Sounds like a great idea.

As for trades I've gotten a few offers, some I've thought about and others I've rejected outright. The latest was hot start Quincey for slow start Boyes which was a bit interesting but I couldn't figure out which D to drop since Strålman seems to be doing great after I picked him up, if he keeps it up I might have a tough call when Goligoski gets healthy. I also didn't see any FA RWs I liked for Boyes replacement so I'd have to work another trade or make a counter-offer, and I'm lazy.

Also worth noting is that Quincey's +/- is -8 in the last five games, the Avs might be coming back down to earth. I'm hoping they can turn it back around though since I just picked up Liles to fill the empty D spot I had for Mon, Wed and Fri while Frolik was keeping the bench warm.

That was such a close one but he killed me on goals and assists. Plus, all of that special teams action. I had him on the goaltending categories and PIM though. I've lost to many matchups this season by 1 or 2 categories.

Interesting. Now could this be done for each week? For example, show who had the most goals for the week end 11/29 and the same with the other categories?
