Jason Robertson

Is he the most infuriating player to roster? He looks so slow compared to everyone on the ice. Doesn't shoot like he used to. I don't understand because he's in his prime at his mid twenties. I've had him in my keeper/dynasty league for 3 years, and I'm just so frustrated.. I'm benching him on full days now. Any Dallas fans have input?

Patrick Kane

This was addressed last month, but the struggles continue even though the ice time remains consistent.

I’m in a bangers category league and this guy’s ranking is 330ish. He feels like a dead weight on my roster, which previously would have been blasphemy to say at any other point in history.

I am guilty of not watching the Wings more than once this year, but is this a bad luck thing or has he lost the step and we shouldn’t expect a regression to the mean?

No obvious direct replacement available, more considering to create roster flexibility in a 12 team keeper league.

Going through Hell(ebuyck)

Playing against Helle owners in two different leagues… I’m defo losing the 3 goalie cats in one league and in my point league he will most likely finish the week with around 38 points unless something changes in the next 4 minutes. Damn these jets are hot right now and I needed to vent.

Edit : Hintz is not on my team but gave me 5 points thank fucking god

Thoughts on a player recommender tool based on your matchup?

Hey all! I'm always thinking about tools that I could make surrounding NHL fantasy and I had the idea of making a tool that can recommend the "most ideal" or "best" player for you to pick up based on your matchup score. It would also allow you to get a recommendation for a category like "who is the best player to pick up if I want more goals?". What are your thoughts on this? Would you use something like this? I'd love to hear any opinions from the community! Thank you :)

What’s a good website for trade value or start/sit or analytics? Articles would be nice as well, but you can get those on yahoo or espn. I’m trying to win my league with some help this year!

Radko Gudas owners rejoice!

Radko got his first point of the season last night with an assist against the Wild. Could this finally be the year he wins his first Norris Trophy?

Will Trevor Zegras be a relevant/impact fantasy player by the end of this season?

Whispers that his overall game has been better, but little to no production as of yet. Can he turn the page or is he truly amongst the overrated and continuing to show true colours?

Drouin/Lehkonen/Nichushkin

What is the priority order with these 3 Avs? Not too familiar with Colorado's roster or how lines will shake out. Currently holding Lehkonen and have Drouin on IR, waiting to snag Nuke at the opportune time.

ESPN Categories Question- Is there a way to see team stats added up throughout the season?

Was curious to see which teams in my league were thriving and doing poorly in each individual category. I’m not too familiar with the desktop version so maybe it’s on there? If anyone knows let me know

Alex Laferriere

Been riding the Laf factory since the start of the season and a bit concerned with his recent placement on the third line. He's still on PP1 and playing decent minutes, but thinking it might be time to sell high before he loses value. Any suggestions on any buy low trade targets? In a catagories league - G A S +/- H & B

Outlook on Zibanejad

How are we feeling about this guy? Is he worth keeping for a hot streak? It seems like this year is worse than his usual cold bouts.

Shooting seems to be down, with a little upside recently. Scoring is down. His minutes are around the same but I'm worried the young Rangers are going to start to eat into his opportunities soon.

Saaros & Swayman

Well, what do you think? Based upon history, I landed two top goalies. Based on this year, they have me wanting to put my head through a wall. I know Saaros usually gets better through the season, but Nashville’s D doesn’t look so hot. Part of me believes in both goalies/teams, but they’re costing me many many points each week. Thoughts?

Elias Pettersson

What is the verdict on EP40? Some people claim he's been injured all season and others say it's all a mental funk. His production is nowhere near the last two seasons but his regular season pedigree is so high and he seems like a potential league-winning player if you can buy low on him. I've been targeting him for a few days now, but before I start negotiations I was curious what the general consensus on him is.

Ryan Nugent-Hopkins

He’s averaging less than 2 shots per game and is no longer playing on a line with McDavid - has been put on the third line with Henrique and Brown. It seems like he’s not going to return anywhere close to the 22-23 season, and not even hit his okay-ish numbers from last season. Is he finally a drop now?
