I don't even have my 1st round pick, and I've been holding off on making trades to keep the pick out of the basement... My team is just too poor

Let’s hope you have a big final two weeks lol.

At least i should finish bottom 3...

I just want one of dahlin/svetch/zadina (would be ok with one of those other defense like Boqvist or w.e his name is as a last resort I guess...)

[Shoalzie]

Early lock today...game at 1 due to the holiday.

[Handsome&FairMike]

Ya Paul may catch me with all the injuries

[Matthew]

Would this be GM Carolina Pauls 1st Playoff appearance?

[Shoalzie]

Paul is on a nice run right now. Just between he and Mike for the M3 spot because the Atlantic spots are sewn up.

Mike (TOR) and Matt are battling for 1st in the Atlantic. I think Jimmy and Chris are the two wild cards unless something weird happens.

Even with a healthy Nugent-Hopkins and if I had Smith last week...there was no way I track down Chris for the WC2. Offense was really good this past week so some positives.

Nice battle between Vegas, Edmonton and Anaheim for P3 and WC2.

The top of the Central has been a great 3-way tilt all season long.

[Bruyns]

Early lock today...game at 1 due to the holiday.

Shitty, didn't realize and now I have Lazar in for Mackinnon

[lightupdadarkness]

Presidents race gonna come down to who’s playing all these blatant tanking teams kinda sad oh well

Probably wouldn't be so many tanking teams if there weren't so many stacked teams.

[lightupdadarkness]

Think you missed the blantant part

[Da_Hawks]

Think you missed the blantant part

Nope, I saw it. Hard for most teams to compete with the talent that the top of the league has.

Kudos for those teams in building up those elite franchises though. Either very impressive, or they fleeced ALOT of GMs on the way to the top.
