A Blackhawks fan in one of my leagues drafted Bedard over McDavid. My head almost exploded. The guy drafting next must have thought he was seeing things.
Here we go again. Annual avoid Marchand video. Always great PPP, PIM, GWG and very good G, A, HIT, +/- . Despite injuries, he was top 20 player even last year in categories leagues.
Marchand has been declining by 10 pts per season . Over 3 season . Also playing on team Canada, Four Nations cup. This will add to his work load. Even if he stays healthy, which is unlikely…. Bruins will be looking to use “load management” to rest this veteran player. To get him in top form for playoffs
He had three different injuries last year and played with scrubs. Now he’ll be with lindholm and pasta finally being healthy.. this is a terrible take watch him out up 95+ points
@@aidanticknor5187 that’s 3 different reasons to fade him, this year. I’m predicting he misses a fair bit of action this year, and comes in shy of the 69 point mark……. We’ll see.
I get to keep 2 in a cats league. Looking for help on 2nd keeper. G,A,PPP,shots,hits,+/- Wins, GAA, SV %, saves Robertson in the 5th Reinhart in the 7th Bobrovsky in the 9th Forsberg in the 13th *keeping Lmk what you guys think. Love the videos!
Pens actually got better when Guentzel left which baffled everyone.IDC about goalies at all I pick whomever is on a good team.Huberdeau needs scorers around him because he is not a scorer he is only a passer similar to Thornton but not as tough as Joe was. I have not looked over the rosters enough to make legit picks for a Fantasy league but offhand I can't think of anyone who will be an absolute surprise steal.I would say maybe a hawks player could be a steal if Bedard elevates his game but in a Fantasy pool I also want PLUS players because it is still one category every bit as valuable as a goals or assists .
Would you be willing or interested in doing a few episodes focused on keeper leagues?? A bunch of us used to do a keeper league and we have decided to start it up again fresh. Having a hard time finding draft strategy content for keeper league inaugural drafts. I'm confident in my knowledge but it would be nice to have some draft rankings for keeper leagues. Easiest example is connor Bedard, he's a 3rd or 4th round pick in a 1 year league but no doubt a first round pick in a keeper league. When do you pick the fantilli, Cooley, michkov, celebrini types over a proven scorer in his late 20's? Completely different thought process in a keeper league draft.
Marchand did drop to his worst +/- in many years so he is likely fading. Boeser is abit tough because he had an amazing jump in plus/minus but of course your surrounding players make that happen.Another positive he did maintain HQ play in the playoffs but his S% will most definitely drop his shot total was good again 2/gm in the playoffs so he should be around 30-35 and maybe 78-85pts.Boeser able to still produce in the playoffs is quite a feat because the officiating was absolutely garbage they allowed teams to interfere on the forecheck which limited offensive chances by a lot. Reinhart will obviously drop so as long as you realize his real potential then he is still a good pick.IMO 39-43-82 pts and less on the PP maybe 27. I happen to be a Dallas fan and the reason THEIR players are bad picks is because they spread out the ice time and PP over 3 lines and that is why Robertson dropped off.
I will hope to god my league members would see this video and allow Brad Marchand to drop. He’s going to continue to get all the ice time in the world in Boston, PP1, PK1, consistently top 3 in team scoring, I will gladly take Brad Marchand in the later rounds once again this year. 60+ point player practically guaranteed
I didn’t see him on PP1 towards the end of last season, or in the playoffs much If I rember correctly , but I may be wrong . Sports books have his over/under point total set at 68.5 or 67.5 for the season . … I’m all over the under in this one. Especially at 68.5. He had 67 last year. But that was in a full 82 game season. I don’t see any chance of him getting anywhere near 82 games this year. Especially when you add additional games for team Canada (four nations cup).
Nobody is taking Huberdeau. Or Pierre Luc Dubois. Marchand is coming off three surgeries. Reinhart is a 30 goal 70 point guy. Didn't know Jarry ended that poorly. Thanks
Agree with 4 of the 5 Reinhart has duel position, and as silly as it sounds, he can put up 40-45 g and 40-45 a. His deployment is great, key post on a strong pp. While goals will regress, he may increase his assists. Very efficient shot historically, so that normalizes to 17-18% again. I would draft him ahead of Aho and Robertson . To each there own though
I typically like FDF, or even FDD, if you can get Josi and like Dahlin. FP Mike has a good draft strat video for pick 1-6, it's a good watch and can help answer this for you!
There's a lot of great players late in drafts that either provide more upside or are in better positions to be a league winner. Huberdeau also still maintains some name value that people will recognize that aren't as familiar with some of the better options in that range.
@@fantasypuck I'm not a fan of Huberdeau either, but calling a player who scored over a 100 points just 3 seasons ago with an ADP of 159,(mid rd 13 pick), a must avoid player? There are much better examples of players to avoid at their ADP IMO. Kreider, Forsberg, Eichel and Ovechkin all guys I'm avoiding at ADP
No Kreider? I thought you said in a mock he was one your must avoids. Just curious as to why? I assume his ADP? I got him as a steal last season and he was a league winner. Lots of PP points, hits, and goal heavy which is great for my league format.
I find he is going too early. He is obviously good, just less than other players available at that time. Like most players, there is a pick where they are worth it.
yeah with him its mostly ADP, Kreider is still a solid 35 goal guy with good shot and hit totals, not really actively avoiding him just seem to be looking elsewhere in drafts in his range.

