Welcome to Fantasy Hockey Life, presented
by fan Tracks. Here shit Qus,

2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,160
your source of information and analysis to
help you win your fantasy hockey league.

3
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:21,679
Block off hot a step hit on, Stay Lock. Here's your host,

4
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:27,039
Jesse Sovi here and Victor Nounyo.
Fantasy Hockey Live back once again. I

5
00:00:27,079 --> 00:00:33,039
am Jesse Severe fan Tracks joining me
across the glass Victor Nunno of EP Ringside.

6
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:37,000
Victor, how you doing? I
am doing awesome, Jesse. We're

7
00:00:37,039 --> 00:00:42,359
sitting here on October fifteenth, and
I was lucky enough yesterday to be hanging

8
00:00:42,359 --> 00:00:44,679
out with the family and I got
a text from a friend of mine and

9
00:00:44,719 --> 00:00:47,960
he said, Hey, I have
fourth throw seats to the Sharks game tonight.

10
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:52,439
Do you want to go? And
I'm like, uh sure, So

11
00:00:52,719 --> 00:00:55,840
I got to do that last night. That was pretty fun. It was

12
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,359
a really good game too. I
was excited. I thought the Avalanche would

13
00:00:59,479 --> 00:01:02,640
would truck the Sharks and it didn't
quite work out that way, though they

14
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:07,040
still did win. But yeah,
it was really fun to see some up

15
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:11,159
close and personal action and it's great. And we also are celebrating a bit

16
00:01:11,159 --> 00:01:14,319
of a milestone here, aren't we. Hey look at us man. We

17
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,840
are three hundred episodes into the show, so that's pretty cool. It's unbelievable

18
00:01:19,879 --> 00:01:23,359
at this point. But yeah,
man, it's long Jet. They haven't

19
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,159
figured out how to cancel us yet. They're working on it, but they

20
00:01:26,159 --> 00:01:30,680
haven't figured it out yet. Yeah, it's a long that's a lot of

21
00:01:30,719 --> 00:01:33,439
episodes. And I think the biggest
thing that comes to mind for me is

22
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,680
I just appreciate everyone listening and we
can still do this. I know sometimes

23
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:42,480
you've mentioned I feel like we're speaking
into the void, and it appears to

24
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:45,760
not be the case. I think
some people are listening and so that's helpful.

25
00:01:45,799 --> 00:01:49,920
So really grateful for that, and
also just thinking back about the all

26
00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:52,719
the For me, I just think
about all the guys I've been wrong about,

27
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:56,079
because that's usually where my brain goes
first. But I definitely want to

28
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,879
shout out one that you were right
about, and that's you were always a

29
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:05,200
truther for rossmus Dolling and now he
is. He's basically a star, like

30
00:02:05,319 --> 00:02:07,439
a lot of people thought, and
there were times in there where there was

31
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,560
a lot of skepticism and that was
one guy that you were always like,

32
00:02:09,759 --> 00:02:14,000
I still think he's going to be
great, And there were definitely some guys

33
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,120
like that that we were right about, right, Yeah, for sure,

34
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,599
for sure, you keep a show
going for I'm just looking at this four

35
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,360
years and four months. This show
has been on the air now, So

36
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:27,639
you do that long enough, you're
bound to have some good takes and some

37
00:02:27,719 --> 00:02:30,759
bad takes. That's pretty much how
it goes. But yeah, Dollan Hill,

38
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:34,080
I think I've even had we even
had a segment to that effect.

39
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:39,319
And finally, finally that flag is
not completely burned up. But I think

40
00:02:39,439 --> 00:02:44,280
you died on Dollan Hill a few
times and then you got revived and came

41
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,599
out. Yeah. Well, yeah, there's a commemorative statue to me up

42
00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:51,919
there, but it's right next to
the Rasmus statue. But yeah, man,

43
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,800
we've had good takes over the years. You're Jason Robertson take has aged

44
00:02:54,840 --> 00:03:00,000
extremely well over the years, the
lesser Robertson and of others, and of

45
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:06,919
course the Cal Peterson take never did
survive. That has not worked out.

46
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:10,159
We did have a good time at
least, but yeah, Victor, three

47
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:15,000
hundred episodes in and the regular season
is back, and regular season is actually

48
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:21,879
it's practically the off season for us
in doing the show as a Dynasty show.

49
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,800
I was listening a friend of mine
does a Dynasty football podcast, and

50
00:03:24,879 --> 00:03:30,719
he actually they don't even do the
show during the regular season, which kind

51
00:03:30,719 --> 00:03:31,840
of blew my mind. I was
like, then, it occurred to me

52
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:36,000
while he's doing all these other shows. But we don't believe in that.

53
00:03:36,039 --> 00:03:38,360
We believe in doing shows year round. But when we're not on this hectic

54
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:45,120
pace of doing multiple per week for
the team previews, it can settle down

55
00:03:45,159 --> 00:03:49,400
a little bit. So we're you
know, we're gonna do a more relaxed,

56
00:03:49,439 --> 00:03:53,000
a more intimate episode today. We
do have a guest, a great

57
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:58,879
guest who's been doing great yeoman's work
for the site for the tidy Leaks,

58
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,000
Ryan Downey today, and then you
and I are going to do our annual

59
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:09,439
traditional discussion of our shares for the
year. We'll set up that segment as

60
00:04:09,479 --> 00:04:13,240
well when we get there. But
I don't know, Victor, do you

61
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,600
have any words of wisdom from this
show surviving to this point? The Internet

62
00:04:16,639 --> 00:04:20,160
really can't cancel anything. If you're
determined enough, you can just keep hopping

63
00:04:20,199 --> 00:04:25,199
around. They can never catch you. Yeah, I'd like to think that

64
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:30,600
we've grown a little wiser in our
takes and seeing patterns. Sometimes you feel

65
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,360
like you see the matrix and you
can see what's going to happen, and

66
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:34,839
a lot of times you just feel
like you have no idea and you just

67
00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:38,839
throw your hands up. But I
think we've gotten a little bit better at

68
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,920
reading the tea leaves and hopefully that's
translated. Sometimes I think it's just about

69
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,680
being honest, being accountable, and
saying this is what I think, and

70
00:04:46,759 --> 00:04:49,399
sometimes it works out, sometimes it
doesn't, but we're always going to give

71
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:53,639
you our honest opinion and we're always
going to hold ourselves accountable. I think

72
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,600
one thing we really try to do
is not just say things that are shocking

73
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,000
just for clicks or listens or anything
like that. We try to be very

74
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,839
reasonable and sometimes we're passionate and feel
strongly about something and sometimes not, and

75
00:05:04,879 --> 00:05:09,000
we try to make that clear too, because there's different levels of confidence.

76
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,399
But I think that you do this
long enough, you have to. You

77
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,920
have to be accountable, right.
You can't just you can't just say wildish

78
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:20,560
crazy things and survive this long really
unless people just totally expect that from you.

79
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:24,879
But yeah, I just appreciate everyone
keep listening, and we're always open

80
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,600
to feedback and always trying to make
the show better. I got the website

81
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,759
now, and we've got you know, all kinds of good things, I

82
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:33,120
think, and more to come.
I think that we still have ambitions for

83
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:39,360
more cool things, player cards,
for prospects. There's some cool things in

84
00:05:39,399 --> 00:05:42,399
the work, So keep listening and
give us your feedback if there's things you

85
00:05:42,439 --> 00:05:46,920
want to see or here. The
great innovation of the history of the cast,

86
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:50,439
I think is the tiered Dynasty Leagues, and frankly both sets of dynasty

87
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:56,079
leagues we've created. So let's come
back and talk about early returns from the

88
00:05:56,120 --> 00:06:08,000
Tiered Dynasty aka the Tidy thing.
Time for a news segment on the show.

89
00:06:08,199 --> 00:06:12,720
We are going to be promoting and
highlighting our awesome league, the Tier

90
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,720
Dynasy, the Tidy, And to
do that, we've brought in our Tidy

91
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:23,360
Admiral. We have Ryan Downey who's
been helping out with the leagues and helping

92
00:06:23,399 --> 00:06:29,240
out with the setup and also digging
into some of the interesting storylines and trades

93
00:06:29,319 --> 00:06:31,000
and things that have happened. And
so we're going to hopefully discuss all those

94
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,199
things and make it relevant to everybody
and not just those of you that are

95
00:06:34,199 --> 00:06:38,600
in the league, because I think
there's some really interesting things to discuss here.

96
00:06:38,639 --> 00:06:41,480
But without further ado, Ryan,
how are you doing and welcome to

97
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:45,199
the show. Hey Victor, I'm
well, thanks so much for having me.

98
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,480
It's really actually before we even get
started here, I have to congratulate

99
00:06:48,519 --> 00:06:54,879
you and Jesse on three hundred Fantasy
Hockey Life episodes. It's truly an impressive

100
00:06:54,879 --> 00:06:59,519
feat when you consider how many hours
you must spend recording and getting all these

101
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,240
guests, and we really appreciate it
as the community, and I'm excited to

102
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:08,879
be taking on this new role as
we crest past this milestone. Yeah,

103
00:07:09,079 --> 00:07:11,519
up, up and beyond right,
that's the goal here, just make it

104
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,639
bigger and better. And we couldn't
do it without great people in the community

105
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,560
as yourself, So we really appreciate
that. And yes, I don't even

106
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,120
want to try to count the number
of hours that have gone into the hundred

107
00:07:20,199 --> 00:07:25,160
episodes, but it's all for love
and we love doing it. But yeah,

108
00:07:25,199 --> 00:07:27,839
we have a couple of really interesting
things to talk about. And the

109
00:07:27,839 --> 00:07:31,920
first thing surround around a few trades, but I think there's a more interesting

110
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,680
underlying storyline that is happening here and
what you actually discover this, if I'm

111
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:41,720
not mistaken, So tell us a
little bit about how you discovered this and

112
00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:46,920
what your thoughts are on this team
building process. Yeah, it's really interesting.

113
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,759
With the Tidy we have such a
variety of managers and management styles and

114
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,759
management teams. If I can draw
it for a second, you are talking

115
00:07:56,759 --> 00:08:01,519
to a Tidy champion here, co
champion with Edward. We won the or

116
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:05,240
League last year to get up to
Lord Stanley here. But there's so many

117
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,360
different ways that you can get to
the top tier by kind of the decisions

118
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,680
that you make, like who you
pick up, who you trade for.

119
00:08:11,759 --> 00:08:16,319
I know in our league last year
there were very few trades, and Edward

120
00:08:16,319 --> 00:08:18,319
and I took advantage of that and
we did a lot of trades to move

121
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:24,040
guys. I remember specifically we moved
Jarvis and Quinn for Keller and maybe some

122
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:28,879
other top twenty winger and that was
what pushed us over the edge. But

123
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:33,759
this particular strategy that we're going to
highlight here is one that I find very

124
00:08:33,799 --> 00:08:37,240
amusing, very fun, and I'm
excited to see how it plays out.

125
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,360
I first noticed it, and we're
talking about a team, the Melbourne Ducks

126
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,320
in the Or Division. Melbourne Ducks
is managed by a manager named Peter b.

127
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,200
In the discord, Peter has been
a real joy to chat with thus

128
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,759
far through the beginning of our off
season process here and I found this out

129
00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:00,600
confirmed by Peter that he is looking
to in his words, a chi or

130
00:09:00,639 --> 00:09:05,639
greatness with all the Croatian background NHL
ers and his team, and Peter is

131
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:09,200
a Croatian, he lives in Australia, a very interesting fellow and indeed,

132
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,120
when you look at the various moves
that he has made thus far in his

133
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:18,759
time in Or, it is really
interesting. It started at the draft and

134
00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:20,679
I actually had to step in here
as part of my duties as the tidy

135
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,799
Admiral. I'm there to help out
when you and Jesse are not available with

136
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,159
commissioner type things, player movement,
that kind of thing. And so I

137
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:35,080
had noticed actually that Peter had attempted
to draft an overager, Michael Vakoyevich,

138
00:09:35,159 --> 00:09:39,600
who's currently playing d for the Yutka
Comets in the Devil's prospect system. He

139
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:43,000
was not eligible to be picked because
we were only doing I think with these

140
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,360
continuation prospect drafts. We were only
doing the twenty twenty three draft eligibles.

141
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,879
Peter used his pick eventually on Thomas
Milich, who is some may remember it

142
00:09:50,919 --> 00:09:54,360
was a goalie for Team Canada in
the World Juniors a couple of years back,

143
00:09:54,399 --> 00:09:58,279
I want to say, two or
three years ago for the World Juniors

144
00:09:58,039 --> 00:10:01,600
and he is u Croatian descent,
and so this kind of hit me off.

145
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:07,279
Very interesting correlation between those two players. And then the trades started rolling

146
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,519
in, and this is where you
really see where Peter is going with his

147
00:10:11,759 --> 00:10:16,759
kind of team build. He wanted
to acquire some really good Croatian players to

148
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,360
fill out his roster, and so
we have a trade and you can see

149
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:24,240
actually for all of those in the
Fantasy Hockey Life discord. You can see

150
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:30,200
the trades that are happening across the
Tidy in our Tidy Trades channel, and

151
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:33,600
you can see polls where you can
vote on the result. And the first

152
00:10:33,639 --> 00:10:37,240
trade that is relevant here to discuss
with the Melbourne Ducks. The Melbourne Ducks

153
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:43,919
acquired Bo Horvat and defenseman Alex Vlassk
from Letty Zeppelin for rope hints. We

154
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:48,639
do have a center swap here with
a bit of a sweetener from Letty's Zeppelin

155
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,759
to allow Melbourne Ducks to acquire Bo
Horvat. Bo Horvat is a player of

156
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:58,639
Croatian descent. His parents are second
generation Croatian, which if my math is

157
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:03,080
correct, that means his randparents are
Croatian. Vlassic also is of Croatian descent.

158
00:11:03,159 --> 00:11:07,360
So this extra player that goes in
the deal to make the value gap

159
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:13,000
between Horbat and Hints a bit more
palatable is also of Croatian descent. So

160
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:15,360
this is the first trade that I
think is interesting. If Victor, do

161
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,919
you have any thoughts to share on
Horvat for Hints with the vlastic sweetener.

