. Let us know if you'd rather have
• 44:04
  Brat or Kemper over the leaving some contact.
• 44:08
  Over the over in our league, 148th Ask Rob is 700 and 85th.
• 44:15
  So you're edging me out there. But it's not a battle you wanna
• 44:18
  win. I don't think there's.
• 44:21
  Let's see over the last month. I copy.
• 44:23
  It can't be worse than 700. No, it can't be worse than that
• 44:26
  because like players can't have a negative impact on your team
• 44:29
  like goalies can't when they play.
• 44:32
  But no, I mean it's. It's 16, literally double
• 44:36
  double. Obviously we're looking rest
• 44:40
  this season. You're a team that is pretty
• 44:42
  solid at skaters and just having like has no goalies and.
• 44:46
  But tempers been doodoo. I can see like I don't need him.
• 44:48
  I need to make the playoffs for him to be worth it.
• 44:51
  I can trade for Kemper and not make the playoffs.
• 44:53
  LA has the easiest strength of schedule, like third easiest
• 44:55
  season. Anyways, whatever getting such a
• 44:57
  tangent. You're so wrong.
• 45:00
  Yeah, honestly, I definitely need to type that.
• 45:03
  Like, we'll talk about it more off the pod, but like, I think
• 45:06
  you're this is like you saying that Josh Norris is better than
• 45:08
  McDavid. Like you're so blind.
• 45:09
  You're bias is crazy. Those are those are crazy quote.
• 45:13
  Yeah, Let's go to the next slide.
• 45:17
  Isn't actually. That was not actually said just
• 45:19
  to be. Clear, Thank you.
• 45:21
  That vibe though, it was a couple of weeks of Kevin being
• 45:24
  like Josh Norris is the best player of all time and I was.
• 45:26
  Every .9 points per game on the season.
• 45:30
  Played only five games this season.
• 45:34
  Oh my God. OK, let's go to Carolina.
• 45:37
  We've got Sebastian Aho, Seth Jarvis, Andre Svechnikov, Shane
• 45:40
  Gostisbehere. I don't know if there's anyone
• 45:42
  else on Jordan's interested in that's it.
• 45:44
  I don't think I've taken Jordan stall.
• 45:46
  I'm not taking Nikki healers. I've been so low on him all
• 45:48
  year. And I just think especially with
• 45:50
  Carolina kind of shopping for another offensive police, I
• 45:53
  think Euler's is spot on. Power play 1 is even less.
• 45:56
  Like I think it's already not. He's already replaced by Jordan
• 45:59
  stall, right? Like if getting replaced by
• 46:00
  Jordan stall, you're not making power play one for a consistent
• 46:02
  period of time. So for me it's really these four
• 46:04
  guys, um, who's the biggest bylo of, I mean, they've all been
• 46:07
  pretty good, right? I don't think any of them
• 46:09
  necessarily a buy low. Knowing my luck, Vincent
• 46:11
  Trocheck can see traded to Carolina.
• 46:12
  That is gonna be P2. Under Jordan style, yeah.
• 46:15
  Exactly, but the coach said that they want stall there because
• 46:19
  the face off for the face off. And honestly, you've seen the
• 46:21
  Carolina probably be better since he's been on there.
• 46:23
  So like for once, Rod actually made a good move.
• 46:26
  It's just the worst fantasy move ever.
• 46:27
  But, and I love acquiring all who I love acquiring Jarvis
• 46:31
  Fetch, I think Sketch, you know, early season if you held diamond
• 46:34
  hands that you're in the haystack as we speak.
• 46:37
  So yeah, he's been seriously great the whole year.
• 46:43
  I mean, all these guys have been seriously great.
• 46:45
  They've all gone through slumps. It feels like Aho.
• 46:47
  I feel like at certain point he was a drop.
• 46:48
  People were dropping him too. But just crazy, right?
• 46:50
  It's Sebastian Aho. And then he just bounces back
• 46:53
  like, yeah, yeah, exactly. Nobody remembers that he was dog
• 46:58
  awful for so long, but. Yeah, Yeah.
• 47:01
  So I think these are, I think these are all kind of hard to
• 47:03
  acquire right now. Yeah.
• 47:04
  And it's also like they're just not a good team to trade for
• 47:07
  because it's so you never know. Volatile and crazy, yeah.
• 47:10
  Yeah, this is more. Just like our guys are safe, but
• 47:13
  you never know. Yeah, I think the big
• 47:15
  recommendation here is more just don't necessarily trade away
• 47:19
  because their playoff schedule is good.
• 47:21
  That's like the way I'm seeing it.
• 47:22
  Unless we're getting an even better one in return, but yeah,
• 47:25
  yeah. Would you, would you trade?
• 47:27
  Would you trade a Seth Jarvis for for like a Mikasa manager?
• 47:33
  You asking me because I have? Jars, yes, Jarvis, but I'm also
• 47:37
  I'm asking both of you. That's tough.
• 47:38
  I think Jarvis is a better player than Savannah.
• 47:41
  Business manager has been insane.
• 47:42
  Yeah, so like with. The difference, you know.
• 47:46
  Yeah, honestly, with the schedule difference of just one
• 47:47
  game, I'm just going with the better player.
• 47:49
  Like in that case like from an 11 to.
• 47:51
  All the off nights. The office is fairly, I mean
• 47:53
  honestly you probably have to take advantage of which is how
• 47:57
  seen by Felix managers such as Cell High right now.
• 47:59
  Yeah, but he's going to come down to earth and be a driver's
• 48:02
  level type of thing. That's fair.
• 48:04
  Yeah. So I feel like you gotta take
• 48:05
  zip at this point, which is crazy.
• 48:06
  I'd still rather Jarvis, if that makes sense.
• 48:09
  What one for one? I'm happy doing that, but I
• 48:11
  think that you'll have to give plus and I wouldn't give plus.
• 48:14
  Yeah. That's fair.
• 48:14
  That's fair. Yeah, OK, let's go to some less
• 48:18
  exciting good playoff schedule teams.
• 48:20
  We've got Philly. I put Travis Konecny, Trevor
• 48:23
  Zegers and Owen Tippett. I don't think there's anyone
• 48:26
  else really. Is there anyone else worth
• 48:28
  rostering on my? Gov.
• 48:31
  Just like every day I'm reading articles, I'm reading articles
• 48:35
  about the coach or the GM, especially being like he is so
• 48:38
  out of shape this like how This is why.
• 48:41
  OK, Remember I sent you guys that that text about the biggest
• 48:43
  all you can eat like buffet in the US.
• 48:45
  So I saw someone comment on one of these like posts about like
• 48:48
  the GM being like, Oh yeah. I just don't think Mitch like
• 48:50
  can get there. Like, you know, how like out of
• 48:52
  shape us to come and trade in cap.
• 48:53
  And someone commented like, did this guy spent the entire
• 48:55
  offseason at Shady Maple? You know, how does how does like
• 49:01
  someone how, how does shape is this guy that he's getting
• 49:04
  nonstop comments like, I don't know, it's crazy, right?
• 49:07
  There's like a professional like top five pick like.
• 49:09
  Like the GM had to step in and be like, we're not trading made
• 49:12
  Michael. Yeah, but he also is out of
• 49:15
  shape. And he, it's crazy.
• 49:19
  Like I saw like there was a comment someone was like, yeah,
• 49:21
  you know, like he came in and like, he was so out of shape.
• 49:23
  We got, we put him on like a strict diet.
• 49:25
  He lost like 20 lbs, but then he lost a bunch of muscles and now
• 49:27
  he's like, you know, can't like be as strong as he was,
• 49:29
  whatever. And it's just like, damn.
• 49:31
  Like what happens? Like in the offseason, Like what
• 49:33
  was this guy? Don't got shady Maple and Russia
• 49:35
  that's. Yeah, that's what it seems like.
• 49:38
  But yeah, so definitely not interested in a choir.
• 49:41
  I mean, I I looked like when I see a guy like that with a good
• 49:43
  playoff schedule who has that pedigree and is just playing so
• 49:46
  poorly, I definitely do my due diligence.
• 49:48
  I want like, is there any chance of turning it around?
• 49:50
  And obviously there is, you know, like I can't say like
• 49:52
  there's no chance. I'm just not like necessarily
• 49:56
  trying to buy him. You know, I don't think it's
• 49:58
  like that high that deployment. This is like Tortorella 2.0.
• 50:01
  Like talk it, you know, like Tortorella is gone and then oh,
• 50:03
  target is just the same, you know, so so there's just like if
• 50:06
  he had the deployment but was playing, I'd be way more
• 50:09
  interested. But with that line 3 power play
• 50:11
  2 like 12 minutes a night. It's just it's too much of AA
• 50:15
  wrist to like try and trade for him.
• 50:17
  Like any anything of value really.
• 50:19
  What about the domain guy that we talked about?
• 50:21
  I think Connect Me is a beast. I mean, I traded him away and
• 50:25
  then he went last week. I played against him and he went
• 50:27
  on a tear. He got like. 3 for a while he's
• 50:30
  been like, yeah, I think he's too, too high right now to
• 50:33
  acquire at a fair price. I think this is a great buy low.
• 50:38
  He's been pretty slow lately and he's pretty much the second most
• 50:41
  valuable guy on this team after connecting.
• 50:43
  And then I tossed in Tippett. That's more for bangers leagues.
• 50:46
  His shots have actually been unreal and he's the kind of guy
• 50:48
  who will go like 4 games out of point and then he'll get a hat
• 50:50
  trick or something like that. So you just hope that that you
• 50:53
  know, Patrick comes during the playoffs, you know, like when
• 50:56
  you need it most. But I still like acquiring him
• 50:58
  for for a cheap price. I think you could buy both
• 51:01
  Tippit and Zageris. I think they're both attainable
• 51:05
  for sure. I mean they're like tip it's
• 51:07
  only 40% owned. You may you may be able to pick
• 51:10
  him up. And sound like a Charlie Coil
• 51:11
  type of thing has been really hot.
• 51:13
  I love that I definitely tip it over coil.
• 51:15
  Yeah. What about this?
• 51:16
  I think these Seattle guys too, like we're obviously Seattle is
• 51:18
  in the $8 sign dollar sign tier for schedule wise.
• 51:21
  They only got 333. You could send like a Jared
• 51:23
  McCann or Mattie veneers and potentially acquire like a tip
• 51:26
  or zebras and I would love to do that.
• 51:28
  I would do McCann for Zagreus and I would do veneers for
• 51:31
  tippet. That's you wouldn't do McCann
• 51:33
  for Tibet. I don't know.
• 51:35
  Do they make good? I've had the points differences
• 51:38
  is pretty high. I think McKenna bangers is
• 51:41
  scary. I I get it, like I get where
• 51:43
  you're coming from. I don't think that's a bad take
• 51:45
  by any means, but McCanns good like McCann could be really good
• 51:48
  and he's really reliable. I think that might be in the
• 51:51
  category of over over taking an L for the playoff schedule.
• 51:55
  Yeah, I think I would leave McCann out of those, but I'm
• 51:58
  happy. I think that's a fair.
• 52:01
  Will do. Really.
• 52:03
  That's something. That I would I would I would
• 52:04
  definitely do because I mean, like Mccants just playing like
• 52:07
  on a really hot streak right now, you know, but I think he's
• 52:09
  a good player, but injuries slash Seattle just not having
• 52:13
  off the wall powerhouse. Yeah, or no off nights.
• 52:15
  Philly has four off nights over the stretch of those three
• 52:17
  weeks. I just feel like I'm definitely
• 52:19
  more value. Then yeah, I'm apprehensive, but
• 52:23
  I get it. Like the formula makes sense,
• 52:26
  the thought process is there, so.
• 52:28
  Yeah, All right, moving to Chicago, a team that only has
• 52:33
  one player worth treating for in high opinion, and that is Connor
• 52:37
  Bedard. Is there any other player, like
• 52:39
  there's other guys you could pick up, but like I'm not
• 52:40
  trading for like a Tyler Bertuzzi, you know, who is
• 52:42
  probably like the second best guy like and anyone else on that
• 52:45
  team you could pick up, right. You're not trading for any of
• 52:47
  them. So it's really just dark, but I
• 52:48
  really, really want Bedard. I'm not going to get him because
• 52:51
  the the guy in our league in like second place and he has no
• 52:53
  reason to to. Trade Panera.
• 52:55
  Plus they got rejected. Oh my God, OK, no wonder none of
• 52:58
  my trees get accepted. You more than me and those get
• 53:00
  rejected so like. I'm just honestly, I'm, I, I, I
• 53:04
  had like 5 offers pending and I was very confident that all five
• 53:07
  of these offers would be like these could be, could be like
• 53:10
  the guy could see and accept it right away.
• 53:12
  All got rejected. That's crazy.
• 53:14
  One the last one, I had one left this morning and it got rejected
• 53:17
  like 10 minutes ago. So yeah, I tried to trade three
• 53:22
  offers pending, but it's all the inactive people, so.
• 53:24
  I sent that. Maybe I'm crazy, but I was
• 53:27
  getting desperate, guys. I was getting desperate.
• 53:28
  I, I send now that it's now that it's out there.
• 53:31
  I sent Panarin, Jasper Brat and William Eckland for Maddie
• 53:36
  Ketchup and Morgan Geekie. The guys outside of a playoff
• 53:39
  spot too got rejected. That's crazy.
• 53:42
  Yeah, that's tough. That's crazy.
• 53:44
  Ohhhhh yeah, yeah, a Bedard trade that I sent this is yeah.
• 53:48
  This is the guys are sending way better offers than me.
• 53:50
  I'm sending garbage. I should just.
• 53:51
  Cancel my offers on this. I tried to trade, and I actually
• 53:54
  think that this is something that could get done in other
• 53:56
  leagues. I tried to trade Forsberg and
• 53:59
  Sergachev for Bedard and Schaefer wasn't bad, and that's
• 54:03
  something. That's not bad playoff if you if
• 54:05
  you if you cut out Schaefer and you put somebody else, I mean,
• 54:07
  you can get that done. Yeah, we still wanna do that
• 54:10
  because one of, you know, Nashville and Utah don't want
• 54:12
  them on your playoff teams. Would you do the two for one?
• 54:15
  Honestly, you should do I. I know his team replaced
• 54:18
  Schaefer with Lozon to make up for the bad catch.
• 54:20
  You lose all Forsberg and that's a nice trade.
• 54:22
  That's a nice two for two. That could be fun.
• 54:25
  Maybe I'll. Think you guys sending such
• 54:27
  better offers than me because I don't have any.
• 54:31
  I've all the most elite guys but no one wants.
• 54:33
  To like temper. No one wants to like trade for
• 54:38
  my elite guys because I'm not willing to pay the price.
• 54:40
  But then no one else I have really has value.
• 54:41
  So it's it's. It's a tough place to be at
• 54:44
  anyways. My child was going dumpster
• 54:48
  diving so I had to stop. Yeah.
• 54:51
  Yeah, so for Chicago's the only guy, he's a bit of a bi lo, we
• 54:54
  talked about him, right? Like he, he like, I mean, he's
• 54:57
  starting to pick it up. But like the interesting thing
• 54:59
  with the Olympic break is that everyone's stats freeze for
• 55:03
  three weeks, right? So if someone is a biology going
• 55:07
  into the Olympic break, they're a buy low for like 2 weeks,
• 55:09
  right? You don't have to worry about
• 55:10
  them turning around, even though I know they're going to when
• 55:12
  they come back. So that's two weeks to try and
• 55:13
  send offers for a lot of these guys.
• 55:16
  Well, that's that's getting better.
• 55:18
  I mean, I also think like if you're on Yahoo as a platform,
• 55:20
  like a lot of these filters are last 30 day average, last 14 day
• 55:24
  average. At a certain point, the last 30
• 55:26
  days are gonna be like 3 games prior to the Olympic break,
• 55:30
  right? So the stats will get severely
• 55:32
  influenced and you can maybe take advantage of that when the
• 55:35
  time comes. Yeah, I love that.
• 55:37
  Alright, so let's go to the next one.
• 55:39
  Dallas. A lot more interesting players
• 55:41
  than Chicago eco ranting and Jason Robertson wanted Johnston
• 55:45
  Roope Hintz mirror. He's getting pretty much just
• 55:47
  the entire power play 1 unit. I think the biggest buy low here
• 55:51
  is Wyatt Johnston. He's actually been like .83
• 55:55
  points per game over the past month point like 75 over the
• 55:57
  past two weeks. So I love that as by Lowe's
• 56:00
  still, I think he's leading the league in power play goals.
• 56:02
  So it's definitely a very valuable player to have.
• 56:05
  So if you can get him for a decent price, I love that all
• 56:09
  the other guys are kind of harder to buy.
