Still would be interesting to find out who 'leaked' the contract demands from last season Correct. Chevy would not stand up at a mic and say "here is our offer to Trouba...". But things get leaked all the time. Jets are a pretty tight ship. I suspect Trouba's camp leaked the "demands" to sway public opinion towards a trade.

Goalie Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 (edited) Trouba and his agent are fools if they think they will get anything close to 8. Maybe half of that now but hey his agent said it's not about the money which means it's about money Edited October 12, 2016 by Goalie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sweep the leg Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I've got Crosby and Eichel. This season is off to a fantastic start. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 I'm in an 8 team pool for a boatload of beers Here's how my team lines up: F: McDavid, Kopitar, Wheeler, Marchand, Saad, Palmieri, Domi, Spezza, Ehlers, Jenner D: Karlsson, Ekman-Larsson, Doughty, Ristolainen G: Price, Luongo, Greiss Tracks not only points, but +/-, powerplay points, shots and hits as well as the typical goalie categories (wins, shutouts, GAA, SV%) Jenner, Palmieri seem like random selections in an 8 team pool, but with the hits/shots totals being valuable, they were top 50 ranked players last year. blue_gold_84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Looks like pretty much the worst fantasy hockey team i've ever seen Noeller, FrostyWinnipeg and Mike 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweep the leg Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Where did you take McDavid? He went 4th in my year to year draft. Risto seems like a reach in an 8 team league, but your other three D are really good. I'm guessing you went D pretty early. I'm in a 10 team league. We count just about every conventional stat except hits. Love my forwards., but my defense and goaltending is pretty meh. I waited too long to fill out of the bottom of my D and goaltending and ended up with some questionable guys. 1. (2) Sidney Crosby (Pit - C) 2. (19) Jonathan Quick (LA - G) 3. (22) Evgeny Kuznetsov (Was - C) 4. (39) Nikita Kucherov (TB - RW) 5. (42) Wayne Simmonds (Phi - RW) 6. (59) John Klingberg (Dal - D) 7. (62) Brian Elliott (Cgy - G) 8. (79) Jakub Voracek (Phi - LW,RW) 9. (82) Milan Lucic (Edm - LW) 10. (99) Keith Yandle (Fla - D) 11. (102) Matt Duchene (Col - C) 12. (119) Kyle Okposo (Buf - RW) 13. (122) Steve Mason (Phi - G) 14. (139) Henrik Zetterberg (Det - C,LW) 15. (142) Dougie Hamilton (Cgy - D) 16. (159) Dion Phaneuf (Ott - D) 17. (162) Ryan Miller (Van - G) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I waited too long to fill out of the bottom of my D and goaltending and ended up with some questionable guys. I took McDavid fourth as well. Risto graded out well, again because of the volume of shots/hits he provides as a defender. It gets a little hazy but I think my picks in order to start were McDavid, Karlsson, Price, Kopitar, Wheeler, OEL, Doughty, Marchand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomic Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 McDavid went number one in my league if you can believe that. I was super pumped to take Crosby at 2. Nit looking great at the moment but hopefully he's back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was taking him anywhere, to be honest. Go big or go home. McDavid is easily my pick to win the Art Ross this year.

The Unknown Poster Posted October 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 Maybe we can split off into a Poolies thread. Might be fun to chat as the season progresses. Was just talking to someone about first over-all. He said McDavid went first in one of his pools. Honestly, if I get first pick, I *probably* take McDavid but I really want to take Crosby. If he was healthy I'd take him. I think McDavid has the chance to just light it up on a bad Oilers team that will be offense first.

I play floor hockey every week with a bunch of old boys who've been doing fantasy drafts since the late 70s, and they tell tales of how Gretzky was broken into 2 draftable players: Gretzky Goals and Gretzky Assists.

He's great and will lead the league in points for a long time, but he's not going to be winning it by margins like Gretzky did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been my second pick after Crosby. Our top three was Kane, Crosby, Benn. I actually had a Crosby-Okposo for McDavid-McKinnon trade lined up before we found out about Crosby's concussion. Would have been great for me if we pulled the trigger one day earlier. Now Crosby is out and Okposo's centre might be out long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
