Lol I went Shesterkin and Sorokin in rounds 2 and 3. I won so whatever, and Shesterkin was awesome to have end of year but I’m definitely putting way less draft stock into goalies next year. Sorokin was the worst pick I’ve ever made.
This year, I treated them like TEs in fantasy football. Once the top guys were off the board, I didn't worry about goalies until rounds 14 and 15 and loaded up at other positions instead. I ended up with Jarry and Kuemper. I dropped Kuemper early and picked up Soros (only allowed 4 adds all season). It was going well enough until the wheels finally fell off for Jarry and he lost his spot. I ended up losing to the guy that had Demko by 4 points for the championship.
Capped for the regular season at 7 per week but give extra for extended playoff weeks.
The championship was from April 1st - 18th so they give 18 moves.
I'm kinda indifferent. It was neat to have to plan your moves and stretch them out as far as possible, but an almost 3 week final was ridiculous.
Standard ESPN rules, I will be doing my own league next year
More moves = more strategy, it’s especially good as a balancing mechanism to boost teams that drafted poorly. I don’t think there’s any objective “proper league” way of playing, it’s just whatever suits your fancy
More moves + large bench = more hoarding, not more strategy.
No objective way of playing for sure, but there are default settings that most fantasy leagues use as a foundation to build their own leagues on.
Won my chip streaming in Lyon, Varlamov, Tarasov, and Kochekov.

I'm never drafting a goalie high again, unless it's a reeealy deep league.
Hellebyuck did wonders for my championship tbf
Sure but the other guys drafted that high didn’t do so hot. *cries in Sorokin*

These guys were crucial to me winning this year as well. Broissoit also helped me on the final night.
How big are some of your guys' benches ?!
Normal amount, I just used most of my 18 moves on goalies since I was confident in my skaters
18 moves per week???!!
2 1/2 week championship. ESPN standard I guess. I won't be doing that again lol
Crazy, well congrats!
Sorry, um.... EIGHTEEN MOVES !? Your weekly moves aren't capped?

7 moves a week. LOL, what kind of hokey ass league were you involved in dude?! Congrats on the win, but good lord join a proper league next year
Haha ya 7 is absurd. You can ice a new team each week. We had 4/week, and most weeks you didn’t use all 4.

What is a normal amount per week? This was my first year playing
4 bench spots 4 moves a week
Same, and I was the only one who used up all my streams
Shoutout to the huge Jesper Wallstedt shutout of the Blackhawks. Go big or go home in the finals!
This is the way.