162
00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,120
So there's a lot that you could
say about this trade. Obviously, there's

163
00:11:24,399 --> 00:11:31,080
potentially an issue with a new manager
coming in and you worry that maybe they're

164
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,480
going to get fleeced or get taken
advantage of. And this was a new

165
00:11:33,519 --> 00:11:37,840
GM in this league who took over
from all the promoted teams, and they

166
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,480
drafted from the players that were left, and there was a little newness to

167
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:45,720
the league. And so I think
when it first happened, a lot of

168
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,360
us were taken aback. WHOA.
I like Hints, I think he's great,

169
00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:52,480
But when you actually look at the
numbers, in these settings, they're

170
00:11:52,519 --> 00:11:56,840
really close. Hints is six point
five to one fantasy points per game based

171
00:11:56,879 --> 00:12:03,679
on last season's numbers, and Horror
is six point three seven. You're talking

172
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,720
about a negligible difference there between the
two. And then Alex Lasik, who

173
00:12:07,759 --> 00:12:11,759
didn't play much this season but might
factor in more this season. Sure looks

174
00:12:11,799 --> 00:12:15,039
like he's going to. I know
you also had some polls that you set

175
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,279
up to track this based on other
managers, right, yeah. Our tidy

176
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,559
manager pool definitely has voted for the
rupe Hints side of the trade, with

177
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:28,000
thirty total votes, around ninety four
percent of our membership selecting rope Hints over

178
00:12:28,039 --> 00:12:31,360
Bohrbet. I think, obviously we
can take into account moving to the New

179
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:37,080
York Islanders being in a bit more
defense first system. This was Bohorbet's career

180
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,159
year. There's you can hear all
of that. Certainly, when a guy

181
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:43,440
believes in one of his guys,
that is one of the more important and

182
00:12:43,519 --> 00:12:46,000
fun things about fantasy hockey. I
am a Toronto Maple Leaf fan, of

183
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:50,919
some people will know, and until
very recently we had a GM who really

184
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:56,279
loved his guys. Kyle Dubis would
have gotten every player from the Susain Marie

185
00:12:56,279 --> 00:13:00,519
Greyhounds if he had it, if
he had the choice. Even in the

186
00:13:00,639 --> 00:13:03,759
NHL, we have gms who love
their guys. Although the Tidy membership has

187
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:07,759
voted against this trade for Peter,
I can definitely see why he's doing it.

188
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,960
And then if we move even further
into the trade list here we have

189
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:16,639
a couple of more trades that are
perhaps lopsided, but we have one that's

190
00:13:16,759 --> 00:13:20,960
really even, as determined by our
Tidy membership, the Melbourne Ducks. Peter's

191
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:28,320
team acquires Sammy Blay, Travis Hamminik
and Bobby Brink from Gokuchuk yourself, Corey,

192
00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:33,240
a favorite manager among our Tidy leagues, for Jonathan Lecanomaki, Ross Colton,

193
00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:37,679
and the Tidy membership has judged this
trade as pretty much even. We

194
00:13:37,759 --> 00:13:41,919
have thirteen total votes, fifty percent
of our membership voting it as even.

195
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,519
The Croatian element in this trade is, of course Travis Hamminick, who is

196
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:50,279
of Croatian descent. I couldn't figure
out how far back it isn't his family,

197
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,759
but Victor, what do you think
about this? Blaze, Hamminik,

198
00:13:54,840 --> 00:14:00,519
Brink for Leketamaki and Colton. Yeah, I don't necessarily I think it's that

199
00:14:00,639 --> 00:14:05,399
even I side more with with Corey's
side ad and not necessarily because of La

200
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:09,600
Katamaki, But I think Colton He's
he could get some really nice opportunity there

201
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,759
in Colorado, So I think in
terms of a win, now you like

202
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:16,759
that. But I think Bobby Brink
is the big X factor here because we

203
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:20,159
just don't really know what he's gonna
do. He looks like he could be

204
00:14:20,159 --> 00:14:24,320
in line to do pretty good stuff
for Philly. Their top six, top

205
00:14:24,399 --> 00:14:28,519
nine is pretty wide open, so
from that perspective you like it. And

206
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,360
Bla Blaze is just a solid floor
guy for all his periffs. I'm not

207
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:35,440
sure how much Hamminick even really plays
into the equation, but except for the

208
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,799
Croatian part, But in terms of
the fantasy asset, he's He's definitely towards

209
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,279
the bottom of guys that you'd be
interested in. But because it does,

210
00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:50,159
this league does reward things like Fenwick
and not taking penalties Hammenick has and time

211
00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:52,720
on ice, Hamminick has a little
bit more value than he would in other

212
00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:56,679
formats, so there's decent there.
But yeah, this certainly isn't like a

213
00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:01,000
huge disparity by any means, definitely
more even. Yeah, and certainly you

214
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,639
can look at the decline in the
projection for Lekatamaki, you can look at

215
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,039
Ross Colton moving to a new team, and you can see where the genesis

216
00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:13,159
of this deal comes from. We
have some assets of unclear value certainly here

217
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:18,840
onto the final trade here to discuss
with Team Croatia, as we're going to

218
00:15:18,919 --> 00:15:22,879
call it here. The pista resistance
for any competitive team is a high end

219
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:26,720
scorer. And if you're trying to
build the best Croatian descent team that you

220
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:31,120
can, you need to go for
Travis Connectney. Travis Connectney, interestingly enough,

221
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:35,440
is cousins with Bohorvat, so presumably
his grandparents are also Croatian as well.

222
00:15:37,159 --> 00:15:41,440
And we have a trade here between
the Melbourne Ducks and Endoor HC.

223
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:48,759
We have the Melbourne Ducks acquiring Travis
Connectney and we have Endoor HC acquiring Kyle

224
00:15:48,879 --> 00:15:50,960
Conner. And on the face of
it, again, this looks like a

225
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:56,240
pretty lopsided deal, especially when you
consider we have a bit of a how

226
00:15:56,279 --> 00:16:00,159
do we say it, a bit
of a shallower pool for right wingers across

227
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,000
the NHL right now, when it
comes to fantasy leagues, what do you

228
00:16:03,039 --> 00:16:10,360
think of Connecty for Connor, It's
interesting that this went so lopsided. I

229
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:14,639
can't remember if I voted on this
or not, But when you look at

230
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:19,120
the fantasy points, Connectey actually has
more tidy fantasy points or had last year

231
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:23,679
by half a fantasy point. So
you're talking about positional scarcity. You're talking

232
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,919
about a team that is probably on
the up, or at least doesn't have

233
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:33,720
much more direction to go butt up
in the Philadelphia Flyers and then and then

234
00:16:33,799 --> 00:16:37,759
the Winnipeg Jets with cal Connor.
There's a lot of question marks there right

235
00:16:37,799 --> 00:16:40,679
what is happening, Like how good
is that top six top line going to

236
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,480
be? And Kyle Connor, as
good as he is in certain formats for

237
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,960
points and shots, he isn't so
he's pretty poor defensively, So I bet

238
00:16:48,039 --> 00:16:52,000
his Fenwick is probably dragging him down
a little bit, which is counted in

239
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:53,720
this league. So you know,
you might think on the surface, just

240
00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:56,799
looking at it, oh, Kyle
Connor is a better player, and maybe

241
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:00,320
he is for getting goals, but
in this format, Connecting might even be

242
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:04,119
better. And I'm surprised how incredibly
lopsided this was with you, I should

243
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:10,079
say yeah, I should say off
the top that the voting was incredibly lopsided

244
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,319
here, with ninety seven percent thirty
one total votes going to the Kyle Connor

245
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,839
side, with only one manager voting
it as even. And these votes are

246
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,839
anonymous, I should say, so, if you're voting on these, we're

247
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,920
not calling you out for your votes. This is just a great way for

248
00:17:23,039 --> 00:17:27,119
us to figure out what the Tidy
membership thinks about certain trades and certain players.

249
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,759
I was a little surprised as well. You have Winnegg on the downswing

250
00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:36,799
and Philadelphia, as you said,
they're heading up eventually. I was a

251
00:17:36,839 --> 00:17:40,720
little bit surprised by someone who has
won in this format. You know that

252
00:17:40,799 --> 00:17:44,920
there are other things at play besides
goal scoring and point scoring. You mentioned

253
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,880
it earlier. We have Fenwick,
we have giveaway takeaway ratio, We have

254
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:52,119
all sorts of elements that can make
Travis Connectney and his skill in transporting the

255
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:56,759
puck very relevant to this league.
And when it comes to the team Croatia

256
00:17:56,799 --> 00:18:00,440
strategy here, what I have to
say on is that we all have different

257
00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:04,279
goals in Dynasty. For instance,
this past year, I think it would

258
00:18:04,279 --> 00:18:07,720
have been easier for us to win
than compared to other years because there was

259
00:18:07,799 --> 00:18:11,240
Connor Bedard at the end of the
line for the teams that chose to not

260
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,920
pursue a championship this year, and
certainly we had a lot of the teams

261
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:22,799
vying for that asset. We all
have different goals and so Team Croatia is

262
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,799
awesome in my opinion. That's not
to mention the fact that Fantasy Hockey is

263
00:18:26,839 --> 00:18:30,160
supposed to be fun and we all
have our own guys that we believe in,

264
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:33,119
maybe more than others. A lot
of these trades are closer than they

265
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,480
appear when you look at what our
Tidy membership thinks about it. Another thing

266
00:18:37,559 --> 00:18:41,559
to remember is the context of where
teams are in their build cycle. A

267
00:18:41,640 --> 00:18:45,960
trade that we didn't mention that people
can go and check out on the Tidy

268
00:18:45,039 --> 00:18:48,799
Trades channel was another trade that to
the Melbourne Ducks made where they traded away

269
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,599
basically all the Vegas goaltenders to acquire
Carter Hart among some other pieces. We

270
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,240
won't get into that here, but
the reason I think why Peter felt comfortable

271
00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:02,000
doing that is he has Ottinger is
great. You know what you're going to

272
00:19:02,039 --> 00:19:03,960
get from him. At this point, he also has Samsonov, so maybe

273
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,880
giving up those goalies doesn't matter for
him. We're all in different places with

274
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:11,039
our teams, and so it's important
to remember on the face of it that

275
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:15,960
every dynasty trade can be a win. Yeah. I definitely agree there,

276
00:19:17,079 --> 00:19:21,279
and I love it too. If
you want to criticize a move like this,

277
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,519
I think you just have to sit
back and think about how hard it

278
00:19:23,559 --> 00:19:26,480
would be. I remember I was
talking on Twitter a while ago with a

279
00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:32,480
GM who wanted to get only Swedish
players and talking there's a little bit more

280
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:34,519
options there than Croatian players, obviously, but if you want to talk about

281
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:40,359
doing fantasy on hard mode, limit
yourself to one nationality. It is incredibly

282
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:45,759
challenging. Like it's hard enough just
having all your options open and having whatever

283
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:51,160
possibilities and things like salary cap and
dynasty and lots of miners, and the

284
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,480
way we have it set up to
is you win connor Berdard, so you

285
00:19:53,599 --> 00:19:56,880
don't luck into it. You have
to have enough good players to actually win

286
00:19:56,960 --> 00:20:00,599
the relegation or the Constellation playoffs.
There are a lot of factors that go

287
00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:06,759
into it, and doing something like
this, we're perhaps overpaying for players of

288
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:08,880
certain nationality, it just makes it
extra hard but also fun and you get

289
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,400
to root for your guys, and
there's there's something certainly special to that.

290
00:20:15,079 --> 00:20:18,440
Anyways, we are wishing nothing but
the best for Peter in his first year

291
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,920
for tidy Or as he tries to
climb the rankings and join the rest of

292
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:26,720
us in Lord Stanley on the backs
of all of these Croatian descent players of

293
00:20:26,799 --> 00:20:30,680
Croatian descent. I think it's a
very unique strategy. And thank you so

294
00:20:30,799 --> 00:20:33,799
much, Peter for allowing us to
talk about your team today. There is

295
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:37,559
something for everybody in the Tidy And
we'll move on to another situation here that

296
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:41,759
I've noticed as we're leading up to
the season. Here, the draft is

297
00:20:41,839 --> 00:20:45,440
over and teams are looking to fill
some holes that maybe have cropped up as

298
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:49,640
a result of their draft strategies.
I'd love to highlight a trade here in

299
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:53,759
Tidy Gretzky. And of course at
any point you can go and check out

300
00:20:53,839 --> 00:21:00,160
Fantasy Hockeylife dot com. The new
website looks beautiful, Victor, and it's

301
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:03,319
really got a great visualization of how
these leagues break down. When we look

302
00:21:03,319 --> 00:21:07,799
at Tidy Gretzky's trades. We see
a trade between Craftster and the Portland Pirates.

303
00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:12,119
They made an interesting deal and both
have offered some insight to be shared

304
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:17,119
here on the show, and we
appreciate their contribution certainly. So we have

305
00:21:17,319 --> 00:21:22,799
Pis and Craftser acquiring defenseman Scott Perunovich
from the Saint Louis Blues and center rope

306
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:27,759
Hints of the Dallas Stars for Senator
Trevor Zegris from the Anaheim Ducks and Senator

307
00:21:27,799 --> 00:21:32,279
Wyatt Johnston from the Dallas Stars.
The tidy membership seems to think this is

308
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:36,039
pretty even, with a slight lean
to Zegras and Johnston. We have eight

309
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:40,759
total votes on this trade at the
time of this recording, forty seven percent

310
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:45,759
for Zegras and Johnston, seven one
less vote, forty one percent for Scott

311
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,200
Prunovich of rope Hints, with two
managers voting it as an even deal.

312
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:53,480
What do you think about this deal, Victor? On the surface, I

313
00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,480
would want rupe Hints. He's I
think the best asset in the trade.

314
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,119
I also really the upside of Scott
Perunovich, but he is certainly someone who

315
00:22:06,079 --> 00:22:08,160
we don't know if he's ever going
to fully translate his potential. He looks

316
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,440
amazing at times, he gets hurt
all the time. He hasn't been able

317
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:15,759
to fully translate his skill, so
that's the other thing. Ziegres is obviously

318
00:22:15,799 --> 00:22:19,640
a really fun player, but he
also hasn't really hit his full potential.

319
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,920
I also worry a little bit about
the holdout situation, which I think is

320
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,799
something you're going to talk about.
But I wonder how that plays into the

321
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:33,559
relationship with the Ducks and his season. I think there's some hidden issues there.

322
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:37,000
And Johnston, I just I love
Johnson. I think he has super

323
00:22:37,079 --> 00:22:38,640
high upside. What he did as
a teenager is incredible. So I think

324
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,720
if I could just take two out
of these four, I would just take

325
00:22:41,759 --> 00:22:45,160
Hintson Johnston, which I think is
what makes it fun because there's a given

326
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:49,039
a take there, one more established
in one with a huge upside, and

327
00:22:49,079 --> 00:22:55,079
the other two pieces or maybe have
some question marks. Yeah, and the

328
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:59,119
managers agree with you, Victor,
both managers, and I will say both

329
00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,319
managers here that this is a win. I feel it's a win as well.

330
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,640
I'll start with Hatfield, who is
Portland pirates. Hatfield had this to

331
00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,519
say about the deal. It's a
tough balance of getting prepared for the future

332
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,119
while also making sure I don't get
relegated and all my plans go out the

333
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:18,359
window. Essentially, what Hatfield had
to say to me about this deal was

334
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:23,799
that, of course he loves Johnston. Sorry, of course he loves rope

335
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:27,400
Hints. Rope Hints is a great
player, He's the offensive engine of that

336
00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:30,759
team. With Jason Robertson, those
two are going to be a formidable top

337
00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:34,400
line for years and years to come. And of course Scott Prunovich is a

338
00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,880
nice little add on with some upside, but he feels that he is not

339
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,480
ready to compete this year. He
would rather compete next year or the year

340
00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:45,559
after, and that's the plan for
the Portland Pirates. Since coming away with

341
00:23:47,079 --> 00:23:52,240
Johnston and with Zigris, two players
with very high upside as offensive contributors in

342
00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:56,000
the NHL, is a win for
him. Craftster was a bit more verbose

343
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:02,480
in his offering for our podcast recording
here today. He says the following,

344
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:06,519
I've been wanting to deal Zegris more
or less since I drafted him last year.