• 56:11
  I think, I mean, hence is acquirable for sure, even though
• 56:13
  he's been playing well, it's not a below, but he's just
• 56:15
  attainable. Ranton and Robertson I think are
• 56:18
  just really hard. You'll have to give a really
• 56:20
  strong piece for those that. Was a slight by low for a little
• 56:23
  bit when he came. Back yeah, he had like one game
• 56:25
  with that without a point, like his first game back and now he's
• 56:27
  had a point in every single game since.
• 56:29
  So it's definitely tough to to buy him.
• 56:33
  But I mean, would you trade capris Offer Antonin?
• 56:36
  I think I'd rather Caprice off. Me too.
• 56:39
  I think so too. So that's kind of like it's, I
• 56:41
  mean, it's good to like. Do it was the first round pick
• 56:44
  in some leagues. Yeah, yeah.
• 56:46
  And I mean, really, she's ranked higher than yeah.
• 56:48
  It's the shots. He's able to get more points.
• 56:52
  PowerPoints probably similar because Dallas has a really good
• 56:54
  power play as well. Pimm's for ranting and he's got
• 56:58
  those for some reason this year. It's a huge pimp guy.
• 57:00
  But yeah, no. So that's like for two extra
• 57:02
  games, you'd rather just take the the capris off.
• 57:04
  Like you can actually like .3 points honestly over and over as
• 57:08
  an. Inside shots would be a huge
• 57:09
  difference. Though the shots is massive yeah
• 57:11
  like you can like rats in it could be like a 1.51.8 whereas
• 57:14
  if could be close to a four. So that's that's a huge one.
• 57:17
  Yeah, I think we're just gonna keep going through this gonna
• 57:19
  keep throwing stuff out there right to keep being like is this
• 57:21
  an overpay or like for good playoff schedule or is it.
• 57:24
  So who would you trade? What's a nine game guide?
• 57:28
  What do you trade in Matthews for Antonin?
• 57:31
  I would not because we have face offs.
• 57:34
  That's a big part of it I have. Thought I'll do the shots
• 57:37
  probably are the same kind of Bodas Kaprizov too, but the
• 57:40
  point but the power play and the points.
• 57:41
  Are points, yeah. I think taking out face off wins
• 57:45
  from it. I think I'm taking Ranin.
• 57:48
  Yeah, I don't I don't I don't. I mean, like, look, I I hate I
• 57:51
  hate guys who don't shoot, you know, especially the guys you're
• 57:54
  like, how are you getting all these points?
• 57:55
  You don't shoot, you know, but I think I think the points and
• 57:58
  power play points in the playoff schedule is gonna and Pimms and
• 58:01
  whatever is gonna be in residence favor.
• 58:03
  But that's a close one. That's a closer one than the
• 58:05
  price on trying to find kind of like the line of least like.
• 58:08
  What about Nylander then? Yeah, 100.
• 58:11
  Percent, you're taking action for sure, yeah.
• 58:13
  Yeah, that that I feel better about.
• 58:14
  Yeah. OK, there we go.
• 58:15
  We found one. Yeah.
• 58:17
  It's kind of like a Zibanejad for Robertson.
• 58:21
  So you're kind of like down grading your playoff schedule
• 58:23
  there? You.
• 58:24
  Think I'm getting a better player?
• 58:26
  I would do that. Just sending Robertson's better
• 58:29
  than Savannah Chad and it's just one game difference.
• 58:31
  Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I, I, I think, I, I
• 58:34
  think that the Rangers are, are definitely out of it, but like
• 58:37
  their fantasy players have been producing like you said, so.
• 58:40
  But you just said you'd rather Jarvis over like you'd rather
• 58:44
  drivers over Zib. What?
• 58:47
  No, I. Didn't say that.
• 58:48
  No, he said in a one for one, I would take sabotage out, but
• 58:51
  then I I wouldn't add a plus, you know what I mean?
• 58:54
  Yeah, so I think I'd also like the manager.
• 58:56
  It's close. Maybe Roberts in a bit.
• 58:57
  But they have any interest. Do you have any interest in the
• 59:00
  non five guys I listed here, like a Matt Duchene who's been
• 59:03
  on fire or Jamie Benn, a Thomas Harley?
• 59:06
  Been decent actually, but that's.
• 59:08
  Like 12 minutes a night and. He's like, yeah, So those ones
• 59:12
  he's. Also 6% right, which is?
• 59:16
  You can stream, you know, like for those like good like
• 59:18
  schedule, but a guy like Dushane or Harley who was like playing
• 59:21
  really well right now but not in power play one like I would not
• 59:24
  pay the price that they would ask for just to get more like a
• 59:28
  good schedule. March Madness, Yours.
• 59:29
  While I love Wire Johnson. Yeah, I think he's the best.
• 59:34
  Bilo from you, Yeah. Yeah, it's not really a Bilo
• 59:37
  anymore. He's been on it, yeah.
• 59:39
  Yeah, why? It's been like really not good.
• 59:41
  And I think he could have like a monstrous bounce, bounce back.
• 59:44
  He's been good on the season, but it's just been the last
• 59:47
  month he's been super cold. So I think that it's one of
• 59:49
  those things that you can easily convince the person with Wyatt
• 59:53
  like to move away from him. You know, they got too many
• 59:55
  mouths to feed. They're a good team.
• 59:56
  But Rance performing why is and why it performing alongside him
• 1:00:00
  like this is not So then there's a lot of reasons why the Wyatt
• 1:00:03
  owner may be frustrated and you can trade for it and you'd be.
• 1:00:06
  Really, Hay? Do you guys have any worry that
• 1:00:09
  Dallas acquires someone who bumps one of these guys off
• 1:00:12
  power Play 1? And if so, who do you think
• 1:00:14
  would get bumped? Or you're just not.
• 1:00:17
  Right at all. If they had to bump anybody, I
• 1:00:19
  think they're bumping Rupe. Who takes the faceoffs then?
• 1:00:23
  John, I think Johnson could take face offs or were.
• 1:00:26
  They already traded for ransom into perfectly capable.
• 1:00:30
  There's a world where they were they trade for like a quadri or
• 1:00:33
  something. Like I think Kadri would slot it
• 1:00:35
  over Rupa really. It'd be close.
• 1:00:39
  I think they're trading for him. Yeah, something to keep an eye
• 1:00:42
  out on, but. This team is so stacked on
• 1:00:45
  offence, like I don't even know what they like, who they're.
• 1:00:47
  Yeah, So, yeah. All right, let's go to the next
• 1:00:50
  one. Here's another one with the
• 1:00:51
  embarrassment of riches. We've got the Florida Panthers,
• 1:00:54
  Matthew Kuchuk, Sam Reinhart, Sam Bennett, Seth Jones, Anton
• 1:00:57
  Lindell. That's kind of what I expect the
• 1:00:59
  the power play 1 unit to look like when when everyones
• 1:01:01
  healthy. If Seth Jones ever comes back, I
• 1:01:03
  mean, there's been no news about him.
• 1:01:05
  I have him on my team. I'm I'm banking on, I'm hoping
• 1:01:07
  he comes back, you know, after the break.
• 1:01:08
  But last thing I heard was Paul Morris said like jokingly, like
• 1:01:14
  he'll be back earliest like Feb 26th or something, which is like
• 1:01:17
  the day the Olympic break ends, you know, So like that's not
• 1:01:20
  really an answer. At least we know that like, he's
• 1:01:22
  still alive, you know? Yeah, I think so.
• 1:01:24
  Jones is definitely the most attainable right now with like
• 1:01:27
  how long he's been out and the like, kind of like question mark
• 1:01:30
  around his injury. And I think that's a great buy.
• 1:01:33
  I think that he can be a like really good like for your for
• 1:01:36
  your playoffs, assuming he comes back.
• 1:01:38
  But I'm hoping he's back by then.
• 1:01:41
  Pretty solid since coming back, so I don't necessarily buy low.
• 1:01:43
  Reinhart's been solid, but it's been great.
• 1:01:45
  Lundell came back for one game from injury, had the most DC
• 1:01:48
  stat line. It was absolutely disgusting.
• 1:01:50
  I think he in our league, I think he touched every single of
• 1:01:53
  the 10 categories. You got a Shorty as well?
• 1:01:55
  Yeah, I was looking at the Reinhart got me Shorty.
• 1:01:58
  Yeah, I think it was like a goal to assists 3 points like 2 Pimms
• 1:02:04
  30A powerfully point like two shots, 12 face off wins.
• 1:02:06
  I hit in the blossoms like ridiculous like that.
• 1:02:09
  It was it was crazy. So yeah, I don't think you're
• 1:02:10
  buying low on Lindell, but I really like him.
• 1:02:12
  But again, seemed questions with Dallas.
• 1:02:14
  Are you guys scared that they acquire someone and that it
• 1:02:17
  bumps 1 Firefly? I mean, also I forgot to include
• 1:02:19
  here Brad Marshall, you know, like where does he slot into the
• 1:02:21
  power play? Who gets bumped off?
• 1:02:23
  What do you guys, especially guys, picture power play one
• 1:02:25
  looking like when it's full, when the team is fully healthy?
• 1:02:27
  Marsh Overlander. I think it's probably 1.
• 1:02:30
  OK. Yeah, I think that's kind of
• 1:02:32
  what it's been before when he was healthy.
• 1:02:34
  Is Marshall ever gonna be healthy?
• 1:02:35
  Not like he's playing the Olympics.
• 1:02:36
  So we're gonna see very soon if he's actually going to go or
• 1:02:39
  not. But Marshall's been one of those
• 1:02:41
  guys, like in the same boat as milk, and it feels like you were
• 1:02:43
  just kind of trade them right now because he's super good.
• 1:02:47
  And then he's been just kind of hovering around point game the
• 1:02:49
  whole season. So I'm way more content than
• 1:02:52
  Marshawn keeps it up, than Malkin keeps it up, if that was
• 1:02:55
  a question. Yeah, I'm putting more stock
• 1:02:58
  into Brent Marshall as of late just because I think he's hurt
• 1:03:00
  and I'd like to acquire, honestly.
• 1:03:03
  Um, and I do think this Florida power play, I think Florida
• 1:03:07
  finishes the year strong. They're not in a playoff spot as
• 1:03:09
  we speak, like they need to get their.
• 1:03:10
  Leave together. I I still think to make the
• 1:03:14
  playoffs, but I think it's really tough.
• 1:03:16
  Like I saw that they had to finish the season like 26 and
• 1:03:18
  one to make the playoffs, which feels impossible for any team,
• 1:03:21
  right? So not 26 and 1:26 and 1:00,
• 1:03:25
  right? OK, 61.
• 1:03:27
  OK, their level of difficulty, yeah.
• 1:03:31
  That's a little more feasible, but still not very.
• 1:03:34
  Yeah, it's so crazy. They might be one of those that
• 1:03:36
  missed the playoffs by two points or something.
• 1:03:38
  So yeah, I could see that, yeah, just crazy for the back-to-back
• 1:03:40
  champs. But that's what happens when you
• 1:03:42
  lose your best player for the. Season.
• 1:03:43
  This doesn't actually mean anything, but Paul Morris said
• 1:03:45
  Lindell is gonna be the next captain of the Panthers, so that
• 1:03:47
  was a pretty cool endorsement. So what I yeah, it was a pretty
• 1:03:52
  hype. Barcode like what did you say
• 1:03:56
  really? Yeah, probably because he's old.
• 1:04:00
  I think, I think Lundell would get bumped off of Marshall comes
• 1:04:03
  back totally agree. But if you if if Jones is not
• 1:04:07
  healthy, I also think that they may just do A5 forward and bump
• 1:04:09
  bump off you this Bolinsky not. Uvis has been so good.
• 1:04:15
  Yeah, I don't know do. You guys have any interest in
• 1:04:17
  like grabbing Uvis in the hope that Jones doesn't come back?
• 1:04:20
  No, I think he's just a stream. Yeah.
• 1:04:23
  Yeah, and I will say out of all these guys I also like, I still
• 1:04:26
  like acquiring Matthew could Chuck because yeah, he's come
• 1:04:28
  back and he's fine, but he's only been like .8 points per
• 1:04:30
  game. I still think he's.
• 1:04:32
  OK. I mean, he's played so many
• 1:04:35
  little, so little games that like, I think one point changes
• 1:04:37
  everything. So much for sure.
• 1:04:39
  But I don't think he's hit his ceiling yet, so I think you can
• 1:04:41
  still acquire him less like I tried to.
• 1:04:43
  I tried to send Panarin plus so did not work out, but maybe a
• 1:04:47
  lot more luck than me. Yeah, alright, let's go to the
• 1:04:51
  next one. Ottawa.
• 1:04:52
  Big big name. All my guys are.
• 1:04:54
  For Kevin, yeah, yeah. Brady Kuchuk, Tim Stutzel, Jake
• 1:04:57
  Sanderson, Drake Batherson, Dylan Cousins.
• 1:05:00
  I think that's the one. I think you just want that power
• 1:05:02
  play 1 unit, right? There's not really anyone else
• 1:05:04
  that like, you can stream if you want, like a Pinto or like a
• 1:05:07
  Greek or something like that, but like, you're not really
• 1:05:10
  gonna trade any of those guys. Yeah, the GOAT, obviously.
• 1:05:14
  My bad. For getting that before.
• 1:05:18
  It's like, but I think Batherson we we highlighted him as a below
• 1:05:23
  either on her last or two by low episodes ago.
• 1:05:25
  I'm still a buy low. Still the perfect throw in in
• 1:05:27
  every trade. What else?
• 1:05:31
  What the other guy? I mean Sanderson been a point
• 1:05:32
  for games. It's hard to buy low on him.
• 1:05:34
  Really like him. Stutzel has been unreal.
• 1:05:35
  Contracts been unreal because it's been.
• 1:05:37
  Unreal. Yeah.
• 1:05:39
  So it's hard to buy any of these guys other than Batherson.
• 1:05:43
  So I mean. It's a bar.
• 1:05:45
  I think you can, yeah. Like we speak a lot about how
• 1:05:48
  great Cousins is because Kevin loves Cousins and we acknowledge
• 1:05:51
  that he's a super good player. But I also just feel like the
• 1:05:53
  points have been men that he can bounce back in.
• 1:05:57
  That category over the last month.
• 1:06:00
  That's viable though. That's really good.
• 1:06:02
  But he's a .4 power play points and then 2.5 shots.
• 1:06:07
  And I'm not saying I'm just saying he's.
• 1:06:09
  Viable. OK.
• 1:06:11
  I think he's giving you exactly what you've been wanting from
• 1:06:15
  him, right? Like he's not giving you any
• 1:06:17
  less, not giving you anymore. It's just exactly, I mean, the
• 1:06:19
  point more points than you expected, to be honest.
• 1:06:21
  Yeah, more really, I think. I feel like I was expecting like
• 1:06:25
  point 7.35 PowerPoints. I'm getting point 8.4 PowerPoint
• 1:06:29
  points. You don't think you get like
• 1:06:31
  expect like a bit better with the points.
• 1:06:33
  I don't know. I think it's possible, but hey,
• 1:06:35
  it's a if he does that thing, just just icing on the cake to
• 1:06:38
  be that's it though, like like so Josh, you do think that's
• 1:06:41
  viable? I think.
• 1:06:42
  I think. Everybody's.
• 1:06:43
  Liable, but yeah, I mean, I think you'll have to pay for
• 1:06:46
  him, but it's not like Sanderson, Chuck, I just don't
• 1:06:49
  think are attainable unless it's like a ridiculous price.
• 1:06:52
  I think Cousins is not in the same tier as them, even though
• 1:06:54
  like for where you draft him out like he's amazing.
• 1:06:56
  Like you're not saying he's not, he's not great, but like I think
• 1:06:59
  you can attain. But really the top one is
• 1:07:01
  bathroom because he's the only one who hasn't been kind of
• 1:07:03
  insane lately. So I think that.
• 1:07:06
  He would you rather rest of season Dillon in the bangers
• 1:07:08
  league, Dylan Cousins or Brock Nelson.
• 1:07:11
  I would rather cousins. Me too, me too, me too.
• 1:07:14
  Yeah. Me too and all that.
• 1:07:19
  Cousins or hints? Yeah, I'm taking Cousins.
• 1:07:21
  Yeah, You know, Ottawa would have won.
• 1:07:24
  Like, I think it's like, yeah, basically the crux of it is like
• 1:07:29
  there's like this, if they got above an 890 save percentage, I
• 1:07:32
  think they won almost every single game.
• 1:07:34
  So once you always figure it out, they're gonna be nuts
• 1:07:37
  because even scoring a lot so. For sure it's a bit a bit late
• 1:07:41
  though to to try and turn it around, but there's still time.
• 1:07:45
  Let's get into this team's there.
• 1:07:47
  Have your boys, everyone's favorite, the Montreal
• 1:07:49
  Canadiens. We've got Nick Suzuki, Cole
• 1:07:51
  Caufield, Lane Hudson, You're Islip Kowski, Ivan Demidov.
