GDT - Week 12

[Matthew]

This season has been the closest at the top of the league since I joined way back in 2013. Where most years we see at most 2 or 3 teams still realistically fighting for that top spot this late in the season, this year there could still be as many as TEN teams that could make a push in the last half of the year and take down that big ol' BBKL Presidents Trophy. We've seen many of the over-abundance of rebuilders turn a corner in the past year or two and become top teams, making the league more competitive.

Here is a look at the Top 16 teams:

1) Dallas - 463
2) Buffalo - 448
3) Philadelphia - 443.5
4) Vancouver - 441.5
5) Anaheim - 426.5
6) Minnesota - 412
7) Edmonton - 409.5
8) Nashville - 407
9) Colorado - 406.5
10) Toronto - 406
11) Calgary - 390.5
12) Pittsburgh - 390.5
13) Washington - 371.5
14) Florida - 371.5
15) New Jersey - 361
16) Tampa Bay - 358
------------------------------------------------------------------
BBKL has a group of 5 teams extremely close to the Top 16 that could easily sneak into the playoffs with just a couple tweaks or returning injured players!
17) Los Angeles - 356
18) Ottawa - 354.5
19) Seattle - 339
20) Arizona - 334.5
21) St Louis - 332.5
The Next 3 teams still have a shot, but will likely need to make the decision whether to make a big run for the playoffs which may mean making a sexy acquisition... or making the difficult decision to call this year a rebuild and shedding a few guys for futures!
22) Columbus - 296.5
23) San Jose - 296.5
24) Montreal - 287.5
These teams are all officially rebuilding and what a race it will be to grab one of those great young players at the top of this years deep draft...which includes a number of centermen. Shane Wright, Brad Lambert, Matthew Savoie, Logan Cooley, Seamus Casey, Juraj Slafkovsky, Conor Geekie, Joakim Kemell...There's enough for everybody!
25) Detroit - 257
26) Boston - 232
27) Carolina - 230.5
28) Winnipeg - 210
29) New York R. - 196.5
30) Vegas - 186.5
31) New York I. - 183
32) Chicago - 169

Happy New Years! Goodluck this week Boys!

Remember to watch your skater gp minimums and goalie gp max/mins.

why listing PtsF rather than Points though?

PtsF represents category wins of 1 point and ties of 1/2 point. Easier for people to understand how well they need to do in matchups to catch guys.

I really wanted to see more of the junior tournament to get to know some of the other top prospects. I'm not going to pretend to know who my targets are today...I'm hoping to find two good players with my 1st round picks this spring. Plenty of time to do research between now and then.

Shit, forgot to change my lineup for today. Having the day off fucked me up.

Congrats on me benching Landeskog.

Somehow Georgiev awarded 2W and 2 GS on Fantrax from tonight's game

[Shoalzie]

Yup, it looks like the stats are doubled again.

Makar's OT goal was sick

Happy with the week although I didn't move up in the standings. Beat a few good teams.

That's what happens when rantanen gets 7 points in the week.

Don't think I've ever had someone go off like that

I’m sure you have. 7 in a week is great and doesn’t happen all the time but it’s not so rare. That said, yes, he’s been most of the teams offence haha

that was quite a week for my Preds, led the league in multiple cats and was even top 3 for PIMs and Hits. Finally had tons of games played after weeks where I was short vs my opponents