Avoiding mcdavid seems like the right thing to do this year
Definitely. He wasn’t even a top 3 player in most points leagues. SMH. He’s obviously washed and should drop to, say, pick 8?
Hahaha.

Found the person who drafts 2nd overall.
That bum should go undrafted
Good takes. A lot depends on your league settings though. Jarry and Huberdeau are waiver wire adds at best
I will very specifically pick these guys in fppl so I can become the champ I know I can be on Wednesdays
Hahaha
they're all having career years

Hey mike, we have a Keeper/Dynasty channel in discord where we go over these types of questions more in depth!
Totally agree with Reinhart
Marchand did drop to his worst +/- in many years so he is likely fading.
Boeser is abit tough because he had an amazing jump in plus/minus but of course your surrounding players make that happen.Another positive he did maintain HQ play in the playoffs but his S% will most definitely drop his shot total was good again 2/gm in the playoffs so he should be around 30-35 and maybe 78-85pts.Boeser able to still produce in the playoffs is quite a feat because the officiating was absolutely garbage they allowed teams to interfere on the forecheck which limited offensive chances by a lot.

Do I keep Evan Bouchard or Kaprizov or Roman Josi Already have Austin Matthews is my one keeper and it’s only a two keeper league.
Josi
Josi
Kaprizov not close
Can't argue against any of these. Particularly Jarry. Never was a fan of his and I think Pitt may be in the bottom 3 teams in the East.
Hot Take if Timo Meier is available 40-50+ this year
Well reinhart is on fire
Zach Hyman
Nobody is taking Huberdeau. Or Pierre Luc Dubois. Marchand is coming off three surgeries.
Reinhart is a 30 goal 70 point guy.
Didn't know Jarry ended that poorly.

Should my first 3 picks go F D F or F F D? H2H points league.

Imo FDD unless you get Makar then probably DFD
check out our draft strategy video!

a player who is being drafted at ADP 159 is a "must avoid" ? more like a late rd dart throw/lotto ticket
There's a lot of great players late in drafts that either provide more upside or are in better positions to be a league winner. Huberdeau also still maintains some name value that people will recognize that aren't as familiar with some of the better options in that range.

Jay rob and Point clearly better then Reinhart is a reach
Drafting Reinhart in 2nd or 3rd is fine. He's a PP specialist and has C/RW, which is great.
Thats right
No Kreider? I thought you said in a mock he was one your must avoids. Just curious as to why? I assume his ADP?

Draft Timo Meier over Reinhart and Boeser
Avoid Frederic Andersen
Some funny comments here. All these guys you chose could have great years. I see your point at least on all of them anyways
NJ Devils need to win trade Mercer for Huberdeau,Crosby,or Boeser
Brock will get 35 goals
His goal production decreased significantly in the 2nd half of last season.
I’m predicting under 33
How bout 5 must draft