345
00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:10,200
Just not a huge fan and he
disappointed for long stretches last season.

346
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:15,359
Sometimes I think in deals you need
to combat the instinctual why is craft start

347
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:21,240
offering me this deal question that another
GM will ask, I saw Zegras's holdout,

348
00:24:21,599 --> 00:24:25,599
which is now over as a misdirection
here, maybe the other GM says

349
00:24:25,599 --> 00:24:27,240
in response to that question, Oh, he must be worried about the holdout.

350
00:24:27,759 --> 00:24:32,440
That is what I want the GM
to think. In reality, I

351
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,799
just wanted to get rid of Zegris
and I think he's not worth his perceived

352
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:40,359
value. I think this is a
great strategy to use here. You have

353
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,160
a player who's certainly in the public
eye right now, and in the past

354
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,160
week he has now resolved his contract
hold out and he will be with the

355
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:51,680
Anaheim Ducks to start the season as
we all expected. But to using this

356
00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:56,480
holdout as reverse leverage in this deal, I think is a very smart tactic.

357
00:24:56,839 --> 00:25:03,160
What do you think? Victor and
other impacts are always really interesting to

358
00:25:03,319 --> 00:25:07,480
use, and craftser is a really
fun person to follow on the discord too.

359
00:25:07,519 --> 00:25:12,200
I feel like whenever he has something
to say, it's usually there's usually

360
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,440
a lot to it. He's usually
thought about it a lot, and so

361
00:25:15,559 --> 00:25:18,720
it's worth like reading through, even
though it may seem like, oh,

362
00:25:18,839 --> 00:25:22,759
there's a lot of words here,
but it's really. I'm sure he's someone

363
00:25:22,799 --> 00:25:25,920
who thinks about this a lot.
It wasn't a rash decision, but as

364
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,880
he said, maybe it can come
across that way. But you can use

365
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,799
this type of thing all the time. Maybe someone gets helped off the ice

366
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,960
and there's speculation and worry and they
might be fine, but you shoot off

367
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:40,000
a trade in that moment, and
maybe you were thinking that all along.

368
00:25:40,079 --> 00:25:41,640
You just wait for the right opportunity, or you wait for someone to get

369
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:45,279
a hat trick and then you shoot
off a trade off or something like that.

370
00:25:45,400 --> 00:25:48,000
Kind of misdirection can be really interesting, but I do think it's important.

371
00:25:48,039 --> 00:25:51,599
The other part of what he has
said is that you know you have

372
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:53,640
these feelings and these thoughts for a
while. It isn't really on a whim,

373
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:57,359
but it may seem like it.
I also really agree that Zigris and

374
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,880
there are a lot of players like
this who aren't necessarily worth their perceived value.

375
00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:06,400
I think as someone because if you
watch him in the ascitement and the

376
00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:10,440
interest that you might have as a
fan bring you out of your seat kind

377
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,359
of factor or doesn't always play to
the score sheet and doesn't always translate to

378
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,000
your fantasy points, so that that
can be useful. Right maybe, and

379
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:22,400
we're not saying that he's a bad
asset, but maybe some might overvalue a

380
00:26:22,519 --> 00:26:27,039
certain player and you can use that
to your advantage. Definitely and to highlight

381
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:32,400
the Dallas Stars aspect of this trade. We have Johnston, in my opinion,

382
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,799
is the two C on Dallas going
forward. He's an incredible player.

383
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,640
I have him in the DDD,
the Triple D league that Victor and I

384
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,559
are both in. I'm a big
fan of Wyatt Johnston. Craftser had this

385
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:47,920
to say about Johnston, and again, I second what you have to say

386
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,799
about crafts Er. I think I
learned something new every time I read something

387
00:26:49,839 --> 00:26:53,279
he has to say or they have
to say. For Johnston, it's a

388
00:26:53,359 --> 00:26:56,680
games play an issue. He had
amazing value for me last year as a

389
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,720
farm streamer, but as a pro
obviously you have to hold him due to

390
00:27:00,799 --> 00:27:04,440
his age and upside because actual twenty
three to twenty four production won't be that

391
00:27:04,519 --> 00:27:07,759
attractive. With Hints being the player. On the other side, it's another

392
00:27:07,839 --> 00:27:12,400
perfect opportunity to misdirect the receiving GM. On my feelings about Johnston, quote

393
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:17,960
unquote, he must really like Hints
and therefore be down on Johnston is the

394
00:27:18,039 --> 00:27:22,119
thought that Craftster is hoping for here. We have a lot of different factors

395
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,920
at play here, with Johnston being
the center directly behind Hints. What do

396
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,319
you think of this Dallas Stars element
of the trade. Yeah, I think

397
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:32,599
there are a lot of things there, and I think the first thing you

398
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:37,359
mentioned is a huge factor, right, and I think sometimes we underestimate that.

399
00:27:37,519 --> 00:27:41,720
But that transition of a player going
from being streamed up and down from

400
00:27:41,759 --> 00:27:45,359
your miners to being a full time
roster hole taking up that spot where you

401
00:27:45,559 --> 00:27:51,559
can't stream someone else in or potentially
have a little bit lower fantasy points because

402
00:27:51,599 --> 00:27:55,200
that transition from this is great value
to pump him in out of the lineup

403
00:27:55,279 --> 00:27:56,960
to I have to keep him all
the time. He might be one of

404
00:27:57,039 --> 00:28:03,720
your lower end scorers until he fully
matures and becomes the superstar that maybe we

405
00:28:03,839 --> 00:28:07,039
hope he can be. So that
in between can be really hard, and

406
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:11,279
sometimes that's a great time to trade
a player while the value is still high

407
00:28:11,799 --> 00:28:15,119
and it might be not bad or
not difficult. But I think Joel would

408
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:18,759
agree that two years from now,
Johnson is probably going to be even more

409
00:28:18,839 --> 00:28:22,319
exciting and valuable, which is what
he's hoping for so again when but I

410
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:26,559
think that transition is something that people
can take advantage of a little bit more

411
00:28:26,599 --> 00:28:30,599
often. I would say, these
are the kinds of managers that we have

412
00:28:30,759 --> 00:28:33,559
in the Tidy, Victor. They're
calculating, they're strategic, and they're considered.

413
00:28:33,599 --> 00:28:37,720
There are no rash decisions in a
league like this where the margins are

414
00:28:37,799 --> 00:28:41,240
so small and you can be relegated
if you finish low enough in the standings.

415
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,720
Craftser did go on to say,
and this is in the spirit of

416
00:28:45,960 --> 00:28:48,519
learning something new every time you talk
to talk to this person, this general,

417
00:28:48,799 --> 00:28:52,960
this manager. Craftser goes on to
say that he's worried about Stankoven coming

418
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,400
in. I know you're a big
hashtag team Stanky guy, Victor stank Oven

419
00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,160
coming in and competing with Johnston for
the last power Play one spot in the

420
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,240
next two to five years. So
if those guys are competing for power Play

421
00:29:04,319 --> 00:29:07,920
time and Hints is up there the
entire time, I definitely see the rationale

422
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:12,079
for making the deal here. Yeah, definitely agree. I want to thank

423
00:29:12,119 --> 00:29:15,880
you too for highlighting all these fantastic
things that are happening in the Tidy,

424
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,799
and hopefully people are enjoying this and
they can let us know what you think.

425
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:23,559
We're going to continue to bring some
news and discuss some of these finer

426
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,319
points that happen. And remember that
if you want to get in, you

427
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:30,160
can get on the waiting list for
when we open up a new division next

428
00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,720
summer. Thanks for having me,
Victor. We have a lot of stuff

429
00:29:33,759 --> 00:29:38,039
coming on the Tidy Takes segment.
We have a number of trades just as

430
00:29:38,079 --> 00:29:42,400
a preview for next time. We'll
be talking about players like Jarvis Heatle,

431
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:48,359
Samuskavic, who is really impressing in
Florida right now, Ogrin Lundell, Jaeger,

432
00:29:48,480 --> 00:29:52,519
Perfetti, Helga Granz, Cam York. We have a wealth of content

433
00:29:52,640 --> 00:30:02,880
to dissect here on the Tidy Takes, so stay tuned. This excellent are

434
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:11,119
serious injury, Victor. Once again, we are here to talk about shares

435
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,559
and I will give the traditional setup. Why do you care who's on our

436
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:23,680
fantasy leaks because there is a truth
to You can go on a podcast and

437
00:30:23,759 --> 00:30:27,319
say I like so and so player, I like this guy, I think

438
00:30:27,359 --> 00:30:32,240
this player is good, this is
my guy. But the truth comes out

439
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,440
when you actually look at somebody's rosters, especially if they have enough rosters you

440
00:30:36,559 --> 00:30:42,000
find out because you can say I'm
high on Connor McDavid, And whether you

441
00:30:42,079 --> 00:30:45,279
have Connor McDavid or not really is
a product of whether you had to the

442
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:49,240
number one pick or not. So
that's luck. But once you get past

443
00:30:49,319 --> 00:30:52,079
the first couple of rounds, the
guys who keep showing up on your teams

444
00:30:52,119 --> 00:30:56,640
again and again, you obviously value
more highly than the market. So you

445
00:30:56,720 --> 00:31:02,480
and I are putting together these lists. I've got a little spreadsheet that I

446
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:07,759
put together to get these sheets together
for us so that we can see who

447
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,480
our big dynasty shares are. Victor
do you find this? See now for

448
00:31:11,599 --> 00:31:15,000
you too? Man? You got
a dang sample size you have? You

449
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:19,839
are way You're into a double digit
number that starts with a crooked number in

450
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,400
terms of the number of leagues you
have. It's there's actually a sample size

451
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,680
to go with your victory. But
you get something out of this thing.

452
00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:30,200
I do. I think when I
was looking back, first of all,

453
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,640
I remember when we first started doing
this and you were telling me how many

454
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,319
leisure and I was like, oh
man, that's crazy. I am now

455
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:38,640
at that number that I thought you
were crazy for. So who's the crazy

456
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:41,079
one? Now? I saw the
crazy train coming, and I said,

457
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:45,400
you know what, I should get
on board. But yeah, I know.

458
00:31:45,519 --> 00:31:49,880
I looked at my sample and I
thought some of these make sense.

459
00:31:51,079 --> 00:31:53,160
Yes, I like that guy,
as you said, and maybe you reach

460
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:56,359
for them, or maybe they fall
to you. Maybe it's value. And

461
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,440
then some guys just look at it
and say, how did that happen?

462
00:32:00,279 --> 00:32:05,200
That wasn't necessarily intentional, But we'll
talk about some reasons why there. I

463
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,319
think there are always a reason why, whether it's positional scarcity, or they're

464
00:32:08,359 --> 00:32:12,680
close to their miner's limit, or
just someone you ended up grabbing. There's

465
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,720
always a reason. And maybe some
you reach for, maybe they fall to

466
00:32:15,759 --> 00:32:20,559
you. But I think it says
a lot. Each one says has a

467
00:32:20,559 --> 00:32:22,640
little story to tell, I would
say, And so I do find it

468
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:24,920
useful, and I'm glad that you
remind us every year to do this because

469
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:30,440
it's this is definitely one that I
would have not thought to do. Yeah,

470
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:34,000
it's one of my favorite exercises.
For one thing. When you know

471
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,680
who you have the most shares of, when you're somebody who has as money

472
00:32:36,799 --> 00:32:40,000
leagues as Victor and I, you
almost need to remind yourself who you're cheering

473
00:32:40,119 --> 00:32:44,759
for when you're watching all the games, so because you'll be like, oh,

474
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,559
there's this guy I, and then
you'll realize that in you know,

475
00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:51,799
seventy five percent of your leagues,
that goal was going against you instead of

476
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,000
for you, and kind of you're
like, oh, wait, maybe I

477
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:59,039
need to be careful here. But
looking at it, yeah, I've got

478
00:32:59,119 --> 00:33:02,680
twenty eightlygues over four sports, and
so it sometimes some of them are in

479
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:06,599
the off season, but Victor,
you do all of them in fantasy hockey.

480
00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:08,200
But let me, I'm gonna start. We're gonna start with some of

481
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:12,279
my high share guys, and then
Victor, you've got a little bit more

482
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,960
robust of a list because you have
a few more leagues. I'm in eight

483
00:33:15,119 --> 00:33:20,279
fantasy hockey leagues this year, and
I'm happy I'm in a variety of formats.

484
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,200
Last year this was a little more
boring exercise because I think I had

485
00:33:23,279 --> 00:33:29,880
my four dynasties that I've had for
some time. One of them is the

486
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,759
league that we play against each other
in one of these league where we co

487
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:38,319
manage a team, and then there's
the two FHL dynasty leagues. And this

488
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:44,720
year I actually have three redrafts on
top of that, and I drafted the

489
00:33:44,799 --> 00:33:47,519
fifth Dynasty, the four sport dynasty
that you and I are also playing against

490
00:33:47,559 --> 00:33:53,640
each other in. And so I'm
co managing a Fantasy National Fantasy Hockey Championship

491
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:59,079
team with our listener Thomas. I've
entered, for some reason at the last

492
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,880
minute impulsive the NFHC Salary Challenge,
which is just a different it's a different

493
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,039
type of league. It's not going
to require the same type of maintenance,

494
00:34:07,119 --> 00:34:09,559
but it's a salary cat based thing. And then I represent fan tracks in

495
00:34:09,639 --> 00:34:15,119
an industry league with the FSGA that
I won last year, and I actually

496
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,280
that's also a tiered thing, and
so I moved up, but I won

497
00:34:17,360 --> 00:34:22,960
the lower rung, so we'll see. And all these things are point based,

498
00:34:22,119 --> 00:34:28,559
which would seriously bum out twenty sixteen
me because I loved my categories leagues.

499
00:34:28,599 --> 00:34:34,840
But apparently that's just not going to
happen. The industry pretty much seems

500
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:38,840
to have moved to points based.
Nobody wants to value some of the hitters

501
00:34:38,920 --> 00:34:44,639
some of the bash guys in quite
the same way. And of my eight

502
00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,800
leagues, so May Lakes, five
Dynasty, three Redraft, four of them

503
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:52,840
are new this year and two of
them use real NHL salaries, so you

504
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,400
actually have to think about them from
a salary car perspective. So let's talk

505
00:34:57,440 --> 00:35:01,079
about the guys I have multiple shares
of, and I'm just going to go

506
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:06,519
more than two out of the eight. And the guy I have the most

507
00:35:06,639 --> 00:35:09,719
of, Tom Wilson. The real
surprise, Victor, is that I have

508
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:13,800
more Tom Wilson shares than you do. You could believe it. You're really

509
00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,199
the super fan. I'm just a
follow up of yours on Tom Wilson,

510
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:21,199
all kidding decide, Willie is a
guy I have a lot of shares of.

