0:03
podcast. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
0:07
Nice Welcome in Welcome all to Bangor management, the fantasy
0:11
hockey podcast with Jake, Josh and Kevin today.
0:17
We love this episode. Our week 10 by low sell high.
0:22
We're we're almost halfway into the season, so it's getting a
0:26
little tougher followed by Lowe's.
0:28
Yeah. It's like slightly over.
0:31
Halfway would be Week 11 1/2 so. Right we are.
0:36
All Yeah, there we go. That classifies as almost.
0:43
Almost as doing a lot of heavy lifting.
0:44
But yes, we're on. Kevin just knows the Bilo Cell
0:47
High episode. He's like, I have to disagree
0:48
with Jake no matter what he says.
0:49
Yeah, because. We're gonna agree on all his
0:52
picks today, so I have to disagree somewhere.
0:53
Yeah, it's true. Don't disagree too much here.
0:57
Like cameras gonna lock out again.
1:00
I can't believe you just put that into the universe.
1:02
Wow, if something happens they blame Josh.
1:06
It's confirmed. That's fair, I'll take it.
1:09
Honestly, I'm fine with blaming Josh after after the absolute.
1:13
Let's get. Let's not get into.
1:14
Pulling. I feel like every episode we're
1:16
like Josh has another first round pick, Josh has another
1:19
first round. We just pulled a tick tock of of
1:22
Josh getting like Austin Matthews and then like his three
1:24
top players now have to do another one because it's gonna
1:26
be like, OK, it's four top players now.
1:29
Yeah, and then snapping his finger and then half the world
1:31
just disappeared. I need one more Infinity stone.
1:37
And and I have Kucherov who's just dealing with a small
1:40
injuries, so I I can already feel the trades incoming.
1:44
You're saying you don't want Burakovsky plus Dougie Hamilton
1:49
plus insert like guy just got picked up here?
1:53
Every time I actually, I told Josh I need every single player
1:57
on his team and I'm still not accepting it other than the top
1:59
4, but we're going to get into the top four.
2:01
You're going to talk about that unfortunately in your cell high
2:04
section. But anyway, not to no spoilers

2:38
Let's start with a 2 weeks ago date.
2:40
OK, let's dive into our two weeks ago update our bylaws from
2:45
2 weeks ago, we had Jake Sanderson.
2:48
Since then, seven games played, three goals, 6 assists, 9
2:52
points. I think it's safe to say the
2:54
Bilo window has closed. I really hope that a lot of our
2:57
viewers were able to pull this off because his potential is so
2:59
high. He was my signature pick at the
3:01
start of the season and they're just going boat goes up.
3:04
So I hope you, I hope you grab my other chance.
3:07
Yeah, exactly. It still makes no sense, but.
3:11
You mean what goes? Up.
3:13
Yeah, it's the opposite of what goes down.
3:15
It's it's pretty amazing. For all new listeners, boat goes
3:18
up means that player is going to increase in value because as the
3:23
boat goes up, when the water goes up, the boat goes up, value
3:26
goes up. It's it's just science.
3:29
Yeah, it's more topography and or you know, it's what the
3:32
viewers want. So yeah, exactly.
3:36
And then we add Jesper Bratt. Since then, eight games played,
3:39
zero goals, 8 assists, eight points point per game.
3:41
Still has more both upward Ness to go, but I still think that.
3:46
So you still have Milo, but he's not as much of A buy low as he
3:49
was two weeks ago. He's going to game.
3:52
Yeah, it's great. And like zero goals.
3:54
Like if you add one or two of those goals, like he's looking
3:56
even way better. Yeah, and this is like classic,
3:58
like anytime a guy has almost all his points being goals,
4:02
Kevin's always flags that he's like, that's unsustainable.
4:04
The guys gonna vote goes down, you know.
4:06
But when a guy has zero goals, therefore the opposite is, you
4:10
know, a goal. A guy like this is not gonna
4:12
score zero goals. I know he's a playmaker, but he
4:14
also is a goal scorer. So.
4:15
So yeah, that's another one that if you can get in on it now,
4:18
it's still a good opportunity. And New Jersey just got shut out
4:21
in back-to-back games, so that's already just, you know, asterisk
4:25
there, meaning, like, no. That's about to pop off.
4:27
Yeah, exactly. And then lastly, but not
4:31
leastly, we have Alexy, Protists of the Washington Capitals.
4:34
Since then, he put up eight games, played three goals, 3
4:38
assists, 6 points. And I know that Jake's pretty
4:42
smug about this because Kevin roasted him and Kevin saying
4:47
that this is exactly what he predicted for Protists.
4:49
So. I said products would get
4:51
points, 7.75 points per game, no power play points and like two
4:54
shots with no banger categories. No, he's averaging over the last
4:57
two weeks he's averaging .75 points, 0 probably points, two
5:01
shots, 0 bigger categories. So.
5:03
Five games. The last five games he's
5:06
averaging about 20 minutes a night. 1 short handed point he
5:08
got in those games. How many?
5:10
Probably points. Zero, but that's OK.
5:13
Yeah, but I. Don't like the whole argument
5:15
was like, he's not going to get ever.
5:17
He's never gonna get any power play points.
5:19
I'd rather the shorthanded point.
5:21
I don't know about you and he's still playing around 20 minutes
5:23
tonight so he was bound to update.
5:25
Not to mention his roster percentage also has also flown
5:27
like 15% since then. So he's boat goes up and.
5:32
Is he not doing exactly what I said he was going to do?
5:34
Though he's like, he's so big that he's more like Godzilla
5:38
coming out of the sea. With no power play points.
5:42
God, look at least one power play point.
5:44
I'm. Sure, Jenny related things.
5:47
Like, I spoke to his doctor and I heard he actually grew a few
5:49
inches over the past two weeks. Did he get his player card
5:55
updated? Yeah, he's now 6-8.
5:58
I don't wanna say it's. Probably 67067 off.
6:04
OK, on that note, let's get to the cell highs from 2 weeks ago
6:07
we had Yaroslav Askerov since then, three games played, one
6:10
win. OK, these numbers are skewed
6:12
because he had one awful game, but I still gotta say it. 6.68
6:15
goals against average and .855 save percentage.
6:19
Look, he had some hard opponents and but so like, this is not,
6:22
you know, the new norm for him. He's still gonna be a solid hold
6:24
rest of season. But if you were able to sell
6:27
high before this last two weeks stretch of pretty awfulness,
6:30
then you're pretty happy with how this worked out.
6:32
So I still think he's a cell. Hi, I don't think this ruined
6:35
all his value. I don't know if you sell them
6:37
high after the last two. Games, that's it.
6:40
So you might have to wait until another hot stretch.
6:42
But that's what I was saying like 2 weeks ago, right when I
6:45
when I had him as the cell high, it was just it was too too.
6:48
I didn't expect him to drop off this much, but it was too good.
6:50
Miss San Jose is just one of those teams.
6:52
Honestly, they're playing better than I expected.
6:53
Like last night they played they played Dallas and a lot of
6:56
people were scared to start asking Rob.
6:57
I recommended like, listen, if you can avoid starting him, like
6:59
do not start him against Dallas. It could be a bloodbath.
7:01
But actually stood on his head from all of the game and then a
7:04
few goals that were unlucky at the end of the game.
7:07
But overall, like I think you can expect him to be like
7:10
between a top 15, top 20 goalie rest of season stretches of like
7:16
top ten production, but it's still snooze.
7:20
And whether you believe their playoff team or not, they'll
7:23
have some duds. Like anyway, to be honest.
7:25
So it's also like you're saying like top 15, top 20, which is
7:28
super reasonable, but like 2 weeks ago you were saying you
7:31
could sell them for like a top five goalie.
7:35
Something. That says, I'm really hoping
7:37
that people did sell high on him and if not, he's still gonna be
7:40
a solid hold. But it's just you could have
7:41
taken advantage of that exact. Then we had Willy Styles,
7:44
William Nylander of the Toronto Maple Leafs.
