Start 4: Hayton vs Ottawa Guenther vs Ottawa Teravainen vs Vancouver DeBrusk (I believe he's still top line, but has been moved off of pp1 in favour of Garland) vs Chicago Debrincat vs Islanders Vilardi vs St Louis Rakell vs Calgary G, A, P, PPP, SOG, HIT, BLK, PIM

In a Rotisserie Cat league that includes G, A, SOG, FW, HITs, BLKs I need to reactivate Slaf and Matheson. What should I do ? Drop 2: - Cozen (but he might get RW eligibility and has FW and peripherals) - Rust - Brandt Clarke - Ross Colton (love the deployment and peripherals but it’s an obvious temp add) -Matheson - Levi (my league has a big quota of game played for goalies) Thanks in advance

Great content as always. I just followed you on X and joined your discord. Question: I went to buy low on Zack Hyman and offered Timo Meier straight up. He countered with Hyman and Noesen for my Meier and Norris. Should I take it? Much appreciate the advice. Matt

[@firedupfantasy]

sorry for the late reply, been a busy 2 weeks. still like buying low on hyman and selling high on meier. those type of trade questions need extra context. i can't gage a trade without knowing the best guys on the wire or your league settings

Hey guys! Great info. Question for you, what do we think about Dougie Hamilton? Hold? Risky bc of Luke Hughes? Thanks in advance!

[@rondahauser9877]

Just a suggestion- If you split weeks into two halves you might be able to find a team with a back to back at the begging of the week and a team with a back to back at the end of the week with either possibly having a game in the middle. With that you might be able to get up to 5 games out of 1 roster spot. Probably is quite rare that this happens tho Edit: Gonna say it again like I did last week, ur videos are GD awesome!

[@firedupfantasy]

i saw your comment last week and made sure to check! didn't see anything like that this week (only back to backs we're on heavy nights) so didn't discuss it

[@Melocottone]

Would forsling as a waiver pick up be fine. Already have Faulk, Hamilton, josi, and weegar. Would it be worth picking up forsling as an extra d man

I have toews on IR rn. Should I get / keep Hronek vs walman vs ekholm vs OEL? points + blocks & hits league, no +/-

[@firedupfantasy]

don't understand the get/keep part of your question. i also would need to know the exact scoring values. in generally walman and oel are the best options here that you mentioned though.

[@ktowniecity7269]

Mrazek really underrated at home .930 goalie last year. People just have PTSD from his Leafs single season. The Hawks defence is a bit improved as well.

[@firedupfantasy]

heads up: Drake Batherson is also a guy who I think is rostered too low - really solid peripherals, L2/PP1. For example Brandon Hagel is rostered higher than him on yahoo Also Jamie Drysdale is PP1 and worth a look edit: and should have added juuse saros as a buy-low. starts off every year slow - also elias pettersson

[@firedupfantasy]

Not terrible, obviously lack of star power there because you got Saros and Oett in the 2nd and 3rd round In terms of dropping guys it really depends on who’s available. Vatrano could be a potential drop, maybe Ekholm but only if there were better players on the wire

In a weekly points league with 2 points on goals, 1 for assists, .5 for blocks, and .1 for hits and faceoffs for the main scoring and looking to add OEL but my D right now is Dahlin, Hamilton, Josi, Sanderson, and Sergachev. While Dahlin hasn’t started well still holding out and can’t drop anyway and my lowest scoring player is Marchand who is also a can’t drop player. Should I drop Lafreniere for OEL?

[@firedupfantasy]

keep Barby for now in your league format. I will say I think he's easily a sell high candidate and Chinakov could put up more points than him but his hits are too elite. edit: an OEL add will depend on if you need a defensemen and if OEL is better than your current crop

In an 8-team points league, the hardest part is not overreacting. There's so many players I want to add but I can't justify dropping anyone on my team. Ive really wanted OEL, Toffoli, Lundell, and F. Gustavsson but like I said, I dont think I can justify it T. Thompson, Ek, J Robo, Hagel, Meier, Zucc, Faulk, Montour, Morrisey, Josi, Tuch, Drai, S. Skinner, Binnington, A.

[@firedupfantasy]

Really not a fan of Hagel especially in your format In an 8 team league there should be far better options on your wire

[@Abcdefghh832]

Would you do Kaprizov for Hyman and Petterson? 10 man league to accept the trade would have to make some roster moves off IR to get the extra space. Villardi kadri chinakov batherson and vatrano are probably my most droppable (can only keep 1). Goals (G) 6 Assists (A) 4 Plus/Minus (+/-) 1 Powerplay Points (PPP) 2 Shorthanded Goals (SHG) 3 Shots on Goal (SOG) 0.9 Hits (HIT) 0.5 Blocks (BLK) 1 Loving the videos by far my favourite fantasy KZbinr!

[@firedupfantasy]

it's a solid trade but Kaprizov is so good What do you mean you can only keep 1 of those?

[@mikedrop1519]

Great video brother

[@yourfaceistube]

So i got a Trade done. I sent: Miller / Marner and received Matthews / Pettersson. Now i have a chance to Trade for Nylander - but would cost Kempe + Morrisey. Im deep on defense but still - its spicey. G2, A1, S.1, H.1, blk .5

[@firedupfantasy]

can't answer without knowing your defense. generally not a fan of holding 5 defensemen if you have 4 defensemen spots

[@yourfaceistube]

@@firedupfantasy I had excess defense. I'm down to 4 now. I was potentially going to acquire Nylander. I didn't end up taking it. Stuck with Morrisey and Kempe. Slight regret settling in lol but seller was pressuring with arbitrary time which I wasn't a fan of. So held off. D core remains in tact. Makar, Bouchard, Weegar, Morrisey.
