LT's Auction Game v4 - Rules & Discussion

[McDoused]

For those of you not already in our Discord, we have a server dedicated just to these GM games. There's more regular discussion and lots of info.

We'll also be doing live announcements (with gifs!) in the discord each day.

PM me if you're interested in joining.

It's honestly the best part.

You will need a team name and abbreviation if you have not already picked one.

You all have received a code word sent via PM. This is required to verify that it is indeed you who is making the bids. We've had issues with fraudulent bids being placed in the past, so this measure prevents that from happening again.

Happy to take any questions!

 

[LT]

I'll be away for the rest of the night, but there are plenty of regulars in here who can also answer questions.

Moving forward:

Any players that are tied for under 1.5M in cap will be settled with a randomizer.

There are too many potentially very close ties for 1M caliber players and I don't think it's worth the effort to go through and get new bids for these guys.

If you really want a guy, don't bid less than 1.5M on him.

Tomorrow at 8 PM Central I will post a form for roster submissions. You'll submit your roster and lines as you would like to see them presented in voting.

Failure to submit this form will mean that you won't be a part of the playoff bracket. This roster is vital for me to use, I don't have the time or energy to create rosters for each of you myself.

Don't want to make more work for you--but it would make voting easier if GMs gave some insight into their thought process in roster construction and line combinations. Also, I would really be interested if other GMs had an overriding goal.

For instance, I filtered players to create a highly disciplined lineup. As proxy for discipline I used PIM (all my team had <30 last season and/or <30 average for 250 games). As a secondary proxy I looked for forwards who had more TK than GV (these two factors definitely influenced my entire third line).

Maybe others can post team analysis in this thread.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

William Eklund - Matt Barzal - David Pastrnak
Frank Vatrano - Philip Danault - Evan Rodrigues
Anthony Duclair - Anton Lundell - Connor Brown
Liam O'Brien - David Kampf- Brendan Gallagher

Dmitry Kulikov - Neal Pionk
Shane Ghostisbhere - Henri Jokiharhu
Mario Ferraro - Brandt Clarke

Sam Montembeault - Phillip Grubauer

With so many teams I didn't expect anyone to have an overall awesome team, so focused on having specific skill sets. I wanted a guaranteed goalscorer that turns up in big moments (Pasta) and then wanted a playmaker to partner with him (Barzal) plus younger speed. Danault, Lundell, Kampf down the middle from 2C is quite possibly the most defensively sound trio in the league in those spots and having Vatrano and Duclair add scoring depth, with E-Rod's work ethic and Brown being on a legendary playoff PK this spring. I'd be happy to roll Danault and Lundell against the top two Cs for any side if needed, to shut down their threat. O'Brien and Gallagher are the a-holes every team need some of.

I wanted puck-moving D predominantly and whilst there isn't a superstar (Clarke may become one), my forward group should counteract some of that with the defensive skills they have. Pionk has become more physical and Ferraro was top 10 in shots blocked last season.

Two solid goalies and hopefully I'd only need them to be decent, with the aim to keep shots against low. Grubauer was similar to Vasi this season in numbers and Montembeault had a save % just below Oettinger and Markstrom whilst on a team that sucked.