7:46
Since then, five games played, two goals, 3 assists, 5 points,
7:49
but straight zeros in his last two games so.
7:52
That definitely. Does he really?
7:56
I mean, they, they keep bickering on the bench and like
7:58
people are in Toronto or like noticing it being like alright,
8:01
like does the captain needs to step in and be like, alright,
8:03
you guys need to chill instead of like bickering and every
8:06
press conference or whatever. Yeah, so it's never a good sign.
8:10
No, not a good sign. Yeah, so I definitely mean also
8:13
if you remember 2 weeks ago he was performing at like what was
8:16
he 1.4 points per? Game yeah 1.5 per game it.
8:18
Was yeah. So you see, like he's still a
8:20
point per game over the past two weeks.
8:22
How's that so high? But if you remember 2 weeks ago
8:24
we said that we didn't say he was going to become a terrible
8:26
player. Yeah, said he was not a 1.5 and.
8:28
Last on the lot more for him than.
8:30
Yeah, he's lost two games. People are probably cooled off a
8:33
little bit. Yeah, and lastly but not
8:35
leastly, we had Shane Gostisbehere.
8:37
Since then, five games played, two goals, 4 assists, 6 points.
8:41
His back hats are still pretty garbage, especially the last two
8:44
games just put up one shot, but he's been having a hot stretch.
8:47
I do think that the catalyst for one of his like for a bit of his
8:51
decrease is going to be slave in coming back and Slavin is on the
8:54
verge of coming back. So I still think you could sell
8:56
high on Gossip Spare and I still would and but I do.
9:00
I do feel like Jake got the best of me in our trade.
9:04
Yeah, for once, but it's also with him the fact that like the
9:10
Icsi's gonna go down. Yeah, and Carolina's power play
9:14
has been basically garbage. So his points, which have been
9:18
very consistent over the last five years, 2 power play points,
9:23
which is actually quite the uptick.
9:25
So I guess you could say that Slavin's presence is not going
9:27
to take away from that. But overall on the season, like
9:31
he's had a good season and I hope it continues for my sake.
9:35
I have them on my team but I'd still try to sell if you can.
9:38
Yeah. So, OK.
9:40
And then we have a new little section we're adding here, which
9:43
is guys we recommended over 2 weeks ago, but that's still
9:46
apply because the main, I mean we can call this the Brayden
9:50
Point section because this has been the name that like every
9:52
single week. You know, we haven't, we've
9:54
avoided mentioning him because we already mentioned him once
9:56
like 4 weeks ago, but it's still accurate.
9:58
So we added this section to kind of as a reminder, but we're not
10:01
going to dive into them, but some BIOS from 2 plus weeks ago
10:04
who still apply Brayden Point, Seth Jones, Dylan Guenther and
10:08
Pavel Dora Phev. And then some cell highs.
10:11
We had Evgeni Malkin, Ryan Nugent Hopkins, Leo Carlson, Bo
10:15
Horvat and Miro Heiskanen. So pretty much that section is
10:18
guys were still haven't kind of flipped the switch just yet
10:21
whether it's boat goes up or boat goes down and we still
10:24
recommend them as as bilos and sell highs.
10:27
The only little tip that I want to add for their Ofev though, is
10:29
that like he's getting towards like drop territory for a lot of
10:32
people. If you're like in A10 team
10:33
league, like he's definitely droppable, I think because the
10:36
replacement that was already so high in 12 team leagues really
10:39
depends on like who's available on waivers.
10:40
But that's the name that I'm hearing in the discord.
10:42
Like people are just what do we do about him?
10:44
Like can I just drop him? Like please give me permission
10:46
to drop him. And I keep being like, you can't
10:49
drop him. Like the upside is too high.
10:51
He's still my PP one. Yeah, you gotta, there's a rough
10:54
stretches with guys like this that like no matter how bad it
10:56
gets, like it's really hard to drop if if he ever gets bumped
11:00
off P1, then it's like a clear drop.
11:02
But as long as he still has that spot, he's just missing the top
11:05
6 deployment for him to go back to what he's been doing his
11:07
whole season. So that's kind of what you're
11:10
waiting for. But right now, I know it's hard
11:11
and I know it's like you gotta just hang in there.
11:14
If there's decent replacement value, then you can make a swap
11:16
if it really helps your team in the immediate future.
11:18
But I'm thinking long term with this one and it's just hard to
11:21
drop a guy with this much upside.
11:22
Yeah, honestly, Yeah, I know. Go ahead, Jackie.
11:25
I agree and I don't know, I'm scared for him.
11:29
I wouldn't drop personally, but I would also just I would say
11:33
that it's I'm scared to buy. So that's kind of like.
11:36
If you're buying, it's like an elite like hours where almost
11:40
300 players are rostered and you can really take advantage of the
11:43
opportunity because waivers is pretty scarce.
11:45
Like there's nobody that has exposure to people one the way
11:48
he does that's available on waivers or anything close to
11:49
that. So yeah, if you're like that,
11:51
I'm still trying to buy because the price is very low right now.
11:55
But if you're looking at a standard 12 team league with
11:57
like 240 roster guys, I think realistically, like I'm not
12:03
trying to buy right now because I want to see a little bit more
12:07
life before I try to do that. I mean, for me, like I just see
12:10
it as I think you can get in for like peanuts.
12:12
This is kind of like my Jones one from from a few weeks back
12:15
where it was like, I don't think that there it's gonna be super
12:19
soon that they have the uptick, but this is like the lowest,
12:21
lowest, lowest values ever going to be.
12:23
So if you get a guy like that essentially for free, that's why
12:26
I like it. But no, you're not paying any
12:27
actual assets for him at this point.
12:29
Who gets more points for us this season?
12:31
Dora Favor produces. Dora Fav.
12:34
OK. Is that like closer now that it
12:36
was like 2 weeks? Ago was that like, did you guys
12:39
hear about that? Yeah, I was.
12:39
Here we we all beer battered I. Was.
12:42
Too sick. I still on the hill by myself
12:45
and over the last seven days things are looking pretty good
12:49
for me on the side as. Well, as we like to say, make
12:51
seasoned vets in seven day increment windows and that's.
12:54
Yeah. I will say of my I, I had two
12:59
cell highs on this list. Miro Heiskanen super confident
13:02
he's still sell high, but Leo Carlson's actually legit.
13:05
Like he's so good. We didn't say he wasn't legit,
13:08
it was just didn't think he's gonna average like 1.6 points
13:11
per game for the rest of the season.
13:12
You. Know and it's still
13:13
unsustainable so that's what I was gonna say is like you could
13:16
aim extremely high here with Leo Carlson and he has slowed down
13:21
like compared to what he was doing it's not like he was
13:24
putting up that insane amount of points but his shots good and
13:29
everything I mean no points in this last two games so that's
13:31
kind of a W for the cell high recommendation but this is just
13:34
the type of guy that I would aim for a first round pick here yeah
13:37
like. It's definitely harder now given
13:40
that we slow down a little bit because he's not doing what he
13:43
was doing when we recommended as a cell high.
13:45
He's still arguably really good, obviously, but I I just
13:50
recommended in the discord somebody made a trade.
13:52
It was like Carlson plus something where they got like
13:55
brat plus something and like the the something else was an
13:57
upgrade as well. And I still take Brat over Leo
14:01
Carlson rest of season Ireland. I wouldn't, that's what I'm
14:05
saying. I think you can aim.
14:06
Higher. I mean it wasn't the only
14:08
difference. The only difference is is to
14:10
face off wins but I think. It's not like it's a bad thing.
14:13
If the set points rest of season and power play points.
14:16
If the second component of that trades like an upgrade as well,
14:19
that's a win. Get me wrong.
14:20
But like, if I have Carlson now, like I'm aiming for Eichel, I'm
14:24
aiming for. I mean, we always wanted
14:26
someone. I am just.
14:27
Saying talking about from the Bilo territory.
14:29
Yeah, but a lot of points to yeah, let's dive into our
14:32
current ones. That's the past.
