Thank you for this info! I rarely play the 50mil cap, so it is quite valuable for me, even though I am not technically a beginner anymore.
Questions:
1) What kind of assist production do you want from your defencemen?
2) With the min. salary defencemen, do you look for max def rating, or more of an assist maker like
Faubert or Carlyle?
3) has the engine moved away from Crozier in net? He was appearing on a lot of cup winning rosters for a while
I recently won a cup with Crozier 91% in a league that was about 100m . You still need a back six like (yawning) Harris, Arbour, Smith all 93 and in a 70m sim I go with Faulk D 80 and Lashoff.. or if I have a ton of cash, might to the 90 Byfuglien.. 4.2m he is leading one of my t4eams in assists after one playoff round.. and even in a 70m league, he rocks. Goalies? Crapshoot. I am cheap.. sort of .. will take a $1.4 m 88% Fuhr, then someone for maybe $1.9m at 89.2% who went 60/80, then cheap Eddie Mio.. 86% he sometimes kills it.
I try 4 million dollar phenoms who are 91% in the 70 leagues and get ousted. 89.3% and win a cup. Go figure
Only offence I need from D is with guys like Faulk and he is priced at $2.5m and this is a glich as he should go for $6m Same with Byfuglien. the other gift is Doughty
d 94 at 5 mill. No need for wasting money of guys like Orr or Coffey in a 70m sim.. even a 100m sim. (IMO) Faulk seldom disappoints and Dustin is good in any league..
In a 100m sim, JSA my rates on the back end might be 96 x2 (Hajt - Harvey) Then Doughty 94 with Dustin B. pair 3 Alex Smith 93and 95 Daneyko. You can also spend another 350g and take frig. 96d and he is just one game under 85% usually will play all 82 games. Maybe miss 2
Lots of guys will draft a huge scoring back ender like Robinson for almost 10m and then be disappointed when he shows with few points and a big fat minus beside his name. One mega D I like is Manson rated 98.. but he is still 7 million. Karlsson 96 with 21 goals is a much better buy. he is also about 2 million under market. It is like buying Microsoft for $ 145 when it is trading at $198.. 2 months later.
This is an old thread cuz the cap open is now $70,.
I recently had V Prospal rated D 62 with Danny Grant 50 goals and they killed it. 70m sim. Prospal about 5.3 mill and Grant $4.8m. The 45 goals Robitaille will work just as good with him.. and he is about $4.5m. Seldom disappoints.. but try to have a high AVERAGE d rate with your forwards.. Finnigan 95, Hart 94 and langlois will up the average, but the scorers and feeders should be higher than most.. even if you give up a bit of O. One great Combo for me was recently the 60 goals Maruk.. 6 million and had him with the most expensive Bucyk.. and someone like cheap Larochelle. Don is 9.7 mill though.. so (this was a 90m league) still had to give up in other places.
Hope that helps and if nobody ever reads this thread.. o well. I need the keyboard skill practice
