Welcome to Fantasy Hockey Life, presented by fan Tracks. Here's shits, your
source of information and analysis to help you win your fantasy hockey league. Block
off hot a step hit on staylock blocks. Here's your hosts, Jesse souvi
Here and Victor nun You Fantasy Hockey Live once again. Jesse Severe from fan
Tracks. That guy over there who you're looking at, except that you're not
is Victor Nunno of EP Ring Side. It's Victor. How you doing,
man, I'm good. I was wondering how you were looking at me.
I was warning if there is a looking around for a secret camera, but
I don't think there is one. It's good to be here. It's good
to see you, Jesse. Our last show of the year, twenty twenty
three. Yeah, how you doing? Yeah, I'm good man. So
apparently Victor has not yet discovered the extreme spy on Victor now dot Com that
you can just get twenty four to seven watch Victor. But that's a okay,
that's probably better that he doesn't know. And yeah, it is our
last show of the year. Yes, let me think about to do the
math. Yes, this will come out before the end of the year.
And Victor, were I've been watching me some World Juniors. You and I
are into the World Juniors right now. So that's some good times, right
USA. Is that the way you're feeling about it? Yeah, it was
some good rompings of some of the lower teams, and then they when they
went up against the Checks and then by the time you hear this, the
Slovaks, those are some pretty decent teams and they had a bit of a
difficult time. I would say, I think they've suffered from what I think
some of the high profile teams have in the past, where they're trying to
do too many fancy things, too many no look drop passes and really really
long stretch passes, and some of those fancy plays have backfired on them.
And not to take anything away from the Checks, because they're a good team,
but the Americans probably should have won that game more handily, and I
think if they had their number one goaltender, it wouldn't have been quite as
close. But they also need to clean up their act a little bit.
The number one goaltender, Victor is just bitter because my Jacob Fowler, who
I took in the pool that he listened last episode, has had two starts
to Trey Augustine, his pick has only had one. He's still in denial.
That means that Augustine is the better goalie who suddenly, all of a
sudden, I believe Jacob Fowler is the best goalie since I don't know Dominic
Kashik, No Victor. Right now, we are pissing off a bunch of
people who have tuned in, maybe for the first time, to our show,
and that is our Keeping Carlson crossover audience. They wanted us to get
on to the stuff because they were told to show up here for the meeting
and they're waiting for it to start. What is happening today, everybody,
if you don't listen to Keeping Carlson the podcast to really helped us get our
start. We met as a offshoot of some of their stuff. We've had
Elon on the show before a couple of times, and we love Elon,
Debrowski, Brian Kam And what we're doing today is our annual I think our
third annual, right, Victor cross Sober New Year's Draft is this is the
third one, right? I believe? So yeah yeah? And what we
will explain the rules a little bit as we get into the episode, but
this is a two parter. The first part is on our feed, gracious
that the Keeping Carlson Boys are going to let that happen, and then on
the second half it will be on the Keeping Carlson Feed. So this week
you'll have to download one from each side to get the full story. And
it's a whole lot of fun. Victor, we haven't even done this yet.
The draft hasn't happened. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to win handily
and you'll be in last place. Actually, just the opposite. I'm pretty
sure you will win handily and I will be in last place. Is which
one of those is accurate? You know, probably neither. The Keeping Carlson
Boys are so smart. I think we've we struggled against them because we tend
to have a little bit of a longer dynasty view. But I think that
we've there's been some mixed results in there, but I think Elon's generally taking
it to us. So we're trying to we're huddling, we're reconvening, we're
trying to adjust our strategies. But hopefully, I think the biggest thing is
that we can just give some Hopefully helpful, take some rest of season stream
kind of guys that can be useful in your fantasy. That's really what it's
all about. And hopefully, hopefully we don't come in third and fourth.
I think that's the goal. Jesse. We are a couple of Kenyan marathoners
going up against the couple of Bahamanian sprinters and this is a two hundred,
but dog on it, Victor and I are going to put in the game
effort that we can do. So Victor, let's take a little break.
We're gonna come back. And the sound you're about to hear after this is
four people doing a full draft. We're back and it is now four of
us. He went to Barrowsky, myself, Victor, Nunio, Lewis,
Ezekiel, we are all here on the Keeping Carlson live screen and we are
ready to do a draft. We're ready to go through all thirty two teams
and if you're not familiar with our format, we we select which team is
going to be picked, and then each of the four of us are going
to take one player in a particular sequence, which I'll have Elon explained to
me in a minute, because I will goof it. But we are basically
going through that. At the end of the draft, we have to have
at least eight defensemen and we will have thirty two players on our team.
And we'll start, I believe, January first, and at the end of
the season, whoever has the most points that is straight up points a goal
plus assists is the winner, and so the four of us will be competing
in that category. But elon, when we get past that and we start
talking about the order of how we're selecting teams and how we select players beyond
that, perhaps you can help take it from there. All right, Yeah,
happy to be here, Thanks for the invites back on the Fantay Hockey
Life podcast. Yeah, so this is the draft. As you said,
we're it's going to take turns. Whoever has first pick in the round also
picks the team for that round. And the other big rule is that the
only players eligible for theft are people that are less than ninety five percent rostered
in the couples. There's forty plus divisions in the keeping Carlson Ultimate Patron Fantasy
League and Kevin A Bear has generated a bunch of awesome stats for us,
and I think this is one of the most valuables a couple percent rosters.
You look at Yahoo percent rostered or fan tracks, and those are all different
league formats. And also there's a bunch of deadleagues. Here's you could know.
This is a good way to tell like which players are like super valuable,
which ones aren't as much according to the couple of managers. But yeah,
we're making this tough on ourselves by restricting it at less than ninety five,
so all the big stars aren't going to be available. So with that
in mind, I've shared my screen here for people watching live. I've got
random dot org open, so everyone knows I'm not doing any shenanigans. I'm
gonna click randomize right now and Jesse Elon, Victor Lewis. Let me throw
this in here. Jesse then Elon Victor Lewis, and we're snaking this time.
So the first four rounds that will be the order, but then the
next four rounds it'll be Lewis, then Victor, that Elon than Jesse,
and each round though still will go in the same order. If Jesse picks
first, it goes Jesse Elan Victor Lewis. Then afterwards when I'm first,
will be Elon Victor Lewis, Jesse, and vice versa. So we'll figure
out as we go. My spreadsheet will tell us what to do with that.
I don't need to scare share my screen anymore. And I guess Jesse,
you get the first overall pick in the draft. Oh boy, this
is pressure because everybody probably has a sense of who would be the best player
to take. At this point, I'm going to think strategically about this.
