MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Greaseballs needs to get some of these guys into the last few. Auston Matthews in 1 Game Mikko Rantanen in 1 Game Pavel Buchnevich up to 5 games Jesper Bratt up to 9 games So you have to ice your best lineup, but not if its your best players 10th game. Does anyone else think thats a little strange? (and yes, I get the strategy of why you do that, dont need explanation. Just think its funny where we decide to draw the line between tanking and setting your best lineup) Link to post Share on other sites

One could argue that farm players shouldn't have to be called up at all because it states the team has the option. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'd also argue a case where, say, you had 4 farm players all playing (and all would be part of your *best* lineup), you wouldn't have to play them all if it requires you to drop somebody (ie you only get 3 extra roster spaces).

serge 904 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 We have tons of Toews and Aho rules but I love to see a rule where a guy like Auston Matthews can’t be left on the farm. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I see things different than most. If a player is a regular in the NHL with no chance of being sent back to junior he should be in the lineup. It’s hard to quantify that with border line players. But Auston Matthews has been a regular in the NHL for over a year and a half now. Link to post Share on other sites

But Auston Matthews has been a regular in the NHL for over a year and a half now. That's why we have the Toews Rule. What would be the point of forcing Greaseballs to call up Matthews? The ultimate goal is to win the championship, No? Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 That’s a good point. However I just feel that if a player is a regular and a very high end regular he shouldn’t be kept on farm. In the real NHL there is no scenario where the Leafs would keep a player like Matthews in junior( or Europe) for contract manipulation purposes. Link to post Share on other sites

In the real NHL there is no scenario where the Leafs would keep a player like Matthews in junior( or Europe) for contract manipulation purposes. How is that relevant? There is no Toews Rule in the NHL either. NHL teams manage their assets in the best interest of their team.* Isn't that what keeping Matthews on the farm is what Greaseballs is doing? *Unless they are the Edmonton Oilers Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Too much micromanaging from above creeping into these fantasy leagues. Some is certainly necessary, but we're getting dangerously close to taking it too far, if we haven't already. Link to post Share on other sites

Some is certainly necessary, but we're getting dangerously close to taking it too far, if we haven't already. It certainly reduces options and therefore effort required...which is a plus for some, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites

Zach6668 513 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Are we going to allow Steelheads to post this lineup with 2 injured players ? Can really have a play in my playoff chances I pointed this out on Slack like a week ago when he had injured players in against Bob (and in a DM on Slack to Chris 2 days earlier). He had guys in who hadn't played in weeks, with replacements available on the bench. The Eichel injury occured Feb 10 and his 6-8 week timeline was announced the next day. It's not asking too much to be at least aware that your top player is gone for 2 months. I get it if it's a random mid-level guy... or a guy's status is unclear, but he's already dressed him in a game where he didn't play. You can't be unaware of it anymore.

serge 904 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 While Boone Jenner is an albatross if a franchise player. If he scores 2 goals today and leads me to survivor win, it’s all worth it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