14:34
OK, That was like we're over it and we were just reminding
14:36
people that these guys still exist.
14:37
But now let's dive into our Week 10 by Lowe's.
14:40
I'll start with mine. So for this week, my by low is
14:44
Tim Stutzel of the Ottawa Senators.
14:47
Over the past months, Tuttle is averaging .71 points per game,
14:50
21 power play points, 1.7 shots and two hits.
14:54
Last year, he averaged 96 points per game, .4 power play points,
14:58
two shots and 1.6 hits. So he's doing exactly what you
15:01
expect him to do in every single category, except he's missing
15:04
PowerPoint about .2 power play points to boost up his total
15:08
points to nearly point per game. In the past 10 games, the sends
15:11
are 6 for 27 on the power play, which is around 22%.
15:15
But if you take out the last game where they were two for
15:16
three they're 4 for 24 which is 16% in the past two years of
15:21
average around 23% and are ranked 11th last year and then
15:24
tenth this year due to their hot start.
15:26
So why do they have such a cold stretch and why can we expect
15:28
them to go back to being one of the top power plays in the
15:30
league? Firstly Brady could Chuck was
15:32
out for about 6 weeks and secondly the coach has been
15:34
messing around with power play 1 unit and bumped off Cousins for
15:37
Pinto which makes no sense. Luckily Ketchup is now back and
15:42
the coach is being saved from his own stupidity since Pinto
15:44
got injured so now he had to move Cousins back to powerfully
15:46
1 and look at that they immediately go 2 for three on
15:48
the power play. What a shocker.
15:50
So this team has shown that it can have an elite are playing on
15:52
the right guys are on the ice, and that's the only thing
15:54
standing in states away from being the PowerPoint per game
15:57
double double that people hoped for.
15:58
Now it's a great chance to grab him before the power play starts
16:00
clicking and his stats go back to what you'd expect.
16:03
So someone for one target? I'm looking at Brandon Hagel,
16:06
Morgan Geekie, and Mark Stone. Yeah, this is who I was going to
16:10
say. You can like you can aim for
16:12
Stitzel if you have the old Carlson still, that was like one
16:15
of those things, you know what I mean?
16:16
Because for this, you're guaranteed the shots and the
16:18
hits. He's going to be very good in
16:20
that front. And we spoken about this a lot.
16:22
But to Chuck being there is gonna be a catalyst for Ottawa
16:25
getting better and then some. He's this staple line like main
16:29
centre on this team. And you know, coupled with to
16:32
Chuck being there, usually probably gonna play with him
16:35
moving forward. I love it.
16:37
I absolutely love it. This is a clear bi LO and a stud
16:40
in all bangers league so it's a great time to go for it.
16:43
Yeah, Plus, you know, you're getting a guy that, first of all
16:45
has like the pedigree and we've seen in the last few seasons
16:49
what he can produce. So, you know, like the potential
16:51
is there, you know, you've seen it before, so you know what you
16:53
can expect. And Ottawa has a great playoff
16:55
schedule as well, so you know that you're potentially
16:57
improving there as well for your team.
16:59
I want to give a few other names as well because I honestly think
17:03
the only one that name you listed that kind of maybe
17:06
potentially disagree with is Mark Stone, just because I feel
17:08
like if he's healthy, I think he can actually be a stud for
17:12
points and and power play points this season.
17:14
But like, there's a huge gamble and.
17:16
You're taking Mark Stone over still rest of season.
17:18
I maybe I'm just a stone Homer, like I've been trying to acquire
17:21
him. The manager has like no.
17:22
Crazy. Whatever number.
17:24
I can't believe you're leaving our hate group.
17:25
That's nuts. Also now.
17:28
I hate them, but I would just love to hate him on my team.
17:30
You know what I mean? Cause I, I think my, I think she
17:34
like the power play can be like insane there.
17:36
And and the points I think Mark Stone could be like over point
17:38
per game player, but still gives you the category coverage.
17:43
So there's and less injury scares, but do you think you can
17:47
flip Josh Norris for too so? No, no, I don't think so.
17:50
OK, what about Kadri? Maybe.
17:53
I don't think so. Well just because Josh Norris
17:56
has played like 3 excellent games this year, yes, over like
17:59
the 20. Something happen?
18:01
Excellent. Norris.
18:01
There's no chance. Like no one, no one's looking at
18:03
that tiny sample size and being like, I'm gonna trade my second
18:06
round pick for him. And then Kadri either.
18:08
Like Kadri's been pretty bad most of this season.
18:10
Then he turned it on recently. But I just don't see anyone
18:12
doing that. OK, look, I can pull it off.
18:14
It's great, but I don't think. So you think you can do Marshawn
18:17
for? Us.
18:17
Yeah. I was gonna ask you as a name,
18:19
yeah. I think Marsha, maybe Clayton
18:21
Keller, yeah, maybe Keller gets more shots, slightly more
18:26
points, but he has a terrible playoff schedule with two games
18:28
in the championship, whereas you're getting getting more
18:30
well-rounded player even if the ceiling is potentially less
18:33
high. But like Keller has been a
18:34
shadow of himself as well and people are worried about himself
18:37
which I do things to buy. Low candidate but Stutzel is
18:39
just better overall player I think.
18:42
Yeah, to do, Brat. No, I'd rather have.
18:47
That's close. I think that honestly, I think
18:50
I'm taking steps all over Brat. Really.
18:52
Why? I mean, I believe that the power
18:55
play in Ottawa, like they should be like a .4, they should be
18:58
similar to like Devils, right? Like both should be like point
19:00
fours. And then Brad's going to have
19:02
like .1 points more than Stitzel, but still gets those
19:06
two hits, brackets, one hit and then get the same amount of
19:08
shots, I guess, Yeah, I guess. You know what?
19:10
One hit versus .1 points. It's pretty.
19:13
Close the other hit. You can stream with the bigger
19:15
guy like the the .1 points and the higher threshold for points.
19:18
I think that's a close I I'd go bad, but it's definitely close.
19:22
Like yeah, 2 till we forget. I feel like his value can he's
19:24
the type of guy that when he's hot, he's like almost
19:27
untouchable. But then when he's like not hot
19:30
people, I feel like they lower his floor gets so low.
19:34
If that makes sense in terms of people's eyes and how they value
19:36
him. Like you could get him for like
19:38
a connect me at that point. Whereas when he's hot it's like
19:40
no no where in the same vicinity if that makes sense.
19:42
Yeah, that's fair. Alright, Kevin, who you?
19:45
Got great pick Josh. Thank you.
19:47
My pick is a guy who I feel it can be quite polarizing, but I
19:55
think he's a great buy low and I'm talking about Zach Hyman of
19:58
the Edmonton Oilers. So Heyman is somebody that fell
20:02
in drafts due to his injury. He came back around 3 weeks ago
20:05
and in his first game back he got 11 hits.
20:08
That was nuts. And yeah, pretty much broke the
20:10
Internet at that point because everybody was just like,
20:12
alright, like we got the next stud banger like Kiefer Sherwood
20:15
on steroids or whatever. But that is a terrifying image.
20:23
But I remember coming on this podcast and kind of like
20:25
tempering expectations being like, listen, I know he's he he
20:28
was hitting in the playoffs last season.
20:29
We talked about it in the offseason being like, maybe this
20:31
is something that he introduces to his game.
20:34
But then nobody can expect to have 11 games, 11 hits a game
20:38
consistently, right? Like, I don't think anybody was
20:40
expecting that, but maybe people thought like four or five hits a
20:43
game. I was kind of on here being
20:45
like, listen, I expect it to be maybe like one or two.
20:47
And that's kind of like where he's settled out recently in the
20:49
last few weeks. But all that to say, like Hyman
20:53
is averaging 0.6 points per game, that's kind of what he did
20:57
last year. And last year was a huge
20:59
disappointment where two years removed from him scoring 54
21:02
goals, in 2023 scored 54 goals and it was 3 points away from
21:05
being a point per game player. He had 77 and 80 I believe, and
21:11
I just think this Edmonton team right now is starting to click.