Maybe I shouldn't be this early in the draft, but I'm going to take
the Philadelphia Flyers in Cam York so that I have a power play one defenseman
going in and I don't necessarily like the lower guys on that roster, so
let's go with Cam York. All right, So it comes to me for
Philly, you've got Oh yeah, did did we mention? Yeah? Everyone
needs to have at least eight defencemen by the end of this. So this
thirty two teams, we're gonna have thirty two picks. Eight have to b
d So that's good that Jesse is able to knock one out Philly and you
got Cam York. Okay, so now it's my pick on the Flyers.
Yeah. Interesting, So we could mention by the way the people that are
not available, right, So I'm looking at the couple percent Rostered on Philly
and I'm not going to be able to take Connectney, Sandheim, Corturier,
Fairbe, tip It, and that's it. Everyone else is up for grabs.
I think it's a pretty easy choice for me. But of course,
with Tortorella switching things up, who knows if, like in a week,
I'll regret it, But for now, I guess I've got to go with
top line and top power. I guess not top line but top power play
Tyson Forrester is even I think they've already changed it. Actually, Couturier,
Connectney, Tippit and Frost were the top power plays. I don't know it's
Forester even the best, but anyway, I'll go Forrester. He seems good,
he's having a good season so far. But I think this is like
really just even like me, Victor and Lewis all are going to get someone
decent. But Victor your pick, Yeah, I agree, I think they're
all there's some interesting players. That was an interesting pick to go this one
first, Jessie, but I understand getting a decent defenseman and yeah, there's
a couple guys that I actually want that I won't spoil, but I just
worry that Soderella is gonna relegate them to the bottom. I think I'm gonna
go with maybe a bit of a safer pick because he's been in this position
for most of the season and I really like him. I wrote about him
already pee Ringside, and I think that he's on the up and up.
And that's Morgan Frost. I'm they take him second line center sometimes gets top
power play and gets pretty decent wingers to play with too, So I'll go
Frost all right. Stuck here with the last pick, I'm gonna go with
a guy who is shooting a ton and not seeing a lot for it.
I'll grab cam Atkinson with over one hundred shots and only eight goals and hopefully
he can turn things around a little bit. Not a great option necessarily for
that last grab, but when you're left with when you're left with the drags,
you take what you can get there. So I'll take Atkinson, all
right. So then it's over to me to start the next round here.
I'm gonna have first pick on a team, and yeah, I think I
know who I want, Like this guy Actually, I think he's just really
starting to go off. He's recently gotten top powerplay. So I'm going to
the Arizona Coyotes next, and the players I'm not eligible to take are Schmaltz,
Keller, Jersey and Laws and Kraus. They're all over ninety five.
But give me seventy nine percent rostered, and I think it's criminally low.
I think he should be higher. I would want him in my division if
he was available. To give me Matias Mitchelli over on the Coyotes. He
keeps on getting and a nice thing here is he's more of an assist guy
generally, but here we're playing points only, so I don't have to worry
about the lack of peripherals or goals. So I'm pretty happy to get happy
to get Michelle Oh yeah, over to Victor. Yeah. When I looked
at all these teams, Arizona was my number one pick in terms of the
team that I wanted, because I thought Michelli was far and away the best.
And yeah, I think he is criminally under rostered. But in a
format like a couple, it's a little bit difficult because he doesn't do anything
else. He just gets assists, but in this format he's fantastic. So
if you have a points only or points heavy league, then absolutely you you
should be happy about this one. This is there's some decent options here.
Arizona much better than we thought. So I think I'm going to take.
Yeah, I'll go ahead and take what I was gonna be like, Oh,
you don't have this all prepped in advance. Come on, man,
I was hoping, I was MICHELLI I do have it all prep I'm just
trying to decide. I guess I'll go with Alex Carfoot. He's been getting
some top line deployment with Schmault Color. I don't really believe in him too
much long term, but he's a decent option, all right. This was
one I was hoping to get as well. I had Michelle highlighted as a
guy I definitely wanted to go after. I am going to grab a defenseman.
I'll take JJ Moser here. Obviously we had the big kind of Jersey
explosion the other night, but Moser has been a guy who has made a
push here and there and has shown that he's been capable, and I like
him as a low owned defenseman to fill out one of those slots here since
I didn't get my top choice. Yeah, this one it gets obviously,
any team where you're going down the steep starts to get a little bit rougher.
But I'm going to bet on the upside and a guy who's starting to
get on the score sheet a little bit starting to and perhaps we'll climb up
the minutes in power play time and that will be Logan Cooley as my pick
for the Arizona Coyotes over to Victor. All Right, So I'm excited.
This was my second top team that I really wanted, and I'm going to
go to Florida because I think there's a clear top guy here and I'm going
to take Evan Rodriguez. He's been getting some pretty good deployment and he's getting
a decent number of points, so I'm happy to take him. So Florida,
Evan Rodriguez. Yeah, nice gramp there. I like that a lotof
let's see, not a lot left to choose from here, so I'm looking
at Gustav Flores, Len Oliver, Ekman, Larson, and Nico Mikola pretty
much all defense here as well. I'm going to go O E. L
He stepped into that role if we see something happen with Montour he's been slow.
Maybe maybe oel Or finds his way back onto that top power play at
some point. Just seems like a little bit of a safer grab than g
Force. Here two defencemen so far out of my first three. Yeah,
remember when Gustav Forstling was so cool because he was covering things back in the
great year of the Stanley Cup Finals run. I am going to go with
that nostalgia. Take another defenseman off the board and take Gustaf Warstling. Florida
is not a good team to go forth on. Foresling would have been a
good one there. I would have I was hoping you would maybe you love
your prospects. I thought you would have gone for Lundale. I guess Lundell's
not even a prospect anymore. At this point, I was next on my
list. He was next on my list, so obviously a k Blad Montuur,
Bobrovski obs okay chak. How's Pebroski on this list? I didn't do
this right, But anyways, for Haggy, Barkoff, Reinhart, Bennett,
all not available to us, I'll just take a defenseman. Also, I'll
admit I hadn't heard of Nico Mikola since the start of this season, and
we got some of some priffs, got points here and there. I don't
really want to take lond Hare. Let me just take a quick look at
the Florida line combos in their last game. Yeah, they got e rod,
Ryan, Hard and Barkov on one line for Haggi Kachuck in Bennet's.
The whole top six is either unavailable or taken. Now, did yeah give
me top pairing with Monto Mikola, And I guess that's my lot in life.
Over to Lewis to start the next round, all right, I think
I am going to take us down to Carolina because I have an opportunity to
sneak in just under that ninety five percent limit and grab Toyvo tra Viynen at
ninety four percent owned. I like him. With the other options on board
here, We've got Bunting, You've got Cociniemi as possibilities here, but I
like to outscoreus. Lewis, Yeah, come out, what are you doing?
