That’ll do boys

Bryce Salvador was talking up the Devils PK this afternoon on SiriusXM... but says these bad penalties are so deflating and always seem to go against you. I hope he is wrong right right about now

Correct sir

So is this the first time in the modern era that the players selected 1-2 in the draft are playing in the playoffs the following season?

That analysis isn't exactly fair as it's not indicative of your drafting - you dumped some major talent for futures and besides I have two of your keepers (Draisatl and Murray). Plus you hit late with Sean Couturier and Dustin Brown.

Henrique is solid... but not worth keeper considerations to me, which is why I dropped him end of year for random D. Although i I felt sad letting go of virtual players, but justified that cruel sob Hasan won’t let me keep everyone.

How are we handling ties for the 10th spot? Since NJDefenders lost a point knocking them down to tie with Wolverines. Ultimately, I’m pleased with where I’m at this year after finishing 4th last year. Obviously I wanted to win, but my revised goal when I finally did pull the trigger to trade was to crack the top 3 and I did on season end eve. Prices before then were just too much. Im excited to have Draisatl on my team... and Aho had a great second year. Third keeper we will see. The third slot will be a gamble of Horvat, Duchene, Murray, Eckblad or even Drouin (who feels like he has had a million chances and failed)... but is only 23 and finished with 13pts in his last 14.

Congrats Zamoboni on a terrific season!

It's my favorite time of year; just like actual hockey... It will be really interesting to see how this plays out at the top. I'm still kinda in no-mans land at #4; with the top 3 grouped together so tightly - but I'm not out of reach by any means.

Thanks- I’m fine with that. I grabbed him for some spot play with Murray still not playing. Like Schneider, I’m sure Holtby will get out of his funk. Im not that invested and was only thinking about a trade bait tbh, but Id argue that dropping him makes him a free agent eligible to be kept... provided he was dropped in competitive good faith (ie not liking his performance and rather use the roster spot elsewhere As opposed to just dropping because season is lost)... but like I’m said I’m fine with it. I have use for him now for a few games. I also waited to ask to not bring attention to him.

Digging through, I can’t find our keeper rules aside from after round 5 or free agent. Holtby was drafted high, but has stunk it up of late and wound up dropped. I acquired him as a free agent. Is he keeper eligible if I want to take a flyer on him next season?

I want to break into the top 3... I’m back at 4 right now. Last time I climbed to 4, I took a hard dip down... hopefully I can maintain and build. I have some more points to collect, but in some of the categories I’m not going to make enough progress.

Your false is correct. It’s by design after the NHL trade deadline to allow for trades after players settle into their new teams.

Sworn Defenders earlier this week in a depth d move welcomed Zdeno Chara and Mike Green (along with an 18th). Officially giving up on Klefbom in an Oilers down year along with Olli Maata and a 14th. In more impactful news, Sworn D sends off Thomas Vanek, Boone Jenner, Josh Morrisey and a 7th rounder for a 17, Brayden Schenn, Erik Karlsson and bringing back a team favorite, Jonathan Quick who will be the presumptive starter with Murray remaining as an insurance policy and keeper candidate.

You mean in order of finish, right, 1-14, right? Wouldnt inverse after 1st be; 1,14-2.
