Hey everyone! So, this week decided that I couldn't win my league,so went balls out to retool for next year/future.

What area(s) would you try and upgrade first?

This is a keep 8-4-1-1 league, ten round draft.

G- 2pts, dg-2pts, shg 2pts, A- 1pt,gwg- 2pts, pppts- 1pt
Win- 4pt, SO- 6pt

Stamkos, tavares, hall, ericksson, stastny, Purcell, s.gagner, Brière, grabo, havlat, vrbata, Whitney,hornqvist, grabner (bn) m.johansson (ir)

OEL, subban, Myers, Eliot, seabrook, timonen, Orlov (bn)

Quick, crawford, neuvirth (bn)

Thanks in advance

How many teams are in your league? Not sure how you can decide that you can't compete this year when the puck hasn't even dropped. Tbh, your team seems very close. I'd say ur goalies are a bit weak after quick but with no peripherals to worry about crawford will do well on a competitive hawks team...considering the weighting on offensive d I'd try to upgrade there first.

Forgot to add thé teams in post. Its a 12 team league.

There are a few "stacked" teams and I could've finished 3-4 w my team. So should I somehow finish 4th at least I'll do it w stammer and jt.

A few teams are veteran laden, so a bit of stragedy is also in play.

Why re-tool? Just keep improving your team. If some teams are stacked then it's up to you to put in the work and get to their level. If you do a massive re-tool you will face the same struggles later.

I am always trying to improve! This is my 3rd season. 1st year was exp, 2nd year i fell just short. And i made the call that i couldn't win this league w the players i had.

Its a hard league to trade in as alot of teams went "young" and a few went for lack of a better word "old".

But very few are balanced. I.e, all fwd, no dee or all dee and decent fwds.

My goal is to be balanced, w stammer jt and hall being my anchors.

i have to ride it out and be patient. (patience has been my Achilles heel At times)

but my retooling is complete. Now the task is to get more balanced.

You should just keep upgrading talent. It doesn't happen overnight, but time is on your side. A year is a long time in fantasy hockey and there are options that will create themselves along the way. You just have to be ready to strike.

I've been following this exact method for more than a decade and turned all of my teams into contenders by having a consistent obsession for championships and by taking advantage of others shifting direction and sometimes selling players for less than their true value. I simply hate to lose so I will do whatever it takes to avoid it