Man? Oh? You guys all the picks right? Well, probably
won't be the last time, but yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and grab
Toyvo here. So, knowing that Tara Vinen is off the board, I
will still take the guy who is listed on the second line, listed on
the top power play right now, and that will be Michael Bunting of the
Carolina Hurricane. So give me Michael Bunting and let me hope that he has
a good second half, all right, And then so that leaves me with
not the most exciting guy, but before a third pick on Carolina when yeah,
they like the obvious guys that you would want to take that aren't available
Smashnikov, Burns, Brady Shay. Actually he would have been a good defenseman
to take, but he's over. He's one hundred percent roster right now.
I have him on my team. I was thinking of dropping him. That
might go down soon. Slave In also Nychs, Jarvis Ajo all unavailable to
me. So then Tevo and the Bunting also, So I guess I'll take
Yaesperry Kakaniemi, who every once in a while gets a Specialikov as a centerman.
You're talking about the Bunting on the top. That's going to change in
a day. They always change those lines. I Thinkkaniemi is the clear choice.
Here. I'm curious. No Victor disagrees. Why did you say Nason
is unavailable because he's thirteen percent? I say Nayson is unavailable? Yeah,
I didn't mean that. I must have meant someone else, Jarvis. Did
I say someone that's my pick Nason? Because yeah, he is getting,
as we know, fourth line, but top power play and actually has more
a better point pace on the season than me. But obviously Cokimi getting better,
better even strength deployment. Anyways, I think that Nason just continues to
do it. He just continues to get top power play and getting a reasonable
number of points. Right now, he's a zero point six points per game,
So that's a that's pretty decent for a bottom guy, fourth on the
team. I'll take that. So we're snaking around, which means Lewis gets
first again. Yeah, we're gonna head over to Dallas. We've got a
number of guys unavailable. Thomas Harley, Miro Hayskin and Rupe Matt du Shane,
Jason Rabbert and Joe Paveowski and Tyler Sagan all unavailable for selection here.
But there is one guy who gets that power play one time and is playing
on a pretty nice second line so we're gonna add Jamie Ben to the roster
here. I think he stands out head and shoulders above the other available options
that I am leaving you behind with here on the Dallas roster. Hey,
I don't mind having the second pick on this one. And is this the
smart money? Maybe not, but I do like me some Wyatt Johnson,
so I'm gonna take him as my Dallas Stars pick. I just see the
ceiling is the roof with mister Johnson. I would say that, Lewis.
I think it's a good pick. But I'll quibble with what you said about
Bend being on the second line. I think of it as like Sagan Dushane
and Mason Marchmont is that second line, and Ben is on the top powerplay
bout of the Ben Dedanov Johnston line. I don't know just I think of
it as the third but I guess who care. I guess I'm nitpicking,
but I'll take I'll take the second liner according to me, that's still available
in Mason Marchmid here, and I think that really ampers Victor. I think
he gets a bad pick here, but we'll see. Yeah, these options
are not great after what's left I'm surprised and also heartened to see that Thomas
Harley is one hundred percent rostered in a cup full. Is someone I've been
a fan of for a long time. Looking at the options here, there's
really not much much left, frankly, and there's some decent guys that have
good peripherals, like Yanny Hockinpah who bangs Esslndell, but he doesn't do a
lot of scoring. It's either him or yeah. So the don off point
four seven points per game. And then I think I'm just gonna add one
of my defensemen because Esslndell is not someone who's super exciting for points. He
bangs a lot, but and he's been really cold, so maybe he'll turn
things around. His five on five shooting percentage has been low, and his
secondary sist rate is low, so maybe he'll turn things around. Probably not,
but Essellent, it will be my pick. And then Victor looks like
you get another pick now because we're snaking back and now you're first. You
go from last to first, all right. I'm excited because there's I think
some pretty decent top teams that are teams that I would want to go first
with. So Yeah, this is a good one. I think that I'm
gonna I'm going to go to Winnipeg. So on Winnipeg, we have a
bunch of guys that you would expect are not available Gave Vallardi, Nick Eelers,
Connor Hellibubble. Obviously you no goalies Kyle Connor, Josh morrisy Mark Stifley,
and then there's a couple of guys under that ninety five percent. But
I'm going to go with Cole Profetti. He's been on that second line at
oftentimes top power play too, and he's someone who I think is really trending
up. He's been getting better and improving his all around play, so I
really like what I've been seeing there. Unfortunately, he hasn't always been on
the top power play, but I'm going to take Cole Profetti because I think
that even straight he can get a decent number of points rest the season.
Yeah. Nice. This is an interesting choice here because I could fill a
D slot potentially, or I could grab who I think will probably be a
more successful forward. But I think Jesse is going to like my selection here
because I'm going to go ahead and take Neil Pianc at eighty five percent,
not not a huge score, but somebody who was getting on the score sheet
every once in a while. I've streamed to have been here and there throughout
the season. So even though there is a forward that I want to grab,
I'm going to take the opportunity to fill out a third D slot.
So six picks in, I've got three of my D slots filled. I'm
feeling pretty good about that. That should give me some opportunities towards the end
of the draft, I hope where I'm not being forced to shoehorn in a
really crummy D and get a halfway decent one here. A couple roster ship
percentage just say one thing. But I'm going against the grind, probably leaving
elon something really nice here. But I'm gonna go with Alex. I follow.
He has a better power play deployment than some others who may come up
in this discussion. And while there's a possibility that the return of mister Kyle
Connor could mess him up, and Kyle Connor's unavailable, so I think I
get to talk about him. I still want I follow because those former Kings
are just thriving up there north of the border, all right, Yeah,
I was hoping that maybe Pianc would fall to me and I could fill a
second D. Getting a little nervous about that, but I got like Iago
Nino. He's the top points per game of the people left available. He's
on the line with Lowry and Appleton. These lines have nots. They need
to get Connor. I saw Connor skating today, so maybe soon Connor will
be back. Anyways, I'll take Nino Nita Rider. I hope he could
have a couple of multipoint games for me. And that takes us to around
seven and I've got the first pick over here. There's just not any D
that I want as a first pick at this point, so I'm gonna go
with a forward that i'm pretty about. Over in Pittsburgh, Ricardo Quel is
back. I'm sure he's going to get close to one hundred. We locked
in these roster percentages a couple of days ago. I don't even know if
maybe Raquel's gone up since he had his big game recently, but yeah,
give me a top line, top power play Ricard Raquel here to start off
the Pittsburgh Penguins and over to Victor. Yeah, that's a good one.
He's definitely been good since he's been back, and I don't mind this at
all because I think there's a pretty decent second pick. I think it it
slowed down a little bit after that, but I'm gonna take Riley Smith,
who's been pretty good all season, and his opportunity to may be hurt slightly
by Raquel coming back, but I still think he should be pretty decent,
So Riley Smith from all right, this puts me in another spot here.
