Just wanted to say thanks for all the great content. Helping me out a lot in the preparations of my drafts. We're a bunch of casuals but it is soo much more fun to go in prepared, and last season I managed to win, much thanks to all the great content creators like yourself out there!
lol to be fair with so many league settings my takes could be spot on or absolute garbage depending on your scoring values. like if you were in a faceoff win or PIM league I’m not making content for those. Not making content for those who have tanner jeannot as a league winner
yo my man! nice video but just a suggestion maybe really separate between the league that counts hits vs the ones that doesnt cause i was going nuts hearing « league that counts hits » cause of how much u said it
Yeah I know, I realized after I recorded. What can you do lol I'm a 1 man team so just gotta put out what I can in the time I have before the season starts
I play in a H2H cats league. Every year I pick 2 cats to punt, then draft based on the remaining 8. This year I punted PIM and hits. We'll see how it goes. In the last 5 years I've finished 1st - 3rd - 2nd - 1st - 2nd. Should be ok.
I'm in a category league that counts hits, blocks, and power play points. My 2 best players last year were Kaprizov and J. Hughes. I can only keep 1, who would you take?
I drafted like half these guys lfg 12 man with hits Brady Jack hughes Jrob Tage Timo Stu Weegar Jeek Matheson Sanderson Gost Vatrano Vilardi Guenther Jenner Montembeault Talbot
Nice team. I went into my draft without following anything during the off season and watched 0 fantasy videos. Most of my team are in all the don’t draft or don’t draft at adp videos 😂😂
I have the first overall pick in a 16 man league and never really realized till now but hits have very good value. Would you consider taking Meier at the 33rd pick? Or is that too of a reach. Obviously the LW/RW Eligibility is great because I will have McDavid as a Pure C
@@firedupfantasy Drafting this Sunday in my keeper league (McDavid and Pasta if you can believe it). I love your content brother good luck and I will stay tuned! Thank you
How long would you wait to take guys with bad value. Really good takes, but I feel like if Point falls the 4th round you gotta take him just cause of the point pp upside despite shitty peripherals
it really depends on league settings. if shots are similar to how they are valued in default points, i am not a fan of Point at all. When I can get center like Larkin and Zib 5 round later, or even Scheifele and Kadri 12 rounds later.... the value just isn't there with only center eligibility This is especially the case in leagues that count hits as well. Eriksson Ek all day over Point in terms of value there
Good info but hits isn’t the only category. I’d rather a better player who’ll get more goals and assists and ppp then someone who gets fewer and more hits
I agree, had him in there but edited him out. Just wanted to focus on guys who put up lots of points along with hits and he may only get like 25-30 points. He is a absolute stud in some league formats though
That video was made a couple weeks ago before camp. I’ve talked about both Forsling and Boqvist being breakout guys. Now with camp underway we’ve seen that Boqvist is getting reps on the 1st unit and Forsling hasn’t had any looks. Nothing is 100% confirmed but I am not drafting Forsling because of this
Lane Hutson will be a top10 D. Matheson aint lasting PP1. Hutson is ready and the best thing I've seen on the backend in a long time. Periphs wont be great but he's an automatic 45-55 assists this year and he's underrated at blocks, he's always in the play, watch him turn back on defence to be put himself directly in front of the puck. Korpisalo is at least a 50/50 starter this year at worst. Boston can pull a Tampa with Vasilevskiy and wait on Swayman through the first two months. It's actually in Swaymans best interests as he wants an 8 year deal and the cap hit can be much higher than 8.6M cap space that Boston has atm with Swayman missing two months. One of Thompson/Knight/Wallsteadt will be a top10 goalie in points leagues. Those starters are bandaids boys and these guys are simply better.
In really depends on your league settings brother. Luke Hughes was great last year but in most leagues he was trash because no peripherals. Hutson’s periphs will not be good. I will not draft him unless I was in a league where they were barely weighted. I think he’s a stud though. We’ll see what happens with Swayman. I think they get a deal done soon but that’s just my 2 cents. And I agree about goalies. So much variance, injuries, etc. that’s why I am generally avoiding drafting them too high
@@Yuuuustupid On initial reading here I would say yes drafting Brady at 6 is completely viable. Shots, hits and PIM all favour Brady heavily. Only advantage for Drai is the heavy powerplay weight here but Brady should feast in this league

For a hits league is this a good trade?
I give Nick Suzuki and Brent Burns and in return get MacKenzie Weegar and JJ Petrka
Luv your expert insight on players, very very helpful
Draft is literally tmmr i love you
Thoughts on Jake Debrusk? He will play with Miller or Pettersson and will get a sniff on PP1, I will take a flyer on him in later rounds.
I like him forsure
Where would you put bowen Byram? Is he good in either leagues?
Gonna love comparing these takes with end of season rankings.

