2017 Playoff Preview (The Quest Begins March 18th)
« on: March 06, 2017, 06:09:06 PM »
Round 1 Projections
1st - :STL-NHL: (16-4)
vs
8th - :LAK: (11-9)

2nd - :VAN: (15-5)
vs
7th - :CHI-NHL: (12-8)

3rd - :NYR: (11-9)
vs
6th - :CLG: (14-6)

4th - :TOR-NHL: (15-5)
vs
5th - :DET-NHL: (15-5)

In the hunt:
:PHI-NHL: (10-10) --> Should win out with the remaining schedule (:TBL: and :BOS-NHL:) then needs a stumble by a current playoff team.
:PIT-NHL: (10-10) --> Should win out with the remaining schedule (:BOS-NHL: and :WAS-NHL:) then needs a stumble by a current playoff team.
:DAL-NHL: (10-10) --> End off year with a battle against the Kings!
:CLS: (9-11) --> Have to win out to give themselves a chance, win by the Kings and their out.

Nolan Patrick Race
:WAS-NHL: vs :TBL: - who is going to get the most points and therefore not get the 1st overall pick (#notanking)

Really good to see LA pushing for a playoff spot but could be in tough against the defending cup champs in Slack's Blues.
Weird to see Tony on the lower half of the bracket but that is the way it goes some years, just ask myself or Tyler.
Vancouver's goalie situation has propelled them to the top of the Pacific and could be a scary team to face in the playoffs with Anderson returning to the net as well.
The 4 vs 5 matchup should be interesting to watch as 2 original six division rivals face off in a quality matchup!

Good luck to all on this final playoff push.

Sucks to be on the outside but that's what happens with Quick out for the year since day 1 and not being able to acquire another G. Anaheims future and young guns coming up give some hope! So Drew I feel your pain seeing this is the first time since day 1 of the league we will not be contenders!!

Good luck to everyone when the playoffs get going!!

Looks like my team drafted Laine last year and we won't mind adding Nico this year. Boston is determined to reach #1.

With Tampa playing the Rangers this week it would have been helpful if they set their lineups maybe I would have had a chance to make the playoffs.Pretty sad.Left some scorers on the bench for last 3 days.  >:(

Now it looks as if I won't because of it.Something needs to be done about it IMO.

I set my lineups regardless.

Have to look at enforcing some penalties for these situations, this could also be the difference between 1st overall pick or not for another team.

Tampa was ahead till scores from yesterday but if other players would have played throughout the week score would have been close,now I probably won't get into the playoffs with the score the way it is and no way to catch up.Disappointing should I say.

  • Daddy: If i have 10 top level AA prospects each in the top 10 of the franchise vs one middle of the road pitcher like Cal Quantrill (or pick a guy) which one of those two packages are more valuable?
    Today at 02:39:26 PM
  • Daddy: If you think its the AA guys send me a pm.
    Today at 02:40:07 PM
  • Daddy: Also... Ive got a nice private island full of beautiful women to sell you. Pay me upfront and i will send you its coordinates. We call it the Virgin Daddy Islands. $5k reserves it for your future.
    Today at 02:41:59 PM
  • dbreer23: Take two to tango, though. Most owners with adequate or surplus SP aren't interested in prospects as they're trying to win now.
    Today at 02:42:54 PM
  • Daddy: Agreed. But most does not equal all.
    Today at 02:45:09 PM
  • Braves155: My issue in LIVE currently is having Strider/Alcantara/Giolito all on the long shelf, so I am more retooling than rebuilding
    Today at 02:46:48 PM
  • Daddy: Also agreed. Top quality pitching probably means not much depth. A few injuries can challenge you. Pitching other than top end pitching has been devalued in fantasy. Everyone wants the stud.
    Today at 02:49:24 PM
  • Braves155: But I myself could use some time on a nudie island with some hot women
    Today at 02:49:45 PM
  • Daddy: I here to tell you that ALL major league pitching is good pitching. A great hitter beats a terrible pitcher just 3 out of 10 times. Which means the worst pitchers > the greatest hitters.

  • STLBlues91: Ill be around the rest of the day for any talks

  • Brent: Greg Maddux had the best outlook.  He viewed himself as tye dealer/house and you had to beat him.  Just like in the casino, the house nearly always wins.
    Today at 04:33:51 PM
  • Brent: He had that view b/c of his father who was a blackjack dealer in Vegas.
    Today at 04:35:28 PM
  • Daddy: Yes @Brent!! That is it exactly. Pitching is the house & it always wins in the end.
    Today at 05:15:18 PM
  • Daddy: There shouldn't be many innings available in FA in dynasty fantasy leagues IMO. Thats guaranteed money! To hell with High A ball.
    Today at 05:21:23 PM
  • Daddy: Until someone starts a minor league baseball fantasy game or option. Maybe we can petition fantrax? I just dont think they will care for that.
    Today at 05:23:07 PM
  • Daddy: Neither should we (so much). Every league i see is MLB.

    Today at 05:26:33 PM
  • Braves155: The problem with the minors is not the system as a whole, it is some Farm Systems are more 'elite' at being able to produce talent than others. If you look across MLB teams you can pretty easily tell the great systems from the weaker systems and talent development
    Today at 05:57:14 PM
  • Braves155: With regard to pitching in the Minors...there is  method to the madness. It is all about what you make of it tho. I agree that it can seem certain type arms in the minors are a dime a dozen
    Today at 06:02:39 PM
  • Daddy: Mr Braves you are my guy. There isnt anything wrong with minor league studs or flops. I get it in REAL baseball.
    Today at 06:20:28 PM
  • Daddy: This is fantasy baseball. We dont generate revenue selling prospects and merchandising. Our top farms dont get a write up in Sports Illustrated.
    Today at 06:22:29 PM
  • Daddy: Load up on MLB guys, then near MLB guys, and only then is the quality of your prospects matter. Ya dig ;)
    Today at 06:24:36 PM
  • Brent: I over value minors to a fault, but I am softening on that stance.
