Is a guy who can't even decide wtf he wants to do somebody you want to invest a draft pick in? Maybe if he lasts through to deeper rounds but I would steer clear of drafting him where you normally would assuming he were to play the full season, but that's just me, I completely shit the bed at my own draft.

yeah... how often is it that someone openly talks about considering retirement, and then not only doesn't retire, but plays a full season as effectively as he had in the past?
Buff was trending down as an impact player already, and has struggled with injuries. He'd have been overrated even before this. I'm not saying he's totally undraftable at this point, it'd be worth throwing a flyer on him super late if he's still around, but based on his pre-season rankings, he won't be. Someone else who isn't paying close attention is going to take him way too early. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - https://imgur.com/W66HUUy http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ ...

I need everyones opinion who does NHL Fantasy. My main league is a family & friends one we have been doing for years. Its categories again this year and i can never decide how many goalies to draft (2 or 3)
8 people Standard positions: C, C, LW, LW, RW, RW, D, D, D, D, G, G, BN, BN, BN, BN, Categories: Forwards/Defensemen Stat Categories:Goals, Assists, Plus/Minus , Penalty Minutes , Powerplay Points , Shots on Goal , Hits Goaltenders Stat Categories: Wins (W), Goals Against (GA), Saves (SV), Shutouts (SHO) Minimum 3 starts per week ! Also important we can only drop/add players 12 times the entire season so I cant just stream backups every week So as you can see we dont do save % but rather just saves. So this changes the strategy here slightly. I've wavered I usually have 3 goalies. We have a few people who ride with 2 and one guy with 4 usually. So this year I'm debating going 2 only. 3 goalies never seemed to help me. Goals against was always losing category for me vs someone with 2. Shut outside are rare and you cant ever count on them. Wins was debatable having a 3rd goalie as it's generally a backup & saves was the only easy one to almost guaranteed win since youd generally always accumulate more saves. Being that theres only 8 of us there's always some halfway decent goalies left Incase of injury. I've just never done the 2 goalie set up before I always felt it was safest with 3. Also not related but it's always been a league with Hits and this adds some decent strategy I advise everyone to add this category >_> ... Copied to Clipboard!

Minimum 3 starts per week ! Yikes at this combo. Interesting that you guys can make this work though. I've always found goalies to be a crapshoot and usually end up with less than stellar goaltending on my teams even when I draft one early. With limited pickups though I'd probably roll with 3 goalies even if I'm not confident in any of them. If I decided to go with 2 I'd definitely be targeting goalies early to make sure those categories are good to go. Heck, whether going with 2 or 3, I'd probably be targeting 2 goalies early since an 8 person league should leave plenty of valuable players around for later in the draft LadyVyxx posted... Also not related but it's always been a league with Hits and this adds some decent strategy I advise everyone to add this category >_> It's even better when you add ATOI so that you can't just pick up some 4th line scrub who plays like 5 minutes a game just to hit people and take penalties! We also have Blocks as a category which makes defensmen a little more valuable as well. Some of the more valuable players in our league are like less than 5% owned in most leagues lol ...

Honestly I know this probably makes it more complicated, but whether you take 2 or 3 goalies in that situation probably depends on what goalies you have.
If you reach for them early and get two really good ones you're fine. Otherwise concentrate on skaters early and get 3 towards the end. --- SmartMuffin - Because anything less would be uncivilized - https://imgur.com/W66HUUy http://dudewheresmyfreedom.com/ ... Copied to Clipboard!

LadyVyxx posted...Minimum 3 starts per week ! Thanks for the input everyone. I guess the brightside of having only 12 drop and pickups in an 8 man league is that theres generally some decent players left if youre desperate at some point. IR allowing a "free" pick up for the duration of IR also helps. League owner is debating changing it from 12 to 15 so that helps. In previous years I've reached or taken good goalies early like Vaslevsky or Bishop but it never seemed to get me very far. So i ended up with 2 goalies Anyways this is how it worked out. I picked 7th. C - Sidney Crosby C - Austin Matthews LW - Taylor Hall LW - Filip Forsberg RW - Blake Wheeler RW - Vladimir Tarasenko D - Kris Letang D - John Carlson D - Dougie Hamilton D - Rasmus Dahlin G - John Gibson G - Petr Mrazek Bench - C - Mika Zibanejab Bench - RW - Phil Kessel Bench - LW - Anders Lee Bench - D - Dustin Byfuglien Ya I know Byfuglien but it was literally my last pick so I felt it worth the risk. I also took one or two dudes who were better for Penalty Minutes or Hits vs actual Goals or assists seeing as every category carries equal weight in the end. We shall see. If byfuglien news comes out that hes retiring I'll drop him and pick up a 3rd goalie like Raanta or Kuemper ... Copied to Clipboard!

And the only replacement for all that is, like... Gustav Nyquist? So, hard to see how they'll do any better than last year when they went all-in, but there isn't really a clear favourite in the Metropolitan division so anything's possible. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Also, this isn't a new thought from me, but Fuck Mike Babcock. Seriously. He should have been gone after the first Bruins loss and definitely at the end of last year.
Dubas traded or got rid of all his guys so he had no choice but to start the better players and give them the minutes, and so of course for no fucking reason he decides to bench the hometown Spezza on opening night for literal Nick Shore.