21:13
The power play is getting better.
21:14
He's an integral part of that power play because he's the guy
21:18
that's gonna be in the blue paint scoring all those, all
21:20
those goals that people feel like he doesn't deserve, but he
21:22
still, he still finishes them off the greasy goals.
21:25
It was like when he scored 54, I think 50 of them were in that
21:28
blue paint. It's just don't ask how they ask
21:29
how many. Yeah, exactly.
21:31
And and he knows how to count. So I just think that maybe he's
21:36
not going to be a point per game player and but I do think that
21:39
that's his ceiling. If he averages out to like .85
21:42
point 9. I think that's very realistic.
21:44
You already have the higher floor with the hits that are now
21:47
introduced into his game where you'll get you probably he's at
21:50
least a double double. It feels like moving forward
21:52
where he has the upside to also shoot 3 * a game so he can be
21:55
like a .9 know the power play will be better.
21:58
Right now he's only averaging What is it?
22:00
I think 0.1 or 0.2 power play points and if he's, he's an
22:06
integral part to that unit, it's going to be closer to point 3.4
22:10
I think when things are clicking on all cylinders.
22:13
So room for positive regression there.
22:15
The shots could be at 3:00 to his can be at 2.
22:17
I think right now if you're putting yourself in the shoes of
22:20
somebody that drafted Hymen, it's like, OK, I drafted this
22:23
guy later in drafts, stashing the whole year.
22:25
He came back, had an amazing start with the first game and
22:28
that kind of dropped off. So you're kind of like you feel
22:30
like I just, I was expecting way more from a guy that I waited
22:34
like 8 weeks for. I'm not getting what I what I
22:36
wanted. He's doing what he did last year
22:38
and last year was a disappointment.
22:39
So it's kind of just like you, you have that taste in your
22:41
mouth that's like a little bit sour.
22:43
You're like, oh, I wish it was more, you know what I mean?
22:46
But I do think there is more in the tank and I think he's
22:48
getting to the place where we're seeing it in the last couple of
22:51
weeks too. Like his first week was rough.
22:53
This last week was a little bit better.
22:55
I think I think both about to both about to become maybe
22:58
potentially rocket ship. So in my mind, he's somebody
23:02
that I really want to target, especially if you're in a banger
23:05
categories leagues, but just banger leagues in general.
23:07
And I think right now before the points start uptaking seriously,
23:10
he's still attainable and I think at a reasonable price.
23:13
So someone for one targets and the guys that you could trade
23:16
for in a package. I think names like, you know,
23:18
Afghani Malkin, we mentioned multiple times on the podcast.
23:21
If you could flip that for Zach Hyman, maybe it requires an
23:24
extra push. I would do that for sure.
23:26
Gabe Vilardi, who goes through stretches where he's really hot,
23:29
really cold. I think that's the type of
23:31
player that is a little more 1 dimensional and you can get a
23:33
more well-rounded player in Hyman that also has a higher
23:35
ceiling. Tyler Bertuzzi, I think he's one
23:38
of the biggest cell highs right now that we didn't mention him.
23:40
We're not gonna mention him on the podcast directly, but I
23:42
think he's worth absolutely trying to sell high because this
23:46
is a guy that could end up on waivers in most leagues if his
23:48
deployment changes and he's like averaging 1.4 points per game.
23:51
Feels like the last month. Dylan Gunther we mentioned on
23:55
the below, but in in the last two weeks he's still he's gotten
23:58
a little hotter. So I think if you can swap one
24:00
for one, that's great. If it takes a little bit more,
24:02
you can do that too, because I'd rather hymen with No2 games in
24:06
the championship get the three from Hyman, which already better
24:10
and also you get the hits and the exposure to a better team
24:12
and the Trevor Zageris. I think he's the type of guy as
24:15
well that he's been a sell high for most of the season.
24:18
Listen, he's gonna be the type of guy that we had no interest
24:22
in before the season starts. We are definitely interested
24:24
now. But if you can, tear up to a
24:26
Zach Hyman and no brainer in my opinion.
24:30
Yeah, it's a great choice for a bi lo, the targets, Mulkin,
24:35
Velardi, Lovett, so and Zagreus as well.
24:38
Bertuzzi, I think you have to give Bertuzzi plus, but it's
24:40
still worth it. And Gunther, yeah, I mean, if we
24:44
like Gunther has recently become kind of like what we expected
24:48
him to be when we initially recommended him as a buy low at
24:51
.88 over the last two weeks and 2.88 shots and 1.38 hits.
24:55
That's good. I don't know.
24:58
I would rather just kind of like keep Gunther out of it, but.
25:02
Yeah, you would rather Gunter Hyman Russell season.
25:05
I don't think you could get hymen.
25:07
Like I don't think you could give Gunther and get hymen back.
25:10
Like I don't think that. And I still think I'd kinda just
25:14
be OK just keeping Gunther. I kind of like push up.
25:20
No, it's just to say that it's like, it's not that.
25:22
It's like like, I still think Gunther is kind of like, it's
25:25
weird. It's been inconsistent.
25:26
Like he's ticked up recently, but over the last month he
25:28
hasn't like been as good. As he was by law.
25:30
Expect him to be exactly So what?
25:33
I rather Gunther Hyman, probably probably Hyman, but it's close
25:38
enough that I'm like he's not the person I like.
25:41
He's like the guy value the most, I think on this list
25:43
because of the absolutely. So I'd rather just kind of like
25:47
not put them in the trade, but the other 4.
25:49
Fantastic. Let's get them for less.
25:51
But if you have to go all the way up to Gunther, I'm saying
25:54
I'd still do it. So I'm going to disagree a bit
25:58
with both of you. First of all, I think it's a
26:01
great buy low and and all the targets other than Gunther, I
26:04
think are are really sick. So and Bertuzzi, like I know
26:08
that's like the worst name out of the bunch, but like with how
26:12
insane he's been, I think it's it's possible like you might
26:14
have to do today in a small plus, but like I really think
26:17
that could actually get done. Producing Mulkin type of thing.
26:20
Yeah, I mean, I don't even know if you need to give that much.
26:22
Like it really depends on the league and the owner, but but I
26:25
think pertussis been unreal and Hyman's been pretty bad.
26:27
So I think it's definitely doable for Guenther.
26:29
First of all, straight up, I'd rather than human.
26:31
I know that Guenther has a 432 and Hyman is a 333, but like
26:34
net, it's still the same number of playoff games.
26:36
Obviously having a two weeks in the finals sucks, but like it's
26:39
not a big enough jump for me to lean Heyman.
26:41
And I just think and there's like I was really high on him
26:43
going into the season. I'm still very high on him.
26:45
I think he's a guy who couldn't like be over a three shots per
26:48
game. He can be over one point per
26:50
game. So like, let's say we put Hyman
26:53
as a three in one and like together is like similar, Um,
26:57
then pretty much about the points.
26:58
And I believe in going through a lot more than than Hyman.
27:00
So that's kind of where I'm at with it.
27:03
I think you could definitely do it.
27:04
Also, that's kind of where I disagree with Jake is like, I
27:06
think if you send their Hyman, I think it gets accepted.
27:10
So So yeah, So kind of just being being contrary for both of
27:14
you just to be. We love it.
27:17
But yeah, no. But honestly this is a great buy
27:19
low and if I didn't already have two Oilers on my team, I
27:23
definitely be targeting him. And if I.
27:25
Also know you have. Nobody on my team for parts.
27:27
Yeah, exactly. Would you give a Hmm.
27:34
Would you give like a, I don't know, for example, no Beckett
27:38
saying he can't get it done like a cutter Gautier.
27:40
No, I'm taking Gotti over over Heyman.
27:43
You're taking Gautier, and how about going up the list?
27:47
Would you do Ovechkin? I know you guys.
27:49
Don't like them? I'd rather Ovechkin at this
27:51
point. He kind of woke up and decided
27:52
to actually be a good player this year.
