Hell yah! Early draftking showdowns baby! Love it!

Happy MLK day to all you Americans !

Wrt this week in the BBKL, well, hopefully the rangers can get a good chunk of GP in there. Hopefully I can catch another ass whooping across the board too. Really need to stay in the bottom 5! The prospects are developing nicely in the minors. So far it’s been a good season

[Shep]

woooo

[KapG]

woooo

So are you more of a classic game player on draftkings? I suck at classics I find. Have waaaaaaaay more success playing showdowns. Get more enjoyment out of the showdowns too since I can focus on one game at a time.

[KapG]

Soooooooo the Rangers are definitely not having a nice week when looking at the bigger picture for this season. Gonna need Dallas and Edmonton to do something. Same with Carolina. Really can’t afford a 14-1 win at this point. That being said I think my team is a bit better than my record says. Could see myself climbing the standings a bit here the last half of this season which wouldn’t be ideal. Really hoping for one last top 5 pick this year. With some of the youngsters I’ll be adding to the roster next year full time (Byfield, Boldy, Pelletier, Merkley, PIerre-Olivier Joseph, Power, Pinto) this could be my last chance at a real good lottery pick.

Crazy how early the NHL EAST top 8 is pretty definitively set. WEST has a solid top 5, then it's pretty wide open.

Nah, they would all be exempt. Just keep adding shitty roster players to the team to keep them down in the minors. Kinda like Kyuss does. He never wins and always gets top picks, so it works for him.

We’ll, I don’t want to waste assets adding shitty players but the potential for keeping all my current shitty players is not a bad idea for st least one more year. Let those youngsters marinate

Now you`re thinking like a true rebuilder!

[Da_Hawks]

Google docs won`t show a proper line-up because Max Willman is listed as center, but is a winger in Fantrax.

Yah finally embraces it fully a year and a half ago I guess. Have accumulated some decent assets so far.

Good news for the GP-hungry teams...games are getting scheduled over the dates during the Olympic break.

Skinner having a career revival this year

[Shoalzie]

The Sabres are still a bottom 5 team but they must be doing something right where Tage Thompson has broke out this year, Dahlin has had a bounce back season, Skinner is back to being a goal scorer and even Kyle Okposo is on pace to put the most points he's had in the last four seasons. Tuch has 10 points in 9 games.

[KapG]

Skinner and Dahlin bouncing back after last seasons disasters is no surprise. Ralph Kruger is a bum. For skinner, you’re paying him to score goals. He’s a small soft offensive only player and you’re going to banish him to the 3rd/4th line from the get go to play a grinder role? No wonder he was such trash last season. Fucking idiot lol! With Dahlin, he tried to neuter his offensive game/instincts and turn him into some defense first plsyer. It’s dumb, that’s not his game. Give the kid some freedom and some rope to make mistakes and look what you get. Dahlin looked like a new player the moment Kruger got sacked last season. Good on Granato for putting these players in roles that suit their games. Good for letting Dahlin play through his brain farts too

[KapG]

Wasn’t the week I wanted to have at this point in the season. Made up a lot of ground on some of the teams around me in the lottery race. Not ideal. Was hoping to not see these types of performances until next season lol

Him and duchene both.

Skinner only cost me a 3rd + 6th too.

[kyuss]

was hoping Georgiev would play the 2nd leg of the b2b vs ARZ, not the 1st in Carolina. that was costly but still 4W after all