511
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:27,119
And oddly enough, or maybe more
indicatively, I have shares in all

512
00:35:27,159 --> 00:35:30,480
the four years that I drafted this
year, and then the fifth one is

513
00:35:30,559 --> 00:35:31,920
the team we co manage. I
don't have it in my I don't have

514
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:37,639
Tom Wilson in my old dynasties.
But there was a reason, and that

515
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:40,880
is I felt like Tom Wilson was
going way under value in drafts this year,

516
00:35:42,679 --> 00:35:47,519
and that's because he puts up the
peripheral stats. But last year he

517
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:52,639
was injured and he missed the first
few months of the season. But when

518
00:35:52,679 --> 00:35:55,719
he came back, he really kicked
it up. For the season last year,

519
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,400
three hits, three shots, and
a fifty seven point pace. But

520
00:36:00,679 --> 00:36:04,360
if you look at what was happening
with him month by month, he was

521
00:36:05,039 --> 00:36:09,679
coming back from that really bad injury. In January, he started very slowly,

522
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:14,159
and then after that by April he
was scoring a point per game and

523
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,400
on a tanking, really bad Capitals
team. In addition to that, which

524
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:21,840
by the way, probably is what
the Capitals will look like this year if

525
00:36:21,920 --> 00:36:25,320
they're opening night game against Pittsburgh is
any occasion. But by the end of

526
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:30,280
the season, scoring almost or taking
almost four shots game and playing. He

527
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:36,719
went from less than fifteen minutes blow
fifteen minutes in January to over nineteen minutes

528
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:40,440
in April. So I think he's
come back. He hasn't been suspended for

529
00:36:40,559 --> 00:36:45,239
more than two years now. The
floor is beautiful because of all those shots

530
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:51,119
and hits, all that beautiful bash. So Tom Wilson stands alone as the

531
00:36:51,239 --> 00:36:57,800
only guy I have on the majority
of my teams. And that's real fresh

532
00:36:58,639 --> 00:37:02,400
ownership, because a lot of that
was this year's draft victor. Your personal

533
00:37:02,440 --> 00:37:06,440
feelings about Tom Wilson aside, what
do you think about this as a fantasy

534
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:10,719
hockey play? Oh? I think
it's great these kind of players who had

535
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:15,679
injury riddled season and people forget about
them. This is exactly the kind of

536
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:19,280
a value you can get. I
think one of the big things in drafts

537
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,079
is you look at last year's performance
and everybody wants the Tage Thompson's, the

538
00:37:22,159 --> 00:37:27,440
breakouts, the Jack Hughes. But
you need to get those guys ahead of

539
00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:30,639
the year that they broke out,
not after they break out. And the

540
00:37:30,800 --> 00:37:35,840
other good one to get is after
they've been injured or potentially not put up

541
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:37,920
their full potential, and I think
Tom Wilson is just a classic case of

542
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,400
that. There's also he's also one
of the main guys now. There's the

543
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:47,880
Backstroms are a little bit older,
the Kuznetsovs or whatever he is. Whenever

544
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,920
he feels like it, he can
be great. So he's one of the

545
00:37:52,039 --> 00:37:54,960
more main guys now. And yeah, you definitely, I think, are

546
00:37:55,039 --> 00:37:59,960
getting value out of Wilson, and
you're going to get that solid prift flow

547
00:38:00,079 --> 00:38:02,400
or he may not score sixty points
and he doesn't really need to for to

548
00:38:02,559 --> 00:38:07,760
have really great value. So I
think it's a fantastic move. And yeah,

549
00:38:07,920 --> 00:38:13,719
definitely a fan in terms of what
he can provide. Yeah, and

550
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:20,199
in the salary league. So the
NFHC salary cap format, it doesn't use

551
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:23,800
real salaries. It uses sort of
fantasy generated salaries based on last year,

552
00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:29,039
and it doesn't change. Tom Wilson
was dying near a minimum contract. Like

553
00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:35,360
Tom Wilson's contract in that format based
on last year's production was below Sam Lafferty.

554
00:38:35,519 --> 00:38:39,239
It was below only Mada Michael Rasmussen. It was way down there.

555
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:45,400
So I'm pretty excited about that.
Anyway, next guy, I have two

556
00:38:45,519 --> 00:38:50,800
guys who are at the four share
club, and the first is Matty paneers

557
00:38:51,599 --> 00:38:57,840
I am avowed Matti Peneer's stand.
All of these four shares are actually new

558
00:38:57,880 --> 00:39:00,159
ones because I haven't been able to
get him in the past. I only

559
00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:02,920
got him in one dynasty and it's
the new one, the Forest Border that

560
00:39:04,039 --> 00:39:07,760
we drafted Victor. And that's beautiful, by the way, because that's salary,

561
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:13,519
and definitely salary is a nice format
to have him when he's still on

562
00:39:13,639 --> 00:39:19,559
that cheap rookie contract. It's not
been an encouraging start for all Maddie.

563
00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:24,000
In his first three games so far
this year, no points war shots went

564
00:39:24,159 --> 00:39:29,400
hit, and even after the first
game, he didn't even have that much

565
00:39:29,519 --> 00:39:31,840
power play time on ice he had. I need to look back and see

566
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:38,280
if Seattle actually had power plays in
their Thursday and Friday games, because he

567
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:43,360
was one twenty four and one oh
nine for power play time on ice.

568
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:46,280
So that's worrisome to me. But
he's a rookie. He's not a rookie.

569
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:52,239
He's a Calder winner, right he
is. He is progression is not

570
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,960
linear. All the time I drafted
him hoping that it will be, and

571
00:39:57,079 --> 00:40:00,480
hoping that Matt Peneers has a further
breakout, even on a team in the

572
00:40:00,519 --> 00:40:06,440
Kraken that doesn't seem to like to
prioritize anybody's line. So let's hope for

573
00:40:06,480 --> 00:40:10,320
Matty Beniers and the other victor and
then get your reactions here, John Carlson.

574
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,880
But that's another guy. And I
know this is two capitals and I

575
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:21,199
swear it's the last one and I'm
talking about here, but I think he's

576
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:24,320
just a crazy value. He is
also a guy who's going way way down

577
00:40:25,159 --> 00:40:30,599
lower. I'm seeing him like eighth
round type territory in some leagues, and

578
00:40:30,559 --> 00:40:35,320
I think that's not fair. This
is a guy who was on his way

579
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:38,519
to a Norris before he got hurt
a while back. Of course, he

580
00:40:38,639 --> 00:40:43,159
took the awful blow to his face
last year and that's why he's been discounted,

581
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,840
aside from the fact that he's also
older. And again, the Caps

582
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:50,039
look lousy in Game one, but
I think there's still juice in there.

583
00:40:50,039 --> 00:40:54,960
I think John Carlson has still got
another good season or two, and he

584
00:40:55,079 --> 00:41:00,000
would not be a value at the
old school John Carlson in the second round

585
00:41:00,239 --> 00:41:02,119
value, but he is, Sir
John Carlson the third round whatever. He

586
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,719
was a couple of years ago.
But at the value I'm getting him this

587
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,480
year pretty good. So Vanier's Carlson
takes Victor. Are these guys ones that

588
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:15,559
you would still want to emphasize in
fantasy leagues? Oh? Yeah, definitely.

589
00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:21,840
And you absolutely sniped me on Vaniers. We were Dolan and I were

590
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:23,840
looking at him and I said,
you know what, I think I can

591
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:28,320
get another good hockey player because we
were doing the four sport draft and I

592
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,679
was like, let's wait on Veneer's
and we waited, and I figured you

593
00:41:31,719 --> 00:41:35,599
were going to snipe him, but
he ended up falling. I can't remember

594
00:41:35,599 --> 00:41:37,000
who we took with that our first
pick but it was I think it was

595
00:41:37,039 --> 00:41:42,639
a really good baseball player or something, which I just let David do that

596
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:45,639
because I figured we could get someone
else good later. But yeah, no,

597
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:50,360
I definitely love Veneers and think that's
going to be a really good one

598
00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:53,880
for you, especially you know with
the salary cap. Although the thing that

599
00:41:54,159 --> 00:41:58,559
bothers me about Veneers, and one
of the reasons I was slightly okay letting

600
00:41:58,639 --> 00:42:02,719
him go, was just that that
frustrating deployment in Seattle. That's the thing

601
00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,880
is that they they're so horizontal with
their deployment, and they give a little

602
00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:12,159
bit of everybody. Of course they
do give. They are giving Vinyar's a

603
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,440
decent amount of time on ice,
but still the last three years he's up

604
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:20,639
to almost one hundred games played and
he's still averaging under eighteen minutes a night.

605
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:22,480
That's not what you want from your
superstars. You want twenty plus,

606
00:42:22,599 --> 00:42:27,000
you want twenty one to twenty two. That's where you really pile up all

607
00:42:27,039 --> 00:42:30,119
the stats. So that's just a
minor issue. You still like him.

608
00:42:30,119 --> 00:42:32,920
I still think he's great. I
still think he can get up to point

609
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:37,360
per game, although he's zero points
in three games as we're recording this,

610
00:42:37,559 --> 00:42:40,639
but I still have faith that Seattle
is going to turn things around. They're

611
00:42:40,679 --> 00:42:44,920
not as bad as they've shown so
far, but they probably will spread out

612
00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,840
the offense, which is a little
bit frustrating. So I definitely like him.

613
00:42:49,360 --> 00:42:52,400
I probably have fewer shares just because
of what I just said, just

614
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:54,840
because I tend to want the guys
who are the man on their team,

615
00:42:55,440 --> 00:43:00,679
and so that's one reason Carlson I
wish I had more. Really think that

616
00:43:00,519 --> 00:43:06,239
he has gonna have amazing value,
and I definitely agree based on what's been

617
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:08,320
happening with him and what's happening with
the team. I think that a lot

618
00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:12,639
of people are shying away, but
he's a stud back there. He puts

619
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,119
up so much in the way of
priffs. The scoring should be good,

620
00:43:15,400 --> 00:43:20,880
even if Washington isn't as good as
they have been in the past, which

621
00:43:20,960 --> 00:43:23,000
I don't think they will be.
I think they probably missed the playoffs again.

622
00:43:23,559 --> 00:43:29,000
But he should be fantastic and he's
going to be feeding ov all season,

623
00:43:29,039 --> 00:43:30,280
and they have that to play for, they have the offense to play

624
00:43:30,320 --> 00:43:34,639
for, and I don't think he's
seeding his role to Sandy in anytime soon.

625
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,719
So yeah, I'm definitely a fan
of these two for sure, and

626
00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:38,159
I think I'm gonna be a pretty
big fan of the next couple of years.

627
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:45,599
Jesse, who are they? Yeah, it's interesting. So the next

628
00:43:45,679 --> 00:43:49,760
two are my three share guys,
and I only have two three share guys.

629
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,360
So with these eight teams, I
have a five, I have two

630
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:57,400
fours, I have two threes.
Beyond that only two s. Dougie Hamilton

631
00:43:57,760 --> 00:44:00,400
is my next one. He is
definitely a favorite of both of ours,

632
00:44:00,599 --> 00:44:07,400
Victor. He followed up a seventy
four point season last year with two goals

633
00:44:07,559 --> 00:44:12,679
and an assist in his first two
games with seven shots. I know Luke

634
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,920
Hues is coming in the rearview mirror, but in a redraft or win.

635
00:44:15,000 --> 00:44:21,480
Now, the guy is an absolute
slam dunk, Dougie Hamilton because around him

636
00:44:21,559 --> 00:44:25,719
now, not only is he excellent
and he puts up even perifs and he

637
00:44:25,840 --> 00:44:30,599
does all things over the years,
but now that team that he's on is

638
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,320
supercharged, the new Jersey Devil.
So I think that Dougie Hamilton, I'm

639
00:44:35,320 --> 00:44:38,519
going to be very happy in having
multiple shares of him this year and the

640
00:44:38,599 --> 00:44:44,440
other one, Romanosi. I'm pretty
excited that I have three shares left of

641
00:44:44,599 --> 00:44:47,159
Roman Yosi, and the thing is
I could have very easily had five because

642
00:44:47,159 --> 00:44:52,800
I traded away from I traded off
one share of him last year. In

643
00:44:52,800 --> 00:44:55,679
the league we play against each other
and in a deal where I forget who

644
00:44:55,719 --> 00:44:59,719
I knted that might have been Stank
Covid, I forget which guy I got

645
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:05,480
or what package it was. But
honestly, Roman Yosi, I don't know

646
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,159
why, but he also seems to
become into quite a discount this year,

647
00:45:09,199 --> 00:45:15,920
and it feels like maybe people just
think that the Predator's power play is going

648
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,119
to fade so much with the guys
that they've lost or the additional aging that's

649
00:45:20,159 --> 00:45:22,760
going on. I don't know why
it is that Roman Yosi is dropping like

650
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:28,079
a rock. Maybe I missed something
obvious, but he to me is still

651
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,880
a superstar defenseman and a guy who's
going to put up a whole lot of

652
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:36,599
points this year, amazing because he
had an excellent year last year. So

653
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:44,280
that is my three share guys victor
any reaction to either of those, I

654
00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:49,079
think talking about Yosi first, I
think the reason is people shy away from

655
00:45:49,199 --> 00:45:52,159
quote unquote bad teams. Right,
We've always mentioned this, so I don't

656
00:45:52,159 --> 00:45:57,760
think that Nashville is going to be
great, but has shown for years that

657
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:00,519
it doesn't matter how good the team
around him is, he is going to

658
00:46:00,599 --> 00:46:04,840
do great. He didn't he leave
the score the team in scoring with like

659
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:08,039
seventy plus points. The guy is
ridiculous. So or ninety six points.

660
00:46:08,440 --> 00:46:12,840
Yeah, that was a crazy year. And I don't think he's necessarily going

661
00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:15,239
to do that. I don't know
that he's point per game plus. He's

662
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:20,239
fantastic, and he's the thing about
yo See that's always so good too,

663
00:46:20,400 --> 00:46:23,199
is that the floor is so high
with all the shots and the priiffs.

664
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:28,360
The bash is phenomenal. Even if
he ends up scoring not that much,

665
00:46:29,199 --> 00:46:30,960
he has the potential to. I
think the thing about yo Se is you

666
00:46:31,039 --> 00:46:34,519
just don't want to reach for him. And part of the reason I didn't

667
00:46:34,559 --> 00:46:37,119
really get him is that I like
to wait a little bit on my defenseman

668
00:46:37,400 --> 00:46:42,519
because I think that the gap it's
like goalies in a way. It's people

669
00:46:42,559 --> 00:46:45,760
talk about zero G. There's like
a zero D strategy that you can do

670
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:50,320
too. Not quite zero D,
but like the gap between Yo s and

671
00:46:51,039 --> 00:46:53,920
someone that you might be getting a
little bit later, like a most cider.