27:54
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess one other thing here for
27:57
you. Yeah, you know it.
27:59
Was also solid cell high honestly, but I'd still take
28:01
over. Broad Marshall is a good name
28:03
that I would take him. There, Marshawn, like selling so
28:05
hard. Yeah.
28:06
So realistically this is a fantastic choice and I also
28:09
think he got quote lucky that Roslovic got hurt as soon as he
28:13
came back because we're also was actually looking good on that
28:15
power play 1. Yeah, there was no way they were
28:18
keeping Rohrman. I don't know.
28:20
I don't know. But like, now that Heyman has
28:22
it, he's gonna keep it. Rossovich was like actually
28:24
solid more. So if he was that good, just put
28:27
him back then. Yeah, if he wasn't injured.
28:31
Put it into P1. Honestly, I have to stand in
28:35
front of the net, you know, and tap it in and he could do
28:37
assignments job now getting somebody.
28:39
Anyway, yeah, he's gonna be very good, but I don't think it's
28:42
gonna be what it was two years ago, but it'll be better than it
28:45
was last year. That's my take on it.
28:47
All right, so how many times have we heard this guy is sick,
28:53
but insert team here sucks. I am talking about Rasmus Dali
28:58
and one of the best defensemen in the NHL on Buffalo who in the
29:02
past has been Garbaccio. Sorry for.
29:05
My. Yeah, So this year, though,
29:10
what's different than Buffalo over the past few years is that
29:12
they're actually trying to stay relevant.
29:15
They are last place in the Atlantic, but it's extremely
29:18
slim margins and with Norris, Daleen, Zucker and Benson having
29:23
missed extended periods of time. So these are like some of their
29:25
top guys, other than Tage, of course.
29:27
I wouldn't bet on them to make the playoffs at all, but I
29:29
wouldn't be surprised if they're competing when the year is
29:32
coming to a close for fantasy hockey.
29:35
With all that, Darlene has been very poor points this year and
29:39
is now on pace for his worst points total since 2122 and his
29:42
shots blocks are both worse than last year as well.
29:47
Over the last month he's on pace for .5 less points per game than
29:51
he was last year and I I I don't think that's nearly sustainable.
29:56
He should be on pace for at least .8 points per game.
29:59
Over the last 10 games he's had 28 shots and has zero goals and
30:02
two power play points which are assists.
30:04
Obviously these are the categories I expect to turn
30:07
around both power play percentage and goals in the very
30:12
near future. He should be on a better pace
30:17
and getting 5 power play points and zero goals over the
30:19
remaining 54 games, which is astonishingly, impossibly bad
30:23
of. Course.
30:24
If Buffalo does in fact suck, Delene gonna be significantly
30:28
better than he's been so far. If Buffalo surprises even a
30:30
little bit, he's going to be significantly better than he's
30:33
been so far. Excuse my English.
30:36
So basically, right now is an amazing time to buy Dalene and I
30:40
don't think it's going to cost you too too much A1 for one
30:44
target. I would say Rasmus Anderson,
30:47
Miro Baskin, Kevin sell high hashtag no spoilers, Cutter
30:52
Goutier. And if, uh, if you're looking to
30:56
add something, I think Darren Radish plus is probably your
30:59
best bet because he's looking really good.
31:01
We'll see. I mean, Headman's coming back if
31:04
he actually takes it over, but Radish has been a beast, So what
31:08
do you think? I think that darling is a sick
31:12
Bylo. I I honestly like I was gonna
31:14
put him as a Bilo about I think it was 3 weeks ago and then like
31:17
the day of the episode was 1. He went on that like personal
31:20
leave of absence and it was like he could be out for the season,
31:22
whatever. You know, I was like, I don't
31:23
feel comfortable putting as below and it just so up in the
31:25
air and and yeah, so it's only a matter of time before he found
31:29
his way on this episode. So I think it's a great buy low.
31:32
Let's talk about the targets. I think I think he's going to be
31:35
a great 1 and that's a really good one.
31:37
I think Anderson has slowed down a bit.
31:39
It would have to take a plus, but it's in the realm of
31:41
possibility. Um, go tier.
31:43
I like that. I would take Tylenol for Gothier
31:45
and then the only one I think is not gonna.
31:48
I mean, you'd have to do a significant plus would be
31:50
radish. I think even though he's been
31:52
unreal, it's the sample size is small.
31:53
Some people probably are worried about had been coming back and
31:57
you probably picked him up off waivers.
31:58
So like I think it would be more like radish is the plus and as
32:01
opposed to being the main piece in the trade.
32:04
But I think he's a good piece that can that can help you.
32:06
So I love all the targets. Just don't think you can pull
32:09
that off 1 for one. Yeah, I think you only want to
32:12
maybe be done one for one is his container or Gautier.
32:15
Yeah, even Anderson, I feel like he has like there's these type
32:19
of guys that no matter how much they produce, they always have a
32:21
little bit of the stink. And this guys like Radish, this
32:23
guys like Anderson where they were waiver pickups at some
32:26
point. And even though they're very
32:27
valuable now and they should not be waiver pickups anymore, but
32:30
people still attribute that kind of like name to them.
32:33
So it's harder to do. They don't have as much name
32:35
pull in trades even though like the production speaks for
32:39
itself. So if you could do like Anderson
32:41
plus like a small plus or like radish plus a small plus, like
32:44
guys that I mentioned even in my in my targets above, like
32:48
Anderson plus a Mulkin or Anderson plus a Velardi for
32:51
Adaline, I feel like that could be a good deal that you can get
32:54
done. I love the Dalene pick.
32:56
I think he's still like a top five defenseman, especially in
32:59
bangers league. That's really what we're talking
33:00
about here because he has he has a perfect balance of, you know,
33:03
giving you that points upside and also like the banker
33:05
category coverage. And I think the power play is
33:08
about to pop off, to be honest. We saw the power play last year
33:10
be pretty, pretty decent and they're finally starting to get
33:13
all the pieces surrounded. And listen, Josh Norris been
33:16
back for three games and he has three power play points.
33:18
So I'm just putting it out there that maybe this was the piece
33:22
that they were missing for them to properly click.
33:24
But. I mean, look, like getting your
33:27
#1C back is nothing to scoff at. I don't know, like Josh Norris
33:31
doesn't get the respect because of his health issues, but like,
33:33
that is a big deal. So I definitely agree.
33:36
Yeah, I'm just gonna say though, radish has been a stud like an
33:39
insect for sure. Say in.
33:41
Player now people. Some people will just think that
33:43
he goes back to 0 as soon as admin is back.
33:45
So like, even if that's not the case, the fact that people will
33:49
attribute that sentiment to him just makes it harder to sell.
33:52
To the Radish point, if you give it like a week of human being
33:55
back, Radish keeps power play 1 and keeps killing it, then, you
33:59
know, then we have a discussion there because like that's still
34:01
obviously rather dully, but now you can be like, look, Headman
34:04
came back and Radish is still doing it.
34:05
So I'm not trying to sell you an asset that's immediately gonna
34:07
crash and then you can have a discussion.
34:09
So yeah, I think that's a more realistic way of of approaching
34:13
it. OK, let's get.
34:16
Into the let's get into the cell highs I'm.
34:18
Very believe Josh is gonna do this to.
34:20
Us Yeah, my cell high for this week is one of my besties from
34:25
this season, Jason Robertson. And before I'm going to preface
34:30
this by saying that he's still going to be sick this year, OK,
34:33
I'm not. I'm not throwing any shade,
34:34
Robertson, but let's kind of get into what's been going on here
34:37
over the past. So you don't have a vendetta
34:38
against him? No, not like you.
34:40
I think I was more of. A much more.
34:43
Of a believer. Yeah.
34:45
The past month, Robertson has averaged 1.67 points per game .6
34:50
power play points, 3.87 shots on goal.
34:53
Last year he was at 1.98 points per game.
34:55
Yeah .23 power play points and 2.57 shots on goal.
34:59
This is one of the most insane monthly runs by a player we've
35:02
seen in a while, and it simply cannot last.