I've got a couple options and the friends. I'm going D again. I'm
just going D heavy here is I can't not do it. I haven't gotten
to do a show, haven't gotten to celebrate my Marcus Patterson stream. I
figured I was talking with Elon about this three apps, three chances for him
too. I told him he was probably my best bet to get me three
a couple points with his peripherals, and he just went off for a four
point game. So I'm going to go ahead and grab Marcus Patterson. Do
I think the scoring will keep up the way it has? No but it
certainly seems, at least in the last game, that this Pittsburgh offense is
running somewhat from the blue line. So I think he's going to get a
chance to get involved. That's my guy. Here, yet another defenseman for
my squad. Wow, yeah, this is one of the teams you really
don't want to be last on, folks. I guess I'll go with the
guy who actually is rostered somewhere in a couple beyond this, and that's val
Terry pustin In. I wish I was taking a defenseman ear but at least
he's been off to a little bit of a what a hot start in his
career. He's yead two points on December twenty seven. That's a good thing.
That takes me right back, right. I get the first pick this
time, and a couple of the teams that I was hoping to get a
higher up pick on are still available. I am going to go to Victor's
favorite team, the Vegas Golden Knights, and take some Chandler Stevenson, the
bane of my existence, who somehow continues to thrive despite the fact that I
cannot see him as anymore than a CAP's fourth liner. So Chandler Stevenson for
me. All right, Yeah Stevenson gone, And yeah, that really doesn't
leave too much. There's a lot of players that are not available to be
taken on Vegas, Jay Theodore barbarashev Traangelo McNab more so for the peripherals,
but that's what we're going with, William Carlson, Marciasso, and then of
course Stone and Icle and then yeah, it really dips after that. Stevenson
at thirty four percent roster than everyone is like thirteen or less. I guess
I'll just take a d here since it's this kind of stinks. Jesse screwed
me here because this is one of my second picks. I want to get
something good with a second pick, and instead I think I'm gonna go with
I'm just trying to check quickly Vegas's last game to confirm this choice. I
guess maybe I'll take Nicholas Haggs, even play every game. He has seven
points of twenty nine games, and I'm not gonna take him, all right,
you know what, I changed my mind. Sorry, I'm doing this
on the fly here. I'm supposed to be a professional and have this all
prepped. I know I was already ragging on Victor earlier for this, but
I'm realizing I just didn't know. I didn't think through what was gonna happen.
Okay, you know what, I'll take a four. You don't have
this all prepped to Elon, I know the worst. Give me. Paul
Cotter's playing on a line with Marsha So and William Carlson recently. I need
to pick D at some point. This isn't great, but I don't know.
I think Paul Cotter has the best chance of getting points of the people
left, maybe even more than Stevenson. To be honest, Jesse, you
you hurt both of us. I don't know why you had to do this,
But okay, over to Victor, I totally feel you. I was
thinking of the same thing. Who the heck am I gonna pick? I
really wanted Chandler Stephenson, even though Jesse sees him only as a fourth liner.
But yeah, and I'm actually realizing what you're doing, Lewis is super
smart because you have half your D taken care of. I have one,
and I'm definitely not taking a D on this team. Yeah. To me,
it's between a couple of the bottom guys. I'm just I'm gonna go
with Nick Wah. I think he's been a little bit more consistent, even
though he's basically getting fourth line deployment, but maybe he'll get one of those
good forwards to play with, so nik wah for me? All right,
Yeah, And I feel like I'm also picking from a bunch of kind of
unappealing equals. I'm gonna go ahead and grab Michael Amadio. Only a point
less than Chandler Stevenson on the season, shooting more five minutes less a game
is not great, but hopefully he'll be able to give me a few points
there from that fourth slot here, all right, And I think that brings
it back around to me, right, I did the naughty thing last time,
and I don't think I said the players who were already rostered on this
team. But nonetheless it starts to get boy, it starts to get a
little bit weird here. But strategically, I think I'm going to try to
correct my greatest mistake from last year, and that is I should have taken
Seattle's Mattie Beniers just for posterity's sake. Vin Ston Oliver Byorkstrand, Jared McCann,
and Ellie Tolbinen are unavailable, but Matty Beniers is I'm taking him,
even though he's had a struggling first half, and I'm hoping for a strong
second half. Okay, yeah, this is another team where there's like a
lot of similar people to me, and maybe it's a good opportunity to take
a defenseman, but I'm just gonna not do it and see how this works
out. So yeah, if you look at the line combos for Seattle reasoning,
it's been Benear's with Everly and Tatar. I guess now I'm like doing
some table talk here, but just reminding myself of who's been with who,
Like, they have a couple good players wh unfortunately have been injured. Right,
Jayden Schwartz is out right now, Otherwise he would have been good.
I am saying that Berukovsky just played his first game back yesterday versus Philly.
I don't even think I clocked that, but he was on the top powerplay,
so yeah, hopefully he'll actually stay healthy this time. I'm not picking
guy who was about to get injured again, but give me Berkowski. I
think it's pretty good for a second pick over to Victor h. Yeah.
This is both easy and hard because they have so many options, but they're
all even, which is frustrating. I want to pick somebody who's been really
good, but he's getting healthy scratched, so I don't think that makes a
whole lot of sense. And I do you took Berukovsky and Veneers, right?
Oh man, this is so hard, But I think that I'm gonna
just take another forward. I'm tempted to take a D but I'm gonna take
Jordan Eberley. He's right in there with Viniers in terms of point pace,
even though he fewer total. So, yeah, Jordan Everley World Junior.
You're in the World Junior Championship time, and he's a Canadian hero, so
maybe maybe he'll remember that and do the rest of the season. Yeah,
there you go. Yeah, I don't love this. Yeah. I was
hoping that maybe a very boring pick like every might might find its way through
the cracks here. Sorry, let me see my list here. I don't
like pick and last. I am gonna go with Well, you've got I
can table talk a little bit more since I'm the last pick here. You've
got to tire who's been on that first line, but a guy who's maybe
been a little more productive and interesting, although he's famously one of the most
boring centers of all time. I'm gonna grab Alex Wenberg. He's got fifteen
points in the air, which is not too shabby compared to what else is
available to me, and I maybe believe in him holding on to his spot
a little more than I believe into Tire keeping his Yeah, I just wanted
to mention who I was thinking as Riker Evans, who's a really highly twited
prospect. He's got almost half a point per game when he's been playing,
but he's been getting scratched unfortunately. And for Justin Schultz, who's done decently
here and there. So if Evans plays, though, I think if he
gets consistently in the lineup, I think he could be a good rest the
season stream. Well, Borgan is also someone who's right there. But none
of us took d from Seattle. It's pretty much the Vince Dune Show,
right, unless you want peripheral then they have some decent guys. All Right,
we're on to the tenth round. Now I get to go first again.
