I know that I am light on offense and heavy on D and G.
Besides that, how does my team look?
See signature.
Thanks.

Love it. Heavy on D and G is probably preferred. Would need to know how many teams in your league to say for sure, but nice mix of rookies and proven

How are the points structured? And is this a one-year or keeper league? Just wondering because you have Galchenyuk and I'm wondering if you're hoping that he plays in the big leagues this year or if it was posted in the wrong forum.

I really like your goaltending. Great trio to have.

Thanks guys. It means alot coming from two highly respected guys like you two.

One year H2H 10 team league.
Scoring stats
F/D: goals, assists, +/-, PIM, PPP, SHP, GWG, and SOG
G: wins, GAA, Saves, Save %, Shutouts.

Like I said, maybe light on offense. I figure by taking some high reward and high risk players I can drop or trade them if they do not pan out this season. The players taken in later rounds by other teams, I can easily get comps for in the free agent market.

With goaltending categories representing almost 40% if your categories, solid job going deep with goalies.

Your forwards are a little on the weaker side for a 10 team league but that was to be expected given your great depth at goalies and defense.

I would try to use some of your depth and strengths to address some high-end forwards if you can swing it.

I may be in the minority but I think you are going to struggle this year. You may win 4 out 5 of your goaltending cats every week but those 8 offensive cats are going to be really hard for you to win. Offense wins in H2H and you just dont have the fire power. I would try trading 2 of your dmen to get a couple of 70pt forwards.

I think this is the best summary of the team to this point.

re: Forwards
Simply not strong enough. There's a big drop-off in talent after the top 4 (Tavares, Seguin, J.Thornton, Eriksson). I see this team struggling big time in G, GWG, SOG. You need to start 9F and you've got 4F that I'd identify as VERY GOOD or better. I've got serious doubts that J-Williams, Vrbata, and Ryder will come anywhere close to repeating their years.

re: Defensemen
Overstocked. And as Derek Reese says, hopefully you can trade these guys. You've got possibly 6D that I'd consider as VERY GOOD... but you've only got 4D spots to fill. So it's overkill. If you can move them, great - but as pure balance goes, should've gone after more forwards.

re: Goalies
A+. In most H2H leagues, I don't advocate going after so many solid goalies... but as soon as you throw in a category like SAVES, well, that's a category you can count on every week, so I like that you have 3 #1 workhorse goalies.

Overall, I think this is a 3rd-5th best team in a 10-team league. If you can move a couple D-men for upgrades at forwards (which you NEED to do, at some point), then you could flip this into a top 3 team.

In a 10 team league (I looked everywhere for that information but didn't see it, as I noted in my first post - but looking now, a third time, I found it! lol) yes you're in trouble up front. Vrbata and Ryder are going to freefall and I wouldn't expect much from Galchenyuk in Year 1.
Tavares will be huge, I think people underestimate that, and with Green you will always have that massive upside. Versteeg is also going to be underrated, and Eriksson is steady. But you can't compete with the guys who have Crosby, Malkin, Ovechkin, or Stamkos because I'm sure the rest of their team has nice supplemental depth.

I would package Seguin and Marchand - you could make a killing off of those two. Then I would shop Thornton. The goal is to take those three players and turn them into four 72-point guys (or thereabouts).

Ryder and Vrbata are untradeable, so don't bother. It doesn't take a genius to know where they're going, and everyone is thinking the same thing.


Your team isn't that bad, as Reese opines. Winning 4 goalie cats and finishing 5th in 8 scoring cats is enough to get you in the Top 3.