35:04
I'll preface this by saying that I still think her, Robertson and
35:07
the Stars are unbelievable and going have an incredible year.
35:09
He should do way better than he did last year, but it's
35:11
extremely unsustainable for a player to average this many
35:13
points and this many power play points regardless of who.
35:16
For last year, McDavid and McKinnon both averaged around 47
35:19
power play points, so I think it's fair to say that that is
35:22
the ceiling of the best players in the league.
35:24
This Dallas power play and Robertson are both incredible.
35:27
I don't think he finishes the year higher than .4 power play
35:29
points, which is still great, but that's .2 points less than
35:33
he's currently doing right off the bat.
35:35
So if you take away that point to it still brings his points to
35:38
1.47. That's 120 point pace and is 1
35:42
crazy year where he hit above 80 points.
35:44
Robertson got to 109 points which is 1.32 points per game.
35:47
So if we assume Robertson will match his career highlights
35:50
points, which is already a big assumption, than his points
35:53
should dip by .35 and his PowerPoint should by .2.
35:57
And that's giving him like the most benefit of the doubt
36:00
benefited that you can give right?
36:01
This is his ceiling ceiling ceiling.
36:03
So while still being amazing, anytime a player is playing .35
36:07
points above expected, they are a massive cell high.
36:10
You should be able to get a top ten asset for Robinson right now
36:13
and for where you drafted him that is a massive steel.
36:16
So some good targets. Austin Matthews, David
36:19
Pasternak, Kyle Mccarr. I think you got Connor
36:21
Hellebuyck plus. I think you get Jack Hughes
36:23
plus. So what I'm saying cell Roberson
36:26
high, I'm saying you aim for like these top 10 picks in the
36:29
draft. And I will say I know this is
36:31
doable because I pulled off a Robertson for Austin Matthews
36:33
trade in our league and Jake and Kevin are furious about it.
36:37
So this can this can get done. I had to add some pieces like it
36:41
wasn't a straight one for one, but like the it's there.
36:44
You know, it's very rare a guy who picked in like the fourth
36:47
round, fifth round is even. You know, it's very rare you can
36:49
sell anyone who wasn't picked in the top 4 rounds for a top ten
36:54
overall pick. So now it's a really good
36:56
opportunity to do that. And a little bit of on my trade
36:59
journey with Robertson as I sent Faber and switch Nikov for
37:02
Robertson about a month ago and I flipped Robertson Plus for
37:06
Matthews. So I kind of turned section
37:07
comment to Matthews. It was basically like, remember
37:11
that one week where well for that month, specials like line 4
37:15
and everybody was talking about him being the worst pick in
37:17
fantasy and then he got bumped up to like line 1 and then had
37:20
one week of production. Josh used that one week to flip
37:22
him for Robertson somehow. And it was just it just so
37:25
happened to also the week that Faber had like an opportunity on
37:27
P1 that lasted like 3 games. So yeah, that's that's just
37:31
nuts. And then getting Robertson using
37:33
that to flip for Matthews is just it's the perfect buy low
37:36
sell high that we always keep talking about.
37:38
What I will say though, however, that we're no, I don't disagree
37:43
with your targets. Obviously you listed like some
37:45
of the best players in the league.
37:46
So highly recommend doing that and I think it's very feasible.
37:49
The one thing that I wanna caveat though, is like you put
37:52
Connor Hellebuyck there and Connor Helck was a first round
37:55
pick and literally almost every right now, like he was by far
37:57
the first goal he taken. But when you have a guy that's
37:59
producing this amount of points threshold, let's say, I really
38:04
want to capitalize on that and get points out of it because I
38:07
feel like that's just the most inherent value you can get for a
38:10
fantasy trade. So if you're desperate need of
38:13
goalie, do you like targeting Hello bug.
38:15
But when you have the opportunity to sell guidance,
38:16
like going crazy in points for another guy that you know is
38:19
gonna be crazy in points, but like consistent, I'd rather do
38:22
that than take the positional advantage with the goalie.
38:24
What about hell about? Plus what about?
38:27
Yeah you tossing a solid like guy who could mitigate the
38:30
points. But no, it fully depends on your
38:32
specific. Team In my mind, I'd rather do
38:34
like Robertson plus for Matthews than like Robertson 4 Hella Buck
38:38
plus, yeah, Velardi or whatever. Yeah, that's fair.
38:42
But nothing, it's a bad trade. I'm just saying like how I like
38:44
the capitalize on the value of the of the cell high is going in
38:47
that direction as opposed to going for the goalie.
38:49
But if you need a goalie, like hello, bugs attainable.
38:52
And I know people are worried about the knee when it comes
38:54
back from injury, but I'm not that worried about it.
38:57
I still think he's gonna be a beast.
38:59
And we're seeing already that comedy is just not not even
39:02
close to the same level as hell. Yeah, yeah, normally I'm
39:06
definitely on the like you get the best player one, but I
39:09
wanted to toss in some like health issues as well as like
39:11
you can get couple of good guys and like the first guy you're
39:14
getting could be all end up similar value if not better than
39:17
Robertson. Yeah.
39:19
Feel like you could get like maybe this is nuts but like what
39:23
about like a hello Buck and a Marner?
39:26
Mariners not been good. Maybe in the shallower league.
39:29
Yeah, or anything you toss in a second guy who's like, you know,
39:32
you don't really care about too much, but could be like
39:34
someone's roster like that can get done, Yeah.
39:36
Like a velocity, we put like 5 coins, the majority today so.
39:39
Yeah. I keep going there.
39:44
No, I mean, this is a fantastic choice because he's been a first
39:49
round pick in the past and he's done incredible, incredible
39:52
things in for fantasy in in almost all formats.
39:56
So I think that there's a world in which the benefit of the
40:01
doubt case does become a thing and he's a high second round
40:06
pick next year and it's still worth it to sell because the
40:08
guys that you're targeting can all get done.
40:11
He's playing way beyond. Anything that's possible and
40:15
Matthews, Pasternak, Mccarr, for sure, the injured guys, it's
40:19
obviously a risk. It's a question mark.
40:21
But I think that when it's said and done, especially Hughes when
40:24
he's healthy versus Robertson, I'm happier with that.
40:27
I kind of agree with Kevin here saying that like, I'd rather get
40:31
the points back is like a top priority.
40:34
But still, I mean, if you can get like Marner, that's like 1 I
40:38
just said, or even like Bratton, Hella Buck, probably the
40:42
Robertson just alone that you. Could be sick.
40:45
Yeah, I feel like it's. But yeah, but your.
40:48
Goalie or something and. Yeah, like a steward, Skinner
40:53
came out at. You.
40:53
Yeah. I mean, actually, yeah.
40:56
No, but all this to say it's it's a fantastic choice.
41:00
Where do you actually think if you have to?
41:02
Assuming he plays the full season, how many points per game
41:05
do you think is gonna end up with?
41:07
I mean I see them being between 1.11.2.
41:10
I don't see it. Being 95 like that.
41:13
Yeah, I don't think he's beating his his career.
41:16
High. I don't think he's breaking 100.
41:19
Yeah, I mean. If you if he does, like I think
41:21
that's where he's getting to. I think it's like it's 100 is
41:23
like his yeah, change. Listen, do you have Dallas
41:26
playing like this? It just feels insane.
41:29
Yeah, sure, you just are married for a long season, right And
41:31
like teams go on stretches like this and you're like, they're
41:33
unbeatable like they're gonna be doing this forever, you know,
41:35
and then all of a sudden, you know, things average out to kind
41:38
of closer to where they're supposed to be and you're like,
41:40
oh damn, I should have taken advantage of that.
41:41
And that's why Bilo Sai is not easy, right, Because for
41:44
yourself even come up with a perfect trade, but you're you're
41:46
like, not sure if you want to do it because it doesn't never
41:49
feels good in the moment, right? You're trading a guy who's been
41:52
averaging 1.67 points from Matthews has been like averaging
41:56
like .85 points per game, you know?
