Welp....
Here is what I did....
I am not proud.
BNL votes 2020
This is actually quite difficult. I could spend hours trying to justify this but I dont have time for that crap.
the Pacif
1 Vegas (A top end one two center punch, dicey on the wings but a top end defense group)
2 Edmonton (Not a huge fan of the wings....but I do like the defense....and they have Crosby and Price)
3 SJ (Kadri? wtf? I do like the wingers though....and I think the D group s underrated)
4 LA (pretty close to going with Anaheim, Markstrom)
5 Anaheim (Luke Kunin....I dont know who you are.....I feel shame. This team is probably awesome)
6 Arizona (Not a gaudreau fan, or a fan of the centers. The wings are good though. The D and Quick dont really help me)
7 Calgary (Nostrils has a good line...after that Im a little worried....basically all the way down to Kuemper)
8 Vancouver (This roster is probably much better than it looks.....but it looks like shit). Almost as confusing as my team)
Central
1 Dallas (Actually this team is really solid. Well done...whoever you are)
2 .Chicago (Gusev and Labanc.....this cant be right...*checks the rest of the division* ....oh) <----that D tho
3 Winnpeg (Defensively seems like a horse of a team at first glance.....at second glance TJ plays LW?)
4 Colorado (McDavid)
5 St Louis (I wanted Necas, and Kempe, and Parayko....amd Couts....just some solid players here....)
6 Nashville (a lot of guys that I wouldnt want in my top 9.....but who the f*** am I to say?)
7 Minnesota (James Neal)
Metro
1 Columbus (Solid until Namestnikov and Boqvist for me....which is pretty good. But this division....kill me now.)
2 New Jersey (well balanced....albeit young....another solid top 6)
3 Carolina (this team seems pretty filthy but I dont know some of these guys that well)
4 NYI (Well balanced for me....I had to come back around)
5 Philadelphia (equal parts solid and dicey....its was Weal.....and marleau....and Edler)
6 Washington (honestly Sweden would destroy the NHL....they jus know how to team) <-- may have been bumped up to 5??
7 NYR (what do you want from me??!? The defence is wrecking me)
8 Pittsburgh (I failed the Metro)
Atlantic
1 Tampa (so smooth)
2 Detroit (pumping my tires)
3 Florida (I had to think on this one...I had to work to justify Perry on the 1st line...pretty high end core)
4 Buffalo (A solid team with high end goaltending....not much star power....)
5 Montreal (its a toss up between Montreal and Toronto but I went with Bob....and with Giordano. Trophy winners)
6 Toronto (Solidly deep....lacking a superstar IMO)
7 Boston (I dont know. Im really not a big fan of the wings or the defense....its hard to tell though)
8 Ottawa (not really big on the RS defence or centers....I tried to not vote Ottawa last)
Apologies for mistakes/typos....or if I trashed your team.
Glad to see my Stars at the top of the central. Wasn’t sure how they were going to be perceived as they don’t have a ton of eye popping talent
3 Winnpeg (Defensively seems like a horse of a team at first glance.....at second glance TJ plays LW?)
No. First and foremost, you keep Dumoulin-Carlson together.@Joey Moss - I’m about to go full on mental, but I’d like to change my lines to the following with the following disclaimers placed in brackets so that posters (hopefully) know where I’m coming from.
Marcus Foligno - Jean Gabriel Pageau - Trevor Lewis (shutdown line against opposing top line)
Nikolaj Ehlers - Mark Scheifele - Kasperi Kapanen (play against opposing teams’ 2nd line)
James Neal - Jeff Carter - Tyler Toffoli
Tyler Motte - Riley Nash - Ryan Hartman
Dumoulin - Mayfield (play behind JPG line)
Skeji-Carlson (play behind Scheifele and Jeff Carter line)
Staal - Roy (limited minutes playing behind 4th line).
Carter Hart
Jaroslav Halak
No. First and foremost, you keep Dumoulin-Carlson together.
Second, your first line needs to be Ehlers-Scheifele-Toffoli as a power vs power line.
Run your second line as Foligno-JGP-Lewis as a shutdown, then your third as Neal-Carter-Kapanen for buttersoft minutes. Neal with JGP undoes the line as a shutdown line, but you can switch Lewis and Kapanen so that your shutdown has more skill but less defensive effectiveness while your third can handle harder minutes than before.
You overthought!!
Honestly I'm not mad at him putting Gally on the top line. If anyone's gonna pick up his slack, it'd be Mark Stone.
I'm not necessarily docking you for having a player who struggled on your roster. Players bounce back. Especially guys still in their prime playing years. My concern is whether or not you see them as an afterthought. If Gally's on a fourth line with a bunch of grinders, you shouldn't have picked him.
Buchnevich for Wilson? Buch can play either side and underlying stats say he's a bonafide first line player.That was my though. Every year besides this year he’s scored 40-50. I think the chances of him getting those points is low, but unfortunately I waited far to long on left wingers
some guy voted me 6th in my division while i got compliments on my team all draft long, i wish i wasn't an insecure mess.
*Nerd face*
Dallas has 3 (fox siegenthaler stone) and 4 (fox dubois gurianov siegenthaler) of my hindsight picks with 16th and 4th overall draft board. Meaning they drafted steals
I'd wager if your team and his were not side by side (allowing for direct comparisons), you'd fair better.
In this case people are imagining 7 game playoff scenarios, rather than 82 game regular season games. This is where his team having Wilson has the #intangibles. And maybe that combination plus 3rd line matchups of Bonino Armia vs Dach Kahun in their first playoff games will make the youngsters cry.