Great content! If you could only pick one in a hits blocks shots league, Rakell, Quinn, Dubois?
Probably Rakell
Really good takes
Appreciate you man! NHL fantasy goat

Yahoo has a column during the draft to sort the players that takes into consideration your league settings.
yes but it only takes total stats, not fantasy points per game. the players that missed any time last year because massively underrated
I'm in a category league that counts hits, blocks, and power play points. My 2 best players last year were Kaprizov and J. Hughes. I can only keep 1, who would you take?
Fellas I got Rantanen at 14, wild to see

Nice team. I went into my draft without following anything during the off season and watched 0 fantasy videos. Most of my team are in all the don’t draft or don’t draft at adp videos 😂😂
What pick did you get
@@alextucker4464 last pick in 12 man league
Thomas is tricky. If the league offers FW as a stat and it's cats, he will help there quite a bit.
Crossing fingers Laine isn't hurt too bad. The guy deserves a break.
I have the first overall pick in a 16 man league and never really realized till now but hits have very good value. Would you consider taking Meier at the 33rd pick? Or is that too of a reach. Obviously the LW/RW Eligibility is great because I will have McDavid as a Pure C
League settings:
G (3)
A (2)
+- (0.5)
PPP (0.75)
SHP (1.25)
GWG (0.5)
SHG (0.25)
BLK (0.35)
HIT (0.35)
It could pay off but there might be better options at the end of the snake where you'll get 2 back to back picks in round 3.
I don’t mind that.
Would love for Dahlin to fall to you in your league and then snag him and Meier
@@firedupfantasy haha that’s literally my exact plan/hope. Thanks for the insight!
@@Badnercalabrese yea definitely just gonna have to play it on the fly
Anyone have advice for drafting in a cats league with hits, blocks and plus minus...
In a league that counts hits, blocks, and faceoffs would you guys rather have Brock Nelson or Boone Jenner?
And PIMS
Jenner is a peripherals god but I give the edge to Nelson for the goal scoring
Has kyrou in cats league last year he was BRUTAL
in points leagues hes a massive steal at that price though
You didn't mention Jarvis, what is your take?
Yes Jarvis has an edge in hits. Probably should have mentioned him but had so many guys to talk about. Only downside to him is his shot volume
@@firedupfantasy Drafting this Sunday in my keeper league (McDavid and Pasta if you can believe it). I love your content brother good luck and I will stay tuned! Thank you
@@firedupfantasywould you consider his shot volume to go up now that Carolina has emptied out a bunch of their forwards in the off season?

What about Noah Dobson?
Good info but hits isn’t the only category. I’d rather a better player who’ll get more goals and assists and ppp then someone who gets fewer and more hits
Yeah I understand that, can only account for so many league settings and it feels like hits are the big divider between value for most people
Martin Pospisil is a MVP in a FOW Hit PIM league.
agreed
I agree, had him in there but edited him out. Just wanted to focus on guys who put up lots of points along with hits and he may only get like 25-30 points.
He is a absolute stud in some league formats though
As of yesterday Daily Faceoff had Byfield on PP1
Dailyfaceoff is often inaccurate and so far in camp he hasn’t been on there
what if you have Caulfield and Svech :)
bro didnt even mention gudas in hit counting leagues while glazing seth jones;D

How many times does he say hits?
161
@@firedupfantasy coincidentally the amount of hits I want on my forwards
I thought forsling was #1 breakout candidate so why is he considered a bad ADP at that number

Don't agree on some of the takes. But mostly good.
Biggest issue with svech is injuries.
I agree but Forsberg was the same way and last year he was able to stay healthy
Hamilton is made of glass. Maybe that's why he's not ranked as a top 5 D-man.
I want a dollar for every time you say hits
Lmao I know but I’m crunched with these videos and didn’t want to re-record those parts
how did I get Meier 10th round in a 14 man league lmao
I’m afraid you’re in a Taco league
If your league has +/- and PIM as categories, but not hits and blocks, get out.
Love your channel but there should be a drinking game for every time you say "guys"
That would be an extremely dangerous game