41:58
So in your head, you're like, I just lost half my points, you
42:01
know, but. That's only when you when you,
42:02
when you think about the targets are always looking at the
42:04
downsides. Just like he has no more Marner
42:06
and yeah, they don't even have a power play quarterback.
42:08
Of course, he's averaging 0.85 points per year.
42:10
Then you trade for him and then they go back to like it just
42:13
does the swap that you were worried about or or not worried
42:16
about. And yeah, it's just make these
42:19
deals. Yep.
42:20
Alright, Kevin, who you got? All right, I'm going to go
42:23
straight into mine. And because we've talked about
42:26
them, I feel like on previous, so as we've kind of like held
42:29
their name out there and been like, this is a cell high
42:31
situation, but I'm talking about the Washington defenseman.
42:36
I'm putting 2 names here. I'm putting John Carlson and
42:38
Jacob Chicken because I think first of all, both are sell
42:40
highs. But my main, my main name here
42:43
is John Carlson. I think he's the the, the main
42:45
guy you have to sell right now. But as we speak, he's currently
42:48
day-to-day. So I wanted to also add in the
42:51
fact that like I do like chicken a lot, but I do think he's also
42:54
a cell high. Yeah, because I think Jacob
42:57
Chicken is top 7-8 defensemen rest of season, like definitely
43:00
top ten with what he's doing, not the fact that he's cemented
43:03
his PB one spot on that Washington power play and
43:07
Carlson um, if you look at his game log, he's averaging over a
43:11
point per game over the last month, 0.08 power play points.
43:15
It's basically nothing. So and he has the name value and
43:19
the pedigree of like, OK, this has always been their power play
43:21
quarterback, but now he's hurt. So I honestly think because he
43:25
was bumped off P1 before the injury and it was just chicken
43:28
was the only guy there meaning like, OK, the swap happened.
43:31
Chicken is the main guy, chickens playing elite and John
43:34
Carlson still has the production to back up like his value
43:38
currently. But every passing day that
43:41
happens is 1 less day or one less opportunity to sell them at
43:45
this current value because it's not gonna be over point per game
43:47
guys gonna be close to that, especially if you lost people
43:49
one now. So in my mind, this is like a
43:52
super time sensitive sell high opportunity because every day
43:57
gets harder to do that. And like if somebody would have
44:00
looked at the daily face software wherever you get your
44:02
lineups and been like, OK, like John Carlson is not on P1
44:05
anymore. I don't want to trade for him.
44:07
The fact that he's injured now actually kind of like a blessing
44:09
in disguise because if somebody looks up the power play unit,
44:12
they'll be like, oh, like John Charles is not there.
44:14
Yeah, but he's not playing. He's hurt.
44:15
Like usually he's there. So you can use that actually in
44:18
your negotiation tactic to be like, alright, like, yeah, you
44:21
just heard that's why he's not there.
44:22
But when he's healthy, he'll be there.
44:24
So the window is small with this one.
44:26
But even if he comes back and it's not up one, I'm trying to
44:28
sell, sell, sell because I really do think that if they
44:32
made the swap, and I think they did, his value goes down to like
44:36
he'll be like a point 6.65 points per game player, no power
44:40
play. And then he's not anything crazy
44:41
in the in the Bangor categories that you want on your roster for
44:43
that reason. So that was my spiel for John
44:46
Carlson. I think he's a priority cell
44:48
right now, one of the best priority cells because of how if
44:51
you look at his game log, he has a lot of production in the last
44:53
month. Now, Jacob Chicken, I think you
44:56
could also sell high, but he's not a priority sell like John
45:00
Carlson. I think Jacob Chicken is
45:02
shooting tremendously. He's getting close to four shots
45:05
a game from a defenseman. That's exactly Renski numbers
45:08
and he's averaging almost close to a point per game.
45:10
He's got the power play cemented.
45:12
I really think Jacob Chicken is about to take off in terms of
45:14
like cement himself as a top 10 fantasy defenseman, but he's
45:18
playing so well right now. You can target these other
45:20
defensemen that are a little bit lower.
45:21
Like Jake mentioned, Rasmus Dahlin.
45:23
I think you can do chicken for Dalene straight up in some
45:25
leagues. It will take like a minor plus
45:27
to get that done. I'm going into my targets now,
45:30
but like Jake Sanderson I think is attainable right now.
45:33
Like he's starting to heat up, but Chicken has the shot
45:36
falling. That's like super tantalizing
45:38
from a defenseman position. I think Evan Bouchard, they're
45:41
pretty comparable as of late. But if you can do a trade where
45:43
you know Chicken is value a little bit higher, you can make
45:46
that happen. I think Marner cross position
45:48
you can get that done. Marr people are disappointed
45:50
with monitor this season like he's not.
45:52
He'll never bang your category guy.
45:54
And now his points not even close to a point per game.
45:57
I think he's still a buy low. His ceiling is not what it was
45:59
on on Toronto. We said that going into the
46:01
season, but I would do that swap one for one and Kempe, I think I
46:04
really like. I mean, I've talked about camp
46:06
is one of my favorite players. Like I'm always trying to get
46:08
him on my team very hard in our league of record to make that
46:10
happen because the guy is also a huge campaign fan.
46:12
But if you could do that one for one, I'm thrilled.
46:15
I'm taking that and I'm running. So these are this is how I kind
46:18
of feel about the Washington D situation.
46:20
They're also clicking right now. They're top of the division last
46:22
I checked. So I think it's an opportunity
46:25
to just sell them as a unit. Yeah, I I love this and we've
46:32
spoken about it on previous episodes of the fact that
46:34
they're both doing so well, just like makes no sense.
46:37
As you mentioned, chicken, your preferred defenseman on this
46:41
team. I think we all agree there.
46:43
But either way, the fact that I think that chicken still is a
46:48
sell high and I agree with it. I'd much rather sell a Carlson,
46:52
but it's mainly like, it's not as if one of them is going to
46:56
become irrelevant and then one of them is just going to take
46:59
all the points away from the other guy.
47:00
A big part of Carlson's points because he was on the power play
47:03
for a while. It's probably gonna be tricking
47:05
the rest of season, especially because Washington just went
47:07
from last place to 1st place in the Metropolitan Division and
47:11
like, it seems like it was overnight.
47:13
That's how tight the division still are.
47:14
There's six points separating the top and the bottom team, so
47:17
it's very tight. But anyways, this is all to say
47:20
that Chikurin Chikurin and Carlson are both just going to
47:24
get worse and all the targets dimension should be better than
47:27
them rest of season. Dalene is easily the favorite
47:30
because it's defensemen to defenseman and there's no
47:32
question that I'd rather him. And I love the Mariner choice,
47:34
too. So can you get Sanderson?
47:37
At this point, However, you don't know if it's possible.
47:41
I don't know what you guys think.
47:43
But yeah, I mean, especially bullying and Marner and probably
47:47
can't be too. That's attainable.
47:49
Love it. Yeah, I think this is great.
47:51
I think you could get Sanderson with Chicken, but not with
47:53
Carlson. And uh, yeah, I think I agree
47:56
with everything. Main thing to say, like I think
47:58
the main thing to hammer home is Carlson.
48:00
This is like an urgent he's going to lose so much value.
48:03
Chicken is like he's performing slightly above what we expect us
48:06
to season. But if you hold him, you're
48:07
gonna be disappointed. Carlson, he could end up being a
48:09
drop, honestly, and like a in like a month.
48:11
So I'd really be looking to sell.
48:13
And I love what you said about the day-to-day.
48:14
It's such a good opportunity to have that kind of like
48:16
explanation being like the only reason is not powerful one
48:19
because he's injured. So fully agree.
48:21
If you could do Carlson for Adam Fox now, given the injury, I
48:23
think that's like a that could be like one of the best trades
48:27
you pull off in the entire season given like the fact that
48:29
you're trying is not P14 got you stash on IR for like the next
48:33
month or so. But when he comes back, he's
48:35
also like a top five, top 6, the defenseman.