672
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:58,679
The gap may not be as big
as you might think, or even

673
00:46:58,760 --> 00:47:01,960
like a kil mccarr in terms of
like your points in your category coverage as

674
00:47:02,039 --> 00:47:07,000
opposed to the difference between one of
the high end forwards that you can get

675
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,599
and someone you can get two or
three rounds later. So that's why I

676
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:13,519
often end up waiting a little bit. But if he's still there, I

677
00:47:13,639 --> 00:47:16,199
might I would certainly be happy with
him and have him in a couple of

678
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:21,480
dynasty leagues, very happy about that. But yeah, I think Yosi is

679
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:25,320
going to be just flye, not
worried about his production. And Hamilton,

680
00:47:25,480 --> 00:47:30,159
Yeah, how can you not love
what Hamilton? The situation around him has

681
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:36,920
just ripened right, Like he's in
there with all these fantastic scores, and

682
00:47:37,159 --> 00:47:40,119
he's obviously a fantastic player too,
so it's not like he's just benefiting from

683
00:47:40,119 --> 00:47:45,559
the environment. He's amazing and everything
around him got so much better. I

684
00:47:45,639 --> 00:47:50,519
think there's a pretty good chance he
is the best Fantasy defenseman this year,

685
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:54,000
just because the floor is high.
He's going to tap it to Jack Hughes,

686
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,400
who's going to go through three players
and score that. He can do

687
00:47:57,480 --> 00:48:00,119
that kind of stuff, and so
he can get a lot of ex for

688
00:48:00,199 --> 00:48:04,400
points by osmosis and then also do
all the great things that he already does.

689
00:48:05,039 --> 00:48:07,320
So I love Dougie. I have
several shares of him, and I'm

690
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:12,159
very happy. And even in cap
leagues, it depends on how you acquire

691
00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,199
him. I'm actually we're talking in
a couple of cap leagues about acquiring him,

692
00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:19,519
and usually it comes down to cap
space. We talk about cap space

693
00:48:19,559 --> 00:48:22,679
being a weapon. Well, in
the league that Mason and I are in,

694
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,760
we have twenty six million dollars in
cap space and we're now leveraging that

695
00:48:28,079 --> 00:48:31,880
because a lot of teams didn't really
draft smart and so now they're sitting there

696
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:36,559
up against the cap and it's okay, we could acquire a player like Dougie

697
00:48:36,559 --> 00:48:38,000
Hamilton. We didn't want to reach
for him in the draft, but now

698
00:48:38,559 --> 00:48:40,960
we have. Now we might be
able to get him at a little bit

699
00:48:42,000 --> 00:48:45,559
of a discount, and we have
plenty of cap space to afford it.

700
00:48:45,679 --> 00:48:47,559
And this is why you leave yourself
cap space and don't spend up to the

701
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:52,400
limit, because someone like this can
become available and he could be like a

702
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:57,119
league winner. He's that good.
So definitely love me some Dougie, Yeah,

703
00:48:59,039 --> 00:49:04,800
Yeah, for sure, and I
love constructing my team with one or

704
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:08,119
two high end defensemen who I feel
like are going to provide that floor because

705
00:49:08,159 --> 00:49:13,360
I feel like it's gonna be harder
to find those guys off the wire.

706
00:49:13,440 --> 00:49:17,320
So it is it's a give and
take situation. Yes, you do want

707
00:49:17,400 --> 00:49:22,159
to try to get the production out
of the elite level forwards, and I

708
00:49:22,280 --> 00:49:24,880
definitely hear you there. Sometimes that's
the better move in a draft, But

709
00:49:25,639 --> 00:49:29,760
boyd do I love having a couple
of high end defensemen. And then the

710
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,360
other thing I'll mention, just because
I have fewer guys that talk through here

711
00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:36,719
than you, Victor, I'm gonna
throw in a little bonus for me,

712
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,760
and that is I look at the
guys I have zero shares of and it

713
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:44,719
surprises me or I'm mad about it, and I'll just mention a couple of

714
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:47,960
passing without going into the But I
find it extremely weird, especially with what

715
00:49:49,079 --> 00:49:52,440
I've just described for my defenseman,
that I have zero shares of Darnell Nurse,

716
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:58,400
who puts up great points production in
terms of fantasy points, even though

717
00:49:58,920 --> 00:50:04,920
he's not necessary a real scorer in
the traditional mold, and he's obviously even

718
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:09,800
Tyson Berry's gone, but he's also
nurse is not taken over the power play

719
00:50:10,199 --> 00:50:15,280
in Edmonton, and Mika's been a
jadd. I think that's because I traded

720
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:19,559
him off last year. But I
have muscle memory of Mica being on my

721
00:50:19,639 --> 00:50:22,679
teams. And Jamie Drysdale I wish
I had on some teams because I do

722
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:24,840
feel like he's going to have a
surprising season. But this is a guy

723
00:50:24,880 --> 00:50:32,239
who's gone from what it appears now
was overvalued to what appears now to be

724
00:50:32,519 --> 00:50:37,159
undervalued. Did that make sense?
Two years ago he was probably valued more

725
00:50:37,199 --> 00:50:42,039
than he should have been, and
he is now valued I think less than

726
00:50:42,119 --> 00:50:45,719
he ought to be. Yes,
Victor, I like that phrase. You

727
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:52,280
can I'll let you transition that to
talk about some of your teams. Yeah,

728
00:50:52,320 --> 00:50:55,000
it's the Mica muscle memory is a
really good alliteration that I enjoy.

729
00:50:57,639 --> 00:51:00,760
Yeah, great stuff on yours.
And yeah, the zero shares says,

730
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,679
I didn't look at that, but
that's definitely. I have so many teams

731
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:07,239
that I don't know. I wonder
who are my zero share guys. There's

732
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:08,960
no way, Victor, there's no
way you have a zero shared guy that

733
00:51:09,079 --> 00:51:15,079
you actually wanted. Although it is
funny, like you do end up with

734
00:51:15,159 --> 00:51:17,679
the same kind of guys, right, I'm sure there are guys that other

735
00:51:17,719 --> 00:51:22,559
people think are interesting that I don't
have, But yeah, I didn't look

736
00:51:22,559 --> 00:51:25,519
at that. So I'll talk about
my teams. I have three best Balls,

737
00:51:25,599 --> 00:51:30,639
three raft draft, three redrafts,
fifteen dynasties. Six of those are

738
00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:34,800
salary cap and one roto. So
what does that work out too? That's

739
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,800
about twenty two leagues. I thought
there were more, but maybe I miscounted.

740
00:51:37,880 --> 00:51:40,800
I'm definitely in more leagues that I
commission that I'm not playing in.

741
00:51:42,280 --> 00:51:45,840
That's enough victory, that's enough.
Yeah, I know. And a lot

742
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:50,480
of these have cogms, which I'm
very grateful for because I think I've mentioned

743
00:51:50,480 --> 00:51:53,679
it many times. I'm a huge
fan of getting help. And I was

744
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:59,679
just talking with Elon this morning,
keeping Carlson Elon, who's a fantastic COGM,

745
00:51:59,719 --> 00:52:02,320
because and I have very different strategies. We have different strengths, right,

746
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:05,679
Like, I'm definitely more of someone
who looks at the long game,

747
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:07,840
and Elon's very good at Oh,
this injury happened, and this person is

748
00:52:07,880 --> 00:52:12,920
going to get an opportunity, and
I'm usually just not paying that close attention

749
00:52:13,039 --> 00:52:15,199
to the day by day things because
I have more of a long view about

750
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:20,119
it, and so he and I
are really good complimentary skill sets in that

751
00:52:20,199 --> 00:52:22,960
way. So get yourself, COGM. It's fun and you disagree sometimes,

752
00:52:23,039 --> 00:52:28,320
which is good because you know,
you learn how the people look at things

753
00:52:28,440 --> 00:52:30,639
and all all that kind of stuff. So I'm a big fan. We'll

754
00:52:30,639 --> 00:52:37,239
talk about some of my hi guys, and there is for sure a one

755
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:40,920
hundred percent clear, no question leader
in the clubhouse here, Jesse. It

756
00:52:42,119 --> 00:52:45,800
is not even close. Seth Jones
is my number one by a lot.

757
00:52:46,039 --> 00:52:53,360
I have nine shares, wow,
nine times nine times, and nine of

758
00:52:53,440 --> 00:53:00,320
them. So of the nine,
I have one. In that full thirty

759
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,920
two team cap that I was talking
about with Mason Black, we faded.

760
00:53:04,960 --> 00:53:07,280
We basically went for value right from
the beginning, and we got guys with

761
00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:13,559
good contracts, and then we were
happy to get him because he was sitting

762
00:53:13,599 --> 00:53:15,480
there as one of the guys that
was available much later. I can't remember

763
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:17,719
when we got him in, but
it was many rounds in and so a

764
00:53:17,800 --> 00:53:22,320
lot of the other the Dougies and
the mccars and all those guys were gone,

765
00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:24,320
and so it was like yeah,
top power play defenseman, good solid

766
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,119
prift floor like, it was nice
to get him. I got him in

767
00:53:28,119 --> 00:53:30,480
an auction draft that was good,
and the rest were the rest were the

768
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:35,320
non cap two dynasties and the rest
were redrafts. So a lot of them,

769
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:39,719
I think that was five were redraft
So definitely excited about him specifically for

770
00:53:39,840 --> 00:53:43,679
this year. One of them is
our Common League, where I already had

771
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:46,559
him in. But Jones is coming
off a kind of a down year.

772
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:51,599
I think we mentioned him a little
bit earlier, but I love that he's

773
00:53:51,639 --> 00:53:54,639
going to get just tons of time
on ice right. He got to Chicago

774
00:53:55,119 --> 00:54:00,639
and he had a pretty decent year
that first year, and then last year

775
00:54:00,760 --> 00:54:04,519
was a bit of a down year, which wasn't really his fault. People

776
00:54:04,559 --> 00:54:07,519
were leaving. It was like the
liquidation sale was happening all around him and

777
00:54:07,679 --> 00:54:10,360
he was like not part of it. So just to be able to keep

778
00:54:10,400 --> 00:54:15,039
his head above water and stay relevant
in that situation was good. And he

779
00:54:15,159 --> 00:54:16,960
did that. And obviously he's going
to get a ton of time with Badard.

780
00:54:17,079 --> 00:54:21,039
And I know it seems weird they
were already talking about Badard exposure as

781
00:54:21,039 --> 00:54:23,920
an eighteen year old, but it's
real. The kid's phenomenal, and it's

782
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:30,039
going to be important to have exposure
to him. So getting top power play

783
00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:32,679
on the Badard power play already is
going to be important. So I love

784
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:37,239
that he Also. Jones scored twelve
goals last season. The last time he

785
00:54:37,320 --> 00:54:42,800
scored twelve or more than ten goals
was sixteen seventeen and seventeen eighteen. He

786
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,639
had twelve and sixteen goals those years
in Columbus, which were pretty high output

787
00:54:46,760 --> 00:54:50,360
seasons, and I think he can
match or do even better than that.

788
00:54:50,519 --> 00:54:53,079
Those seasons he shot almost eight in
six and a half percent, and I

789
00:54:53,159 --> 00:54:58,360
think that he's good enough to be
that kind of shooter again. So bump

790
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:00,079
up those goals, bump up the
assist maybe, and I think that he

791
00:55:00,119 --> 00:55:05,360
can get a fifteen plus goal season
and a fifty five or sixty plus points

792
00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:08,559
season. So I really like Seth
Jones for this year. If he goes

793
00:55:08,599 --> 00:55:12,599
into a cold spell, it might
be worth trying to acquire him. I

794
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:15,199
think that I think he's going to
be good. What do you think,

795
00:55:15,280 --> 00:55:20,039
Jesse? Yeah, definitely. If
you were playing the long game on this

796
00:55:20,199 --> 00:55:23,480
guy, if you drafted him last
year, you added some dynasties. It's

797
00:55:23,519 --> 00:55:28,280
going to pay off now with the
dard there, he's going to be above

798
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:30,559
the value that he probably could have
been got at a couple of years ago.

799
00:55:30,599 --> 00:55:35,440
It gets enough bash. So yeah, Victor, I think that's not

800
00:55:35,679 --> 00:55:40,400
a one that I'd be embarrassed to
be leading the clubhouse with. For sure

801
00:55:42,519 --> 00:55:45,400
the next guy. Since Paul Coffee's
nineteen ninety four and ninety five season,

802
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:51,199
only three defensemen have ever paced for
ninety plus points whilst playing at least half

803
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:54,199
the season. Romagnosi did it once, just once, two seasons ago,

804
00:55:54,239 --> 00:55:57,559
at the age of thirty one.
Ek sixty five, of course did it

805
00:55:57,639 --> 00:56:00,480
last season, scoring one hundred points
at the age of thirty two. And

806
00:56:00,599 --> 00:56:04,840
who is the third to score at
such a torrid pace. This defenseman paced

807
00:56:04,880 --> 00:56:07,679
for over ninety points not once but
twice, and he did it in the

808
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:12,440
most recent seasons, And that is
of course Cale mccarr. Cale mccarr,

809
00:56:12,519 --> 00:56:15,400
who I got to see last night. I see in person, up close,

810
00:56:15,719 --> 00:56:17,320
up close and personal. It was
really fun. In fact, it

811
00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:21,599
was interesting. Most of the game
the Sharks played so well. He actually

812
00:56:21,639 --> 00:56:22,840
wasn't able to do that much,
but there were a couple of times where

813
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:28,719
Kill mccarr just decided to remember that
he's Cal mccarr and split through four or

814
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:31,599
five basically the whole team and just
go in and get a scoring chance.

815
00:56:31,599 --> 00:56:35,000
And that was fun. Like he
can just it seems like he can do

816
00:56:35,039 --> 00:56:37,480
that whenever he feels like, kid, yeah, do that more often.

817
00:56:37,559 --> 00:56:42,000
Kill, that's good. But he's
entering his age twenty five season. He'll

818
00:56:42,039 --> 00:56:46,719
be he'll be twenty five the day
before Halloween, and he's if he plays

819
00:56:46,719 --> 00:56:51,519
close to eighty games, which has
definitely not been the case. He's got

820
00:56:51,639 --> 00:56:54,599
fifty seven, forty four, seventy
seven, and sixty games played each season.

821
00:56:55,079 --> 00:56:58,800
But if he can do that,
he'll hit ninety or one hundred points,

822
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:01,840
I'm sure before he's thirty two,
and he's one of the very best

823
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:06,079
fantasy asset when he plays. Hopefully
can just stay in the lineup. A

824
00:57:06,159 --> 00:57:09,360
lot of these Kill mccar shares that
I have, which I have seven of,

825
00:57:09,639 --> 00:57:13,880
are in dynasty leagues. They're actually
all in dynasty leagues. I don't

826
00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,119
get him in any redraft league because
I don't reach for defenseman typically, and

827
00:57:17,280 --> 00:57:20,880
so I'm not going to get him
there. One of them is are the

828
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,880
league you and I cogm together.
It's a cap league, and he's great

829
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:29,400
there. I have him in several
other dynasty spots because I've invested early in

830
00:57:29,519 --> 00:57:31,119
him as Yeah, you just you
love having Kill mccarr and your team because

831
00:57:31,119 --> 00:57:35,159
you just know at any moment you
can be a difference maker. One of

832
00:57:35,199 --> 00:57:39,000
them is our FHL dynasty, where
defenseman scoring counts for more, and so

833
00:57:39,599 --> 00:57:42,840
to me, that's really worth it
to have him there. He was my

834
00:57:42,920 --> 00:57:45,719
first round pick in that league because
I just figured he's going to be more

835
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:49,480
value than some of the forwards because
it's like one point five I think the

836
00:57:49,519 --> 00:57:53,280
scoring for defenseman or something like that. Yeah, but for mccar, basically,

837
00:57:53,599 --> 00:57:58,400
you either reach for him and redraft
or you have invested long term in

838
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:00,480
your Kill macar shares and are pretty
happy about it. I'm happy about it.