I only have eight forwards and one defenseman, so I'm really lagging behind
on D here, but I can't help it. I got this is a
really good I got Mitchelli Raquel, and I think I've got another Banger for
my top pick here, I'm going to Nashville. The obvious guys that aren't
available, Philip Forsburg, Ryan O'Reilly, Roman Jozi. After that, everyone's
up for grabs, including our big star from last night two goals and an
assists versus Detroit. He's on the top line, he's on the top power
play pacing now for fifty nine points on the year, and just go and
hire Gustav Nikvist. I think, also, I'm doing a decent job here
of screwing over the other people that have to now take players from Nashville.
So I'm excited to get him here. Hopefully he'll help make up for all
the crappy picks I can have later on and I gonna have to fill in
my d. Oh God, you're telling me. I feel the same way
because every team I keep looking saying okay, I should take a D and
then I look at the options and I'm like, no, thank you.
And Nashville is no different, although they did have a couple of relevant d
but not so much lately. So yeah, this is tough. And Nike
Quist, Yeah, he's someone who definitely has been has been showing out pretty
nicely. But man, this is so hard. But I believe in this
guy, especially breaking out last year, and I just think he's hopefully going
to get his mojo back. And that's Tommy Novac. He was really good
last year and he just got a couple of points recently, although overall this
season has been massively disappointing. That is, hopefully he can turn that around.
He shot way too high last year and we knew he was gonna come
down a bit, but this is a pretty big regression. Although he's still
at a fifty two point pace, so if you could do roughly that rest
of season, that wouldn't be terrible. So Tommy Novack, all right,
another they're not so great spot to find myself, I think, So I
guess I could have asked this question sooner. If our player gets traded,
do we still get credit for his points? Yeah? Moving forward, it's
the team there on. Now, Okay, all right, there is a
guy that I'm interested in, but the minutes are just so low it scares
me off. And this person is not even playing today. But I'm gonna
go ahead and grab Tyson Barry here. Not anything Fancy didn't do the trick
in some of the spots where he's been before, but likely trade bait.
Maybe he finds himself in a slightly improved position if the team that trades for
him wants to show that they made a good choice. I'll grab Tyson Barry
here, and I think, let's see, I'm getting close on my defenseman.
I got to maybe slow my roll a little bit, but I'm gonna
be able to pick a lot of forwards moving forward. Look at this guy.
Yeah, the minute Victor said hope he gets his mojo back, you
knew it was no back. The minute that Lewis asked about a trade,
you knew it was Barry. I don't this is a team I don't mind
going forth because all the options think anyway, and I'm going to take Ryan
McDonough and rack up one more of my defenseman to save me pain later on
in the draft. So Ryan McDonough, I would look at Angelista getting left
behind. Yeah, I was gonna say, I would have thought one of
these prospect guys here was going to go Evangelista or maybe like a Thomasino.
But I guess you guys have really changed your minds on these players. I
remember listening to Nashville Podcast on the fans hockey life. When you guys are
high on these people, We are high on them, but they yeah,
they're not getting the time on ice, they're not getting in the deployment.
So long term, in the next two three years, I would definitely take
them, but it's just not happening right now. They're not getting the time.
What are you gonna do? All right? Your pick, Victor.
By the way, Victor, let's celebrate for a second. He and I
are in a dynasty league together. We talked about it before, and go's
up. Nikevist one of our big free agent ads from early in the year.
And it's a dynasty. You shouldn't be able to get guys like that,
but woo Jesse, you missed out. You should grab Nickie Gustap.
Niquist is not welcome on my team, and I guess in a draft like
this, it's not the worst thing because he is the ultimate empty points guy,
right. He's a guy who maybe gets a couple of points and just
doesn't get much of peripherles and if he falls off the line, then it's
over. So he's not welcome on my team, but happy for you that
he's doing well. Alon has been Alon I joined the squad this season,
and he's been super helpful with these streaming guys. I don't know how many
guys you've added on that we've basically kept for weeks, if not the whole
season. It's been pretty nice. So you should definitely celebrate those accomplishments because
everyone knows that I'm more of like a looking long term kind of thing,
and sometimes I have blind spots of these guys that are doing really well.
I think looking at our team, Paul came and went Chinnikov, that was
a really good one night Quist of course, Jake McCabe and Marcus Patterson,
who's been killing it. All these guys that are new to the team.
Sometimes I look at the team and I'm like, oh, that's right.
Elon added this guy Sharon Govic a while back. Nick Bug's dad, who
didn't get taken in this draft. He's had a decent season. I was
close to dropping. I actually put in a drop for someone who was it
that I wanted to get O'Connor geeky or Morgan geeky dropping, But then someone
up bid us. Because we have no fab left anyway, no one cares.
But okay, let's get back to this draft. Well, this time,
half the people on the show care. Elon that helped three quarters.
Three quarters of the people you care in a different way, though I vaguely
care. Yeah, I'm taking I'm taking hard in that thing, all right,
Victor, Let's start eleventh round. Yeah, yeah, I think I'm
gonna Lewis. You have so many defensemen it's scaring me. I think I
need to go d and so I didn't necessarily want to do this, but
I'm gonna go to Anaheim and a guy is back who is exciting. He's
struggled for the last couple of years. And no, I'm not gonna talk.
I'm not gonna take the guy who has been just awesome this season.
But I'm gonna take Jamie Drysdale, who is back. He's been injured off
and on for a long time, but he's played six games. He's getting
the power play time, and he's got three points and I think deserves a
little bit more. He's getting huge minutes. He's not someone who he's difficult
to roster in preferral leagues because he has he doesn't usually do too much,
although this year he's hitting and block in a little bit more and shooting.
So maybe this is the new Jamie Drysdale and this could be a good rest
of season stream and maybe Anaheim won't be totally terrible rest of the season.
All Right, I say, I am gonna go ahead, and it's a
tough call here. There's a lot of guys who I think are similar here,
and I am gonna grab all right, I'm gonna go against my instincts
here. I'm gonna go ahead and grab Alex Killer. And with my pick,
I've got the freedom to do a little bit more forward selecting here,
so I'll grab Alex Killer. And there's other guys that I like very nearly
as much, which makes me sad because I know that our later picks are
going to get some good ones here. But yeah, that's the way I'm
going to go, especially with the injury status of some of the other folks
on this list. I am dancing a jig over here because this was one
of my priority teams and I wanted Pablo Minchikoff the whole time, so I'm
pretty excited about that. By the way, Zegras, Terry mccavish the Toronto
all off limits here, but Pablo Minchikoff has just shown what he can do
this year, and he is going to be my pick. And there he
goes yet another defenseman for me. And you know what, let's keep the
party going with the defense. So we'll take three defensemen off of Anaheim.
