There is still a game on Sunday that could possible have implications on the order but I think the teams are set. Below is the current order for selection of opponent.
After some debate I’m taking the Stars.
flyers take Ducks via the Discord channel
Jets vs Stars
Flyers vs Ducks
Wild vs Knights
Oilers va Sharks
Coyotes vs Kings
Preds vs Sabres
Rangers vs Bruins
Hawks vs Kraken

Condolences to Redhawk for getting stuck with me. You might beat me! I also have a terrible playoff team |

I hope Smith gets me 0 points. If it costs me the round so be it

I wonder if he gets anymore starts. He may not even get a chance to earn any points.

So I would love to know why teams picked certain teams. I have been waiting for a week to ask this question. Some of the the choices I can't quite wrap my head around. So if anyone wants to enlighten me, I'd love to know lol

I picked a matchup where I thought my top guys would out perform the other teams top players.
Sometimes it work, sometimes it doesn't.
I thought I had a decent chance this year, but it looks like a first round exit is coming

I picked based on who I think I have a shot at beating and who has players on teams I think will make it through to the next round.

Similar for me
I am not looking for an easy pushover. That doesn’t help me in round two.
I look at all the possible teams and determine those will give me good players I defeat them. (Vegas had two goalies and some good dmen, my areas that are the weakest.) I then decide if I can beat them. I did not see Vegas as a slam dunk, but rather a stiff challenge that I will most likely beat. If the NHL Rangers pitch a couple shutouts, he could beat me. I took that risk.

For full transparency, if Slots did not pick SJ as their opponent, I still would not have picked them as an opponent. I think the team is too good and I stood a good chance at losing in the first round if I came up against them.
My choice was between AZ and VGK.

I'll be honest also... This season, I only skimmed the teams. I probably should have taken a closer look

I would have stomped chicago and seattle, but boston looked like the closest matchup. definitely getting to the 2nd round is great, but getting there with a dead roster in a survival format is no fun.
shoutout to landeskog for singlehandedly keeping me in it.

You get to pick teams? Never have done it lol.
EDIT: To answer Derek's question, I would be picking based on the matchups. For example, if I was Arizona, who has Bergeron and Marchand, I would be picking a team that might have an Aho/Teravainen that could at least replace those points. Goaltending is also a huge thing to consider. Having zero goalies for this run is kind of hurting me. At least Makar showed up.

Round 2 teams so far. The number behind the team is the finish from the regular season and used for the order to pick.
Tough matchups still but I’m going Rangers.
Jets 1 vs Rangers 10
Flyers 2 vs Hawks 15
Wild 3
Sharks 6
Coyotes 7
Preds 9

Yoda says: More diverse your team should be. Too conference specific it is.
Also change your team symbol 😂 you’re channeling Ottawa’s losing juju.

Plus you’ve had Kadri running wild. Seems I screwed up and should have gone an easier route. Oh well, happy to give Flyboy a freebie for fees this year. |
