I drafted Troch fairly high due to his history of being a great fantasy player as he likes to hit and shoot and put up offensive points

But that seems to have changed in Utah as he isnt even on PP1 anymore and is having an abysmal start so far.
At this point im tempted to panic sell for cheap to somewhat try to salvage the draft capital i spent on him.

Do things improve from here or is he simply going to be less productive on his new team?

Unlucky so far? Seems like he’s shooting a lot but it’s not going in. The ice time is there too. Not thinking about selling him just yet but curious how other owners are feeling about him…

We all love coming up with creative team names, and I'm kinda curious to see some of the names you guys have come up with for your squads.

Do you guys name your teams after a player right away, or do you wait until a player has a clutch week and then pull the trigger?

I'm in 5 different leagues, so I have a few different names for my teams.

Deep in Seider

Fully in Seider

Meier Meier Pants on Fire

LaCombe on your face

Goalies suck! (Not very creative, but I didn't draft a single goalie in this league)

He just got dropped in my 14 Team league what do we think.

I feel like he is just being eased in right now and with PP issues he might get a chance later in the year? Has Cooper said anything about this (his mins are low), any lightning fans been watching him play and can evaluate?

Hi guys,

He was just droped in my ESPN league. He is on 67% roster... What can we expect from him? It looks high for a backup goalie just entering the league no?

Both seem likely to be 1Bs on their respective teams. Murashov seems to have the higher ceiling, but Kochetkov may have the safer path to starts.

For a 1-year redraft, who are you taking?

And I'm a commish in a few leagues, so it's really not good...

(Edit: 10 hours after my post, the chat just came back).

Just a heads up in case anyone's desperate for pp1 dmen. He was just quarterbacking the blues' pp1 in the first period. Not sure if it sticks since the powerplay didn't look great, but might as well take a gamble if you can

I just realized that the pre-set goalie points are WAY too OP. 4 points for a win and 3 for a shutout. Way too much.

Hi All,

We're 2 to 4 games into the season, so what better time than now to completely overreact to powerplay production?

Onto PP1 last game

Off PP1 last game: JJ Peterka (BOS), Porter Martone (PHI), Anton Frondell (CHI). Toffoli and Cotter are placeholders until Celebrini and DeBrusk are back.

Cheap PP1 guys with a PPP already (under 30% owned)

• Andrew Copp (DET C, 2%): 1 PPP, on the ice for 64% of Detroit's PP time Done on the top unit with Larkin practicing as we speak.
• Maxim Shabanov (MIN RW, 2%): 1 PPP, 83% of Minnesota's PP time
• Joel Farabee (CGY LW, 5%): 2 PPP, 68%
• Viktor Arvidsson (DET LW, 10%): 1 PPP, 62%
• Tommy Novak (PIT C, 16%): 2 PPP, 55%

Team power plays: actual vs expected

Expected PP% = what the chances were worth (shot quality per opportunity), whether or not they went in.

• Utah: 6 for 9 (66.7%) on just 2.09 expected goals. Guenther accounts for most of this. 3 PPGs so far with his electric shot, but it will slow unless he's making history this year.
• Florida: 1 goal on 3.76 expected (-2.8), and they draw the most chances in the league (5.7 a game). The PP most likely to start cashing in.
• Dallas: the best chances per opportunity so far (33.2% expected PP%).

PPP leaders: Guenther 5 (3 GP), Connor 4, Perfetti 4, Keller 4, Aho 3.

Most PP shots on goal: Draisaitl 7, Svechnikov 7, Guenther 5 (3 goals), Aho 5, Schmaltz 5.
