[Nick]

this group is going to smash a lot of the lower-end teams, completely.. 12 skater categories at a high-end level. If Crawford performs in week for you there will be plently of 14+ win weeks.

that's actually not true. The rumours are in the swiss league but he wants to wait until after training camps start.

Thanks Nick - that's the plan. Just need to stay healthy.

[shooker]

I think shivs team can smash top teams as well. I'd wager he has the most weeks won in the east and the most points in the east at the end of the season. Most complete team at this point in time in either conf.

there is no such team as Formula 2.

i just thought it sounded like a race car tournament or something, combined with sily swedish hockey names.

thought it might trick some people

Raymond signed with the preds?

no, that logo is just there because it used to be Forsbergs spot. haven't put the Leaf logo on yet.

I agree that he'll have the most points. Weeks won will likely depend on 2-5 weeks against the other big dogs. I still do not believe that complete wins against the less balanced but more extreme - likely for goalies to be the determining factor in these weeks.

his goalies are super elite as well though lol. I think teams will have to perform above their averages to beat him this season. He can be beat but he will be the favourite going into each and every week. As he is the better team, in those weeks where top teams only perform average or under their average, I could see some landslide win totals. He will likely only win cats, verses top teams, by a small margin but still wins.

Don't keep challenging this, Shiv does not need me inflating his ego.

[Nick]

Will have to see the outcomes I guess... but weeks 2, 3, 4 & 5 will place things out nicely rather quickly for Shiv; later on weeks 8, 9, 12, 14 & 18 will at least be solid tests - In all likelihood I think he'll win the East points race.

top notch team with no depth

we've seen billy fall from grace before under the same conditions

shiv makes so many trades that depth only becomes an issue late in the year. If we keep having the trade deadline so late he has zero danger of injuries becoming an issue.

I think you're the lock for President's trophy and total weeks won. Weeks 1,2, 9 + 17 & 18 are the quick-glance notables...

I'm going to try to take the President's trophy this year from Steve. Doubt it though lol.

The problem is that sometimes when guys get injured you have to lose value in a trade to get rid of them. Last year it wasn't an issue till the playoffs actually started and Lupul went down for me in my playoff matchup versus Bergey. If I get similar bounces this year, I'll be fine with it. Depth is important though. Mike last year was literally playing 5+ GP every week vs opponents because of his depth.

[shooker]

you've always found ways to find a great deal with injured players in the past. No doubt depth is a nice asset, it is something I used to do as well, but with how strong your team is, I don't see it being an issue.