839
00:58:00,679 --> 00:58:02,719
I don't have him any redrafts,
though, do you, Jesse.

840
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:08,000
No. I'm trying to think if
I even managed to share. But this

841
00:58:08,159 --> 00:58:15,320
puts the lie victor to the idea
that first round picks cannot be high in

842
00:58:15,440 --> 00:58:20,239
your shares, and I think part
of that. I'm guessing some of these

843
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:24,960
KL mccar shares even came before he
became cal mccarr because of your prospect expertise.

844
00:58:25,079 --> 00:58:30,119
Yeah, like you say, I
think this is Yeah, you can't

845
00:58:30,159 --> 00:58:34,480
do better, especially for a dynasty
guy like you are, with the number

846
00:58:34,480 --> 00:58:37,880
of dynasty leagues you have, than
to have kel mccarr everywhere. Take about

847
00:58:37,920 --> 00:58:42,440
for that one man. And again, just like me, this is starting

848
00:58:42,480 --> 00:58:45,119
out with a ton of defenseman.
Victor, who you got next? Yeah,

849
00:58:45,280 --> 00:58:49,119
the next is another defenseman. And
yes, I was an early investor

850
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:52,960
in cal mccarr, so that came
back to be beneficial. And hopefully this

851
00:58:53,119 --> 00:58:58,599
next guy will too, and that
is Olin Zelweger after being part of the

852
00:58:58,679 --> 00:59:02,280
last rounds of Anaheim roster. That's
hopefully we can expect some power play time

853
00:59:02,320 --> 00:59:07,079
for Zellweger in the San Diego Goals
organization. There's always a chance he gets

854
00:59:07,119 --> 00:59:12,639
called up. I personally think that
Pavel Minchikoff, who did make the team,

855
00:59:13,440 --> 00:59:17,199
is potentially going to play his play
a certain amount of games and then

856
00:59:17,280 --> 00:59:21,920
get sent down maybe mayde than nine
games, although I'm not sure that necessarily

857
00:59:22,559 --> 00:59:27,480
applies to him. He is a
little bit older, so Minchikov is a

858
00:59:27,519 --> 00:59:30,599
November twenty fifth birthday, so because
of that, he doesn't have to go

859
00:59:30,679 --> 00:59:35,360
back to the which was what I
was originally thinking. But he actually can

860
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,800
go to the AHL because he'll be
twenty before December fifteenth. So I think

861
00:59:38,239 --> 00:59:43,679
Minchikov might play a certain number of
games and then go to the AHL because

862
00:59:43,679 --> 00:59:46,440
I think he could really use that
AHL time, and Zellweger is starting there.

863
00:59:46,760 --> 00:59:50,800
I feel like these two might bounce
back and forth between the AHL and

864
00:59:50,920 --> 00:59:53,519
NHL this season. I'm not sure
that either one of them plays the full

865
00:59:53,599 --> 00:59:58,559
season in each, although maybe for
continuity they do. It probably depends on

866
00:59:58,599 --> 01:00:01,880
how well Minchikof does in this first
set of games. But he played the

867
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:06,760
first game last night as we're recording
this. He's got another game today and

868
01:00:06,920 --> 01:00:10,599
he played almost eighteen minutes last night, and it's hard to read anything into

869
01:00:10,719 --> 01:00:15,719
that first game, but potentially,
just looking at some of the numbers,

870
01:00:15,239 --> 01:00:20,559
he did okay. He got caved
in defensively, but then again, that's

871
01:00:20,599 --> 01:00:23,199
what happens when you lay on Anaei. I think between these two, it's

872
01:00:23,239 --> 01:00:27,519
going to be interesting too, between
Zellweger and Minschikov. I still believe that

873
01:00:28,480 --> 01:00:30,519
Zellweger is at least as good,
if not better than Minschikov. And I

874
01:00:30,719 --> 01:00:35,679
like how Mitch Brown put it.
We talked to him off air when we

875
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:39,639
had him last on the show,
and he put it really well that Anaheim

876
01:00:39,679 --> 01:00:44,000
has two number one defensemen. These
two guys are both number one guys,

877
01:00:44,159 --> 01:00:46,719
and it really just depends on how
Anaheim wants to use them and how to

878
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:52,559
deploy their skills. They could both
be power play quarterbacks, they could both

879
01:00:52,679 --> 01:00:54,519
be top of the lineup guys,
they might be both top pairing guys,

880
01:00:54,599 --> 01:00:57,880
and so they're both going to be
valuable. So I don't know that the

881
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,559
choice is really one or the other. I think that they both can be

882
01:01:00,519 --> 01:01:05,039
and not in a way that we've
seen like Carlson and Burns. I think

883
01:01:05,079 --> 01:01:08,440
they have more complimentary skills than some
of the other top power play or top

884
01:01:08,599 --> 01:01:14,599
defenseman on the same team have been, and so that'll be interesting to see

885
01:01:14,679 --> 01:01:19,159
how they are used. They are
both lefty, and the other thing that

886
01:01:19,239 --> 01:01:22,800
Mitchikov has going for him is he
doesn't have size issues. He's six to

887
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,599
one, almost two hundred pounds,
whereas Elweger's five nine, one hundred and

888
01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:28,920
eighty, so there might be a
little bit of an issue though, But

889
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,159
I love Zellweger I have so many
shares with him, as you can see,

890
01:01:31,159 --> 01:01:36,280
and I do think the future is
very bright. But I'll get your

891
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:37,719
take on that, Jesse, and
then we'll talk about some forwards. What

892
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:42,880
do you think about zel Weeger?
Oh? Certainly, And this is one

893
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:46,280
of the first examples of a guy
who because the Steinistya have a ton of

894
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:52,960
shares of I'm sure you're not counting
on this guy to be a killer for

895
01:01:52,119 --> 01:01:55,559
your pro teams this year. This
is a guy who's the slow role,

896
01:01:55,639 --> 01:02:00,480
but again in the cal mccarr mold
of in a couple of year, who

897
01:02:00,559 --> 01:02:02,159
knows what this guy could be.
But yeah, you got a couple more

898
01:02:02,239 --> 01:02:07,679
grizzled centers as we drop down to
your next tier of the sixth year guys.

899
01:02:07,760 --> 01:02:12,840
Right, Yeah, this is one
that I really a couple that I'm

900
01:02:12,840 --> 01:02:15,239
really happy about. So the first
one is John Tavares, So Tavares.

901
01:02:15,800 --> 01:02:19,639
Yeah, he's a bit older,
and I think in redrafts. I think

902
01:02:19,719 --> 01:02:23,440
all these shares are redrafts for best
balls. He is thirty three, who

903
01:02:23,599 --> 01:02:28,199
just turned thirty three a few weeks
ago, and he's still an elite point

904
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:32,840
producer. He has contributed at or
just below a point per game pace over

905
01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:37,280
the last five seasons as a leaf
point nine to eight points per game cumulatively.

906
01:02:37,840 --> 01:02:40,039
Last year he said personal best with
thirty nine power play points and nine

907
01:02:40,079 --> 01:02:45,559
game winning goals. Maybe we could
expect a little bit lower on the goals,

908
01:02:45,960 --> 01:02:47,519
I'm sorry, in the power play
points, closer to the thirties.

909
01:02:47,599 --> 01:02:53,599
Perhaps the last several seasons he had
twenty one, twelve, twenty six,

910
01:02:53,719 --> 01:02:58,400
and then thirty nine power play points, so there's definitely a huge variability there.

911
01:02:59,159 --> 01:03:01,119
He even contributed hundred hits last season. Maybe we should expect that not

912
01:03:01,239 --> 01:03:05,920
to be his calling card. He
can definitely add some peripherals. He's really

913
01:03:05,960 --> 01:03:07,880
good in the faceoff dot. I'm
not sure that I have him in too

914
01:03:07,920 --> 01:03:12,320
many faceoff leagues, but he was. He has the seventh most face off

915
01:03:12,440 --> 01:03:15,639
wins I'm all active players, and
he's been winning at fifty seven percent.

916
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:20,199
So in those leagues that count face
off wins, Tavaris is pretty good.

917
01:03:20,599 --> 01:03:24,559
And I was getting him basically in
the fourth or fifth round in redraft leagues,

918
01:03:24,559 --> 01:03:28,400
and so I think that's really good
value because a lot of those I

919
01:03:28,519 --> 01:03:30,760
tend to like to go forward.
I tend to like to go forward.

920
01:03:31,719 --> 01:03:34,880
Several in the in a row.
But I like to try to get my

921
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:38,280
wingers, especially right wing. So
when you can get you know, like

922
01:03:38,440 --> 01:03:44,920
your Ronton in with your first pick, and then hopefully get another high end

923
01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:49,760
winger. I believe I went Ronton
in Stuchla, and then you can get

924
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,840
Tavaris or maybe someone like an Eicle, So you usually can get a nice,

925
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:57,800
really high end one see or I
guess Matthews is really the one seed,

926
01:03:57,840 --> 01:04:00,440
but Tavaris is basically like a second
first line center right. So it's

927
01:04:00,519 --> 01:04:03,719
nice to be able to get that
value at center, which I always find

928
01:04:03,760 --> 01:04:06,960
you can get is pretty decent value
at center, and it's not if you

929
01:04:08,039 --> 01:04:10,400
have McKinnon staring you in the face
in the first round, you're not going

930
01:04:10,440 --> 01:04:13,000
to take him. But I like
being able to take that winger a little

931
01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:15,599
bit higher, like your kut Roughs, especially because right wing is so scarce,

932
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,840
and then come back with the high
end center in round four or five.

933
01:04:20,360 --> 01:04:24,119
I know that most people drafts are
over, but that's how I like

934
01:04:24,239 --> 01:04:27,000
to generally approach things. If I
can. I'm not going to pass on

935
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,679
obviously McDavid or McKennon or anything like
that. But what do you think about

936
01:04:30,719 --> 01:04:36,239
that strategy Jesse and Tavaris in general, No, totally. Tavares shows up

937
01:04:36,239 --> 01:04:41,280
in the draft in terms of the
draft order frequently. Like you said,

938
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:45,880
right, when everybody's chasing your different
position, nobody wants to lock into that

939
01:04:45,960 --> 01:04:49,280
second centerman and he's an amazing value. Yeah, I'm impressed. Just admit

940
01:04:49,320 --> 01:04:53,719
you're totally in the bag for the
least picture. And let's hear about your

941
01:04:53,760 --> 01:04:58,639
next guy. Yeah, total leafs
homework here for sure. All right,

942
01:04:58,719 --> 01:05:02,440
so my next guy Niko here,
And yeah, this one was definitely intentional.

943
01:05:02,559 --> 01:05:04,960
I got I have a couple of
shares of him and Dynasty, but

944
01:05:06,159 --> 01:05:10,960
there's more to the heat Shier story. And as the area end of an

945
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:15,159
era with bergeron and we know that
the days of Copatara can't really last forever,

946
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:18,039
the next decade of Selki finalists is
probably going to include Nico Heashier.

947
01:05:18,559 --> 01:05:23,199
The forward talent in New Jersey has
arrived, as we've already mentioned, and

948
01:05:23,320 --> 01:05:27,840
a strong top nine really gives he
Shares coaching staff several excellent wing choices and

949
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:30,920
power play options. There have been
some recent rebalancing on the power play lines.

950
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:33,880
Maybe there's a bit more even deployment, but you know that Nico is

951
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:38,280
going to get some time with Jack, and Jack is a really special scoring

952
01:05:38,360 --> 01:05:42,559
talent. Over the last two seasons, Nico has the six most face off

953
01:05:42,599 --> 01:05:45,920
wins amongst all active players, and
his ratio over those two seasons is fifty

954
01:05:45,920 --> 01:05:49,039
three percent, So he's definitely pretty
respectable in that regard. Last season,

955
01:05:49,159 --> 01:05:54,199
Nico sent personal best across the board, good enough to tie for twenty ninth

956
01:05:54,239 --> 01:05:58,280
in league scoring, and I just
feel like there's even another step forward for

957
01:05:58,519 --> 01:06:00,119
heash here, and so I think
a lot of people might look at his

958
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:03,639
basically point per game season and think, nah, he's more of a sixty

959
01:06:03,679 --> 01:06:06,880
five to seventy point guy. And
I'm not going to draft him as a

960
01:06:06,920 --> 01:06:10,440
point per game player. But if
you're giving him, if you're getting him

961
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,880
at value in round six to seven
or something like that, like I was

962
01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:15,760
getting He's here, then that's fantastic
value. And I think you have to

963
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:20,079
take that not to mention the fact
that in the head to head leagues,

964
01:06:20,360 --> 01:06:25,719
we're getting amazing off night value with
the Devils, and I was really trying

965
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:29,320
to get as many Devils as I
could. I got a pretty decent number

966
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,840
of shares of Meyer and brought and
Hughes was going too early mostly for me

967
01:06:32,920 --> 01:06:35,440
to get. So I do have
some shares of Hughes, but those are

968
01:06:35,519 --> 01:06:39,760
in dynasty leagues and it's just a
couple, so he's not going to show

969
01:06:39,840 --> 01:06:43,159
up here. But I was really
trying to get your Hamilton's and even your

970
01:06:43,199 --> 01:06:45,480
Luke cues. Maybe later if you
can. But just that's something to keep

971
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,480
in mind too in trades, is
that if any of these guys are slumping

972
01:06:48,480 --> 01:06:51,840
a little bit, you might try
to acquire some devils just because you're really

973
01:06:53,119 --> 01:06:56,920
if it's close, you might really
benefit from those off nights. Yeah,

974
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:59,960
do you agree with that, Jesse? And do you think that he's share

975
01:07:00,239 --> 01:07:01,760
can consistently be more than a seventy
point guy? I do you think he's

976
01:07:01,800 --> 01:07:05,639
closer to that? When we talk
about three hundred episodes, Victor, I

977
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:10,719
feel like he's here has been an
object of my fascination for at least half

978
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:15,360
of those, just in terms of
is this guy gonna end up being a

979
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:20,360
fantasy player who we love? And
I'm increasingly yeah, I increasingly invested in

980
01:07:20,360 --> 01:07:25,519
And of course I got burned the
years that he spent a lot of time

981
01:07:25,599 --> 01:07:29,960
injured, But I am a fan
of his, and I think this is

982
01:07:30,280 --> 01:07:33,159
a very savvy pick up, especially
for those scheduling issues that you know about

983
01:07:33,239 --> 01:07:38,840
in the daily start leagues. And
you're pretty much you're a daily start all

984
01:07:38,880 --> 01:07:41,960
over the place, aren't you,
Victor. Don't you do you have aside

985
01:07:41,960 --> 01:07:45,920
from your best balls? Do you
have weekly leagues? Yeah? So the

986
01:07:45,119 --> 01:07:50,679
EP team league that Cam set up
as weekly. I really dislike weekly leagues.