• 1:07:56
  Maybe you can toss in Noah Dobson also.
• 1:07:57
  He's been he's been pretty solid, although I don't know if
• 1:07:59
  I wanna necessarily buy for for his price, but but I like him.
• 1:08:03
  Is there anyone else, Oliver, Captain for Jake's sake,
• 1:08:06
  Patrick. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:08:09
  No, it's pretty much these five guys.
• 1:08:12
  But I think that a lot of these guys are just way too hot right
• 1:08:15
  now to acquire for a decent price.
• 1:08:18
  I mean the most attainable is Demidov, but like even he's been
• 1:08:23
  creating. Yeah.
• 1:08:24
  Is it crazy that I don't want to acquire Dimitrov?
• 1:08:27
  I just really love everybody. He's like the one that I don't
• 1:08:29
  wanna pay up for cause I think he's at least sustainable.
• 1:08:32
  For sure, I mean he's a rookie and like he's also he's probably
• 1:08:34
  1 spots not unlock. Yeah, somebody in the discord
• 1:08:38
  literally yesterday night traded, um, Philip Forsberg for
• 1:08:44
  cold coffee, one for one. Yeah, I saw that.
• 1:08:47
  That is a very spicy one. I'll just say.
• 1:08:48
  That's like gut reaction. I'm like, no, you know, like
• 1:08:52
  don't do that. But like Cavill been nuts.
• 1:08:54
  Yep, it's tough. I think like the the back has a
• 1:08:58
  Forsberg are just so, so great. I don't think I would have done
• 1:09:02
  that. Hmm, I think that, but like it
• 1:09:05
  type thing where like I don't think I wouldn't do that.
• 1:09:08
  But if you told me that rest of season that trade works out for
• 1:09:10
  them, I wouldn't be shocked if that makes sense.
• 1:09:13
  Somebody traded. I wanna hear your take on this.
• 1:09:16
  I I told them it was a it was a bad trade, but they traded
• 1:09:20
  Austin Matthews for Nick Suzuki. Yeah, no, I wouldn't do that.
• 1:09:25
  If you look at the numbers, Nick Suzuki has been significantly
• 1:09:27
  better. I mean, obviously. .6 points per
• 1:09:30
  game. Way more.
• 1:09:30
  Than one 6.6 power play points over the last like month .2.
• 1:09:36
  Yeah, yeah. Look, I don't think it's going
• 1:09:39
  to be a season ending trade. Yeah, that's what I said.
• 1:09:42
  But. But like and and like you get
• 1:09:44
  those two, you get those two extra games in the playoffs.
• 1:09:46
  So it's not like I'm still it's still Matthews who's like a top
• 1:09:49
  a first round pick where Suzuki is like he's putting himself in
• 1:09:51
  the argument As for like a second round pick.
• 1:09:53
  Yeah, like, so yeah, that's it. That's why it's not like a
• 1:09:56
  season breaking trade. I'd still rather Matthews
• 1:09:58
  though. He'll get more points, though.
• 1:09:59
  Suzuki. That's not even a hot take.
• 1:10:02
  Yeah. You think he gets more points
• 1:10:03
  than I don't think you're mad about this trade.
• 1:10:05
  I think the only thing. That's why I don't think it's a
• 1:10:08
  huge L at all. I just think that, you know,
• 1:10:11
  Suzuki's been absolutely on fire, and I think that the
• 1:10:13
  points may cool down. Matthews could.
• 1:10:16
  Matthews will hover on one and Suzuki will be about like A115I.
• 1:10:20
  Think Matthews is ceiling is so much higher.
• 1:10:22
  For Shaw, but Shaw is lower. But yeah, like I just think like
• 1:10:28
  especially in like a cat's bangers cats league, he's just
• 1:10:30
  like an all around player, right?
• 1:10:32
  First of all, like he should be more elite at points.
• 1:10:34
  He's just having a bit of a down year.
• 1:10:35
  I mean still over point for game PowerPoint power play has been
• 1:10:38
  garbage this year. But like it should be better.
• 1:10:40
  Shots are elite, face off wins are elite, blocks are elite.
• 1:10:43
  Like for a forward. So it's no.
• 1:10:45
  I mean, it's an interesting one for.
• 1:10:46
  Sure, you could maybe trade Matthews for Suzuki.
• 1:10:48
  Plus Jake. Jake.
• 1:10:49
  He's got awesome Matthews. Better player, better playoff
• 1:10:52
  schedule. We're in a way with a lot of
• 1:10:55
  Habs fans. So that's that's the tough part
• 1:10:57
  there. But like it's I actually, the
• 1:11:00
  one thing I will say is I think Demidov could come back and be
• 1:11:04
  even better than he's been. I know that that's a Homer thing
• 1:11:07
  to say and I'm not trying to be contrarian.
• 1:11:09
  Obviously it makes sense where you're coming from Kevin,
• 1:11:11
  because it's really points and nothing else.
• 1:11:13
  So for. Banks.
• 1:11:13
  That's why I feel it's a little bit more 1 dimensional.
• 1:11:15
  Yeah, but I think that he's been so good.
• 1:11:19
  He has so much like he's on a line with Slope who they're
• 1:11:23
  really getting the best out of each other.
• 1:11:24
  And I actually think like in a very deeply captain and as a
• 1:11:27
  whole, even though I was close to dropping him a few times, but
• 1:11:31
  if he's playing between those guys, I'm not unhappy like way
• 1:11:33
  rather a cap and then like a Kirby doc who's playing with
• 1:11:36
  Suzuki in Caulfield. Yeah, and now it's just one of
• 1:11:39
  those weeks. Yeah, I'm just saying.
• 1:11:41
  For the. Streams, but it's more just like
• 1:11:43
  to the point of them at all I think he can be really, really
• 1:11:45
  good for. There's always that kind of like
• 1:11:48
  magic of end of season for young guys, right?
• 1:11:51
  Especially with an Olympic break to kind of get their energy back
• 1:11:53
  that in you know, you never know what can happen, especially
• 1:11:56
  because you know, also with these rookies, like they don't
• 1:11:59
  have a mean to regress to, right?
• 1:12:00
  You don't know what they're capable of.
• 1:12:02
  And and with the rest they can hit a new gear.
• 1:12:05
  So it's definitely possible. That's definitely more of a like
• 1:12:08
  lottery ticket than these other ones.
• 1:12:09
  The other ones are just on fire and they just stay on fire.
• 1:12:12
  Demidov is the most attainable for sure of the five.
• 1:12:15
  And he can either be just like pretty garbage rest this season
• 1:12:19
  for you because because he's only points and not any other
• 1:12:22
  category coverage, or he could just turn it up.
• 1:12:24
  But it's that's definitely the riskiest 1, I think.
• 1:12:26
  Do you think in our league of I send Bradford, Amanova get
• 1:12:29
  accepted? No.
• 1:12:30
  Yeah, for sure. No, you don't think so because
• 1:12:32
  we're house fans. Yes.
• 1:12:34
  We're having fans. I don't know if everybody.
• 1:12:36
  Else has fan yeah, he's a huge house on yeah, yeah.
• 1:12:39
  So I think getting rejected though.
• 1:12:41
  I think it gets accepted but maybe I don't know I feel like.
• 1:12:44
  This is first of all the other trades I've sent out that
• 1:12:46
  obviously be the one that gets accepted, right?
• 1:12:48
  Yeah. Right.
• 1:12:50
  Yeah. Yeah, I don't even know
• 1:12:52
  necessarily know if I would do it by the way.
• 1:12:53
  So if you're listening out there and you.
• 1:12:56
  Have Brad but. Me too.
• 1:12:58
  Yeah, at this point I'm like a broken record.
• 1:13:00
  Yeah. But I'm gonna be.
• 1:13:02
  In season's over, he got like eliminated prep put up straight
• 1:13:06
  zeros all week. It's like, I'd still rather.
• 1:13:08
  That's right. It'll be like 20 years from now,
• 1:13:10
  You know, I'd still rather yes for Brett.
• 1:13:12
  Exactly what it felt like. Yeah.
• 1:13:15
  Alright, let's go to the next. Kemper wins the Vezina.
• 1:13:17
  I'd still rather gasper breath, alright?
• 1:13:21
  I put up a few games over 900 that we could talk.
• 1:13:23
  That'll that would be nice, wouldn't?
• 1:13:25
  It would be nice. Alright, let's go to the next
• 1:13:28
  one. We've got the New York
• 1:13:29
  Islanders, so some interesting players there, Bo Horvat, Matt
• 1:13:33
  Barzel, Matthew Schaefer, I tossed in Emil Heinemann, still
• 1:13:35
  love him and bangers and I would definitely acquire him for a for
• 1:13:38
  a cheap price. I think the biggest bylaw is
• 1:13:40
  Horvat. I know he had two good games
• 1:13:42
  before the the break, but before that he didn't do much after
• 1:13:45
  coming back from injury and then he was injured for a ton of
• 1:13:47
  time. So I think you could still buy
• 1:13:49
  on the fact that like, you know, people might be like, oh, the
• 1:13:51
  early season was a fluke and he's back to, you know, more who
• 1:13:54
  people expected him to be going into the season.
• 1:13:57
  And I think that's a fantastic Bilo.
• 1:14:00
  And in our league, like right before bonus got hired, I think
• 1:14:04
  it was like one game under bonus, I had sent an offer of
• 1:14:09
  Echlin plus I think it was the brusque for Heineman and it got
• 1:14:12
  rejected. And Heineman was like, Horvat
• 1:14:14
  wasn't even back yet. Like he had he was putting up
• 1:14:16
  straight zeros. He had no points.
• 1:14:18
  But I knew whoever was coming back and I knew with the new
• 1:14:20
  trade, the after the trade was like, oh, I, I could really use
• 1:14:23
  another like big banger guy or whatever rejected.
• 1:14:27
  Missing something? What does bonus have to do with?
• 1:14:29
  This, yeah. Did you mean Brankov instead of
• 1:14:31
  Debrusk? Ohe yes, yes, yes, I meant
• 1:14:36
  what's? The timeline just to set the
• 1:14:38
  scene, you know, like. Like, so impressed that you knew
• 1:14:42
  that. Yeah, I did.
• 1:14:44
  You know that. That's crazy.
• 1:14:47
  Wow oh God just knows he's always looking at my keeper
• 1:14:50
  bylaws and tell lies that's why. Yeah, it's the reason, Kevin, I
• 1:14:56
  can't trade. We think too much alike in terms
• 1:14:57
  of fantasy, so that is. All frustrating.
• 1:15:01
  I can't believe it's frustrating.
• 1:15:02
  Because we're so far apart on Brett and Kemper.
• 1:15:05
  I mean I. Think the same thing.
• 1:15:07
  We just have to bluff each other so good.
• 1:15:11
  We think so much alike, but also I think we're both prone to
• 1:15:14
  being biased for our for our teams.
• 1:15:16
  Yeah, I think that happens to everyone, but I think that's
• 1:15:19
  definitely definitely fall fall victim to that a lot.
• 1:15:23
  I mean, like, yeah, maybe like a week later, maybe I'm taking
• 1:15:26
  busy over compare, you know, like who knows.
• 1:15:28
  But like quitting. I know he's too good.
• 1:15:32
  Brand that picture of him with a picture of him with a with Hank.
• 1:15:37
  And it was like there was like, yeah, because they have a
• 1:15:39
  picture of them together when like Buzzy was like 10 or
• 1:15:42
  something and then like them after the last game and and Hank
• 1:15:45
  is such a stud. Anyways, let's go to.
• 1:15:48
  Colonus. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:15:50
  Speaking of bonus, we've got the Columbus Blue Jackets, so here.
• 1:15:55
  You didn't say the biggest of the Islanders.
• 1:15:58
  Yeah. Who are you willing to trade for
• 1:16:00
  Boat right now? Because I think I would love to
• 1:16:02
  acquire Bullhorn, but he's, yeah, I think he's an
• 1:16:04
  exceptional player. Here's a good one.
• 1:16:05
  Would you do Brock Nelson for Bow Horvat?
• 1:16:08
  I would. I would.
• 1:16:10
  Yeah. That's good.
• 1:16:12
  That gets done. I think that gets done in almost
• 1:16:14
  every league. Yeah.
• 1:16:15
  So it. Was so hard.
• 1:16:17
  Ripe for Brock Nelson. Even for Horvat.
• 1:16:20
  For Horvat, yes. I'm taking Horvat, like maybe
• 1:16:23
  I'm just too high on him because I had such a good time owning
• 1:16:25
  him at the start of the year, but I think he's just fantastic.
• 1:16:28
  I think his talismanic for this Islanders team.
• 1:16:31
  I think he's a guy that averages over three shots a game to get
• 1:16:33
  you close to a point per game. I think the answer is try really
• 1:16:37
  hard to make the playoffs, even though we kind of did earlier,
• 1:16:40
  that we think they kind of fall out.
• 1:16:42
  They're just like the easiest name to pinpoint that if
• 1:16:44
  somebody overtakes them, it's gonna be under type of thing,
• 1:16:46
  right? Yeah.
• 1:16:47
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:16:49
  Names. Yeah.
• 1:16:50
  Slam dunk. Yeah.
• 1:16:51
  Easy. Yeah, Speaking of bonus.
• 1:16:54
  Speaking of bonus, the Columbus Blue Jackets.
• 1:16:56
  So you've got Zach Werenski, Kirill Marchenko and Adam
• 1:17:00
  Fantilli. I didn't include coil or
• 1:17:04
  Marchman. You know, the rest of that power
• 1:17:05
  play 1. I just don't think I want to
• 1:17:07
  acquire them in a trade. I think they're they're spots,
• 1:17:09
  not like locked in and I don't want to pay any like if I would
• 1:17:12
  pick them up, but I don't want to pay any value for them.
• 1:17:13
  And so these are really the only three Oranski thing is almost
• 1:17:16
  untouchable. Like you have to give up, like I
• 1:17:19
  mean to give up Bouchard for Warenski.
• 1:17:21
  I think I would. Yeah, I think I would, yeah,
• 1:17:24
  would like that extra two games. I think that's a solid one.
• 1:17:26
  Yeah, which you can use for Oranski.
• 1:17:28
  That's a good question. I don't think I would.
• 1:17:31
  You say tough queen. He's Frensky.
• 1:17:34
  I would. Yeah, that's.
• 1:17:38
  Mccarran, Warenski, Hughes and Bouchard I feel like are all so
• 1:17:43
  good and so close to each other that I just give me the guy with
• 1:17:46
  a better place. Schedule, you know, Yeah, I
• 1:17:47
  agree, even though he has been absurd.
• 1:17:49
  But those weren't. So that's fair.
• 1:17:51
  So I think. That's like a plus territory for
• 1:17:53
  some reason. Like, you know, he's not getting
• 1:17:56
  the same respect as Makar would get Werenski.
• 1:17:58
  Yeah, I think you could get so Warenski plus and then I would
• 1:18:02
  Anderson for Quinn Hughes. Not even that much Werenski plus
• 1:18:06
  Heineman. Or a Werenski Hynum and that's,
• 1:18:10
  that's yeah, that's good. That's when he's plus your plus
• 1:18:12
  like a drop from your team. Yeah, I think that's, I mean
• 1:18:15
  it's. Like words like a could use and
• 1:18:18
  Zerlin for Oransky and Heineman slap dog.
• 1:18:25
  Yeah, I think. How was that?
• 1:18:26
  It was. On your team, he's gonna.
• 1:18:29
  Get the whole until end of season now you know that right?
• 1:18:31
  I Yeah. He's done more for taking than
• 1:18:33
  Holloways done for me so. Stellar playoff schedule.
• 1:18:36
  Honestly I think Jake would rather have a streaming.
• 1:18:38
  Spot. Possibly.
• 1:18:40
  Possibly. You know who I love here?
• 1:18:43
  Adam Chantilly. Yeah.
• 1:18:45
  I think we're dealing with two good playoff schedules here.
• 1:18:48
  But Kevin, would you trade? Would rather kill.
• 1:18:51
  Plus. I would.
• 1:18:53
  Rather just different. You would not do it like for
• 1:18:56
  Fantilli Plus I feel like one for one.
• 1:18:58
  Plus I'd consider it's almost but have to be like it can be a
• 1:19:01
  guy I'm gonna drop or like that I.
• 1:19:02
  Could Tillian Heineman. That's all.
• 1:19:05
  It's close. Chantilly, Heinemann, Ford,
• 1:19:08
  Broncos for Cousins and Broncos. Yeah, honestly, that's that's a
• 1:19:11
  close one. I like that.
