Great vid, great format

[@theohoppe5581]

Is it time to drop laferiere on the kings in a competitive league?

[@bigguy423]

Also hesitating

[@firedupfantasy]

really depends on league size and who's the next best on the wire but yes his stock has gone down considerably. not pp1 and unsustainable numbers. wouldn't mind cutting him loose in a lot of leagues

[@theohoppe5581]

@ thanks for the reply man, it’s a points only league G/A. 10 man league, the waiver is mostly second PP guys as well, Lundell and bunting are the best options I’m seeing

[@firedupfantasy]

@@theohoppe5581 10 man league and those are the best options? damn how many roster spots do y'all have lol. could dropping laferriere be used as a streaming spot potentially? don't think bunting or lundell are going to be a significant improvement over laferriere

[@theohoppe5581]

@ That is great advice thanks, 23 roster spots so the waiver is just ugly. I guess the question becomes is his upside big enough to not drop him for a stream player. Other options are like Zary, Coronato, Schenn, Nazar, Bert, Couturier and the jets third line.

[@haydencrackel]

In a points league, do we think Shesterkin or Hyman has more value? Looking to trade one away, have gust and demko as goalies already.

[@MrsBlaileen1]

What do you think it would take to land Otter in a trade? My goalie room is dreadful.

[@millionfish]

Conflicted on which guy to pickup. It's between Stankoven, Matt Roy, Raddysh. I have already picked up Dubois. H2H, G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM 12 team,

[@dallasbarrigar]

I always look forward to these videos every week. They have helped me so much this season. I don’t know much about hockey or fantasy hockey. I’m currently 6-3, and goalies have been my biggest struggle. I lost this current week because I sat someone when because I thought they’d have a bad match up. Any recommendations on how to make better judgment calls on start/sits?

[@firedupfantasy]

thanks and that's a pretty broad question. start/sits I tend to look at matchups and base them off that. but sometimes you can make the most logical decision but still get burnt, it's the way the cookie crumbles.

[@dallasbarrigar]

Thanks for the reply. I know, it is a pretty broad ask. And they’re isn’t a perfect answer. I have Wolf, Vasilievsky and Kuemper starting tonight, and based on lineup experts website, they all seem like good starts.

[@jamesreacts6249]

Have josi on IR who’s coming back soon and wondering who to drop. Options are kochetkov, Blackwood, keumper, nitutskin,Meier,gositphere, and nugent Hopkins. I was thinking nituckin but not sure.

[@firedupfantasy]

do you need 3 goalies? and you mentioned gositsbehere, do you have 4 other defensemen? What are your league scoring values? Tbh it's hard to answer these questions without way more info

[@jamesreacts6249]

It’s a catorgorie league that favours goalies heavily. I have 5 defenceman including gossip here aswell.

[@codybaley6266]

I've been holding on to Stammer all season and I think I'm ready to drop. He was already a PP merchant last year and just hasn't gotten going in a third of the season this year. My only fear is him turning it on second half like last year Ovi style, but he's no Ovi.

[@epicgamer8883]

Any suggestions on what to with Bob in net keep drop/replacement suggestions

[@firedupfantasy]

still the starter on a great team. i'd hold for now unless there are better options on the wire. without knowing those options i can't help ya

[@lauriestevecameron9147]

What would be a fair trade for NYI D Dobson in a points league? Looking for a LW or RW.

[@nickmeyer5329]

Who would you drop Sorokin, Binnington, or Kochetkov for Blackwood? 10 team league only goalie points at W, GAA, SAV %

[@chucker625]

My current G are Shesty, Marky Mark and Mac Black.... What the odds Mac Black takes the starter role in COL outright? If he does, I would deal one of the other two for scoring depth at C... H2H cats league. Goalie stats are GAA, Sv% and W.... Could I get more than a bag of pucks for Shesty right now?

[@Cooliorodriguez94]

I gotta find a way to ship Kreider out. Who would be a good trade target? G: 5 A: 3 ppp: 0.5 Was thinking maybe Lafreniere?

[@firedupfantasy]

obviously the rangers are a mess rn but kreider is pp1 and laf is not. as of now he has more value than laf. maybe laf gets on that top unit at some point but i don't know if that will happen.

[@Neke-m6b]

Is Mathieu Oliver worth the pickup long term?

[@firedupfantasy]

very loaded question. in a 10 team league? no. in a 16 team points league without hits? probably not. in a 14 team league that heavily values hits? maybe? some leagues have way more roster spots than others. it really depends on who's available on the wire and what your league values scoring wise. oliver's scoring has been unsustainable and his only value is hits and pims

[@Neke-m6b]

[@lucasrodey969]

Do I drop binnigton to pick up Blackwood?

[@chucker625]

Yes

[@aalexlssn3823]

No doubt

[@kelseykjarsgaard5774]

Trade him

[@atticus13fault]

I picked up Blackwood, I’d say yeah man

[@firedupfantasy]

really depends on league settings here. binner might get more volume than blackwood but blackwood has more upside being on a better team.