987
01:07:51,039 --> 01:07:57,360
I like the ability to manipulate the
schedule and the rosters daily, and

988
01:07:57,519 --> 01:08:00,719
so that kind of format really annoys
me. But so I am in one

989
01:08:00,280 --> 01:08:03,239
weekly league just because I feel like
I have to play in that league as

990
01:08:03,400 --> 01:08:08,119
one of the fantasy quote unquote experts
for EP. So I got my arm

991
01:08:08,159 --> 01:08:13,079
twisted into that one twenty two leagues
might help cure you of that aversion to

992
01:08:13,159 --> 01:08:16,439
the weekly league, Victor, But
go on, this next guy I haven't

993
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:19,520
heard of, so you'll have to
explain to the listeners who he is.

994
01:08:20,760 --> 01:08:28,159
Yeah, very obscure name here.
It's Connor Bedard, Yes, Connor Badard,

995
01:08:28,279 --> 01:08:32,199
not Connor McDavid or any other Connor. But I did manage to win

996
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:36,880
Badard in two dynasties where you had
to win the Constellation bracket. One of

997
01:08:36,920 --> 01:08:43,399
those was very tenuous. I barely
beat Greg who goes by Sachi's in one

998
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:46,079
of our leagues great competitor. That
was tooth and nail all the way down

999
01:08:46,119 --> 01:08:50,279
to the end. Such a close
matchup and obviously a big difference between first

1000
01:08:50,319 --> 01:08:55,039
and second there. I believe he
even traded back after getting second. I

1001
01:08:55,079 --> 01:08:58,560
can't remember, but that was one. The other one where I had as

1002
01:08:58,600 --> 01:09:01,960
a dynasty where I got him as
the as I had the number one pick

1003
01:09:02,079 --> 01:09:05,399
and I got the lottery, so
that was good. I didn't slide back.

1004
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:11,000
One was an auction where I definitely
overpaid for him, but he went

1005
01:09:11,119 --> 01:09:15,039
for less than McDavid win in his
inaugural season, so I figure it might

1006
01:09:15,079 --> 01:09:16,640
be worth it, and being able
to hold the best player for at least

1007
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,279
a few years is one of those
where the salary increases year by year,

1008
01:09:19,359 --> 01:09:24,880
so he will get really expensive really
quickly, but Bard will probably still be

1009
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:28,119
valuable. And the guy who has
McDavid has held him the whole time and

1010
01:09:28,199 --> 01:09:31,119
he's ninety some dollars now, Butard
will still be quite a bit cheaper than

1011
01:09:31,159 --> 01:09:34,199
that. So I figured it was
probably worth it to get the best player

1012
01:09:34,840 --> 01:09:38,159
and the other two are best balls. I did not get him in any

1013
01:09:38,239 --> 01:09:41,680
redraft leagues. I just felt like
he was going way too early. He

1014
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:45,079
was basically going in the second or
third round and all my redraft leagues,

1015
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,079
so I was not about to do
that. I get that he might pace

1016
01:09:48,159 --> 01:09:51,359
for close to ninety points, but
I just don't want to. I didn't

1017
01:09:51,359 --> 01:09:55,800
want to reach for him in any
of those, so I was just watching

1018
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:59,039
him go and seeing if he lasted. But I don't know, Jesse,

1019
01:09:59,359 --> 01:10:00,600
did you get him? Did you
get a Dard on any redraft leagues,

1020
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,760
because I feel like you really had
to reach for him if you wanted to

1021
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:05,840
get him. Yeah. No,
I thought about it, and I thought,

1022
01:10:06,319 --> 01:10:11,439
this is one guy who, even
if he has practically in the David

1023
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:15,800
Rookie year, the value is squeezed
out of this thing, and you're better

1024
01:10:15,920 --> 01:10:20,640
off in most leagues if you're really
going to push it, taking the Stephen

1025
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:26,159
Stamp coastes of the world, that
you have a little bit more boring certainty

1026
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:30,560
that wins leagues. Sometimes I'm not
saying I guess I am stained Stamp Coast

1027
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,720
over Bidard, even Stephen. That'll
probably come back to haunt me. Let's

1028
01:10:33,760 --> 01:10:38,239
distract everybody from that. Take Victor
and move on because your next guy is

1029
01:10:38,319 --> 01:10:42,720
another common favorite of ours. I
feel like, and finally, for the

1030
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:45,720
first time, this episode will be
going goal Yeah, I'm going goalie,

1031
01:10:46,279 --> 01:10:50,000
and I'm definitely have a diversity of
goalies in my redraft leagues, but in

1032
01:10:50,039 --> 01:10:56,439
my dynasty leagues, I am very
heavily invested in Lucas Tostal six shares all

1033
01:10:56,560 --> 01:11:00,359
Dynasty. I remain steadfast in my
believe that he's going to be a star,

1034
01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,239
future starter. He's third on my
prospect goalie list. If you look

1035
01:11:03,279 --> 01:11:08,880
at the Hockey prospecting, he's basically
graduated from the model now at twenty three

1036
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:12,640
years old, and he graduated sixty
five percent chance of being a star.

1037
01:11:12,760 --> 01:11:15,520
And what you like about his progression
too, is every year he has increased

1038
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,880
his star potential, which is really
hard to do, and it just shows

1039
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:23,960
the amazing consistency and steady improvement that
he's made a year by year. So

1040
01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:27,319
I love Dostell. In fact,
as we're recording this today, he should

1041
01:11:27,359 --> 01:11:30,119
be starting in goal and I just
feel like he could wrestle the job away

1042
01:11:30,159 --> 01:11:34,159
from Gibson as early as this year. So in those leagues. I'm counting

1043
01:11:34,199 --> 01:11:38,600
on him for twenty to thirty,
maybe forty starts this season. That would

1044
01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:41,199
be great. Even though the Ducks
aren't great, they also have a good

1045
01:11:41,239 --> 01:11:44,920
off night schedule, so he's a
nice one to pair with some other regular

1046
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,079
starters. And yeah, I just
I really like him. He's he looks

1047
01:11:48,159 --> 01:11:51,279
like a lot of really good goaltenders. Took A Rask is one that he

1048
01:11:51,359 --> 01:11:55,079
looks a lot alike in that model, and he's he was a star starter.

1049
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:58,479
So I don't know, I don't
know what's not to like about Doshtala.

1050
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:00,520
I just think he's really fantastic,
really steady. Even on a bad

1051
01:12:00,600 --> 01:12:03,359
team, He's shown he can be
good, and I think the Ducks are

1052
01:12:03,399 --> 01:12:06,039
going to be bad. What do
you think, Jesse? Yeah, we

1053
01:12:06,159 --> 01:12:12,359
need two things to make him a
superstar. One is that the Ducks get

1054
01:12:12,399 --> 01:12:15,359
a little better and the other is
that maybe they can move on from John

1055
01:12:15,399 --> 01:12:19,800
Gibson. But like I said,
even in the absence of those two things,

1056
01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,640
as long as you don't take him
as like one of your starting goalies,

1057
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:26,720
I mean, you have him as
shares, but you're not expecting him

1058
01:12:27,119 --> 01:12:29,399
to lead your team. I'm sure
this year you're looking at him more in

1059
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:32,359
the long term. He is a
guy I'd love to have on some my

1060
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,439
I think I do have him in
a couple. But okay, Victor,

1061
01:12:35,520 --> 01:12:39,000
now we're out of your six years. We got to hit through some of

1062
01:12:39,119 --> 01:12:41,199
your five share guys. You get
a lot of them here. Why don't

1063
01:12:41,199 --> 01:12:43,479
you take a couple of them at
a time and then I'll come back and

1064
01:12:43,560 --> 01:12:48,119
react. Sure sounds good. So
my first five share guy all dynasties is

1065
01:12:48,199 --> 01:12:53,720
Kaden, Gooalie and Cad and Gooley. I was a little surprised, frankly

1066
01:12:53,840 --> 01:12:56,680
at how well he's done in Montreal
in his first season. He went straight

1067
01:12:56,760 --> 01:13:00,520
from the WHL and that vaunted Edmonton
Oil King straight into the NHL. He

1068
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:03,800
didn't play the whole season last season, but forty four games, thirty four

1069
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:09,199
point pace and just awesome for Bash. Two hits a game, almost two

1070
01:13:09,239 --> 01:13:11,800
blocks a game. His shots were
just won a game. But I think

1071
01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,359
that he's gonna get plenty of priffs. He played over twenty minutes a night

1072
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:19,079
his first season. Right now he's
under that in his first couple of games,

1073
01:13:19,119 --> 01:13:20,880
but I think he's going to get
up there. And he had two

1074
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:25,399
shots, three blocks, and four
hits in his first game. That's ridiculous

1075
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,119
per Feral production. He's not really
getting in power play time on ice,

1076
01:13:29,199 --> 01:13:32,359
but that may come, especially if
Matheson gets hurt or if they decide to

1077
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:36,279
equally distribute their power play. We'll
see. But the fact that he was

1078
01:13:36,439 --> 01:13:41,399
so good defensively as at such as
a twenty year old in the NHL gives

1079
01:13:41,439 --> 01:13:44,039
me hope that I think a lot
of that offense can translate, which it

1080
01:13:44,319 --> 01:13:47,000
hasn't yet, but I think it
can. And Mitaki prospecting doesn't look that

1081
01:13:47,079 --> 01:13:53,479
exciting, but he still looks like
a Nick Letty type, someone who certainly

1082
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,680
can have some decent offense. And
we know that the priiffs are way better

1083
01:13:56,840 --> 01:14:00,680
than someone like Letty. So you
like that floor for Kaden Gooule, and

1084
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:02,800
especially as you're flexing him up and
down from your miners, there's a lot

1085
01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:08,640
to like. The next one is
Walker Doer, and this one is one

1086
01:14:08,680 --> 01:14:12,319
of those that surprised me. Jesse. I don't think I would consider myself

1087
01:14:12,479 --> 01:14:16,359
a Walker doer Stan as much as
I like someone like Kayden Gooley, but

1088
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:21,800
Doer is. He's a twenty five
year old right wing for the Calgary Flames.

1089
01:14:23,159 --> 01:14:27,640
He's played thirty NHL games to date, and these are all in dynasty

1090
01:14:27,680 --> 01:14:30,680
leagues where I have him, and
most of them are accelerat cap leagues where

1091
01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:35,520
that's positional scarcity, and that contract
is something to really like. His underlying

1092
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:40,079
show him as pretty much just close
to average, so he's nothing special.

1093
01:14:40,239 --> 01:14:45,239
He definitely looks if you look at
Mason Black's model the pnhle, he looks

1094
01:14:45,319 --> 01:14:49,279
more like a third liner, second
or third liner basically below a second liner,

1095
01:14:49,359 --> 01:14:54,239
so middle six guy. But it's
more that he's pretty good just for

1096
01:14:54,920 --> 01:14:59,640
that position and for the contract.
I think the doer one is more just

1097
01:15:00,039 --> 01:15:02,880
a situational need. But Gooley,
I'm definitely a fan of, and I

1098
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,960
know that Lane Hudson is going to
happen at some point, but I still

1099
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:12,600
think that Goholi will retain plenty of
his peripheral values, something like a Alex

1100
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:16,720
Petangelo. Maybe. What do you
think about that, Jesse, Yeah,

1101
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:20,039
I think that's that's a nice pick. Some people are talkers and some people

1102
01:15:20,039 --> 01:15:24,359
are doers, Victor, and that's
what we can know about in Kad and

1103
01:15:24,399 --> 01:15:28,079
Gooley. You mentioned his first game, but his second game he had an

1104
01:15:28,079 --> 01:15:31,319
assist and he had five shots in
addition to holding up those three blocks again,

1105
01:15:31,399 --> 01:15:35,960
so the bash appears to not be
going away. Kaden Googley was not

1106
01:15:36,079 --> 01:15:40,000
on my radar. He's been in
some of my recent conversations. I will

1107
01:15:40,039 --> 01:15:44,840
say as far as some roster management, and those are two solid picks.

1108
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,439
But the doers, the walker doers
are exactly the fun of an exercise like

1109
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,560
this, especially for a guy like
you who has so many Dynasty rosters,

1110
01:15:50,600 --> 01:15:54,399
as you find guys that you're like, I had no idea I had that

1111
01:15:54,479 --> 01:15:58,039
many shares of him, Or who's
your next couple guys? Yeah, for

1112
01:15:58,159 --> 01:16:00,880
sure? All right, so the
next couple, well, Raphael Harvey Pinard

1113
01:16:01,239 --> 01:16:06,319
URHP if you like, He's at
thirty nine games played and I have five

1114
01:16:06,359 --> 01:16:11,560
shares of him, Isaac forty games
played. Actually, with the game last

1115
01:16:11,640 --> 01:16:15,960
night, I'm not sure he's someone
that you really hold beyond the games played

1116
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:19,000
limit, but maybe, And as
Ryan Spore mentioned way back in our Montreal

1117
01:16:19,079 --> 01:16:23,560
team preview, this year is really
important for him to see both what he

1118
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:27,399
does and how the team uses him. And I'm pretty sure Ryan predicted a

1119
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:31,079
potential decrease in time on ice,
which so far has borne out because last

1120
01:16:31,119 --> 01:16:34,479
season he averaged over seventeen minutes a
night, and part of that was injury

1121
01:16:34,720 --> 01:16:39,520
and just needs roster needs. This
season, in two games, he's averaging

1122
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:43,079
thirteen minutes. Yeah, that might
be more where he is. And right

1123
01:16:43,119 --> 01:16:45,560
now he's getting the eighth most time
on ice out of the twelve forwards,

1124
01:16:45,680 --> 01:16:48,720
which is not very exciting and that
he may just be a drop when he

1125
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:53,920
gets the games played limit, but
interesting kind of that he is playing more

1126
01:16:53,960 --> 01:16:57,119
than Brendan Gallagher and Tanner Pearson,
so I don't know I would have expected

1127
01:16:57,159 --> 01:16:59,960
the opposite there, although Gallagher is
really at the tail end of his career.

1128
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:04,720
But yeah, Harvey Pinard someone who
is just basically a flex up and

1129
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:10,079
down kind of guy. I don't
think that he gets as many goals.

1130
01:17:10,199 --> 01:17:12,840
Fourteen goals is what he had last
season. I don't know that he may

1131
01:17:12,880 --> 01:17:15,960
not even get there this season in
a full season. He played thirty four

1132
01:17:15,119 --> 01:17:18,800
last year, so not super excited
about that one. But this next one

1133
01:17:20,119 --> 01:17:27,279
is someone who I think was intentional, and that is Darcy Kemper. Kemper

1134
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:31,800
just seemed like the perfect guy for
a zero G strategy this year, and

1135
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,840
that's why I ended up. I'm
pretty sure all maybe one of these.