• 1:19:13
  I feel like I would do that. I feel like between Fantilli and
• 1:19:16
  Cousins it's not Even so far. Off but then I lose my Brady
• 1:19:19
  Bathurst and cousin Stack. Do you know how many times I'm
• 1:19:22
  like I look at my app and they got straight zeros and then I
• 1:19:24
  look at my app? Like this $1.00 on it?
• 1:19:27
  Exactly like they have two power play goals and Cousins got two
• 1:19:30
  goals, Brady's got like a power play assist and Bounces got 2
• 1:19:34
  power play assist and. Yeah, now.
• 1:19:36
  It would be power play points like on a consistent.
• 1:19:39
  Basis, yeah, crazy. But yeah, no, I agree with Jiggy
• 1:19:41
  like Chantilly is still a buy low and we highlighted him in
• 1:19:44
  one or two episodes ago and the points are gonna come.
• 1:19:47
  They haven't fully come yet. The back.
• 1:19:50
  Was out too for a few. Games Yeah yeah I mean like over
• 1:19:53
  a double double with the face off wins line one power play 1
• 1:19:57
  and the points are gonna come after this Olympic break I'd be
• 1:19:59
  trying really hard to buy them honestly like I'm probably going
• 1:20:02
  to go send out some more offers because I mean the guys not
• 1:20:04
  going to trade with me but I'll. Trying so So we'll see because I
• 1:20:08
  think that's a really, really good one to target.
• 1:20:10
  And let's go to the last one. We've got the Tampa Bay
• 1:20:13
  Lightning with the best teams. Yeah, sorry.
• 1:20:16
  I was gonna say Morgan Geeky or Carol Marchenko.
• 1:20:20
  Marchenko. Marchenko Really.
• 1:20:22
  OK, It's tough. There's been a stud.
• 1:20:25
  I know I love geeky. It's tough because I feel like
• 1:20:27
  people keep like doing these, like would you rather have geeky
• 1:20:29
  and someone else? And I keep using the other
• 1:20:30
  person. It's making me seem like a geeky
• 1:20:32
  hater, but I like I'm least like #1 fan, you know, like I drafted
• 1:20:35
  him this year. Super Lady was amazing for me.
• 1:20:37
  I traded him away, unfortunately, but like for good
• 1:20:39
  value and and yeah, no, I'm a huge geeky fan.
• 1:20:42
  I just think that like, you know, it's easier.
• 1:20:44
  It's better to take the more like, you know certain thing in
• 1:20:46
  the Marchenko, especially with the shots about.
• 1:20:48
  Sloth from Marchenko. Michael.
• 1:20:51
  Yeah, yeah. Alright, let's go to Tampa.
• 1:20:55
  So we've got Nikita Kucherov, the best player in the world,
• 1:20:58
  Jake Guentzel, Brandon Hagel, the second best player in the
• 1:21:01
  world, Darren Radish, the actual best player in the world, and
• 1:21:04
  Brayden Point, who's also there. IR player in the.
• 1:21:06
  World. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:21:08
  When you guys ask me like, would you trade away Hegel for this
• 1:21:11
  person? A big reason why I'm always so
• 1:21:13
  apprehensive because I have both Coach and Hegel and it has
• 1:21:16
  turned into the greatest stock I've ever owned.
• 1:21:19
  It's ridiculous. So that's it.
• 1:21:22
  But like independently, I just want to know like when you guys
• 1:21:24
  talking about it like I I try to see it in that way of like, OK,
• 1:21:29
  like I don't have couch in this scenario, but mount having both
• 1:21:32
  of them, it's just nuts. Crazy.
• 1:21:33
  Yeah. No, it's absolutely.
• 1:21:34
  Nuts. Yeah.
• 1:21:36
  So I think coach is unattainable.
• 1:21:38
  I don't think there's possibly any package that could be sent
• 1:21:41
  to get. I mean, look, you can overpay
• 1:21:42
  like crazy, you can send McDavid plus and then it probably gets
• 1:21:44
  done. Would you like?
• 1:21:45
  David, one for one, I'm not doing that by the.
• 1:21:47
  Way. But would you do?
• 1:21:49
  Yeah, probably. Honestly, yeah, if McDavid had
• 1:21:53
  the better schedule, I wouldn't. But like, yeah, I would do it
• 1:21:56
  for the playoff schedule. So you have the same playoff
• 1:21:57
  schedule? I'm taking McDavid then and I
• 1:22:00
  know it's crazy with how they've been playing, but I just for,
• 1:22:03
  but like for what the playoff schedule it makes it a no
• 1:22:05
  brainer. The only player I'd rather over
• 1:22:07
  crush at this point is McAllen. Yeah, that's fair.
• 1:22:10
  Just that's that's the only player and even at that, that's
• 1:22:14
  cause of the faceoffs largely I would say without face off your
• 1:22:17
  couch has just been nuts. So yeah, that's been crazy.
• 1:22:20
  Take you would you do Mikko Rantanen Muskoka field for
• 1:22:23
  Kucherov? No.
• 1:22:25
  OK. I think.
• 1:22:28
  I think. There maybe.
• 1:22:30
  What if it was JT Miller Plus treadmills?
• 1:22:34
  Cocoms Cocoa Field. No.
• 1:22:36
  What about GT and TH? Yeah, no, yeah, no.
• 1:22:43
  Yeah. Anyways, I think, I think, yeah,
• 1:22:45
  I don't think, I don't think getting controls, if you have
• 1:22:46
  him just enjoy. Um, I think Denzel you can get
• 1:22:51
  like he's he's kind of like always we talked about this
• 1:22:53
  throughout the whole season. He just kind of that solid like
• 1:22:55
  point per game guy who just gets the job done.
• 1:22:57
  But it's not the most exciting name.
• 1:22:58
  So you can get him, Hagel, I think.
• 1:23:02
  I'm still not sure if he sticks on that power play.
• 1:23:05
  One point goes back. Please sell Brandon Hagel right
• 1:23:07
  now for like a first two round guy, I think.
• 1:23:10
  Yeah, I think you have to do that.
• 1:23:11
  You could get Brandon Hagel for Kilcar in a lot of leagues.
• 1:23:15
  That would be nuts, Jake. Brandon Hagel plus Nederland for
• 1:23:18
  Kill Makar, who says no. Oh, no, they added Sutherland.
• 1:23:22
  I think it makes it too, too rich.
• 1:23:24
  You can't. Yeah, no.
• 1:23:26
  So. So it's obviously like we're
• 1:23:27
  talking guys to acquire, but I wouldn't acquire Hagel with how
• 1:23:30
  hot he's been, which is kind of counterintuitive.
• 1:23:32
  Obviously. I think this price is too high.
• 1:23:34
  Same with radish. He's just been way too good.
• 1:23:36
  Like you're not going to be happy with whatever you pay to
• 1:23:38
  get him, even though you're like, I think he's gonna be
• 1:23:39
  really good rest of season. It's just he's been too good.
• 1:23:43
  For me has been like the guy that like if you have like the
• 1:23:45
  Bouchard of Quinn Hughes, get radish.
• 1:23:47
  Plus I feel like he doesn't have the name value enough to back up
• 1:23:51
  like the standalone value but in a package.
• 1:23:53
  I mean, maybe I'm just too high on there and reddish, but I
• 1:23:56
  think like rest of season he's a top five defenseman it feels.
• 1:23:59
  Like we talked about. The other four.
• 1:24:01
  Yeah. The most aerodynamic player in
• 1:24:03
  the world, that's for sure. Him involved Panarin for sure.
• 1:24:07
  Like what would be do you who would win the best flow team or
• 1:24:13
  the best balds team? Best ball team by far and Radish
• 1:24:19
  Bennett. Anyways, not against it, too
• 1:24:23
  many. Times on save his head then he's
• 1:24:25
  basically stopping all. Absolutely.
• 1:24:31
  Are there any bald goalies right now?
• 1:24:33
  Are are there any bald goalies? I can't think of anything at
• 1:24:37
  all. Man of interesting.
• 1:24:41
  There are. Yeah, I just tried to call you
• 1:24:44
  but. Yeah, they need more aerodynamic
• 1:24:46
  for sure. But right now, are there any
• 1:24:49
  ball goal? Yeah, that's exactly what
• 1:24:52
  happened. I don't see any.
• 1:24:57
  Yeah. So other than that, I think the
• 1:25:00
  Best Buy here is Brayden Point. Obviously we're not saying he's
• 1:25:03
  the best one here, but like for the price, I think he's
• 1:25:06
  definitely, we're sound like broken records.
• 1:25:08
  We've been saying vibrating points since Week 1 of this
• 1:25:10
  season, but he was really turning it on before his injury.
• 1:25:13
  He's not playing in the Olympics, which sucks for him,
• 1:25:15
  but it's good for fantasy because he's going to get
• 1:25:17
  healthy and come back and and I think he's just a fantastic buy
• 1:25:21
  right now, especially that playoff schedule.
• 1:25:23
  Yeah, I agree. Alright.
• 1:25:25
  That's done for. Brilliant.
• 1:25:26
  I think that's an important question though, because people
• 1:25:29
  have picked up Britain, people thrown in as like throwing at
• 1:25:32
  this point. Yeah, well have our regular, our
• 1:25:36
  regular crew of centres to send right like Brock Nelson, Ryan
• 1:25:39
  O'Reilly, would you take you take point over Dylan Cousins?
• 1:25:44
  I wouldn't right now because I need to make the playoffs and
• 1:25:46
  I'm just like, it's too ambiguous.
• 1:25:50
  But in general I'm taking point. In general, like a healthy Point
• 1:25:54
  is playing on all cylinders. I would take Point over Cousins,
• 1:25:56
  obviously. Yeah, so.
• 1:25:58
  Campos. Yeah, points for sure.
• 1:26:00
  Schmaltz. Yeah, I like that as a great
• 1:26:02
  one. But these are all names we're
• 1:26:03
  about to get into because that finishes up our players to
• 1:26:06
  target. Let's get into our top players
• 1:26:08
  to trade away. So I included here all the teams
• 1:26:12
  that have 9 games and I also included Nashville because they
• 1:26:15
  have that two game week in the finals.
• 1:26:17
  So they're the only 10 game team that included in these trade
• 1:26:20
  away targets because of that two game week.
• 1:26:22
  So start with Nashville. And I mean, these are all the
• 1:26:25
  cell highs we've been talking about for, for weeks now that
• 1:26:27
  Ryan O'Reilly, Steven Stamkos, Roman Yosi, Philip Forsberg.
• 1:26:31
  Um, I think O'Reilly and Stamkos are both massive cell highs.
• 1:26:35
  Yoshi is a huge cell high, but I think he's going to be still
• 1:26:38
  good rest of season for, compared to the other guys I
• 1:26:41
  think are gonna drop off more and then force breaks.
• 1:26:43
  Not really a sell high but just for playoff schedule I would
• 1:26:45
  sell. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:26:48
  I totally agree. And all, but if in the rare
• 1:26:52
  occasion that you're playoff weeks are are weeks 20 to 22,
• 1:26:56
  then I've disregard Nashville being a bad team because they'll
• 1:27:00
  have a four, four and semis and finals.
• 1:27:01
  I know there was some people in this chat, but it's very
• 1:27:04
  unlikely. Yeah.
• 1:27:05
  But these guys that you mentioned, I think they're all
• 1:27:08
  honestly, I feel like we must get off your roster.
• 1:27:10
  I know they've been good for like 3 months at this point.
• 1:27:12
  But at the end of the day, I don't think that I expect
• 1:27:15
  Nashville to remain a team that's this competitive after
• 1:27:18
  you do the Olympic break. So I would capitalize right now
• 1:27:22
  while the averages are still super high and you can get a
• 1:27:25
  pretty penny for them. Yeah, for sure.
• 1:27:28
  I think there is something to say like if the way your team is
• 1:27:31
  structured, you have a lot of guys with like 4 game weeks in
• 1:27:34
  the finals like in week 23, but you don't have the best like
• 1:27:38
  week 2122 schedule, then I could see keeping these Nashville guys
• 1:27:41
  just because it kind of balances out, right?
• 1:27:43
  You're like a four or four in those first two weeks.
• 1:27:46
  Like this is not talking about like O'Reilly and Stamkos where
• 1:27:48
  just sell highs regardless, but more like Yoshi and Forsberg.
• 1:27:50
  So like look at your team structure and how it works.
• 1:27:53
  Like if you, if you really like are comfortable with your
• 1:27:56
  schedule for week 23, then I would just hold these guys
• 1:27:58
  because there were 2122 are great.
• 1:28:00
  But if you're just trying to be all around, you know, best not
• 1:28:03
  have any two game weeks, then then we like to trade them.
• 1:28:06
  Put yourself in the shoes of our listeners when I'm about to ask
• 1:28:09
  you this question, OK? If you have Ryan O'Reilly or
• 1:28:12
  Steven Stamkos, would you trade them for yester Brad?
• 1:28:16
  OK, because if you're in my own shoes, I would do that.
• 1:28:18
  But like in the. Shoes I'm listeners, they've
• 1:28:20
  been hearing about yes, for Brad for months.
• 1:28:23
  He's still .7 points per game is very disappointing.
• 1:28:26
  Jack Hughes is never healthy, but he's probably gonna be
• 1:28:28
  healthy when he comes back to the Olympic break.
• 1:28:30
  The Devils could make the playoffs.
• 1:28:31
  Like there's a lot to be optimistic about, but there's a
• 1:28:33
  lot of sample size to be. We're not hitting that.
• 1:28:36
  So these guys have been so good for so long, they've carried
• 1:28:40
  your fantasy teams. Now just ship them away for a
• 1:28:41
  guy that we're hoping bounces back to do what they've been
• 1:28:44
  doing. I'm probably not going to do
• 1:28:47
  that. Like I don't think it's a bad
• 1:28:49
  idea, but I feel like it's one of those that is just there's so
• 1:28:52
  many question marks with the devils and brat right now.
• 1:28:55
  Like I do believe in them, but I get it.
• 1:28:58
  I just probably wouldn't do it. I feel like you're not going to
• 1:29:01
  get 1.2 points per game last season in return.
• 1:29:04
  That's kind of what you're hoping.
• 1:29:05
  For But do we expect these natural guys to do that?
• 1:29:08
  What do we expect from them rest of season?
• 1:29:09
  That's the. Thing similar similar stats to
• 1:29:13
  what Brad can produce like, you know, like I, I don't.
• 1:29:19
  Really, I think Brad could be a point per game player of the
• 1:29:21
  season. I know I keep saying that and it
• 1:29:24
  feels crazy, but like, look at this, look at his, look at his
• 1:29:26
  previous season, like he's been over a point per game player.
• 1:29:29
  Like that's the kind of guy who he is where he's having a down
• 1:29:31
  year, right? Now, so just from like a
• 1:29:32
  mathematical perspective, do you think it's because you're
• 1:29:35
  thinking it could either be .8 or 1.2 and then like the one is
• 1:29:38
  the average or you actually just genuinely believe one is the
• 1:29:41
  average? Because I would say there's a
• 1:29:44
  75% chance he's at .8 rest of the season and a 25% chance is
• 1:29:48
  at 1.2, right? So that like makes his average
• 1:29:51
  like lower than one point per game.
• 1:29:54
  To me, I think to me is like, who do I expect to average more
• 1:29:57
  points for rest of season? Like do I think Brad is gonna
• 1:29:59
  end the year at a point per game?
• 1:30:00
  No, his season was too slow. But the important part is not
• 1:30:03
  what he's done for you already is what he can do for you in the
• 1:30:05
  future. That's how you have to picture
• 1:30:07
  what you're looking at. The stats like, oh, this guy's
• 1:30:08
  at .7 points per game. There's no way he hits 80 points
• 1:30:12
  on the season. All tend to agree with you, but
• 1:30:14
  does that mean that he can't be over point per game for the rest
• 1:30:17
  of the season and still not hit a point per game?
• 1:30:18
  No. And you want the production
• 1:30:20
  that's going to come, right? So do I think Ryan O'reilly's
• 1:30:23
  gonna keep producing at this rate for the rest of the season?
• 1:30:25
  I do not. Maybe he does and he proves me
• 1:30:27
  wrong. But I think he could get traded.
• 1:30:29
  And if he gets traded, I don't think he's going anywhere close
• 1:30:32
  to what he's been doing. So I think it's easy.
• 1:30:34
  I've had this conversation, people in the Discord where
• 1:30:36
  they're like, this has been so much better the whole year.
• 1:30:39
  Brad's not gonna hit 80 points. And I'm just like, he's not
• 1:30:42
  gonna hit 80 points. But he can still produce really
• 1:30:44
  good for your fantasy team and be way more valuable than these
• 1:30:47
  guys, right? Like we he has that in his bag.
• 1:30:49
  So I think it's just like a mindset shift and like seeing
• 1:30:52
  the rest of season value as opposed to what they've already
• 1:30:54
  given you. And I think you could get Brett
• 1:30:58
  plus. Yeah, I mean, I would definitely
• 1:31:00
  do it for Brad. Plus, look, I think it's really
• 1:31:03
  difficult if you're the person who's holding these guys.
