McDavid vs Makar "longevity"

I know this is a matter of opinion and perspective but I feel as though this is one of the best Fantasy Forwards and Fantasy Defenceman in the league.

Based on their age, who would you rather build your team around in a CATS BANGER league for the next 10 years?

McDavid - who can put up over 100 points each year and fill the G, A, PP and shots departments or Makar - who can do the same (on a smaller level), with the addition on blocks?

Any other insights or thoughts?

Alexander Romanov

What are your thoughts on Romanov ROS. I’m in a bangers league, and with Dobson being out he has been stellar. Good ice time (27mins last game), lots of hits and blocks, plus scoring recently. Sell soon while he’s high, or hold?

Are Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith the next McDavid/Draisaitl?

I just started my Dynasty Hockey league this year and I went with the approach of young talent. My hope and recent thought since these two are 18/19 years old and spend a bunch of time together is that they’ll blossom into my foundational pieces. What do yall think?

Dostal or Gibson

Noticing Anaheim has a good amount of games in the next couple weeks but, I’m not sure who gets more starts or who is better overall.

Brock Faber

What exactly is his deal? Anyone watch the games and feel like he has any chance of becoming a fantasy asset this season?

Morgan Frost usage with the flames

I don’t know the Flames roster too well, but with Morgan Frost joining the team, where do you think he’ll slot in the lineup? Will he get power play time?

Anyone else enjoying the shorthanded points today?

I have 5 players with a SHP tonight... might be a record for myself and I've been playing fantasy for almost a decade; AND they all weren't even contributing to the same goals. (Norris, Zacha, Hagel, Sanderson, LaCombe).

I'm sure someone out there today could have had even ten SHPs, so I'm curious to hear

Notifications for goalie starters?

Is there a way to get notifications of confirmed goalie starters rather than me frequently checking dailyfaceoff? Would be nice if i could get a notification when the starter is confirmed e.g. Daccord confirmed starting today

Do you think his offensive production is sustainable? He is currently on the 3rd line and on the 1st powerplay.not sure if I should sell him high or keep him?

Matvei Michkov

Anyone holding on to this kid? Such promise, I understand it's Torts but his TOI keeps falling of a cliff. Thinking of picking up Dylan Guenther.

4 Nations Tournament. How does fantasy scheduling work for that in a head to head league?

Hey everyone. Just wondering how the week is going to look when the 4 nations tournament/break starts. Is that "week" actually going to be 2 weeks to account for that?

Who's your Future Fantasy Defenseman?

There's some awesome talent coming down the pipeline in terms of future Fantasy Defenseman. Wanted to see who everyone has on their radar for defense prospects!

Right now I'm high on Zeev Buium and Alex Nikishin. I think both are studs and should be impactful right out the gate. Interested to see how people rank their top prospects!

I think other notable names we could see in the very near future are Parekh, Dickinson, and Yakemchuk. For me I have:

  1. Nikishin
  2. Buium
  3. Dickinson
  4. Parekh
  5. Yakemchuck.

I'm still not sold on Levshunov from a fantasy standpoint. I think he'll be a great player, but more in the sense of a Brent Seabrook vs. Duncan Keith.

Let's hear everyone's thoughts!!

Thanks all! Good luck for the rest of the season for all!

What are your thoughts on “trading down” to improve a certain position?

For example, you have multiple offensive wingers, but no real offensive defensemen. Is it a good idea to make a move and trade a winger to get a Dman? Maybe a 74 ranked forward for a 103 ranked D?

Mark Scheifele

Do we think his point production stays solid for the rest of the season? What are Scheifele owners doing with him as the playoffs slowly approach?

Commish advice

Any keeper league commissioners out there? I’ve started a league with a buddy and we’ve got a couple question about draft picks and how to go about players to keep.

What's taking the time with giving Marky Mark his IR status on Yahoo? Is there something else to the injury?
