Keeping Karlsson: Matchup Maximizer Week 7
Jeremy subs in to look at the schedule for the upcoming week of NHL action and recommends some players with good schedules that you should consider streaming in to win your head to head matchups.
Keeping Karlsson Short Shifts – Permission To Cut
Jeremy and Shams cover the usual headlines and injuries but get your permission slips out as the second half of the show they cover a litany of suggested players from the Patreon community to give their input on whether it’s ok to cut that big name player off your fantasy team.
I love seeing Justin Schultz, DeAngelo and Dumba in your top 35. Any chance you've got a feel for when DeAngelo cracks the TB lineup? I have feeling he'll push the issue and make it for the '16-17 season. Maybe even a cup of coffee or two this year if injuries occur.
I'd be interested in the reasoning why Letang is this low.
Should I "trade up" to land Barrie? I can't get myself around to believe he isn't worth significantly more than that. I do know about the injuries, but 60 games from him and 20 from a FA replacement should still result in more points than 80 games from any other D on this list not named Karlsson (and maybe Subban).
Did I miss something?
Injury risk, you know that ;)
I am surprised to not see Alex Edler's name anywhere on this list. This is why:
11/12 – T6th in overall D scoring
12/13 – T25th in overall D scoring
13/14 – 76th (The forgetableTorts year)
14/15 – T48th in overall D scoring
15/16 – Dobber Guide say 32 points
– Last season the 100th highest point getting D had 19 points
– Edler is the undisputed #1D in Vancouver this year
Not nitpicking, just surprised. I had to look this up this info.. I thought I would share what I found.
I don't have a lot of use for a defenseman who gets 32 points, in a points-only format. He wouldn't make my Top 4 or even my Top 6 for that matter.
I don't see how Yandle is #3 when he was pretty terrible after his trade to the Rangers (and really not great before that w/ the Yotes) PLUS McDonagh is all the way down at #44.
Also, I can't see why Calvin deHaan would be any higher than than Boychuk or Pulock (or Hamonic for that matter) when he doesn't have much of an ability to shoot the puck.
Remove the first nine games after the trade and Yandle's numbers actually improved. If you bought the Guide you'd know this ;)
I have a soft spot for de Haan, being in the Oshawa area. Hope that helps.
WOW! This list is all askew. Seems to be a lot of one season production along with the chance of production, ahead of proven production. Cody Ceci ahead of TJ Brodie by a county mile. It's ballzy to put Derrick Pouliot at #40. That chubby regard needs learn the PRO game and compete consistently at a high level. Before he even cracks the top 50 list. Same goes for Anthony DeAngelo whos never laced them up for a regular season game. This is like the "Slots Jockeys" wrote this list. Trying to say theres skill involved in coin bingo……..Come on DeAngelo get 48pts, 120hits, 140Blks & 100pims.
In this points-only format, once a defenseman becomes a dime a dozen (i.e. 35-39 points) then I'd much rather have the potential guy in terms of trade talks.
Pouliot is a stud, come on. Most offensive talented rearguard in a system that will score PP goals like crazy.