• 1:31:06
  Like I think like there's definitely an aspect of like,
• 1:31:08
  why should I do that? You know, why take all that
• 1:31:10
  risk? And I think that's fair.
• 1:31:12
  As I always say, like, I guess I'm kind of like people are kind
• 1:31:16
  of getting an idea of like the type of player that I am over
• 1:31:18
  the course of the year. You know, I love these high risk
• 1:31:20
  plays, the high risk, high reward.
• 1:31:22
  Like to me, if I'm not the best team, then I'm the worst team.
• 1:31:25
  So if you know, like if that's the if this is the chance to
• 1:31:29
  like catapult me to like, you know, being like a way better
• 1:31:31
  team with, you know, the risk of making me like slightly worse,
• 1:31:36
  I'm taking it. So I would do it.
• 1:31:37
  I wouldn't blame anyone for not doing it though, but I would do
• 1:31:40
  it. And we're not going to give,
• 1:31:42
  we're going through our trade away targets right now.
• 1:31:44
  Just look at the trade 4 targets we did before and kind of like
• 1:31:46
  mix and match. That's kind of what you're to
• 1:31:48
  do. Not give you names for all of
• 1:31:49
  these players to be way too long.
• 1:31:51
  But Brad was one I thought I'd highlight because, you know,
• 1:31:53
  he's been a hot topic for like, the whole season at this.
• 1:31:55
  Point And I mean, this is kind of like a nice way also to just
• 1:31:58
  recap a lot of players. Like this is just a lot of names
• 1:32:01
  and let's get to highlight some of them.
• 1:32:03
  Talk about a lot. I also think that last thing, I
• 1:32:05
  also think they have to know your league.
• 1:32:07
  Like in our league, this would be a conversation like if
• 1:32:09
  somebody offered I have Brad, if somebody offered me O'Reilly,
• 1:32:11
  like we have three weeks left in the regular season for fantasy.
• 1:32:14
  I'm at risk of not making the playoffs, but I'm still in the
• 1:32:17
  playoff picture right now. So it's like it's an actual
• 1:32:20
  debate. And that's the type of trade
• 1:32:21
  that would be like close in a competitive league.
• 1:32:23
  If you're in a less competitive league where people like they
• 1:32:25
  see Brad sucking and they're like this guy is all drop him
• 1:32:29
  then know your league 2 and know the value you can get for these
• 1:32:32
  players. You probably aim higher than
• 1:32:34
  then brought if that's the case. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:32:37
  That's a good way to put it. All right, let's go to the next
• 1:32:39
  one. We I Saint Louis.
• 1:32:41
  Honestly, I don't think there's anyone who's like worth much to
• 1:32:44
  trade away and they have a great off night schedule.
• 1:32:47
  So I didn't actually put any names here because I mean, like,
• 1:32:49
  who are you trading away That can get you value?
• 1:32:51
  Thomas is at an all time low with his like terrible season
• 1:32:54
  and injury. Kyra's been terrible all year.
• 1:32:56
  I know he's been picking it up a bit.
• 1:32:57
  I don't think as much trade value.
• 1:32:58
  A lot of people dropped and picked him up.
• 1:33:00
  Holloway's injured. It's a bunch of fringe guys.
• 1:33:02
  Like, I just don't think there's anyone worth trading away.
• 1:33:05
  I think you could do like a. As I said, you could do it like
• 1:33:08
  a Cairo for Brian Rust type of thing maybe.
• 1:33:11
  I don't think there's any world where someone accepts that.
• 1:33:13
  No Hmm, like I think the the I like Kairu.
• 1:33:17
  I've been want. I wanted to buy him all season.
• 1:33:19
  Where's the crazy? But like.
• 1:33:21
  But maybe that's not bad. Yeah, Cairo.
• 1:33:24
  Cairo is like, I get where you're coming from that no one
• 1:33:27
  you don't think anyone would do it for Rust, but people are very
• 1:33:30
  kind of short sighted in a lot. Of ways that's.
• 1:33:33
  Yeah. And I feel like for us, we tend
• 1:33:35
  to look at bigger picture in our league in general.
• 1:33:36
  It's a very deep competitive league in a more shallow league.
• 1:33:39
  I don't think that's impossible. So he's the only one I would say
• 1:33:42
  is a. True Ontrol, yeah.
• 1:33:44
  He's the hottest Blues right now, I think.
• 1:33:46
  Blues, yeah. Yeah.
• 1:33:48
  Yeah. My boy Blue, Yeah.
• 1:33:54
  Play song, by the way. Alright, let's go to the next
• 1:33:58
  one. We've got Toronto, so here's a
• 1:34:00
  lot of, there's a lot of interesting stuff here.
• 1:34:02
  John Paris, Matthew Nyes, William Nylander, Austin
• 1:34:05
  Matthews. He tossed Morgan Riley if he's
• 1:34:07
  healthy. Like.
• 1:34:11
  Yeah. First of all, do you guys think
• 1:34:13
  any of these guys get traded? No, no, I think, I think it's
• 1:34:17
  not impossible, but. I don't think they're like a
• 1:34:20
  team that's gonna start training.
• 1:34:22
  Away you know they're. Selling only Taveras could get
• 1:34:23
  traded in my opinion they're not really matters not.
• 1:34:26
  Really not be so crazy after you sign like such a nice contract
• 1:34:29
  for them and they're like, alright, see ya, you made
• 1:34:31
  yourself expendable now because we can actually get value for
• 1:34:33
  your amazing contract. Yeah.
• 1:34:35
  I think that I think that they could have like a decent bounce
• 1:34:39
  back after. They're actually not not doing
• 1:34:41
  badly like they can make. Money off doing bad at all.
• 1:34:43
  They're 2721 and 9 on the season.
• 1:34:47
  Last week that I saw, they were like the worst team in the NHL
• 1:34:50
  or something. It's crazy like they the the
• 1:34:53
  bound they've been bouncing back for sure.
• 1:34:54
  Like I actually when we get to the goalie section, the way I
• 1:34:57
  kind of ranked opponents in terms of considering something
• 1:35:00
  good matchup, I ranked them by teams.
• 1:35:02
  Well, it was a mix of like standings and like goals for per
• 1:35:06
  game because for goalies, that's what you care about, like how
• 1:35:08
  many goals are going to let in. And when I was doing this
• 1:35:11
  exercise like a week or two ago, Toronto was in that, you know,
• 1:35:14
  bottom tier where I would count them as a good matchup.
• 1:35:16
  But now they're in like they're in the hunt and they're not in
• 1:35:19
  that bottom tier team anymore. And I was I was surprised I
• 1:35:22
  hadn't been following them specifically that much lately.
• 1:35:25
  And they've just been blowing up.
• 1:35:26
  So. So yeah, they might not be
• 1:35:28
  sellers, but what do we think of these guys?
• 1:35:31
  I mean, we had talked about in a previous episode on a mailbag
• 1:35:33
  how nice, you know, it was like split personality when he's home
• 1:35:35
  and away to virus has been super disappointing, Neil, and has
• 1:35:38
  been on fire. Matthews has been solid.
• 1:35:40
  Like not his ceiling, but still like you're happy to have like,
• 1:35:43
  you know, still playing like almost like a first rounder.
• 1:35:45
  So, so yeah, like are these you know, guys that like who do you
• 1:35:50
  think has the most trade value right now compared to what their
• 1:35:53
  actual value? Is this is this is an
• 1:35:56
  interesting one because I feel like of this list of teams,
• 1:35:59
  they're the only team where I'm like, they're also kind of by
• 1:36:03
  laws, even with the bad playoff schedule, all a lot of these
• 1:36:06
  players. Yeah.
• 1:36:07
  So I could acquire them probably.
• 1:36:09
  Noise is a tremendous Bylo, I would say, even with a bad
• 1:36:12
  playoff schedule, like he's been bad, like in the Discord, like I
• 1:36:16
  read someone wrote, he's just been a disappointment all season
• 1:36:20
  so. Which is not true.
• 1:36:22
  Like I remember when he started off super hot, he was like one
• 1:36:25
  of the best players for the first month and a half.
• 1:36:27
  Two months, Yeah, over a point per game and like a triple,
• 1:36:30
  triple, triple double. Yeah, it's double, triple I get,
• 1:36:34
  I guess. Yeah, he did well with the
• 1:36:38
  shots. It's very.
• 1:36:39
  Well. But I, I think that it's one of
• 1:36:42
  those situations I'm not like I have Matthews.
• 1:36:45
  I don't wanna trade him away because I don't really think
• 1:36:47
  he's a sell high per se. I guess Nielander could slot in
• 1:36:51
  that category, but it's an average situation.
• 1:36:53
  He hasn't really played a lot. So I don't know.
• 1:36:57
  I don't think I'm selling any of these guys.
• 1:36:59
  I don't really want to sell any. I don't think you're getting.
• 1:37:01
  So I think you're getting good value.
• 1:37:03
  You're not gonna get good value for Taurus and Nice.
• 1:37:05
  So I don't think I would sell them for peanuts.
• 1:37:08
  I'd rather hold at that point. Newlander, I think you can get
• 1:37:11
  good value for it's, I mean, it's like you said, like the
• 1:37:14
  sample size is super small, which skews the averages, but
• 1:37:16
  they're screwing them very much in his favor because every game
• 1:37:18
  he's played has been like unreal.
• 1:37:20
  So I think you could like even if you just kind of like do a
• 1:37:23
  lateral move for an improved playoff schedule, like what are
• 1:37:25
  some names you guys would think you could target?
• 1:37:28
  For Jacques. There you go.
• 1:37:30
  There you go. Out other sandwiches.
• 1:37:32
  That was brilliant. Probably.
• 1:37:35
  Yes, I love that. That's actually top choice.
• 1:37:38
  Why Johnston pull that off? Yeah, like that.
• 1:37:40
  I'm just going through the bylaws that we listed.
• 1:37:42
  That's they're all fantastic. I think those are great.
• 1:37:46
  No, I'm not doing it for bathers.
• 1:37:50
  I would maybe bothersome plus Batherson but.
• 1:37:53
  Just one Batherson. I mean, I I had an offer like
• 1:37:56
  this was weeks ago where it was like Panera and plus Bathurst
• 1:37:59
  and for Jack Hughes and New Underwood.
• 1:38:01
  Both were on IR and it got rejected.
• 1:38:03
  The guys like close to last place and at this point not
• 1:38:06
  making the playoffs anymore. But if you did that train, maybe
• 1:38:08
  you could have. But yeah, who knows.
• 1:38:12
  I was gonna say Tavares is one that I think we highlighted him
• 1:38:16
  as a bylaw. I feel like it was over a month
• 1:38:18
  ago at this point, right? Like I'm by the time somebody
• 1:38:20
  something a month ago, two months ago, so.
• 1:38:22
  Was it like pre Rick bonus or post bonus?
• 1:38:26
  Great metric of time. I think it was pre bonus.
• 1:38:28
  Absolutely. OK, OK.
• 1:38:30
  But he didn't bounce back as much as I thought like he was.
• 1:38:33
  He's always like a point per game player type of thing.
• 1:38:35
  On the season he's at like .8 so he's off the averages right
• 1:38:39
  there. But I remember when I
• 1:38:40
  recommended we had like no points over the like the month,
• 1:38:43
  right? So it was a bounce back but not
• 1:38:45
  enough to where we thought he would get to.
• 1:38:47
  I think you could. Would you trade to various for
• 1:38:50
  like an Anton Lundell? That's a good one.
• 1:38:54
  I think that would. Really.
• 1:38:56
  Well, there you go, I think. I did it for Chantilly.
• 1:38:58
  If you could pull that off, that would be sick.
• 1:39:01
  That depending on really. But yeah.
• 1:39:03
  That one I would love to do you guys know, remember I sent you
• 1:39:07
  guys this trade I sent like a few weeks ago.
• 1:39:09
  I sent it was McDavid for Mccarr, Marchinko and Tavares.
• 1:39:13
  And I got like like insulted. I was like what?
• 1:39:18
  Like how could you send me such an insulting offer in hindsight
• 1:39:21
  that would be a huge help for me like.
• 1:39:23
  Huge help but. It's a pretty Big L for me.
• 1:39:25
  I think Makar is still he's just billowing himself, right?
• 1:39:28
  Now sure, I mean McDavid averaging like their combined
• 1:39:31
  points over the like since that I sent that offer, you know like
• 1:39:34
  and that's like with losing 2 streamer spots in addition to
• 1:39:37
  that, like no, I've been a huge L and it's just like sometimes
• 1:39:40
  you know like the Vilos just don't pan out so maybe.
• 1:39:44
  Maybe, actually. I definitely don't think it's
• 1:39:47
  insulting. I don't think I did.
• 1:39:50
  You sent it. The averages were not what they
• 1:39:52
  were. Now it was.
• 1:39:53
  Like no, they were even better when I sent it.
• 1:39:55
  No different guys was like at zeros.
• 1:39:57
  Marchenko was at zeros. Like I sent it when they were
• 1:39:59
  both extreme by Lowe's and the guy was like, oh, they're gonna
• 1:40:01
  turn it around like this is insulting offer.
• 1:40:03
  And then they've just like, I mean, Martin's been solid going
• 1:40:05
  to our stay terrible. McDavid has been insane.
• 1:40:07
  You know, Mark, Mark Mccarr has not been great.
• 1:40:10
  So anyways, just some vindication for myself that I
• 1:40:13
  didn't deserve to get like cussed out for for sending that
• 1:40:15
  offer. Nobody does get cussed out like
• 1:40:16
  that anyways. But yeah.
• 1:40:18
  I think Nylander if you could, would you Nylander for um, I'm
• 1:40:23
  trying to look at a package like Morgan Geeky Plus.
• 1:40:27
  It would have to be a big plus for.
• 1:40:28
  Me, really. I would really love to do that.
• 1:40:30
  I would do like Geeky plus Lindholm.
• 1:40:34
  You you don't like Leo Lander though, I think.
• 1:40:37
  I've been I've been way lower on Nylander, but I'm just at the
• 1:40:39
  end of the day, I'm making the playoff schedule too.
• 1:40:41
  And I'm like this is. I don't know.
• 1:40:43
  I'm not doing that. I think that's too low for even
• 1:40:45
  with. The putting it out there, what
• 1:40:46
  about BC plus Batherson? I'm I'm.
• 1:40:50
  I'm. Ohr.
• 1:40:52
  Guess that's that's pretty good. Like the playoff schedule is the
• 1:40:56
  only reason the only reason I'm like considering that obviously
• 1:40:58
  that's what I want this episode trade.
• 1:41:01
  Yeah, I would consider that depending on who you.
• 1:41:03
  Have to do. OK, so straight 2 for one then.
• 1:41:10
  OK, I don't think that's terrible.
• 1:41:12
  I still think Nylander is by far the best player in that trade.
• 1:41:14
  You know what I actually think though, like, and it involves
• 1:41:16
  what we're talking about, Matthews could have a very
• 1:41:19
  strong finish if Nylander's healthy.
• 1:41:21
  I feel like if Nylander and Matthews are both playing
• 1:41:23
  together, like I really think Nylander and Matthews could both
• 1:41:26
  have a very solid finish this year.
• 1:41:28
  Yeah, I agree. No, it should be better too.
• 1:41:30
  That's why I don't like what I said earlier.
• 1:41:32
  I don't want to sell any of these Toronto guys.
• 1:41:34
  But would you rather reschedule Fabian Zetterlund or Ilia
• 1:41:38
  Mikhaylov? OK, we're just wasting time.
• 1:41:42
  OK, let's move on. Kevin, all of this to say, you
• 1:41:45
  can you can fix a lot of these problems if you're willing to
• 1:41:48
  trade your players at a fair price.
• 1:41:51
  One of my problems who am I actually get a fair?
• 1:41:53
  Price you're you're mad that I made this trade with Josh?
• 1:41:56
  No, I could have traded. I would have traded you
• 1:41:58
  celebrating for to Chuck. And I would I make this settling
• 1:42:02
  comments. I am not related with Josh
• 1:42:04
  literally at all. It doesn't literally roasting
• 1:42:05
  patties that are because I think like you could drop them, but I
• 1:42:08
  think you're holding it for some reason because you you think
• 1:42:10
  that it makes the trade worse if you drop them.
• 1:42:14
  Playoff primer. And I'm realizing that he has a
• 1:42:17
  very good playoff schedule. Therefore he's still on my team.
• 1:42:21
  And for all the listeners, please don't keep holding Fabian
• 1:42:24
  Zetterlund. We're just in a very deep league
• 1:42:27
  and I've had other droppable players, but he he's he's gonna
• 1:42:31
  go if, if, if I have an opportunity to send him off my
• 1:42:34
  team. But for now, like in most
• 1:42:36
  leagues, you should not be rostered at all.
