I dont give discounts, nor to I oversell; fair prices all the time!

If your players suck so much there should be a discount though!

Yup, i'd actually put him tops in the West tbh, followed closely by Kareem,,,,then i'd fall around 3rd

I still put you first in the west. My Dcore is lacking and I will not be a very strong team on the perif side yet. I personally dont feel I am top three yet.

KapG wroteCOLONSteve is just doing what Steve does ...making it seem like his team is not as good as it really is. I don't think Vancouver forwards even match up with LA. So I don't know how Steve could put Vancouver ahead of him.


So as not to get in an argument with anyone about anything, this is not a slight on Vancouver. The team is far better than it was and is clearly a playoff contender. I just don't see it as a top 2 in the west.

I think the two forwards units are pretty similar, it seems to me that I have the stronger top end, but weaker depth.

Vancouver

Ryan Kesler
Patrick Kane
Marian Hossa
Ryan Malone
Ryane Clowe
Ryan Strome
Brandon Sutter
Ray Whitney
Nick Foligno
Jack Skille
Colby Armstrong
Colton Gillies

Los Angeles

Nicklas Backstrom
Zach Parise
Mike Richards
Brayden Schenn
Ryan O'Reilly
Milan Michalek
James van Riemsdyk
Nikolai Kulemin
Curtis Glencross
Valteri Filpulla
Nazem Kadri
Ryan Jones

Beasts.

Fuck I'm slacking.

Am I the only one who thinks Colorado is the best team in the Western Conference? The Avalanche have no holes... Elite forward core and blueline, with depth, and The King in goal.

Iunno, I don't think he is the best, top 4 though. I like Couturier, Eriksson, Perry, Chara, hopkins and I guess yandle. Not a fan of the other pieces on that team. Some good perioh dmen though I guess

KapG wroteCOLONIunno, I don't think he is the best, top 5 though.

I also don't know why the Colorado GM is considered to be such an elite one. Has he done anything to deserve such praise? (yes, there are people who think he is in the elite category)

He was solid in SJ before he left. Just hasn't been as active since med school.

yah I deleted that part of my post cause I didn't wanna start any conflicts LOL.

I just think he is a bit overrated. Been impossible to get a hold of since I've been in the league (3 years now I think). Maybe that affects my thinking, although I do tend to not care too much because I know he is doing the medschool thing, definitely limited time for BBKL I would think) . Oh, I never liked that sharks team that much either.

I tihnk you own the two best H2H players out of those rosters. I just see more fire power across the board on Steves squad.

so wheres shiv with teh power rankings

shivs aren't even power rankings. They are rankings for teams that are going to be in the playoffs in his opinion.

In true power rankings just because one team in one conference isn't a playoff contender doesn't mean they should be ranked below a team in the other conference just because they may make the playoffs (yet are clearly a worse team)

They are still fun to read though

I agree, he has the better overall depth, and I have the better top end. FWIW I agree that Steve has a better team, but the big difference for me is on the d-core, not up front.

bills09 wroteCOLONso wheres shiv with teh power rankings

I think it would be interesting to have separate power rankings for the Eastern and Western Conference. It's difficult to rank the two conferences together because of the fact that the East and West rarely play one another during the regulaur season, and only once in the playoffs.

You know what? I retract this statement

H2H-wise, your forwards are quite lacking in terms of what a stanley cup calibre contending team should comprise of. You got tons of elite/high tier scoring going though, but as Kareem said, I couldn't agree more: After nearly two years of my BBKL tenureship, I realize how important ur d-men are, as they are the ones you rely on for the bulk of your periph stats, and while having high scoring d-men might be kool, loading up ur forwards for scoring, and completing ur d-core with heavy heavy SHTOI-receiving/hitting/PIM-ing/BS-ing d-men are what gives u that edge on that very very close 8-7-1/7-7-2 matchup going into Sunday on a weekly basis. That's why if you have elite scoring fwds and limited periph fwd goons, you can still expect consistent scoring during the week and that's something you just expect to follow through. I'm excluding goalie stats in comparison because they can be so random.

I think I've solved this one. Solution: make Jonathan Quick your goalie.
