redruM Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 We are a month into the season and we have dead teams already??? I have offered a bunch of trades, if they suck tell me, but please donot ignore them!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted November 7, 2013 Author Share Posted November 7, 2013 That's why I hate the 20-team format and want to scale it back. Don't get me wrong, I like the challenge of such a deep league but if half the league is going to forget about their team than what's the point? I'd prefer to scale it down to 16 at least if not 12-14 next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aylbert Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 I like to sit in 5/10... then ascend to the top late season. I don't always get what I like. Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted November 7, 2013 Share Posted November 7, 2013 Yeah I threw a few trades around, but got no responses. Hopefully people are just ignoring them, rather than having already forgotten about the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100%, and i think 14 is the #, every year we have at least 5 teams that seem to disappear, but usually it january not friggin NOV!!!

aylbert Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I've been in and out of first place because of niemi. So glad I got him and then the Brodeur curse... Brodeur gets a shutout, Niemi gets smoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 Oh sure, NOW Cam Fowler decides to start scoring. He's going to be this year's version of Slava Voynov (a guy who does squadoosh for ten games until I put him on the wire, then he immediately goes off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be this year's version of Slava Voynov (a guy who does squadoosh for ten games until I put him on the wire, then he immediately goes off) I always worry about that. Tyler Myers will find some scoring now that he's benched. But I couldn't leave Goligoski as a free agent, and then on my bench. He's one of my reclamation projects of the year, and I didn't even have to trade for him (he was drafted in 9th). Nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I'll just post it here rather than on the FHL forum or whatever, but for anyone looking to trade..I don't think I can part ways with either of the Sedin twins at this point. Having great (fantasy) seasons right now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redruM Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 anyone with 2 starting goalies looking for a trade?? drafting a goalie 2nd round has not worked out for me!! Anyway looking for a goalie please send trade proposals!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted November 8, 2013 Author Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) I've got Carter Hutton, I doubt that's what you're looking for since it's a short-term solution but he does have a juicy start Sunday I don't even really know what I'd need in any deal per se, or who'd really be expendable. Most of the reason I'm not in first has to do with the ancilary categories (SHP, GWG, Shutouts, Blocks, +/-). You can't really control the first three, and I never do well in plus minus anymore no matter who I draft. Just going position by position I don't really have a complaint at this point other than I suppose defensive depth, but who doesn't have that issue in a 20-team league? I'm not dominating faceoffs the way I usually do cause O'Reilly isn't a center anymore, and the other guy I drafted (Desharnais) was an utter failure.

aylbert Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 While I'm not happy with my current d performance, I am happy with it overall and my depth there. I'm always lacking pure goal scorers but usually have enough above average players that in aggregate I lead. That hasnt happened yet. That said, I'm enjoying my early day in the lead... Meaningless in November, but it'll give me something to cling to when I lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