• 1:42:40
  I don't think anybody's ever heard like as much about Fabian
• 1:42:43
  Zetterlund as what they do. Listen to this August Yeah.
• 1:42:47
  Anyways, let's move on to the next one.
• 1:42:50
  We've got Utah. So some guys here, Nick
• 1:42:53
  Schmaltz, Mikhail Sergachev, Dylan Guenther, Clayton Keller.
• 1:42:57
  I think Schmaltz is the biggest sell high on this team and it's
• 1:43:00
  a team with a bad playoff schedule makes it a no brainer.
• 1:43:03
  Should we list some of the names that match up with it on the on
• 1:43:06
  the higher list above that we just talked about?
• 1:43:10
  Do you think you could possibly? Yeah, I would do that for sure.
• 1:43:14
  That's better. Yeah, I think for the Pittsburgh
• 1:43:17
  guys, Brian Russ, I think I would.
• 1:43:19
  Be able to do that. Love that, Richard Michael.
• 1:43:21
  Yep, do that. Would you do for Malkin?
• 1:43:24
  I know we're all a bit lower on Malkin.
• 1:43:26
  I don't know why I feel like I feel like I should say yes but I
• 1:43:29
  don't want to. I get what you're.
• 1:43:32
  Saying is that crazy? But also like we have been so
• 1:43:36
  good. We're forgetting that come from
• 1:43:38
  like come after the Olympic break, Logan Cool is gonna be
• 1:43:40
  back and he's usually the line 1C on this team.
• 1:43:41
  He just got paid too. Like now that's out of the
• 1:43:43
  question type of thing. So but Smoltz has been so good
• 1:43:46
  on this line. Are they gonna want to ruin
• 1:43:47
  that? I don't know.
• 1:43:49
  I'm very curious to see how. You get out of family and I
• 1:43:51
  think that's the best thing you can do.
• 1:43:53
  I think you get family plus probably, yeah.
• 1:43:56
  Point would you do for Brayden Point.
• 1:43:58
  Absolutely. Yeah, of course.
• 1:44:00
  Yeah. So yeah, of course.
• 1:44:03
  Point though, like his point for sure coming back right after the
• 1:44:05
  Olympics? If so, then.
• 1:44:07
  I don't think it's for sure, but I think it's very likely.
• 1:44:10
  Yeah. And I think there's a less
• 1:44:12
  chance of you being able to pull this off if that's like
• 1:44:14
  confirmed. So you kind of have to take that
• 1:44:15
  risk to be able to pull off a trade like.
• 1:44:17
  That well, didn't rule them out from the Olympics until like the
• 1:44:19
  last moment. Yeah.
• 1:44:21
  So that's and they said he. He was skating himself.
• 1:44:23
  So I think, yeah, I think he could have played, but he
• 1:44:26
  wouldn't have been 100%. And so he didn't want to pull
• 1:44:29
  like a Matthew could Chuck from foreign nations and like cost
• 1:44:31
  his nation, you know, the game, the series.
• 1:44:34
  So very noble of him. Sucks.
• 1:44:36
  But yeah, no, these are all great targets for schmaltz.
• 1:44:39
  Sergachev, Gunther, Keller, I think are all good cells, but
• 1:44:43
  not necessarily as much of a cell high as Schmaltz is.
• 1:44:47
  Utah, Utah Sugar has been the guy that I feel like I've been
• 1:44:50
  trying to get off my roster as much as possible throughout the
• 1:44:52
  whole season because just the playoff schedule is just not
• 1:44:55
  there and. Just say for me for.
• 1:44:57
  Again, I'd rather switch over several that makes it feel
• 1:45:01
  better, but I agree. But but I just think that he's
• 1:45:07
  he's been performing well enough that I feel like he's like a
• 1:45:09
  middle of the pack power play 1 defenseman and you've had
• 1:45:12
  opportunities to make bilateral move to a better playoff guy.
• 1:45:15
  I've been trying to do that type of thing.
• 1:45:16
  There's an interesting 1 Minnesota, so obviously they've
• 1:45:19
  been popping off. Zuccarello, Erickson, Eck,
• 1:45:21
  Boldy, Quinn, Hughes, Krill, Kaprizov.
• 1:45:24
  The biggest cell high is Matt Zuccarello.
• 1:45:27
  He's been insane .5 points, power play points over the past
• 1:45:31
  month, unsustainable point per game.
• 1:45:33
  Like it's just yeah, I mean this is a clear clear cell high with
• 1:45:37
  the added bad playoff schedule. It makes it just like a no
• 1:45:39
  brainer. Who do you think you could get
• 1:45:41
  with Sue? Can you get like a brat with
• 1:45:43
  Zuccarello? Is that even possible?
• 1:45:44
  Is that possible? I feel like in some leagues you
• 1:45:46
  can, to be honest, like people hate Brad.
• 1:45:48
  I'm all I see is negative Brad comments.
• 1:45:51
  I've it's honestly it's it's hitting me on the mental level
• 1:45:55
  right now. Like am I wrong about this?
• 1:45:57
  Like, you know, it's just it's hard guys, we're out here.
• 1:46:00
  We're actually seeing people, you know, have opposite takes on
• 1:46:04
  us and we just gotta have conviction that, you know,
• 1:46:06
  trusting the process of what we believe in on all that.
• 1:46:09
  But it's I think you could do that.
• 1:46:12
  I would do that absolutely 100% sample something.
• 1:46:15
  Would you do a zuk for like as egress?
• 1:46:19
  Yeah, I would. I think for the playoff schedule
• 1:46:21
  and everything, these are the type of guys that Zuko probably
• 1:46:24
  the worst player on your roster if you're holding Zuke right now
• 1:46:27
  or like bottom 3, like cuttable guys type of thing.
• 1:46:30
  If I have that, I'm not trying to do one for one because then
• 1:46:32
  you just you're closing up your streaming spot.
• 1:46:34
  What I'm trying to do is make it a 2 for one.
• 1:46:36
  We're using you as a piece of upgrade.
• 1:46:37
  So do a Zuke plus something to get a mortgage.
• 1:46:44
  Geeky or something, you know? Yeah, for sure.
• 1:46:47
  No, I love that. And then with these other guys,
• 1:46:49
  yeah. Are you worried as a Ericsson
• 1:46:52
  Echo owner that they're gonna trade for another centre and
• 1:46:54
  that he can get bumped off power?
• 1:46:55
  Play one for that other centre? I'm.
• 1:46:57
  Like what if Trocheck goes to Minnesota?
• 1:47:00
  I know you said that he prefers to go to the east, but let's say
• 1:47:01
  like they are targeting him. That's pretty clear.
• 1:47:03
  If they got Trocheck, there's a chance that he gets properly 1 /
• 1:47:06
  X and act right. I would say hmm, because.
• 1:47:12
  If they get quadri. Yeah, honestly, I don't think
• 1:47:15
  they're gonna make another big splash.
• 1:47:18
  I'd be. Surprised, I feel that they are.
• 1:47:20
  It'd be really fun and I hope they do for the sake of the
• 1:47:23
  league. I just feel like after that
• 1:47:24
  massive Queen Hughes trade, I think they're kind.
• 1:47:27
  Of I think what they're trying to do, I don't know if they're
• 1:47:30
  gonna pull it off, but I think what they're trying to do is
• 1:47:32
  send Walstead for an elite centre, some sort of package.
• 1:47:37
  Yeah, honestly, yeah. So I think like I'm a little
• 1:47:41
  worried as American eco owner, not enough to make me sell him
• 1:47:44
  for like less than his value, but with the bad playoff
• 1:47:46
  schedule, like I'm happy to sell and then boldly using Capri,
• 1:47:49
  which has been absolutely insane.
• 1:47:50
  You're only gonna sell them for another like first round pick
• 1:47:52
  with a better playoff. Schedule and I would really look
• 1:47:55
  to do that guys because these guys have been insane for your
• 1:47:58
  fantasy teams like you're holding them.
• 1:47:59
  There are probably some of the best players on your roster
• 1:48:01
  right and they're they've been producing insane levels.
• 1:48:05
  I'm trying to capitalize on that and make a quote UN quote
• 1:48:07
  lateral move to a better playoff schedule.
• 1:48:09
  Like would you do boldly for natures?
• 1:48:12
  Yeah. Yeah, that's good.
• 1:48:14
  Right in the playoff schedule is the difference.
• 1:48:16
  Maker, we already talked about Quinn Hughes going for like the
• 1:48:19
  Makars or there were Anskis Kaprizov.
• 1:48:21
  Kristoffer Pasta. Yeah, capris offer pasta.
• 1:48:25
  Would you do in a bankruptcy Caprisa for Brady?
• 1:48:28
  I think if your team can afford the points L, like that's a
• 1:48:32
  really like team structure type of thing.
• 1:48:34
  But in terms of like pure value and bangers like, yeah, I'm on
• 1:48:37
  board with that. Yeah, that's fair.
• 1:48:39
  Who's the lowest best guy who tries out for cuz I feel like a
• 1:48:42
  lot of people have capris on their.
• 1:48:43
  Roster would you do in a league that's bangers with face off so
• 1:48:47
  you could freeze off for JT? I was thinking that that was my
• 1:48:50
  next question. I would need J plus.
• 1:48:53
  Yeah, I think you need the plus the points there.
• 1:48:55
  I mean, J's been sick. He's been over a point per game,
• 1:48:56
  like over the. Past what do we expect to be
• 1:48:58
  consistent after like would you do, would you do Caprisa for
• 1:49:01
  like rent and then plus like yeah, a decent plus like rent
• 1:49:06
  and plus a wide. Honestly.
• 1:49:08
  Renting. Rather than plus Batherson.
• 1:49:11
  For sure, yeah, I would do it, yeah.
• 1:49:13
  But I wouldn't do the one for one for once and then.
• 1:49:14
  Yeah, I wouldn't do the one for one, but if you can get the plus
• 1:49:17
  where it's not even a massive plus, but it's just an elite
• 1:49:19
  shooter, even if it's like not. The Robertson.
• 1:49:22
  OK, Yeah, that's not you're talking like one for one or
• 1:49:25
  like. No, but Justin Robertson plus
• 1:49:26
  maybe so I don't think you do that one to one either, right?
• 1:49:29
  No, no, you don't. But like, but yeah, if you get
• 1:49:31
  like, I mean for the rant and plus if you do like Rantanen
• 1:49:34
  plus like I mean, this might be too small A+, but I think like
• 1:49:37
  like think more like smaller, like smaller than that.
• 1:49:41
  Because Renton is like in our leagues ranked higher than
• 1:49:43
  capris off, you know, like yes, he doesn't shoot, but like the
• 1:49:46
  ranked higher. The Pimms help a lot.
• 1:49:49
  Of Brian Rust. He's gotta averages around three
• 1:49:51
  shots a game. I like that ranting and rust
• 1:49:53
  with those playoff schedules. For cool, what about a one?
• 1:49:56
  For one, for me, I still want somebody.
• 1:49:58
  Is it crazy I want somebody better than renting in the
• 1:50:00
  return? I don't think it's crazy.
• 1:50:02
  Like my favorite is caprisa for pasta.
• 1:50:04
  That's like my top target there and you have to throw.
• 1:50:08
  Them plus I just don't give him enough credit.
• 1:50:11
  That's in my mind is shots, yeah.
• 1:50:13
  Like if he shots I would give him way more respect as a
• 1:50:17
  fantasy asset. But Bang Bang.
• 1:50:19
  Shot Yeah, exactly. Alright, let's go to the.
• 1:50:21
  Next worst yeah is that the worst player would be passed or
• 1:50:24
  not they would accept in a one for one.
• 1:50:26
  One for one with Kaprizov. I'm not doing math news.
• 1:50:29
  I'm not doing like these are just I'd rather Kaprizov.
• 1:50:32
  Yeah. Yeah, we're doing, we're doing a
• 1:50:34
  playoff schedule. Flip Yeah card playoff schedule.
• 1:50:37
  The car one for. One Oh yeah, I think that's a.
• 1:50:40
  Good line actually depending on your depending on like team
• 1:50:43
  structure. Obviously it's cross position,
• 1:50:44
  but I would take my. Car.
• 1:50:45
  That's fair, That's fair. Cross about to Cross about to
• 1:50:49
  say Crosby down. I was, yeah, I was thinking
• 1:50:52
  Crosby. But one for one, I think I'd
• 1:50:54
  take it pretty love. What about in a face off once?
• 1:50:58
  I still think I'd take a resolve.
• 1:51:00
  It's very important. Difference could be huge in the
• 1:51:03
  shawls. And there's a big.
• 1:51:04
  Point I would love to do Connor Bidart plus.
• 1:51:06
  Yes, I was gonna say that too. It's just taking everything, all
• 1:51:09
  the words out of my mouth. The plus is massive, but I will
• 1:51:11
  say on the Zuccarello for breathing we were speaking about
• 1:51:14
  earlier, that's actually a really good one.
• 1:51:16
  I know I said I wouldn't do it for the Nashville guys, and as
• 1:51:19
  good as Zuccarello has been, he's been good, but the
• 1:51:20
  Nashville guys have been like better.
• 1:51:23
  Extended period of time. Exactly.
• 1:51:25
  So that's why I'm more apprehensive to send those guys
• 1:51:27
  for Brad. But I think Zuke for Brad is, is
• 1:51:29
  a good trade. Also, Zuccarello was like a top
• 1:51:32
  waiver wire target for us. It's not like he's been like a
• 1:51:34
  mainstay. Yeah.
• 1:51:35
  And these are the last two weeks recently that he's been so good.
• 1:51:38
  So it's a good solid. Alright, let's go to the next
• 1:51:42
  one because this one is fun for me.
• 1:51:44
  Not really fun for me because the playoff schedule sucks, but
• 1:51:47
  we've got Edmonton, so Ryan Nugent Hopkins, Zach Hyman, Evan
• 1:51:51
  Bouchard, Leon Draisaitl, Connor McDavid.
• 1:51:53
  You'll notice that's just the five power play one guys, as
• 1:51:56
  with a lot of these recommendations, you know most
• 1:51:58
  favorite ones. No kidding.
• 1:51:59
  Well, so last as in little one, I want to trade away the.
• 1:52:02
  Least OK, OK. So this is like the the orders,
• 1:52:05
  Yeah, exactly. The orders flipped in terms of
• 1:52:08
  the other one was my top like trade target and this one is
• 1:52:10
  like my one trade away or so. Like Newton Hopkins, I mean, we
• 1:52:13
  highlighted as a cell high for awhile.
• 1:52:16
  I don't think he's been hot enough to be classified as a
• 1:52:17
  cell high, but like I still definitely want him off my team.
• 1:52:20
  Hyman could be a bit of a cell high.
• 1:52:22
  Bouchard we talked about, right? Those one for ones for the same
• 1:52:25
  kind of vibe as Quinn Hughes, right?
• 1:52:27
  You're running for like a car or something like that.
• 1:52:29
  Draisaitl McDavid, the big 2. Who are we sending them?
• 1:52:34
  Is there anyone like other than like who?
• 1:52:35
  Trov, McKinnon, McKinnon. Other than Cohen, McKinnon is
• 1:52:38
  there. There's no one one for one.
• 1:52:39
  Like you're not doing David right.
• 1:52:42
  No, like, even with the playoff schedule.
• 1:52:44
  Different posture, knock 4 dry saddle.
• 1:52:46
  I would take that. OK.
• 1:52:50
  Yeah, I think I would take that as a flicker, especially on face
• 1:52:54
  offs really. I think another drive rather the
• 1:52:57
  Edmonton goes really, we've seen what they can do.
• 1:53:00
  I just. Even on a three-game week.
• 1:53:02
  Yeah, even on a three-game weekly, we saw Josh mentioned
• 1:53:05
  and I feel like one of the recent pause, like David had two
• 1:53:07
  games of straight zeros. In the 5th game we got five
• 1:53:09
  points and then he's like basically 2 points per game on
• 1:53:12
  the week. It's just.
• 1:53:13
  Yeah, I mean. I think I'm also thinking like
• 1:53:17
  the tiebreaker for me is I think Boston's getting worse
• 1:53:20
  throughout the season. I think Edmonton is always gonna
• 1:53:22
  put up goals. Possibly, but it's still big,
• 1:53:26
  David. I think I would I think the two
• 1:53:29
  guys I would maybe rather from our our buy list our past or
• 1:53:34
  not, but I still understand what you're saying and maybe Brady
• 1:53:39
  maybe in a one for one, I don't know, I feel.
• 1:53:42
  Like those guys? Already I would treat ready for
• 1:53:44
  one of those. Guys, Yeah.