Here, I gotta grab one. There are some somewhat appealing guys. Adam
Henrique has been getting some points lately. Ryan Strom once in a while gets
the point. Leo Carlson would be good, but he's got that injury.
Just give me camp Fowler, good, old boy, he's going to get
me a thirty five ish point pace rest of the way. So I'll take
it. And yeah, Lewis you get a couple first coming up? Now?
Yeah, I'm psyched. Leo Carlson I think would have been a great
pick. But obviously two games a week just proving to be too much for
the guy. So kind of up in his bubble wrap there. Yeah.
And also he's out for a fortunateight. No, that's what I mean is
they played him one too many games. Anyone got injured. Just do you
think that now it's going to be when he comes back from his injury.
They're like, no, we had a certain amount of time before he has
a full schedule. Now that's going to be delayed, and actually when he
comes back, he'll still be on two games a week. I just don't
understand why this is happening for one player, and it never happens. It's
just it's a very odd situation. I find it strange, and I'm not
going to think too hard. I'm very excited because I have two teams that
I really like the available one available guy and not so much the others.
And I'm psyched to make you guys sweat a little bit here. We're gonna
start in New Jersey. Off the board for New Jersey, a bunch of
guys as you would expect, Nico Heuschier, Tima Meyer, Tyler Tafoli,
Yes for Brat, Jack Hughes all one hundred percent owned, Luke Hughes,
and Dougie Hamilton in there at ninety six. I'm gonna grab the next guy
off the list, someone who has had a bunch of hype about him,
who's getting big minutes, who looks primed for a big second half. And
I'm gonna go ahead and take Dawson Mercer off the board here in New Jersey,
one of my priority teams here, so I was glad that they fell
to me. Ouch. Yeah, that would be a good one to have
the first pick for. I would say that team with Dawson Mercer off that
their board. Jeez, it gets more boring from here. I you know
what, forget it. I'm gonna take another defenseman. I'm gonna take Simotinemuch
and I'm going to hope that we get a decent second half out of him,
decent enough to justify making him yet another defenseman pick for me. Okay,
yeah, I like Mercer too. There's a lot of forwards that are,
like I think could be decent. The question is just, yeah,
do I like waste a chance to grab some boring defense? But now I'm
going to go with a forward here. So you've got Mercer and Meyer on
a line with a guy who keeps on getting points, and I keep on
looking at him, Victor, I guess I'll spoil our spot here. I
keep on looking at it as a potential ad for us. I just can't
think of anyone to drop, and so I kept passing on him. But
I guess this, Michael McLeod, he's like doing. He's sent me a
good year. He's like fourteen points and thirty four games. That's such a
boring pick. Though, maybe if I'm going with someone that crap, maybe
I should just take a defense man. Okay, everyone sinks, Yeah,
you're right. It's like at some point we thought that Palatte was a good
player. That time has long passed. I guess you're right. You know
what. Also, I take back when I was a joshing Victor later on,
because I totally have not prepped as well as I was making fun of
you for Okay, give me, yeah, my former first round pick and
a prospects draft of a dynasty league that I've regretted forever, and I'll have
him again here, John Marino. Why not just take a D spot and
I've got three now, Okay, Victor over to you. Yeah, I
know getting salty with me about taking time, But yeah, I think we
prepped mostly and who we wanted first, and then these second third discussions are
a little bit more difficult. I was hoping, Jesse that you would let
Simon Nemich fall because yeah, he's come in and looked okay, although that
was more recently thirteen games in now, and he's certainly has the five points,
but I think he could be decent rest of season. And Lewis,
I wrote about Dawson Mercer at EP ringside. I love this guy. He's
so much fun, but I also think he might be too good for his
own two verse tata for his own good because they just move him up and
down the lineup, which it's extremely frustrating. But you guys actually left on
the board the guy who has the most points per game, although he's not
always in the best spot, and I think a lot of these points came
when he was out when other people were out with injury. But Eric Halla
seems to always get decent deployment. He's on there on that second line.
He's playing with decent players. Even though it's maybe not the most exciting,
he's usually getting some heastier time. So yeah, we'll just go aeric cola
boring, but should be decently productive or half point per game rest of the
season. All at your guy? All right, we got a couple more
picks to make in this first half of the show, But first let's take
a short break. What is this across over episode back? And I believe
Lewis, you are on the clock. All right, We're gonna head to
another team where I really like the top option and don't love the other option
so much. But I do think there is some interesting meat that's gonna be
left on this bone for you all too to chew over. But we're gonna
go over to Minnesota. Brock Faber, Matt Boldi, Matt Zukerrello, Career,
caprisov, Joel Erikson, Eck All unavailable for selection. But that does
leave the guy that I feel like I've been waiting for forever, and you
guys, I'm sure feeling this even more than I do. But Marco Rossi
finally making some things happen, getting some nice deployment, getting a real opportunity
to make Minnesota not quite look like that team with a whole lot of nothing
down the middle on my show, I have called them the Spirit Airlines team
because they have some wings and not a whole lot else going on. Yeah,
I'm gonna grab Marco Rossi here off the top of the peep in Minnesota.
Oh my gosh, I love that. I love that one that's in
dog On is pretty good too. That's the real problem here. There's lots
of things I could do here, but I guess I'll go with Ryan Hartman.
I'll hope that he gets himself worked back into a better situation line wise,
but he's not the best, but he does sometimes fall into that and
we'll take that. Just one of the darlings of the early season, Ryan
Hartman there, so we've seen he's capable of blowing up a little bit and
he's been a lot better the last the last little bit here, Yeah,
I like that, pick a lot he can. We'll fall into it every
once in a while. Yeah. Yeah, it's like Rossy sometimes is taking
Hartman's spot, right, So going to be the battle of both of your
picks here, who's going to get to play with Caprizo for the most of
the time in the second half. I'm pretty happy with my third pick here,
Gotta grab a D. He's been injured for a while, but apparently
he'sna be back soon. I'll just take Spurgeon another like Cam Fowler like.
I don't think it's again zero. It's not as bad as John Marino my
lasted So look, I got four D now, Lewis. I'm catching up
to you just and we'll be halfway through and it will be the same and
everything will be great. So I'll take Spurgeon and Victor. Yeah, you
have a couple of fun options to choose from. Yeah, I was hoping
Spurgeon would fall to me because, yeah, he's been out, but he
will be back, and as the captain, I'm sure he's gonna get some
decent deployment. Even though I'm a huge rock favor Stan, he's incredible and
I think he should probably win the Calder with what he's doing, even though
it's not over the points. Absolutely, look at what he's doing top pairing
minutes against the best players in the league, and he's shutting him down every
single night. That is incredible. I don't care about the points. It's
it shouldn't be about the points. Look what he's doing compared to that's a
harder position what he's doing, and he's literally the best players, the best
fours in the world can't score when he's out there. I don't disagree.