48:37
So yeah. Yeah, but I wouldn't do trick
48:41
Trick and fraud on Fox. I mean, when they're both
48:45
healthy, I'd rather Fox, but right now they're not both
48:47
healthy. So yeah, alright, just getting
48:51
your last one. Yes, OK, so this one is more
48:57
painful for me than Leo Carlson, the one I recommended him as a
49:00
bi lo earlier this year. I love Leo Carlson, as everybody
49:04
knows. So this one is more painful
49:07
because this guys on my team and I love him.
49:09
OK, Just need to get that out of the way.
49:12
The wall from Saint Paul, Jasper Walstad.
49:16
Let's get into it. I saw something the other day
49:19
that basically said this continues to set the standard
49:22
for goaltending, which as proclaimed goalie expert of the
49:25
bigger management Fantasy hockey podcast I totally agree with.
49:28
I know this is going to become a running joke like Dustin Wolves
49:31
hips not lying from last year, but the way Esper moves insane.
49:36
In all seriousness, on top of all the stats being absolutely
49:40
incredible, he looks steady, composed, and always in the
49:43
right spot, which is absolutely amazing to see for a goalie,
49:46
especially a rookie goalie. With all that coupled with the
49:50
draft pedigree and him beating the two most.
49:52
Two of the most, not the two most, but technically I guess
49:56
you could say that the two best offensive teams in the league or
49:58
the least Dallas, whatever. But he beat Avalanche and the
50:02
Oilers and like he really destroyed them with insane
50:06
percentages and he shut out the Oilers essentially.
50:10
Yeah, he looks amazing IRL and for fantasy.
50:13
In his last seven games, he's posted not one, not 2, not 3,
50:17
not Hermione, but 4 shutouts. And in his last seven games,
50:22
he's ours a .971 save percentage.
50:25
And yeah, there's three kind of ways I see this turning out.
50:29
He revolutionizes the way goaltending is played in a
50:32
similar way to that. McDavid changed the speed and
50:35
offence of the NHL's number 2. He's a top five goalie in the
50:39
league. But even at that, I believe
50:41
there's the three to four guys ahead of him that are better to
50:44
own and attainable in a trade right now.
50:47
Or three. He comes back to earth posting a
50:49
9:05 to 9:00 one save percentage.
50:51
Regardless of the way it shakes out.
50:52
And even if he becomes the McDavid of goaltending, there's
50:55
negative regression in the future for sure.
50:58
As a direct comparison, Hellebusch, who has been the
51:00
best goalie to own in fantasy for the last three years, has
51:04
averaged between .92 and .9252 percentage.
51:07
And this is the elite of the elite in the recent era.
51:13
Last but not least, Gustafson is still saying he's still a thing.
51:16
And even though he lost his most recent games to the Flames and
51:19
Savers, savers of all teams, he's still a solid goalie.
51:22
And having both of them on Minnesota means that even if
51:26
Walstad takes on the 1A role, he won't get the same stars as
51:28
Chester can. Vasilevsky or Hella Buck when
51:31
healthy will get. So I'm going to give basically 2
51:33
tiers of targets. Tier 1 is essentially guys
51:35
that'd be willing to get back to him in a 2 for two, which we
51:39
always recommend. And you'd be able to get the
51:41
second player of essentially equal value or maybe a buy.
51:44
And then Tier 2, I think you could get like way better value
51:48
as the second back. So tier one, OK, which is
51:52
basically where I see one for one kind of possibility, but you
51:56
just want to always do 2 for two.
51:57
As we mentioned, Chesterton, Vasilevski, Hella, Buck, but
52:01
because of the halibut injury, I think you're getting a little
52:03
higher than the other two and probably Jake Ottinger.
52:06
Josh and I were talking about this off the podcast, but a
52:09
little iffy there and then Tier 2, uh, Kemper Sorokin and Logan
52:13
Thompson. So question for you guys and
52:16
then you can get into it. Of all the targets I mentioned,
52:18
are there any that you simply rather whilst at over them rest
52:21
of season? So yeah, I was gonna say Sorokin
52:25
is the only one that jumps out to me.
52:26
I'd rather just have all that I wouldn't take broken in that.
52:28
OK, I think you can get Kemper and Thompson, possibly one for
52:31
one and I'd be super happy with that.
52:33
And then I mean, to me, I don't know what you mean by iffy on
52:36
auto injury. If you're iffy on whether you'd
52:37
rather odd injure than than Walstead, that's insane to me.
52:40
But but yeah, I know it's obviously odd injured.
52:43
No question. And the fact that you can even
52:45
there, even the same conversation is awesome.
52:47
Like if you can flip from one of these top tier goalies, you
52:48
should absolutely do it. Yeah, I think, I think the only
52:52
thing you have to say is he has four shots in his last six
52:54
games. Everybody's talking about it
52:55
right now. Everybody wants a piece of wall
52:57
said if you didn't pick him up on waivers, you feel like you
52:59
missed out on like the pick up of the season at this point.
53:01
So it would be a disservice to not try to sell him for anything
53:05
right now. So all the like Chester and
53:08
Vasilevsky, hello. But these are like the elite of
53:10
the elite fantasy goalies that I would do one for one swap if
53:13
possible. I'd even add on top of it to get
53:15
that done cause don't forget, listen, he's not gonna get a
53:18
shout out for 2/3 of his games of the season.
53:21
And also don't forget he's not stealing this job from
53:24
Gustafson. Like JK mentioned it earlier,
53:26
Gustafson is still gonna be playing roughly half of the
53:28
games. So unless barring any injury or
53:30
anything, we're not putting that into the universe.
53:32
But yeah, I, I, I think it's a no-brainer to try to sell him
53:37
right now. You can get like a top 2, three
53:39
round pick if you want to get your goalie.
53:41
Plus, I do Kemper. You can get temper straight up.
53:44
I would make that swap, but it feels like I feel you can get
53:47
way more than temper right now. So you can get temper plus, get
53:50
Logan Thompson plus, or aim higher and tack on to Wallsend
53:54
and get an elite goalie that you know is gonna be a solid guy for
53:57
your team for the rest of the season.
54:00
Yeah, it's it's so fun to own him.
54:04
It's a really brutal like that's why I said this is painful for
54:07
me to say. But like you, like you said,
54:09
it's a disservice to not try and sell them because this is
54:12
obviously. Unsustainable Jiggy, I'm waiting
54:14
for you to pull off a trade in our league.
54:15
Like, I feel like every week we talk about a guy that's on your
54:18
team. OK, Yeah, you did like a lateral
54:20
move. Couture out for dry Seidel.
54:22
'S bareback. Yeah.
54:24
And you give away tickets anyways.
54:25
But I'm just saying, I feel we've mentioned a couple of you
54:27
guys on the cell high appisodes recently and you haven't been
54:30
able to pull off a trade with them like the Hegels, the wall
54:32
studs, like I wanna see you make a deal.
54:34
Yeah, because I have guys who keep trying to offer me Stuart
54:38
Skinner, who I just dropped. And I've never offered you those
54:41
guys for, for, for Angel or or Walstead.
54:48
No. We're just sitting for gossip.
54:50
Spare. You were like.
54:51
The thing is like I wanna sell my God pussy so I I wanna sell
54:56
my guys for elite players, but Josh has every elite player not
54:59
to think. I'm gonna take them all so you
55:01
guys can't get them. Exactly.
55:05
So I don't know what to do. I feel like you just he
55:08
basically took all the training out of the league.
55:10
But yeah, I'd love to look if I could trade Hagel and Walstead
55:13
and get something elite back, provided that they're in elite
55:16
players left. Like Josh wouldn't do this, but
55:18
like Hagel and Walstad for I feel like you could do that.
55:23
For dry Sydal, No, But for Pasternak, who's hurt?
55:27
You know you could. But he wouldn't do that.
55:30
I don't know, but there's other guys that are not on Josh's team
55:33
that usually trade for. Brady.
55:36
OK, other guys that are not on drugs.
55:39
Talk about I know there's potential there.