• 1:53:46
  I feel like you could like, well, McDavid to me is just kind
• 1:53:49
  of like a league of his own. Although the last few weeks of
• 1:53:51
  Drysol have been nuts. So it's like it's always nuts.
• 1:53:54
  Sludge. Yeah, I don't know.
• 1:53:56
  I think, though, that Brady Brady's a different archetype
• 1:54:00
  completely. But yeah, the fact that he's
• 1:54:02
  still putting up like a point per game over the last month,
• 1:54:05
  plus the crazy back cats, like that's just crazy value.
• 1:54:09
  No shade to radiate, just these are like 2 of the top like if.
• 1:54:12
  Not, I suppose, barring, I suppose Pasternak's the only one
• 1:54:15
  where I would do one maybe. But then again, I'm like, I kind
• 1:54:19
  of like Brady more than Pasternak in some ways.
• 1:54:20
  I don't know. It's tough.
• 1:54:22
  So I suppose if you could get a bothersome level plus classic in
• 1:54:27
  addition to Brady or Pasternak that I'm taking and I'm happy in
• 1:54:32
  return for dry. Dry title, yeah.
• 1:54:34
  Not McDavid, though. McDavid.
• 1:54:36
  I get it. We're talking full bangers.
• 1:54:38
  League guys would like pimps and hits blocks face off with yeah.
• 1:54:41
  Big, big important caveat. There, that's honestly right now
• 1:54:45
  me as the McDavid and tricycle owner, I haven't been shopping
• 1:54:49
  dry Seidel just I think he's like really important in the
• 1:54:51
  face off wins leagues. Yeah um, he's when that's
• 1:54:53
  already on his own. Yeah, exactly.
• 1:54:56
  But like I have been shopping with David for a bit because the
• 1:54:58
  playoff schedule but like my price is ridiculously high.
• 1:55:01
  I'm looking for three studs in return.
• 1:55:04
  So I think I can get too easily from anyone.
• 1:55:07
  Most people aren't willing to give me the third.
• 1:55:09
  And you don't like this is like the best player in the league,
• 1:55:12
  right. Ignoring playoff schedule like
• 1:55:14
  he's the best player in the league.
• 1:55:16
  I mean, yeah, it's like, you know, number one.
• 1:55:19
  And to be clear, those are not the studs that you're trying to
• 1:55:21
  trade. You're not asking for McKinnon
• 1:55:23
  plus two other good players. No, no, no.
• 1:55:24
  You're asking for more reasonable like you.
• 1:55:26
  Mentioned, yeah. The one before.
• 1:55:28
  With like 3 guys who are like, I want 299 + 100 point percent
• 1:55:33
  rostered guys and then like one maybe like 90 or like high 80s,
• 1:55:37
  like something like that. Asking for a lot.
• 1:55:40
  Yeah. But like, but like, The thing is
• 1:55:43
  this ties into like the not overpaying to get rid of a bad
• 1:55:45
  playoff schedule, right? Like you can't fumble the bag on
• 1:55:47
  McDavid trade that'll cost you your season.
• 1:55:49
  You know, there's some other you could fumble the bag on a Nick
• 1:55:51
  Smoltz trade and you could still survive the season, you know
• 1:55:53
  what I mean? Like so it's like you have to
• 1:55:55
  like get the right. Price.
• 1:55:58
  No traditional, uh, but yeah. So it's definitely a tough spot
• 1:56:01
  to be in. I'm probably just gonna end up
• 1:56:03
  holding both because I don't think anyone willing to match my
• 1:56:05
  price. And that's just, that's the
• 1:56:07
  reality of it is don't dip your price just to get the trade
• 1:56:10
  done, just to have one or two more games over the course of
• 1:56:13
  the playoffs. What would it take from Jake's
• 1:56:15
  team to get to make David trade done?
• 1:56:17
  For you, I mean, I don't think there's any way I would give
• 1:56:20
  McDavid if I'm not getting coached back from his team.
• 1:56:23
  Like you wanna do matches plus. I mean like who would the plus
• 1:56:27
  be? Goes Jarvis.
• 1:56:29
  I'm not. Doing that with you?
• 1:56:31
  I don't think so. Wow, really?
• 1:56:33
  I think that's. I mean, I think, you know, like
• 1:56:37
  that's a fair price. Like I like, I mean, I'd have to
• 1:56:40
  think about it again. Like it's not the type of thing
• 1:56:42
  you split and I don't even think you're offering it, but like
• 1:56:44
  that's what I mean, that's what I'm looking for like 3, you
• 1:56:47
  know, like 90 plus roster guys with at least one being like a.
• 1:56:51
  First rounder, yeah. Which I know is a high price,
• 1:56:54
  but like you shouldn't be trading with David for for not a
• 1:56:57
  ridiculous price. Yeah, you know.
• 1:56:59
  Alright, let's go to the last one, which is a bit less
• 1:57:02
  exciting. We have Seattle.
• 1:57:04
  Really, there's not much trade value here.
• 1:57:06
  The main thing is Jared McCann in terms of a cell high.
• 1:57:09
  And then I put Vince Dunn also because he's been a decent.
• 1:57:12
  We've mentioned Jeremy can already as a couple guys like
• 1:57:15
  you can trade them for. I do wanna touch like people
• 1:57:17
  have nude people have hymen. We didn't give those guys any
• 1:57:20
  info names. Those are the guys probably
• 1:57:22
  trading away if you have them. Are you 100% for Nuge?
• 1:57:27
  There's so many guys that I would take.
• 1:57:29
  Just like he's like, we went to the whole list before.
• 1:57:31
  Like, you know, I think if you get Drake Batherson, you're
• 1:57:34
  happy. Fantilli, bro.
• 1:57:35
  Horvat. Yeah.
• 1:57:36
  What did you do? Secrets.
• 1:57:37
  Or is that too low? Nanti Altegris with the playoff
• 1:57:40
  schedule. OK.
• 1:57:40
  Brian Russ I think is a fantastic treat.
• 1:57:42
  If you like Rust, yeah. Would you take a Lifeline home
• 1:57:46
  or is that Allison? I think I'd take a license home.
• 1:57:49
  Yeah. With the players have been like
• 1:57:50
  he's been OK, but he hasn't been.
• 1:57:52
  Yeah, yeah. He's also been line three since
• 1:57:53
  like everyone got healthy. Like she's still power play one,
• 1:57:56
  but like he doesn't do anything for Black Cats.
• 1:57:58
  He's just a powerfully merchant with the bad.
• 1:58:00
  Like Hyman is a tough one. He's been really, really good.
• 1:58:05
  Hi Mandy. Still taking two extra games of
• 1:58:09
  bathers in essence also have an elite power play.
• 1:58:14
  I don't know, I feel like I feel like I would go Batterson for
• 1:58:17
  the extra 2 games, but I think like you can get Batherson plus.
• 1:58:20
  Like at this point right now maybe.
• 1:58:22
  I would take Point, I would take Horvat, I would take Johnston.
• 1:58:27
  Um, and we're just like hiding the by laws that we mentioned,
• 1:58:29
  but there's a lot of other guys on this list like, yeah, I
• 1:58:32
  would. We're trying to say once we can
• 1:58:33
  actually actually reasonably get.
• 1:58:35
  Yeah. I think Barzal's been too hot.
• 1:58:40
  Yeah. I mean, that's not a bad thing,
• 1:58:41
  right? Like would you take him over
• 1:58:43
  over hymen? There's a world where you could
• 1:58:45
  do hymen plus a mini thing for like a natus with the nature of
• 1:58:49
  the data they leading into the Olympic break.
• 1:58:52
  That's right, yeah, Jack Hughes. Yep, that'd be that'd be great.
• 1:58:58
  Yeah. And then yeah, Seattle like we
• 1:59:00
  mentioned to mechanic, we already we already mentioned
• 1:59:02
  guys from and Vince Dunn who are some defensemen that you.
• 1:59:05
  Know that's been on fire. Yeah.
• 1:59:08
  Something about trading away. Can you get it he skin or that's
• 1:59:11
  too high? Probably.
• 1:59:12
  I think I would like to do Vince Dunn plus for his skin and.
• 1:59:15
  I like that. It's just it's tough cause a lot
• 1:59:18
  of these defences have been on fire.
• 1:59:19
  Schaefer I think you could you can try.
• 1:59:22
  Boy. I think he's been so hot.
• 1:59:24
  It's just tough, you know? Like I would love that,
• 1:59:26
  obviously. Eric Carlson, he's not been hot.
• 1:59:29
  Yeah, I would love to do that. Adam Fox, if you can swing that,
• 1:59:32
  I think could be sick, that would be a good one.
• 1:59:35
  So, uh, these are all great options, but that's our that's
• 1:59:38
  the players to trade away. Should we get into the goalie
• 1:59:41
  rankings? Yeah.
• 1:59:43
  Alright, so the way this these rankings were done is a bit
• 1:59:45
  differently than the general team rankings.
• 1:59:47
  So here instead of taking into account off nights as our extra
• 1:59:51
  bonus, I take into account good matchups.
• 1:59:53
  So the way that we calculated good matchups is sorted
• 1:59:58
  essentially the teams by goals 4 per game and also by like
• 2:00:02
  standings and used a bit of a bit of subjectivity.
• 2:00:06
  Also just unlike where we see kind of things shaking out
• 2:00:08
  between now and the end of the season and came up with a top
• 2:00:11
  ten like bottom teams in the league.
• 2:00:13
  And then I considered those teams good matchups based on
• 2:00:16
  that stuff. And so then the way like we did
• 2:00:19
  the calculation here is a games played is worth one point.
• 2:00:22
  And then here I actually gave a lot more value than I did to off
• 2:00:24
  nights office valuable. But at the end of the day, it's
• 2:00:27
  more it's not like crazy like games played is more important
• 2:00:30
  here with goalies. I think quality matchups is
• 2:00:32
  really important. Actually made it .75.
• 2:00:34
  So every game is played is 1 every good matchups .75.
• 2:00:38
  Add that all together that it per week and then combine that
• 2:00:40
  all together and you get the ranking for each team.
• 2:00:42
  And one thing to note, your games played, I also subtracted
• 2:00:45
  any back to backs because goalies aren't gonna play on
• 2:00:47
  back to backs, smart. So this is how many goalies, how
• 2:00:50
  many games gonna play, how many are gonna be good matchups
• 2:00:53
  ranked by that kind of calculation.
• 2:00:55
  And it's a pretty interesting kind of what we ended up with
• 2:00:58
  so. Darcy Kemper is the best goal in
• 2:01:00
  the league. He is in the eight years.
• 2:01:03
  So this one is split just in like like good, like great, like
• 2:01:07
  mid and bad. Instead of listing every team in
• 2:01:09
  the, I'm just gonna list the great ones and the bad ones and
• 2:01:12
  then people can figure out the rest if they're not mentioned.
• 2:01:14
  So the top teams we've got Colorado, Chicago Rangers,
• 2:01:20
  Anaheim, San Jose, Tampa, Washington, LA.
• 2:01:24
  There's the top, the top ones in that order, and then bottom ones
• 2:01:28
  we have from. Should I do from bottom to top
• 2:01:31
  and I'll do from top to? Bottom from doing the best worst
• 2:01:34
  team to the worst worst team. Yes, exactly.
• 2:01:36
  So we've got Pittsburgh, Buffalo Islanders, Utah, Carolina,
• 2:01:41
  Ottawa, Philly, Toronto. And then kind of taking from
• 2:01:46
  those lists of the top boys and bottom bullies, I didn't include
• 2:01:49
  guys who are in timeshares or might not be the starter
• 2:01:52
  because. Ambiguous.
• 2:01:54
  Situation exactly. Yeah, but so top goalies from
• 2:01:57
  these lists. These goals are all tops.
• 2:02:00
  Yeah, exactly, McKenzie. And this isn't, this isn't the
• 2:02:05
  order of the team strength, not in order of the goalie strength.
• 2:02:08
  We have Mackenzie Blackwood, Spencer Knight, Igor Chesterton,
• 2:02:11
  Lukas Dostal, Andre Vasilevsky, Logan Thompson and Darcy Kemper.
• 2:02:15
  So that's 81234567 goalies that I would be targeting for playoff
• 2:02:20
  schedule. Now, if we're looking at, you
• 2:02:22
  know, who's the best goal, it's obviously Vasilevsky, right
• 2:02:26
  After that, I'd probably put Blackwood as the as the second.
• 2:02:30
  But like, I mean, at this point, I feel like he's taken over,
• 2:02:32
  going to split anymore. He's getting he's getting all
• 2:02:35
  the starts. Who you guys put at third,
• 2:02:36
  Justin? Even with the Rangers sucking.
• 2:02:39
  To me, it's close between Chesterton and Logan Thompson.
• 2:02:42
  Yeah, yeah. So let's say.
• 2:02:44
  We think I'm leaning on Thompson because they're actually
• 2:02:48
  ambiguity with the Rangers losing a lot of games and stuff.
• 2:02:51
  Yeah. So say we go vastly Blackwood
• 2:02:53
  Thompson, then she's Durkin, then I'd put Kemper, then I'd
• 2:02:56
  put Dostal, and then I'd put Knight.
• 2:02:58
  I think that's kind of how I'd rank those guys.
• 2:03:00
  Yeah, exactly. But like some of these can be
• 2:03:03
  gotten for very reasonable prices and like these are nice
• 2:03:07
  playoff schedules. Like I'm looking it's the most
• 2:03:09
  attainable ones. I mean, just the injury and the
• 2:03:11
  Ranger sucks. So I think that you can, that
• 2:03:13
  could be attainable. Sure.
• 2:03:15
  Spencer Knight has not been great.
• 2:03:16
  I think you can, you can, you can attain, you can get him.
• 2:03:19
  Darcy Kemper has been garbage. I think he's very attainable.
• 2:03:23
  I think the Panarin trade also helps him a lot.
• 2:03:25
  And then Dolls actually been really good.
• 2:03:27
  But I think that he's still pretty attainable because of how
• 2:03:29
  bad he was before. That huge turnaround.
• 2:03:31
  Yeah, Yeah. I think how I want to proceed
• 2:03:34
  the situation though, if you have a goal on your offer that
• 2:03:36
  was in this list that Josh just listed as the top goalies, like
• 2:03:39
  you should be confident going into the playoffs that you have
• 2:03:42
  a good situation at least with one of your goalies.
• 2:03:44
  Obviously, if you have so you already knew you had a good
• 2:03:46
  situation. If you have Black, you already
• 2:03:47
  knew. But like if you have the
• 2:03:48
  Knights, the Lucas, those styles, the Thompsons, the
• 2:03:50
  Kempers, like just better days ahead for these guys.
• 2:03:53
  They're going to be valuable come playoff time.
• 2:03:54
  I think we should go to the bottom goalies and then see what
• 2:03:57
  kind of flips you would like. To be OK, so these goalies are
• 2:04:00
  all bottoms. Brandon Bussey.
• 2:04:05
  It's on this list from the Carolina Hurricanes.
• 2:04:08
  Yeah, but yeah, so this is from the.
• 2:04:12
  We've got Joseph Wall, Dan Feldar, Linus Omark, Brandon
• 2:04:15
  Bossy, Carol from Melka Ilias Rockin, Alex Lyon and Stuart
• 2:04:19
  Skinner. Sorry Jackie, both of your
• 2:04:21
  goalies are on this list. You have me.
• 2:04:26
  I was doing this and I was like, Jake's gonna feel like I'm
• 2:04:28
  targeting him, but it's just numbers.
• 2:04:30
  Examples. None of my goalies around this.
• 2:04:32
  One so you San Jose actually was in the top one but didn't
• 2:04:34
  include ask groups. I feel like it's like an
• 2:04:36
  ambiguous situation with like a Ned.
• 2:04:38
  I still give him a better shot than not being.
• 2:04:40
  For sure like we can toss them on the top ones but like I.
• 2:04:43
  Just quit. Yeah.
• 2:04:49
  So, yeah. So what do you think?
• 2:04:51
  Yeah, in this situation, I'm looking at at these these guys
• 2:04:55
  and I'm taking Brandon Bussey and Stuart Skinner for for
• 2:04:58
  personal reasons outside of this because I'm not saying I'm doing
• 2:05:01
  this. I don't want to open this up for
• 2:05:02
  account of worms for a Darcy Kemper trade, Josh, But I really
• 2:05:06
  do like like I think you were mentioning earlier about your
• 2:05:10
  perspective on brat. It's kind of all or nothing.
• 2:05:12
  Either you win or you lose. And most of these guys if you
• 2:05:16
  send for Darcy Kemper, you can expect like it's really like it
• 2:05:21
  could be huge to end your season could be massive for you
• 2:05:24
  Kempers. I agree the Best Buy low of the
• 2:05:27
  top goalies in like the the best playoff schedule ones.
• 2:05:30
  And yes, Sorokin Canada stronger finish is it is what it is, even
• 2:05:36
  though I think the Islanders are overperforming and.