[@brianbiss5584]

Who a good trade to sell Kent Johnson high.? ast/goL only league. Kent’s averaging 3.1 pts per game. Is matheson getting back to pp1 or is it time to trade him?

[@the-flying-D]

Hischier or Thomas? I'm being offered Hischier but I'm worried

[@justinlaviolette5138]

Letang or walman? I need to drop josi

[@firedupfantasy]

dude don't drop Josi

[@millionfish]

Time to drop Clarke? Ice time has been cut and Doughty will be back soon. 4 games this week is nice, but I don't think I can start him tomorrow over my other guys. It would be better to pickup a forward. My other defensemen are Josi, Hamilton, Sanderson, Dunn, Walman, Matt Roy (streamer). 12 team, H2H, G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM

[@firedupfantasy]

with your existing defensemen yes i wouldn't mind dropping clarke for a forward.

[@pudshii]

Would you claim Barzal since he just came off injured reserve?

[@firedupfantasy]

depends on who'd you be dropping and who else is available on the wire. can't answer without knowing this

[@Highlight-Harbor]

@@firedupfantasy Would be dropping Stamkos and the best players on the market are currently Cirelli, Monahan, Rakell, Barbashev, Rossi. Big names: Kreider, Zibanejad, Letang, Erikson Ek, Hintz.. thoughts?

@@Highlight-Harbor completely depends on league scoring values

[@Highlight-Harbor]

@@firedupfantasy Goals 6, Assists 4, Plus/Minus +2/-2, PP Points 2, SOG 0.9, Blocks 1

[@firedupfantasy]

@@Highlight-Harbor oof that's a tough one. im expecting stammer to bounce back (not like he played last year but still) really hard to choose between stamkos and barzal but wouldn't blame you for picking up barzal. next best guy after those 2 would be eriksson ek

[@JaredNephy]

Who am I dropping to stream a goalie for today? Noesen, Karlson, Ekblad, Spurgon, Clarke or Sanderson??

[@Neke-m6b]

Clarke

[@chucker625]

Clarke or Noesen

[@PapayaFlo]

Pretty sure this will backfire on me and my fantasy team but i miss Daccord on the goalie list. Problem with Kuemper the Kings D is too strong so not a lot to shine for Kuemper and his GSA is low like 1-2. Daccord's GSA is like 9 But Daccord or Kuemper i would say really depends on the league scoring format people playing in

[@MrsBlaileen1]

Looks like Wedgewood is gonna be an every 3-4 games type, unfortunately.

[@justinhildebrand7057]

I'm in a 14 man league. I just traded William Karlsson and Igor shesterkin for Zach Hyman and T. Forester (who I'm dropping) However I have Bouchard and Mcdavid. Good trade or bad trade in your opinion?

[@firedupfantasy]

Really depends on how heavily weighted goalies are in your league and your existing goalie depth.

[@justinhildebrand7057]

@firedupfantasy I have kotchetkov and goalies on waivers now b/c Shesterkin continues to give me big losses in the minuses. I drafted him high and D-men high so I need more FW depth I suppose.

[@firedupfantasy]

@@justinhildebrand7057 fair. i think shesty will bounce back to an extent but hyman is great so perhaps it could work out if FW depth was your need.

[@justinhildebrand7057]

@@firedupfantasy yeah I drafted him high expecting the rangers to be a top 4 team again. I've made more trades this year than others, hopefully work out! Good videos by the way!

[@Hassler247]

Have Gustafson, Stolarz, Lankinen all getting injured basically in the same day…not even looking for advice just venting 🤦‍♂️

[@Tsp2amtn]

I’m riding that pain train as well

[@lukewatson411]

Ive been holding onto slaf desperately hoping he does actually anything but hes been so terrible... is it worth keeping him? I'm thinking it's time to cut him.

[@VP12396]

Drop demko for Blackwood?

[@firedupfantasy]

no that's way too risky

[@federalbureauofinvestigati6213]

I traded granlund for fiala did I win the trade?

[@william3794]

Points league. Trade Nico and Walman for Dahlin? I have too many Cs, Nico is only one I can get rid of.

[@firedupfantasy]

depends on what the scoring values are. are you opening up a streaming spot with Nico or replacing him with someone on the wire? that's also important info for me to determine how good the trade is.

[@SG-bh2ij]

Would anyone trade Jack Hughes for M.Blackwood, Marchenko & Marchment? Thanks

[@firedupfantasy]

Absolutely not if I have Jack Hughes

[@chucker625]

Hard no.

[@TaravistaVelvetSmoov]

3 dimes don't equal $1.00

[@NolanCarnduff12_]

Absolutely not, that’s the easiest no ever. Hughes will get more points than both of them in 1 night most games

[@samking9807]

Do I try trading necas for Matt Tkachuk?

[@jacklaschinski156]

Drop dostal?

[@stevencamp69]

Drop him and grab Keumper if possible
