What do you want for malkin?

Guys I have a "problem" in my keeper league, but it's a good problem to have.

The rules have been changed from 11 keepers down to 8. My team is completely stacked. I was wondering who you would keep if you were me, out of my roster. I am still trying to swing a huge trade, but no luck so far. Standard 3 C/LW/RW, 4D, 2G start.

I offered Ward, Hossa and Doughty for Ovechkin and the guy said no. (He told me he wanted a top goalie, top forward and good D man) Wondering if I should try and get a better LW like Kovalchuk and offer Ward and Hossa, because that guy needs goaltending. But then I would still be over the keeper limit...I really need to do a 3 for 1 trade, but it's tough.

Or do I just keep my roster as is for the playoff run, win the league, and reevaluate at the draft, and maybe I can get a similar good player in the first round?

...and so my annual late-season fantasy hockey team swoon started.

Joe5.0

I started out TERRIBLE, but I have started to rebound a little. I just wanna be close to the 6 spot so I can sneak in the playoffs.

herbalist

I hit a bit of a rough patch in the past few weeks but luckily I am facing a weak opponent this week to help me rebound.

Joe5.0

Well looks liek I did what I hoped to do, sneak in the 6th spot to make the playoffs. Some of my mid season pickups (Stamkos, Howard) really have carried me lately. Maybe I can make some noise in the playoffs.

wstevens

Pretty boring league this year for some reason. No drama.

Yumcha

wstevens

it wasn't just that it was Yummy-less. Not a single trade this year (though I tried). And a lot of deadbeats.

Yumcha

^ More "doms"...?

Rounder

shaping up to be an interesting two weeks. I set my own destiny of a top 2 seed as well, as I play clean hits this week for a battle of 1 vs 2 and then the current 3rd place team for the final week.

and joe, you can thank me for that playoff spot, I lost last week to you badly

Joe5.0

You didnt lose to me, I beat you. Big difference.

But yeah, that was huge for me this late in the year.

Rounder

hehe.......

Playoffs start this week!

after a strong start to the year, my teams limps into the playoffs. Ovie better come through

Joe5.0

Yep, I finished STRONG to take the 6th spot.

Since week 15 I am 72-23

Rounder

First place and a first round bye.

herbalist

Bye week.

Has everyone paid?

wstevens

Crap I lost my bye-week on 2 shitty weeks in a row. Luongo is a douche!

Yumcha

I wish I took Bryzgalov.

Stupid Louuu...and stupid Miller...where are my shutouts!??

SG81

iTrader: (1)

i have Bryzgalov and Ryan Miller. they saved my team

Joe5.0

Well I auto drafted and got Osgood, so no sympathy here.

Joe5.0

First week of the playoffs and SG81 is getting SMOKED (so far), and I'm up 8-3 against 'Clean Hits'.

I'm pretty sure I can finish the week ahead and move on to the next round.

SG81

iTrader: (1)

how that hell is it thursday and my team doesn't have a freakin goal yet! WTF

wstevens

Yeah, my team (Clean Hits) is sucking asshole for the 3rd week in a row.

I've never wanted Sidney Crosby to get a hat trick before, but now I'm praying for it.

Rounder

:sitsbackandwaitsfor2ndround:

Joe5.0

I was up big on Clean Hits, but he had a big day so its tightened up. My goalies have been stellar this week.

Jonesi

Unless you can pull off a miracle I'd say he has it wrapped up. He's got too many players today. Although, he missed that shutout last night

Joe5.0

Yeah I agree, missing that SO was big.

wstevens

Well, it doesn't get much closer than that. I think I win on most points tie breaker. Unless stats are incorrect and are corrected tomorrow.

Joe5.0

Jesus Christ Theodore screwed me. If he would have had a normal amount of saves I would have squeaked it out.

I think playoffs tiebreaker is season matchup, which we were even, then overall record, which you were better, so I think you win.

Good matchup for sure.. Was fun to watch.. I know last year and years previous playoff tiebreakers were points then goals.. Not sure why it changed this year..

wstevens

Wow I didn't even see the special playoff tie breaker. That really was close seeing as I beat you 8-4 once and you beat me 8-4 once during the regular season.

I hope the stats aren't adjusted tomorrow

wstevens

Oh and fuck LeftWingLock.com for telling me Raask was starting Saturday

herbalist

Joe5.0

Yeah that was crazy we tied in the reg season too.

I still cant believe Theodore only got 7 saves though, what BS. I would have beat you 7-6 if he would have a regular game.