1136
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:39,000
I think one of these Dynasty.
The rest are all redrafts, and that's

1137
01:17:39,039 --> 01:17:43,319
because I was waiting past round ten, usually eleven. I think I got

1138
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:46,199
Kemper in a couple of round twelves. So I would usually just round by

1139
01:17:46,279 --> 01:17:49,079
round, look at who's left,
and usually if they're five or six goalies

1140
01:17:49,159 --> 01:17:51,279
left that I would be fine with, I would just take a skater and

1141
01:17:51,359 --> 01:17:55,560
then eventually there'd be like just a
couple left, and it usually was like

1142
01:17:55,680 --> 01:17:59,800
Huso, Kemper, corpor Salo,
those kind of names, and I just

1143
01:18:00,479 --> 01:18:04,319
I do Kemper best of that kind
of group, because even though the capitals

1144
01:18:04,359 --> 01:18:10,520
shouldn't aren't necessarily going to be great, Kemper has someone who has consistently outperformed

1145
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:14,359
the protection in front of him,
and he's the volume guy. There is

1146
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,720
no real challenge there, and he's
gonna get plenty of time on ice,

1147
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:21,159
he's gonna get a good volume of
shots against, he's gonna save the vast

1148
01:18:21,239 --> 01:18:25,279
majority of them, and I think
he's just a solid option. So I

1149
01:18:25,399 --> 01:18:30,239
really like Kemper for the value that
he gets. And it was intentional in

1150
01:18:30,279 --> 01:18:33,399
me picking him up in multiple places, which isn't true for all of these

1151
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:38,359
guys. Some of them were just
happened to be on my dynasties already in

1152
01:18:38,479 --> 01:18:42,319
redrafts. Kemper was definitely not necessarily
a target, but he was the last

1153
01:18:42,359 --> 01:18:45,439
guy I was really happy to get
in that position, Jesse, what do

1154
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:50,880
you think about Kemper and Raphael Harvey
Pinard. Kemper is becoming just one of

1155
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:57,560
those solid starters. Do you remember
that it wasn't that long ago that he

1156
01:18:57,760 --> 01:19:02,239
was considered like this huge signing and
Stanley Cup type guy. He was on

1157
01:19:02,399 --> 01:19:08,279
the ice. He has missed the
season opener this year. Apparently his first

1158
01:19:08,399 --> 01:19:11,199
child was just born. That's why
Charlie Lingeran was starting the other night.

1159
01:19:11,279 --> 01:19:15,720
So if you were thinking Lingerin had
usurped him, you are incorrect about that.

1160
01:19:15,359 --> 01:19:19,000
And Rafiel Harvey Pinard, Victor,
I want to know how many You

1161
01:19:19,359 --> 01:19:23,640
probably can't quantify this, but I
wonder how many of these shares were ones

1162
01:19:23,720 --> 01:19:27,199
that you picked up in about a
two week stretch last year after he premiered

1163
01:19:27,439 --> 01:19:31,359
and started scoring all the goals for
Montreal for a month. Well, probably

1164
01:19:31,399 --> 01:19:34,600
all of them, Yeah, for
most of them, not a lot of

1165
01:19:34,680 --> 01:19:38,800
drafts. Probably a lot of like
right then, and then why not hold

1166
01:19:38,880 --> 01:19:44,479
on after somebody does something like that
exactly? Why not hold on? I'll

1167
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:48,399
give my last few here because they're
interesting or similar, and actually they're not

1168
01:19:48,479 --> 01:19:53,680
similar, they're diversity of sort of
players. The first one. These are

1169
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,760
all my last five share guys,
which are the main ones I'm gonna share

1170
01:19:56,840 --> 01:20:00,199
Connor Brown. It's the Connor.
I'm trying to get as many Connors i

1171
01:20:00,279 --> 01:20:02,079
can. I got two shares of
Connor McDavid. That was just happenstance.

1172
01:20:02,119 --> 01:20:06,720
I got six shares of Connor Bodard
as mentioned, and five shares of Connor

1173
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:11,239
Brown. This was definitely intentional though
I was looking towards the end of the

1174
01:20:11,319 --> 01:20:15,279
redraft. I don't think any of
these Connor Brown shares are in Dynasty.

1175
01:20:15,319 --> 01:20:17,479
They're all in Redraft or best Balls. And that's because towards the end you're

1176
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:21,159
looking do you want schedule? Do
you want high upside? And I just

1177
01:20:21,359 --> 01:20:25,960
figured that Connor Brown, even though
he hadn't done it much in the past,

1178
01:20:26,239 --> 01:20:30,640
but he's got really good opportunity now
playing with McDavid, and so far

1179
01:20:30,159 --> 01:20:34,960
the recent the recent the first couple
of games he's been playing Connor Brown with

1180
01:20:35,079 --> 01:20:39,920
dry Cydle Rnh McDavid or vander Kain. Those are good line mates. That's

1181
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:42,119
what you want to play with.
He's basically been a top six player.

1182
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,960
He doesn't have any points yet,
although Edmonton has not looked particularly good in

1183
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:48,159
the first couple of games, so
they have some put up some goals,

1184
01:20:48,239 --> 01:20:53,319
not not any that have involved Connor
Brown. But I do think he's probably

1185
01:20:53,319 --> 01:20:57,279
going to maintain that position. His
IPP is currently zero and his PDO is

1186
01:20:57,319 --> 01:21:01,600
six twenty five after two games,
so regression to the mean positively should be

1187
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:05,279
coming for Connor Brown. So anyways, I do still like that one and

1188
01:21:05,439 --> 01:21:09,800
hopefully he sticks. And if not, he was a whatever seventeenth round pick

1189
01:21:09,920 --> 01:21:13,000
or whatever, so I'll just drop
him. But yeah, I'm hoping that

1190
01:21:13,119 --> 01:21:16,560
Connor Brown works out. The next
one is Wya Kaiser, and Kaiser is

1191
01:21:16,600 --> 01:21:20,239
afenceman for the Chicago Blackhawks. And
this is all in dynasty formats. And

1192
01:21:20,319 --> 01:21:24,600
I've liked Kaiser for a bit now. He's looked really good in the NCAA.

1193
01:21:24,920 --> 01:21:30,640
His hockey prospecting shows a pretty steady
progression of a decent player. I

1194
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:33,359
don't know that he's going to be
the biggest point producer but he's already playing

1195
01:21:33,399 --> 01:21:38,840
second line minutes for the Blackhawks.
And I like what the Blackhawks are doing.

1196
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:42,840
They're playing all their young defensemen.
They have Alex Blasik, Whyita Kaiser,

1197
01:21:43,399 --> 01:21:46,079
and Kevin Korchinski, and they're pairing
each one of them with a righty

1198
01:21:46,439 --> 01:21:49,600
who is more veteran. And I
think that's really smart. So you play

1199
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:54,439
a young guy with a veteran spread
out the ice time, let him play.

1200
01:21:54,880 --> 01:21:57,479
I think it's going to be really
good for them. And I don't

1201
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:00,119
know that his upside is great for
Kaiser, but like that he's getting games,

1202
01:22:00,199 --> 01:22:04,079
and I like that he is.
I like that he's playing already,

1203
01:22:04,159 --> 01:22:08,399
and I'm not going to drop him
after his games played limit probably, but

1204
01:22:09,159 --> 01:22:12,600
he's not like a must hold kind
of guy. I'll probably just wait and

1205
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:17,439
see how he continues to progress.
And the last guy is of five shares

1206
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:23,479
is Tristan Bertucci, and this is
definitely someone who probably didn't get enough play

1207
01:22:23,680 --> 01:22:27,920
during the draft because there's so many
more exciting guys. But Bertucci is a

1208
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:30,479
six foot one hundred and eighty pounds
left handed d who plays for the Flint

1209
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:34,000
Firebirds. So far this season,
he's got zero points. In five games.

1210
01:22:34,039 --> 01:22:38,960
But that's partly a Flint problem and
not a Tristan Bertucci problem. But

1211
01:22:39,199 --> 01:22:43,479
he is someone who I think you
have to respect the Dallas draft picks.

1212
01:22:43,520 --> 01:22:46,600
They've just done so well in Maverick, Bork, Stankove, and White Johnston.

1213
01:22:47,399 --> 01:22:50,720
You've got your Jason Robertson's obviously you're
Rupa hints. Those guys are second

1214
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:56,119
round picks and they're superstars in the
NHL. And that's where Bertucci was picked

1215
01:22:56,119 --> 01:22:59,600
at the end of the second round, and he's got a twenty six percent

1216
01:22:59,680 --> 01:23:01,600
chance being start according to Hockey Prospecting. We'll see what he does this year.

1217
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:05,079
But this is just the more deep
cut of Yeah, I really like

1218
01:23:05,199 --> 01:23:10,199
him. I got him. He
was basically my second or my third round

1219
01:23:10,199 --> 01:23:13,279
pick usually in a ton of leagues, so I would get a draft pick

1220
01:23:13,359 --> 01:23:15,279
at the end, and he was
the last of the high upside guys that

1221
01:23:15,439 --> 01:23:17,520
was remaining, and so that's why
I ended up with lots of shares of

1222
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:21,000
Bertucci. So just mentioning that in
case he's available in your leagues, he

1223
01:23:21,119 --> 01:23:24,800
may be someone that's worth kind of
holding. We'll learn a lot more of

1224
01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:27,760
for this year and I can see, but what do you think about those

1225
01:23:27,800 --> 01:23:30,399
guys Jesse, Tristan Bertucci, Maybe
not too much to say Wyat Kaiser and

1226
01:23:30,479 --> 01:23:35,560
Connor Brown. Yeah, definitely.
This is actually this is probably the most

1227
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:41,760
practical part of the segment is these
are a couple of guys who when you

1228
01:23:41,880 --> 01:23:45,520
have to vote with your feet instead
of just talking about guys, obviously,

1229
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:51,840
these are for the value guys who
you kept finding yourself rostering, and that

1230
01:23:53,119 --> 01:23:56,840
is that is telling. When a
guy like Victor is rostering somebody a lot,

1231
01:23:57,119 --> 01:24:00,439
that probably is going to have some
value. So I don't have strong

1232
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:04,439
takes on any of them. I
think Connor Brown is who knows he's on

1233
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:08,560
that team, He's in that situation, so maybe there'll be something there.

1234
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:13,880
But definitely I'm going to have an
eye on Kaiser and Bertucci, Victor that

1235
01:24:14,159 --> 01:24:15,920
I think is the full gamut.
Do you have anything else you want to

1236
01:24:15,960 --> 01:24:19,640
talk about from Shares? Obviously there
are a bunch of four share guys which

1237
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:23,520
I don't want to go all through, but I just wanted to briefly mention

1238
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:26,960
the goalies. And because I do
a zero G strategy, I think it's

1239
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,640
interesting to see who you end up
with. I ended up with four shares

1240
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:33,000
of Aiden Hill, four shares of
Philip Grubauer, four shares of Akira Schmied

1241
01:24:33,119 --> 01:24:38,039
and Connor Ingram. So Hill,
Schmid, Ingram, and Grubauer were guys

1242
01:24:38,079 --> 01:24:41,640
that were available later that I thought
were good value. Hill and Grubauer are

1243
01:24:41,720 --> 01:24:45,319
more like your one G or maybe
two G, and Schmied and Ingram more

1244
01:24:45,399 --> 01:24:49,239
like your three G. And those
are more dynasty guys that you're happy to

1245
01:24:49,319 --> 01:24:53,720
squeeze in when you can. I'm
not rostering those guys in redraft leagues,

1246
01:24:53,760 --> 01:24:56,520
but it's interesting to see who you
end up with when you do that strategy.

1247
01:24:56,600 --> 01:25:00,640
So it is a lot of Kemper
Grubauer and Hill, and so far

1248
01:25:00,920 --> 01:25:04,159
the Gubriter shares don't look so good, but the Hill and the we don't

1249
01:25:04,159 --> 01:25:06,319
know about the Temper yet, but
I think those are going to be okay.

1250
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:10,640
But yeah, that's basically. There's
some more guys, but we don't

1251
01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:13,880
really have time to talk about them. And four shares isn't isn't as many

1252
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:15,439
as the other ones. But yeah, hopefully people found this interesting. Jesse,

1253
01:25:15,880 --> 01:25:20,039
Just remember people write it down.
Victor Nuno Aiden Hill believer, leader

1254
01:25:20,079 --> 01:25:24,239
of the Aiden Hill fan club,
who believes that Aiden Hill will hold the

1255
01:25:24,319 --> 01:25:28,000
net, probably win the Vesna for
Vegas. I'm sorry, Victor, I'm

1256
01:25:28,039 --> 01:25:33,760
teasing you because I know you have
warned people against getting too excited about Aiden

1257
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:40,399
Hill. Nonetheless, he's on what
is without debate and amazing team, and

1258
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:44,279
he seems to be holding down the
net, and he's got a he's got

1259
01:25:44,319 --> 01:25:46,319
his name etched on a cup somewhere, and I'm a big fan of a

1260
01:25:46,399 --> 01:25:49,960
cure Shmi, just like you,
Victor. I think that's going to do

1261
01:25:50,039 --> 01:25:54,359
it for our shares. Hopefully people
did get something out of this. Will

1262
01:25:54,399 --> 01:26:08,159
be right back in a minute.
He close up the show. A couple

1263
01:26:08,239 --> 01:26:11,199
of things to mention before we get
out of here today. One of them

1264
01:26:11,319 --> 01:26:15,600
is our show is brought to you
by fan tracks. You should play your

1265
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:17,960
leagues on fan tracks. You can
ask them, they'll move them over for

1266
01:26:18,079 --> 01:26:20,760
you. I don't care that the
season starts. There's still time to start

1267
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:27,199
your hockey leagues. One more chance
to get in there, or you could,

1268
01:26:27,760 --> 01:26:29,920
you know, probably just set your
lineups and the ones that you have.

1269
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:33,279
If you're going to play other sports. There's lots of options for scoring

1270
01:26:33,399 --> 01:26:38,800
salaries, contracts, customizing your rookie
eligibility Hey, here you go play some

1271
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:42,800
basketball. Basketball is about to start. I'm doing some basketball too. They

1272
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:45,319
even have a good chat feature.
Some other platforms are kind of pulling that

1273
01:26:45,439 --> 01:26:49,159
back. You can propose a trade
now and have a little chat going back

1274
01:26:49,199 --> 01:26:54,800
and forth. No more emails,
No more weird email comments on your trades

1275
01:26:55,000 --> 01:27:00,479
that people can't respond to and sometimes
end up accidentally showing up in the accepted

1276
01:27:00,560 --> 01:27:05,039
trades. We'd like to thank our
entire Fahl crew. There's a lot of

hearing from him sometime soon, but you've

1285
01:27:40,720 --> 01:27:45,079
definitely heard his scouting reports on here
and he kind of helps wrangle all the

1286
01:27:45,199 --> 01:27:48,479
reports we get. He got Jason
who's helping out with our prospect ranks.

1287
