⬆Yikes!
Was thinking more Dallas/Minny forwards.
But if you're right, I doubt you are competing with many of the same lineups, like I would be.
Good luck!

Using a strategy has been losing me money lately. Matchups, hot streaks, playoff implications...PHOOEY.

Better off having some fun and see what happens haha.

^ Agreed! Everytime I over-analyze, I lose money.

Also, I have no idea how to screenshot my lineup and post it.

Nino Niederreiter
Patrick Sharp
Jiri Hudler
Marian Hossa
Sean Monahan
Jonathan Toews
Ryan Suter
Matt Dumba
Devan Dubnyk

Couldn't afford johnny! Hope I don't end up regretting it.

This Gaudreau guy is apparently a bum and doesn't get a picture.

How do you not pick Hammond. So hot right now.
That looks pretty solid except for Hall. I would dump that bum.

Funny you say that. Hall was my last pick. It's between basically him or Gaborik, unless I change my lineup some more. And I don't want Gaborik racking up points. I want the kings to lose, so it's hard to pick a guy and then cheer against him LOL

If Toronto got three past Hammond, one has to wonder a little. That guy is a cracked foundation waiting to crumble. The bet is on when and how bad.

It's true that the collapse is coming. But I'm obviously not betting it happens tonight.

I would take Marleau or Vanek and would probably prefer Vanek. For me, the decision was between Gaudreau and Vanek and since I'll be watching the Flames game I had to go with Johnny.

I took Vanek and with the extra dough I dropped Hammond and took Lehtonen.

Lehtonen should be able to handle BUF I would assume (hope)?

Here is what I have now, subject to change:

LW Zach Parise $7,700 MIN@TOR
LW Thomas Vanek $5,300 MIN@TOR
RW Jason Pominville $6,200 MIN@TOR
RW Patrick Eaves $3,400 BUF@DAL
C Tyler Seguin $8,400 BUF@DAL
C Jason Spezza $6,500 BUF@DAL
D Erik Karlsson $7,000 SJ@OTT
D Jason Demers $3,000 BUF@DAL
G Andrew Hammond $7500 SJ@OTT

Could go Ramo @ 7300 or Pavelec @ 7700 and start making lineup changes.

I kept losing money betting against Buffalo. They've been playing okay (relatively) of late. Better to stick to the sure thing: Toronto.

Dunno bout Ramo, all our recent games with COL have been pretty high-scoring. Team looks good! I feel like MIN is a sure thing but can't get a bead on the BUF-DAL game so I stayed away.

What they have done, since ridding themselves of those two AHL goaltenders in great deadline deals, is significantly improved goals against.
Which is why they aren't usually a great bet now, like they were.

So yeah - upon reflection, ...
Shoot me - I do this every day!

Yup, Dubnyk should be good for a shutout tonight.

Why not just stick with your gut and open up a new $1 50/50 or $2 breakaway something?

I probably won't monitor them much anyways since I'll be at the game. Researching players often gets me like bottom 1/20 rankings lol.

#1 - breakaway
Gaudreau
Wheeler
Hudler
Frolik
Monahan
Toews
Trouba
Keith
Ramo

#2 - 50/50
Parise
Ladd
Frolik
Williams
Koivu
Granlund
Doughty
Burns
Dubnyk

Thrown together in probably 1 minute.

Heh, I was just kidding. My juju is more resilient than that!

Team looks good! I like the first one, not as many dirty kings.