• 2:05:38
  Broken has been ranked 15th in our league, Yeah.
• 2:05:42
  Artistic shots will do a guy. I know, but that's the thing,
• 2:05:46
  like I feel like he's the one that is sorry, I don't wanna
• 2:05:48
  interrupt you, Jake, but it was like it was good.
• 2:05:50
  So Sorokin has been the guy that like everybody's we keep saying
• 2:05:54
  to sell him because he's been so good, but then people are just
• 2:05:57
  like, I can't believe you tell me to sell this guy.
• 2:05:59
  He's been like the best goalie in fantasy for so long that I'm
• 2:06:01
  just like, you know, somebody just sold them for for Gustafson
• 2:06:05
  and it was like a 2 for two trade and I'm happy about that.
• 2:06:08
  Like a long term. I feel like that's a win.
• 2:06:10
  But then Sorokin went out and had a great game, too.
• 2:06:12
  And he's just like, you know, like you didn't train him for
• 2:06:15
  one game. You traded him for the future.
• 2:06:17
  But at the end of the day, it's also like, I don't know.
• 2:06:20
  Yeah, but I think most of these guys I'm trading for Kimber.
• 2:06:24
  What do you think? I you could get camper plus and
• 2:06:28
  I would ask for that. Yeah, like Sorokin, Sorokin not
• 2:06:31
  doing that one for one and busy. I think you can get Kemper plus
• 2:06:34
  the other ones. I don't think you.
• 2:06:36
  Can support person yes for all those guys yeah it just works
• 2:06:41
  every. Time.
• 2:06:42
  It's crazy. Yeah.
• 2:06:43
  It's nice. Yeah, Some other names.
• 2:06:47
  Spencer and I have some other changes.
• 2:06:49
  Like I wouldn't like, and I get it why they're there, but like
• 2:06:52
  what? I trade Stuart Skinner for
• 2:06:54
  Spencer Night and I'm just kind of dealing with like
• 2:06:56
  questionable situations on both of these.
• 2:06:57
  Like I'm apprehensive to do that.
• 2:06:59
  I think I would do that too. I wouldn't trade buzzy for
• 2:07:02
  night, but I would trade scanner for night.
• 2:07:05
  Affair. So that's kind of like one of
• 2:07:07
  those where it really becomes about the schedule optimization
• 2:07:10
  as opposed to the skill slash team, because I believe in
• 2:07:12
  Pittsburgh way more than Chicago.
• 2:07:13
  I was gonna say out of these bottom goalies, the ones that
• 2:07:16
  I'm like not super upset about having that are in the bottom
• 2:07:18
  situation are busy for sure, Sorokin and I'm putting in there
• 2:07:22
  too. Yeah, those are the kind of guys
• 2:07:25
  I'm like happy. I'm not happy, but I'm not
• 2:07:27
  devastated. They're they're here.
• 2:07:28
  You know what I mean? Like I still probably rather
• 2:07:30
  these guys over some of the guys that we haven't even talked
• 2:07:32
  about in like that middle. Range so to use your your
• 2:07:36
  language over here. Should I be more devastated that
• 2:07:38
  I've Stuart Skinner or Fabians that are living?
• 2:07:42
  The answer is always Netherlands.
• 2:07:46
  Yeah. You could cut it for an IR
• 2:07:48
  stash. That'd be say that by a better
• 2:07:50
  movie. I don't even need it.
• 2:07:52
  So you're saying if I have an open IR spot I should cut
• 2:07:55
  Zetterling to pick up someone on IR?
• 2:07:57
  Just have an open healthy roster spot.
• 2:07:59
  I think that would be more value in the long term.
• 2:08:02
  Yes. Back to the goalies, we cannot
• 2:08:06
  keep doing that airline stuff included Lion, but it is a bit,
• 2:08:10
  you know, murky about what's gonna happen when PPL comes
• 2:08:13
  back. He is missing the Olympics,
• 2:08:14
  which means he's not guaranteed to just come back immediately.
• 2:08:16
  And line has been a monster. Jake said he was going to be a
• 2:08:19
  season winning pick up. So I grabbed him.
• 2:08:22
  So but now it's like if he gets the starts, I put him not in the
• 2:08:25
  same tier, but like the same kind of vibe as like a stroke
• 2:08:28
  and busy and Velka where like even though he's gonna have
• 2:08:30
  tough matchups, I still, I mean, it's crazy to say I still trust
• 2:08:33
  the sabers to win a lot of games.
• 2:08:35
  I know it's like, like, what year is this?
• 2:08:37
  How do we get here? But uh, yeah, But yeah, so I'm
• 2:08:39
  seeing with Skinner, right. Like my thing with like Lion and
• 2:08:42
  Skinner is that like, even though I think they're both like
• 2:08:45
  the 1A and it's gonna be more than Lion, like more has like a
• 2:08:48
  bigger share. They still don't seem to want to
• 2:08:51
  give them a full starters like workload, right.
• 2:08:54
  Like Skinner could be like a shutdown, still play like she
• 2:08:57
  loves like a game or two later, you know, like it's it's just
• 2:09:00
  the way they want to split up the duties.
• 2:09:01
  Lying obviously is way more ambiguous than Skinner, but kind
• 2:09:04
  of same idea. So so those are ones that like
• 2:09:08
  maybe maybe it could be good to move off of.
• 2:09:10
  And then wall has been pretty sick, right.
• 2:09:12
  That was one I would love to trade away, especially stores
• 2:09:14
  coming back. Like that's like what my top
• 2:09:16
  guided trade away and the bar I just don't necessarily think has
• 2:09:19
  the most trade value, but if you can get value for him, I love
• 2:09:22
  that. And then big squishy Lienas,
• 2:09:25
  people like we've been saying, like, you know, we think better
• 2:09:27
  days are ahead for him. And I do, yeah.
• 2:09:29
  But they do have a tough playoff schedule.
• 2:09:31
  And if he was so bad for so long, but then he came back and
• 2:09:34
  had like a really good game. So like if you can get value.
• 2:09:36
  Out mid game after. That then he had a mid game like
• 2:09:39
  if you can do leanest for Kemper I would do that for sure.
• 2:09:41
  I don't think you can do that. Even without bad campers been.
• 2:09:45
  I feel like because of all Mark is still missing time too.
• 2:09:48
  Like he was sick he missed the game.
• 2:09:49
  Like it's just it adds to. The OK, what about?
• 2:09:51
  What about Linus? For Dostal I would.
• 2:09:53
  Do I would do that? I don't know if you can do that
• 2:09:55
  though, because. It's been really hot.
• 2:09:57
  But to me it's like. I guess he's been.
• 2:09:59
  No, that's too. Good.
• 2:09:59
  Yeah. To me, it's mainly from this
• 2:10:01
  list. I wanna trade away Wall, I wanna
• 2:10:03
  trade with Line. I wanna trade away Skinner and
• 2:10:05
  these guys. I'm trading away for better
• 2:10:09
  schedules. Like if you can get a jet
• 2:10:11
  Grieves, I would be really happy about that.
• 2:10:13
  I know Grieves has been in a timeshare of himself so I feel
• 2:10:15
  like his values are maybe not as good, but like, would you trade
• 2:10:19
  all of these guys like Broski? All the bottom goalies.
• 2:10:25
  Not all the ones that I mentioned.
• 2:10:26
  I don't. I would.
• 2:10:27
  I'd rather have Sorokin for Bobrovsky.
• 2:10:28
  I feel like I see that's being too low so I'm just keeping that
• 2:10:31
  guy. But I would do Valdar Wall
• 2:10:34
  Skinner line hallmark for Bob. Tara has been really angry at me
• 2:10:37
  because I keep telling her not to cut Bobrovsky and she also
• 2:10:42
  has a hella buck and she's been just kind of going through it
• 2:10:45
  with both of those guys so. It's tough to be in.
• 2:10:48
  It's tough. Tarasov just got hurt, so
• 2:10:51
  that's. One thing the problem wasn't the
• 2:10:53
  amount of Bob was playing, problem was the quality was
• 2:10:56
  really bad. Yeah, it's still Florida,
• 2:10:58
  though. We still think they're gonna
• 2:10:59
  make a big push after, you know, after the play, after Olympic
• 2:11:03
  break. Hopefully Seth Jones comes back.
• 2:11:05
  That should help. But yeah, definitely.
• 2:11:08
  It looks grim right now, but there's still rather Bob over a
• 2:11:10
  lot of these goalies. Yeah, I mean, we can't touch on
• 2:11:13
  all the goals because honestly, goalie is so volatile.
• 2:11:15
  There's a lot of names that we could talk about.
• 2:11:16
  There's it's just a crazy situation.
• 2:11:19
  But these are the names that I thought we would highlight for
• 2:11:21
  top guys that I'm happy to have on my roster going into the
• 2:11:23
  playoffs, guys that I'm trying to move off of going into the
• 2:11:26
  playoffs. And I think that's why.
• 2:11:27
  Yeah. I do think like not being
• 2:11:30
  biased, but just looking at this list, I think Kemper is the best
• 2:11:32
  target because his value is the lowest and I think his
• 2:11:35
  potential, his potential compared to his value is the
• 2:11:37
  highest. And they're just so you know
• 2:11:39
  that I try to win games going into the end of the season.
• 2:11:42
  Yeah, I was so happy with that. I was, I was like, that's a sign
• 2:11:46
  that like you said, like it was a question, right?
• 2:11:47
  They were like, we don't know, we wanna be on, you know, we're
• 2:11:49
  buying or selling, buying Panera and they're like, we are buying
• 2:11:52
  or going for it. And and their issue has been a
• 2:11:55
  lot of scoring goals. So that should help.
• 2:11:56
  And then who's the bottom goalie that like you're trying to sell
• 2:11:59
  the most, not just because there was like who also has the most
• 2:12:01
  value right now? I feel like you can like, I
• 2:12:04
  mean, we talked about his broken, right?
• 2:12:05
  Like this is not like like obviously there's I'd rather him
• 2:12:08
  over pretty much any of those other guys on the list, or most
• 2:12:11
  of them at least. But I think his value so high
• 2:12:13
  right now and with the bad schedule, like I think you
• 2:12:15
  really gotta try and sell them for one of those top guys.
• 2:12:17
  Yeah, like obviously Vasilevsky is the one we want the most from
• 2:12:21
  the top goal. He's unattainable.
• 2:12:22
  The heart, he's the hardest to get, but I don't know if he's
• 2:12:26
  unattainable. If you do like a Sorokin Plus
• 2:12:29
  necessarily, it's got to be a hefty plus.
• 2:12:31
  Like a Batherson. I actually even think there's.
• 2:12:36
  Some to get this one done. Yeah, I think you're gonna have
• 2:12:39
  to give more. I think what I would do is pair
• 2:12:41
  him with one of our top trade away targets.
• 2:12:43
  Like maybe I'll say Hyman. That's a that's a great one I
• 2:12:48
  love. I think that's reasonable.
• 2:12:51
  Counter two, yeah. Wine O'Reilly.
• 2:12:54
  Yeah, I mean, I just don't think these are enough.
• 2:12:56
  Some of these are enough to get it done.
• 2:12:57
  Alright, Yeah, that one could possibly get done.
• 2:13:02
  It depends. Obviously, if the guy has
• 2:13:03
  another great goalie with Vasilevski, it makes it more
• 2:13:05
  likely to get done. If Maslow's kinda holding his
• 2:13:07
  team together like in our league.
• 2:13:09
  The Vase owner also has Bob. He's never gonna trade Basilisk.
• 2:13:11
  Rangers with face off? So if you do have like an
• 2:13:13
  ericson neck and a sorokin for vass.
• 2:13:15
  Oof, I don't think that gets done.
• 2:13:18
  Really. I don't think so.
• 2:13:20
  Really. I don't know.
• 2:13:21
  I think that's. Yeah, I think the Hymen 1 is
• 2:13:25
  definitely the best chance. Alright, that was a good one.
• 2:13:28
  This is week 21 to 23 in the books.
• 2:13:32
  Everything you need right here in the last two hours of
• 2:13:35
  content. That was really good content.
• 2:13:38
  Like not just like, I think if I was a viewer like this would be
• 2:13:41
  like my favorite episode of the year.
• 2:13:43
  I don't wanna brag, but last year the playoff primary episode
• 2:13:46
  that we did was our by far most popular episode.
• 2:13:49
  So hopefully the playoff primary episode this year is.
• 2:13:52
  Just better this year is like we did a lot of good research on
• 2:13:56
  this one, not that we didn't last year, but I think we're
• 2:13:58
  just getting better and better with our contents as well.
• 2:14:01
  Yeah. And then sometime next week
• 2:14:03
  we're gonna drop the week 22 to 24 playoff primer, this week 21
• 2:14:07
  to 23. It's going to be different
• 2:14:09
  strategy, different names. It's going to be they're both
• 2:14:12
  going to be valuable depending on your league settings, of
• 2:14:13
  course. I I think this one is is really
• 2:14:17
  good because it's it's less team dependent in a way of sort of
• 2:14:21
  like, you know, of a teams fighting for the playoffs or
• 2:14:23
  just like like, you know, something like that.
• 2:14:25
  It's this is really about the players and we get the big deep
• 2:14:29
  dive into the players here and the goalies and the strategy and
• 2:14:32
  they're yeah, there's a lot of content.
• 2:14:34
  There's a lot of names. It will be timestamped, as Kevin
• 2:14:36
  alluded to on top, either good old prefetch over there.
• 2:14:40
  But I think, yeah, I mean, hopefully this really helps.
• 2:14:43
  And last thing I'll say on this and you'll tell me if you guys
• 2:14:45
  agree this, it's similar to what you said at the beginning also,
• 2:14:50
  but not many people think about playoff schedule.
• 2:14:53
  Like I've been playing fantasy for 10 years and was only like
• 2:14:56
  2-3 years ago that I really started thinking about it.
• 2:14:58
  And this year where I actually consciously started optimizing
• 2:15:01
  for it. This is going to give you a big
• 2:15:02
  advantage in your league because for most leagues, prizes are
• 2:15:05
  given out depending on sometimes it's more seasoned, but usually
• 2:15:09
  it's the playoff winner is the big fantasy winner and that's
• 2:15:11
  where you have the bragging rights for years, etc.
• 2:15:14
  So I think that it's one of those that I really hope that
• 2:15:17
  those who listen to this digested all the information,
• 2:15:20
  even though there was a lot, it helps for your leagues and then
• 2:15:22
  this really just helped you win the Championship.
• 2:15:24
  I think it really depends on how competitive your league is cuz I
• 2:15:27
  think our league of record when I mean Josh and I joined like
• 2:15:30
  four or five years ago, I think we made a more competitive.
• 2:15:33
  I think, I mean Josh won like three years in a row and if I
• 2:15:37
  was a runner up, Jake was runner up.
• 2:15:39
  So I think when the league gets more competitive, you're trying
• 2:15:42
  to find an extra edge on like how you can get better.
• 2:15:45
  So I think that leads to, you know, trying to find that extra
• 2:15:47
  edge, and the extra edge starts at the playoff schedule, so.
• 2:15:50
  Absolutely. I will say in our league
• 2:15:52
  specifically, I know for I don't know about Kevin, if you were
• 2:15:56
  always thinking about it, I know I was thinking about it from day
• 2:15:58
  one. I know for a fact no one else
• 2:15:59
  was thinking about. Yeah.
• 2:16:02
  So like I definitely used to have and to the first, the first
• 2:16:05
  couple years that I was in the league, like I noticed a shift
• 2:16:07
  specifically last year that other people kind of like
• 2:16:10
  outside of us three became wise to looking at playoff schedule
• 2:16:13
  because I would see trades happen and in my mind would be
• 2:16:15
  like, that makes perfect sense if you know, like it only makes
• 2:16:18
  sense if you're doing it for playoff schedule.
• 2:16:19
  So, so yeah. So that kind of like, kind of
• 2:16:23
  like if you're the first person to catch on before everyone else
• 2:16:26
  does, you can win 3 shifts in a row, trips in a row, you know,
• 2:16:28
  like, but uh, no, but you know. There's a reason for that.
• 2:16:37
  Yeah, well, I had a good time, but now everyone knows about it,
• 2:16:40
  so I have to find another way to get an.
• 2:16:41
  Advantage, but it's really. Great all getting everybody the
• 2:16:44
  four players. Yeah, it has an element and I
• 2:16:49
  think it makes it a lot more fun, so.
• 2:16:51
  No celebrity talk on this episode.
• 2:16:53
  No seller, it's true. It's just.
• 2:16:55
  In the middle, the middle group of 10 of 10 game teams, but for
• 2:17:00
  the next 22 to 24 he will be in. There.
• 2:17:03
  All right, let's wrap. It up looking forward to it.
