GDT - Week 20 & 21

[Shoalzie]

We're in the home stretch...trade deadline is Monday evening.

The top 8 in the West is set but there's a few spots in the standings that are undecided.

The East isn't quite as settled. Tampa can still chase down Montreal for the 8th seed. Plus you have the Philadelphia/Columbus/Washington cluster is very close together.

[kyuss]

after the recent deals that went down I'd expect a NHL-like slow trade deadline

[Handsome&FairMike]

Great race in the east… outside of BUF/TOR/NJD, the rest up in the air. I’m definitely heading in a downward trajectory. Should be an interesting two weeks!

West top 8 seems pretty confirmed.

What time is deadline? 1 hour before lock? So like 6pm et?

Correct. I reposted the league announcement. Deal must be posted and confirmed to be valid. NO EXCEPTIONS.

The first game isn't until 730 ET so the deadline should be 630

6:30 is fine with me. We had that issue in the past with guys posting deals but not getting them finalized on Fantrax ahead of the lineup lock. That extra hour is just to make sure that stuff is finalized.

I won't have today's deals entered into Google until later tonight. I do have Mik's position updates though.

Scott hath spoken - 6:30 it is! Don’t be late!

[Shoalzie]

It ain't my choice, friend...it's in the CBA, right?

[CasperX22]

There's still a little room for shuffling of seeding in the West.

[KapG]

Are the teams I’m looking at currently for this week the teams I am actually matched up against?? I’m hoping so because I need a beat down and I’m currently matched up against 3 great teams and one I should smoke

[Bruyns]

yes, schedule is in

[Shoalzie]

yes, schedule is in

Thanks Matt.

The battle for the #7 spot in the lottery is on the line...Bruins vs. Red Wings. Only a 20-point difference. Facing two playoff teams and Arizona team that should beat me. Bruins only face Montreal and 3 non-playoff teams. You never know...

The Kraken have tough matchups for Week 21...no way that we swap spots. He's got a pretty good point gap on me.

I'll start doing the lottery watch after this week is over. I have a lot of catching up to do with trades involving draft picks.

[KapG]

yes, schedule is in

Thanks buddy!!!

tight race between me and thom to see who squeeks into the playoffs this week

ooh, maybe Tampa might be on the outside looking in.

Don't be surprised if I fall right out of the playoffs...

[Shoalzie]

It's good to see every team is reaching the skater GP for the season.

Mik is sitting at 70 starts, Flyers are at 69 and four others are at 68 starts as of today. Chicago is at 34 starts, Calgary is at 33 and Anaheim has only 31. If there's point adjustments due to starts, it won't be much.

[kyuss]

Mik is sitting at 70 starts

(one) mission accomplished

[Matthew]

ooo close between hong and me


looks like dave fell outta the playoffs right at the end

[Matthew]

Reminder: unless you have a goalie system (ie two goalies from the same nhl team as your tandem) then you are limited to 4 goalie starts per playoff week. if you start to studs in net and your goalies go over 4 starts you lose goalie stats.
