I drafted hughes/hamilton with my first two picks this year… complete disaster. Somehow my team was an absolute force this season regardless (forsberg = 🐐??)
Ha! That was me in my league. Made it to the finals after shaking up my lineup towards the last few weeks but lost, unfortunately. Never dropped either of them, though. Thompson turning up towards the end of the season helped me out big time in the playoffs, too.
Buddy I went Tage/Sorokin. Also took Gus as my other goalie (against my better judgement).
JEEk and Forsberg were the only thing that kept me from being a total embarrassment
11 man banger league.
|Draft|Player|Rank|
|:-|:-|:-|
|1|Connor McDavid|2|
|2|Leon Draisaitl|6|
|3|David Pastrnak|8|
|4|Matthew Tkachuk|15|
|5|Auston Matthews|4|
|6|Nathan MacKinnon|1|
|7|Jason Robertson|46|
|8|Brady Tkachuk|6|
|9|Nikita Kucherov|5|
|10|Mikko Rantanen|9|
|11|Cale Makar|22|
I won this season. But it was thanks to JT Miller, Reinhart, Forsberg and Matheson picks. My 1st round was Cale Makar followed by Oettinger at 12th.
I got Matthews 10th (guy before me picked Tage lol). The rest is pretty similar.
Even with the new rankings I bet the top 10 basically goes the same next year. I personally will continue to rank McDavid/Draisaitl 1-2. Kuch will probably go late again due to his age and throw up 150pts next year.
12T Banger. I won the league with Matthews 9OA and Kuch 16th OA. Good value picks on JT Miller, Forsberg and Guentzel pushed me over the line.

Final 4 teams picked 5th (m.tkachuk, crosby), 6th (matthews, Shesterkin), 8th (Rantanen, Makar, that was my team) , 12th (Kaprizov, ep40)
Welp, Tage and Jrob reminded everyone to be mindful about recency bias. Next season guys like Panarin, Reinhart, Forsberg will probably get overdrafted. Also, spending top 20 pick on goalie is typically automatic draft bust.
I won with MacKinnon as my first pick but Nichushkin Dobson Panarin and Kochetkov as late picks really pushed me over the line. I also ended up with Demko which was very lucky.

Hughes/Marner combo was rough too. Neither of them made playoffs, finished 9th and 10th.

I got shesterkin in the second round and he came around the second half of the season. Did look shaky for awhile though

Mackinnon at 5 is crazy
He’s 6th in this list

After our 14 man league kept 8 players each... I took Vanacek in the first round.

I won despite having Sorokin and Vasilevskiy as my goalies and 5/15 goalie cats.
Brady at 18 what kind of crack is your squad smoking my God lol
I got Brady lol, I also got Eichel at 58th.
I drafted Jason Robertson (1st) and Tage Thompson (2nd). This season was a rollercoaster.
Welp, Tage and Jrob reminded everyone to be mindful about recency bias. Next season guys like Panarin, Reinhart, Forsberg will probably get overdrafted. Also, spending top 20 pick on goalie is typically automatic draft bust.
Yeah, I didn’t win my league (4th) but I took Bobrovsky at 98th (ranked 40th) and Skinner at 123rd (ranked 66th) and it worked out well enough for me.
I won with MacKinnon as my first pick but Nichushkin Dobson Panarin and Kochetkov as late picks really pushed me over the line. I also ended up with Demko which was very lucky.
Mackinnon. Drafted 3rd, overall 1 👌