I do feel it's a bit of a contrary and take. I think he's
great. I don't have anything bad to say with rock Favor, but how
can you Connor Bdard is playing with nobody at all, and he is on
a seventy five point pace and rising like he's an eighteen year old carrying a
team. Come on, you gotta get it. If you actually had a
vote and you voted for a favor over Badard, I'd be like, big
eye rolls, like you're just being like a hipster. I want to say
something for clicks. I don't know if that I don't mean, that doesn't
mean. But that came up a lot more mean than I meant it too.
I don't know. I just feel like it's got to be Badark.
I think it depends too. If Minnesota makes the playoffs, to me,
I think that sinks it. But if you're talking about two non playoff teams,
then I think it it matters less. But if Faber wills his team
into the playoffs with his play, that that makes a huge difference because scoring
when you don't have to worry about defense and winning. Yes, it's impressive
what Badar is doing, But to bring a team like Minnesota that is out
of the playoffs all the way in, I think that that that is more
valuable to the team and overall. I'm not trying to say just as contray
and I think Badard is amazing and I think what he's doing is incredible.
But I think if you look at the finer points of the game, what
Faber is doing is just, if not more incredible. Oh my. Anyways,
And if there's one thing we know about the folks who vote on the
Calder, it's that they're always looking at the finer points of the game.
If but if a power play quarterback just succeeds in the woods and nobody's listening,
does he make a sound? That's really the question here, folks.
Connor Bandart is going to be on national TV twice a week. All right,
yeah, Victor, come on, we got distracted by my comments.
And yes, we can all agree that we love Marco ROSSI. I love
that pick Lewis. I'm happy to see him finally thriving. But I will
finally pick and torn between a nath forward and a couple of D options,
I think I'm just going to fill out one of my D and just go
Jake Middleton because plays a lot and might get some points veteran priffs, but
we'll take him here. Do you wish the Sharks held on to Jake Middleton?
No, they should have gotten whatever they could have gotten for him.
That was smart, all right, So you get a first now victor,
since we wasted so much breath talking about this team already, I think we're
going to go to Chicago because yes, Connor Bandart is amazing. Not trying
to take anything away from him, and he's so amazing that he is literally
willing they basically a bunch of nobody's into relevance. We thought, being the
season, it was going to be Taylor Hall or Perry that may play with
him, but he's turning Philip Kershev into a bit of a thing. And
he is I know, Elon, we've talked about him adding him in our
dynasty and I, frankly was just never a believer and I still don't know
that I am. But Badard is so good that he's turning anyone into relevant
and he's been doing great. I mean he's already, He's Kershev already has
has twelve no six goals, fifteen assists in twenty eight games for a sixty
two point pace, which is more than double what he's ever had before.
Yeah, that's the Connor Berdard effect as an eighteen year old. So I'll
go with him. Yeah, we were going to add him, and I
think we did. And then you were. You convinced me that we could
just drop him, and now he's not going to be available to us anymore.
I guess the thing is Victory. You're such like a prospect expert,
you know much with the players themselves. I feel like you're like, I
know Kershev, he's not good, trust me. But it's yeah, I
guess playing with Bidard, who's not even a Calder winner, but he's good
enough to make a Kroushev into a sixty point player. But okay, so
lewis over to you on Chicago. All right, there's the other guy who's
on the line with Badard. But I'm actually gonna go a little deeper here.
I don't know if this is a great decision, but I'm just gonna
go off the coffe here. I'm gonna grab Jason Dickinson, who has been
doing some interesting things from further down the lineup. I always am seeing him
pop up on the score alerts. Chicago's a bit of a blind spot for
me this season. Outside of the top I haven't been paying a whole bunch
of attention to them in fantasy. But that's the name that stood out to
me. Go ahead and grab him. There. Why not a couple of
Middland type options here? Not so great. Let's take the crusty old veteran
here. He's on one of my dynasty teams and doing precious little, except
every once in a while he shows up out of nowhere in scores two goals.
That's Something's happened twice the second half of this month, and that would
be Nick Follino. Why not Nick Foleino get up there and play with the
young man Connor Badard, who I thought for just a second and I thought
Victor was going to try to draft the dark. Just sneak that one by
us. For what it's worth. Seleno's been interesting. You say he comes
out and scores a couple of goals here. He has scored points in ten
total games, and then five of them it's been multipoint efforts. So he's
got a lot of nothing and then a lot of these multipoint games in there.
It all evens out in the best ball like this. It all works.
Okay, So I'm pretty happy with this pick. I'm surprised in my
draft with these prospect experts. I'll take this current top power play quarterback with
Seth Jones injured, he hasn't done too much yet, but he's have a
powerplay assistant in the last game, so maybe it's the start of a big
second half for Kevin Korchinski. So give me the Chintz that I don't know.
I don't know what his nickname is, but I'm okay with Korchinski here,
and that brings me now to a first pick. I'll like the ones
I really liked are gone now, so I think I'm gonna go with a
guy who I think I already named dropped on this podcast just recently. So
give me Morgan Geeky over on Boston. He's on a nice run right now.
Obviously this is like super dependent on if he's going to hold his spot,
but right now geek is playing on a line with David Pasternak, which
I like, and he's also on the top power play with Pastor Knak and
Marshan and Zaka, So like on Boston. By the way, we should
mention I don't think did we mentioned Chicago for Chicago by the way, if
you're surprised, yeah we were. It was only Seth Jones and Badard that
weren't available on Boston. McAvoy Marshawn, Pastor, Nachs, and Zaka are
all unavailable, and everyone else is. I'm leaving some interesting names out there,
but I'm just I want to plant my flag. I missed out on
Geeky and our Dynasty Victor. He's also been taking in a couple division so
I have a hunch about Morgan Geek so I need to get him somewhere so
I could brag about it if he turns out to be good. So over
to you. Yeah, I know we had that discussion and I yeah,
I'm not a believer, but he has been doing well and they're really in
need of center help down the middle there. Yeah, this is difficult because
there's a guy actually messaged about in our chat that I wanted. But it's
also difficult to pass up on the guy who's doing it now and getting good
deployment. And I would love to take a defenseman, but they don't.
I don't think they have anyone too interesting. Oh man, I think I'm
just gonna go Charlie Coyle. He's boring, but he's getting top line deployment.
