GDT Week 5

[Shoalzie]

So, we're basically a month in...any early surprise(s) and disappointment(s) from your team?

[Shoalzie]

I'd say Vince Dunn being my top performer on defense is an early surprise. Kevin Hayes has done well when he's been the Flyers' #1 center by default.

A disappointment has been to not having Atkinson in action. It's not clear what his injury is that's keeping him out. Talbot is back so I'll be eager to see how does with his new team. I was hoping to see more games for Coghlan but Carolina has a crowded blue line and they've already moved out Ethan Bear. There's nobody I'd put in the underperforming (offensively) category...guys are at or slightly above what I expected.

Montour has been awesome in ekblad’s abscence. And has taken up a lot of weegar’s load - Maurice seems to love him.

Happy to see Toews bounce back. Provided he doesn’t retire after this year, should be a nice piece on a good contract for a few more years.

Hamilton, Debrusk and Burakovsky all also having solid starts.

Otherwise, Copp is having a slower start offensively than I was expecting. Slavin and Trouba as well are off their expected paces but can’t really complain!

[KapG]

Lots of guys having solid seasons but this year is all about the Rasmus Dahlin show for the BBKL Rangers

I've got him in another league...I see Ekblad is coming back by this weekend. I thought he was out for a while.

Nichushkin exploded into the year.
Faulk at point per game works for me.

Thought Jordan Staals offense might shoot up with trocheck gone but it hasn't so far.

No long-term injuries to waiver eligible skaters is my biggest let down so far since it would help me fit seider/swayman into the lineup.

Well, I see Nichushkin out for a month...

Well fuck a duck

Not the guy I wanted going to LTIR but this certainly makes my team more adjustable (for next week)

Oh and maybe my biggest surprise is xhekaj ( pronounced Jack eye) who I didn't think even had a chance to make Montreal for a few years, and is now getting power play time and is the 36th ranked fantrax dman.

[hong57]

not a big surprise to me but surprise to most is vilardi.. i am also not surprised by JT's consistant performance.. happy for samsonov too

disappointment
lindholm's slow start.
guronov v slow start.. hayton v slow start.. a bit on chabot too..

Dunno how I'm losing to this one

[KapG]

Scoring seems fucked up on fantrax atm

The full numbers? I feel like the counts are right. Just not showing WLT

[Shoalzie]

Anything specific?

Yah the stats for every category seem right but it’s not adding them up correct. I should be beating Philadelphia like 9-5-2 or something

[KapG]

Anything specific?

It’s not adding up the categories properly. The stats are correct but for win loss tie it’s wrong

[Shoalzie]

Yeah, I see some odd results on the live scoring. Arizona vs. Winnipeg is 4.5-3 but on the standings page, it's showing 10-6 Winnipeg.

While it's annoying, I don't think they'll record it wrong when the week is complete.

[Matthew]

Sergachev to PP1
Hedman to PP2