He's getting sometimes powerplay deployment, but at least even strength and getting exposure
to some decent players. Yeah, we'll just go with Coyle. Yeah,
I was in about six to one half dozen the other I figured, whoever
you picked, I'll grab the other guy. I'll go ahead and grab Jake
Debresk and hope that he can regain some of his form from last season.
He was one of my heroes of the year last year. But yeah,
I think I'm gonna go ahead and grab JDB. From JDB to JVR,
I'll close it out with a guy who's still rostered and still sneaks up on
that power play and still does something from time to time. But it's not
the worst last pick in the world. The guy that I thought might be
interesting that I didn't see on the sheet Elon is Matthew Puatra, and he's
over at the World Juniors right now for Canada, basically their top line center.
And he's the guy who made the team out of camp and has been
playing in the top six and doing pretty darn well, frankly, and I
think that there's a good chance just no one picked him in this pool,
but I think there's a good chance he comes back from the World Juniors energized
regardless of how Canada does, and has a really strong rest of season,
because that's going to build his confidence. He's gonna dominate. He's already dominating
there. You might want to put him on your watch list, and if
you can add him right now when he's away, that would be a smart
move because I think he'll come back and do really well. Yeah, he
wasn't on the percent rostered list that I shared because he's not rostered in any
divisions. Didn't fall off there, but he would. He was eligible to
be taken for sure, Jesse. So you're going to close out now this
episode and we're going to do the second half. I'm keeping Carlson closing out
the first half. I'm going to take the guy who has fallen into the
I believe the top powerplay spot, even though you know what, No,
I'm changing my mind. I'm changing my mind. It's a swerve, it's
an audible. I'm going to go to the Vancouver Canucks. And on the
Vancouver Canucks, there are more than one good choice. And if I knew
I was going to get the second choice, that would be fine, but
I could end up with the fourth choice, and I don't like the fourth
choice. So I'm going to go ahead and take on the first line in
first power play currently Andre Kuzmenko. Yeah, currently is the word there,
because there have been times where he's been like scratched up to the fourth line.
But yeah, because Manko probably has the highest upside. But yeah,
so you're forgiven. Your Chandler Stevenson pick was rough, but this Vancouver pick
is pretty nice because I agree with you. I think that there's going to
be like one more somewhat reasonable guy to take. So I'll just mention quickly.
The guys who are not available on the Canucks are who we have here,
so heronic in no particular order, Quinn, Hughes, Brock Besser,
Lias Patterson, JT. Miller. Then everyone else is up for grabs.
And yeah, like this guy to code to Joshua's been doing stuff. I
wonder if he'll get taken. But give me the guy playing with Peterson and
Kuzmenko and Yulia Makayev. He seems like the best bet to get straight up
points and now and then, so yeah, I'll stick with Makayev here,
and then Victor, you get to go on Vancouver your last pick of the
first half. Yeah, I don't mind this too much. I do think
those are the two best picks and good forward options. I'm I would be
a little hesitant to take Kuzmenko first, although I probably would have done it
because we know he can do really well when he gets the opportunity, so
I like that. But I definitely need d And even though he doesn't score
a lot, Tyler Myers plays a lot and can look into some secondaries,
so he's he's scoring roughly as much as some of the other forwards anyway.
So I'll take Tyler Myers and knock out another one of my d all Right,
that leaves me with a few kind of unappealing options. You've got Connor
Garland who's getting some power play time. But I'm gonna go ahead and pick
up that torch that Elon put down. I'm gonna grab Dakota Joshua just see
if he can keep things going from where he's at. I think we pretty
much know what We pretty much know what Connor Garland is at this point,
so let's see if there's some untapped upside in a Dakota Joshua fourth pick here.
I think the guy that's being left off that might have been someone will
regret at some point could be Nil's Hallglander like he's playing with Besser and Miller
recently not doing too much. He had a couple of good games a couple
of weeks ago. He was looking like something and then fell off again.
So we'll see. But yeah, I think that that clears out the Canucks
and I guess, yeah, let me what am I doing? Yeah,
I'm gonna be the hosting seck. You guys are gonna ca that that does
clear up the first half. And on this feed, we'll be right back
in a minute to close it out. And when you do, next to
you our voices, you better be hearing them over on the wonderful Keeping Carlson
feed. So we'll be back right after that. A couple of things to
mention before we get out of here today. One of them is Fantasy Hockey
Life is brought to you by fan Tracks. You can move your leaks over
there ask them to help you. The league we're drafting today is going to
be played out on fan tracks. Why because I can input the results right
now. I can set it to just count all the points. Because you
can set pretty much any kind of settings you want, and they have the
most options of about anything you can think of if you haven't played it in
a while. Some people I know are just like I can't handle fan tracks
because they had a bad experience years ago. Let me tell you what the
app right now. Pretty well, they had a big UI redesign a couple
of years ago. There are cool chat features you're not going to find on
other platforms. You really ought to give it a shot. Fantracks HQ with
lots of fantasy content articles on fantasy hockey and other sports. Fantasy Hockey Life
has a posse. We don't have a Hulk, but we have Kevin Adams,
our content curator who does a lot of show prep. Ryan Downey,
who commissions the Tidy Leagues, the Tidy Admiral. You've heard him on this
show. Brandon our website guru. There's always new stuff coming out on the
Fantasy Hockey Life website. Jeremy va is our lead scout. We subscribe to
a scouting video service. We have all kinds of people scouting prospects all the
time, and reports are one of the things you can get here. Jason
helps with prospect ranks. Victor does prospect ranks. He even puts some things
in there about bash about some physical categories if you want to subscribe. That's
part of the Patreon and kind of an advanced part of it, but it's
a feature some people enjoy. Paul is trying to help us get our whole
act together with some workflow and processes, because there's a lot going on.
If you have skills you'd like to lend the show, hit Victor up in
the discord, email or Twitter. By the way, if I didn't mention
it at the beginning of the show, we do have a free discord.
All you have to do is contact Victor or myself or both of us.

We're brought to you by Dabber Hockey and Dabber Prospects. Like Keeping Carlson,
We're part of the Dabber podcast network. Victor is also an editor over
at Dabber Prospects. You can follow his work as well as Victor's second podcast,
Dabber Prospects Report, that he does with Peter Harling. I do a
solo show called Dynasty Sports Life. I talk for different Dynasty Sports on that
show. Sometimes crossover episodes occur. Recently, I had an episode that kind
of recaps twenty twenty three with my good friend Craig Bosic, and we do
touch on a couple of hockey topics. Craig's not a big hockey guy,
but some things on the show are universal. Again, follow us on X
give us a shout out there. We appreciate everybody who is following the show.
You can rate and review us. Hey, if you haven't subscribed yet,

keep Victor and myself going. Thank you for listening. Once again, go
tune in now to the Keeping Carlson feed for the second half of this draft,
and until next time, keep living that fantasy hockey life.
