Assessing the Remaining Strength of Schedule

The concept of “Remaining Strength of Schedule” based on opponent rotisserie scores in a fantasy sports context is an important strategic tool that can significantly impact decision-making for team managers. Let’s break down what this means and how it can be utilized:

Understanding Rotisserie Scoring

First, it’s essential to understand rotisserie (or “roto”) scoring, a common system used in fantasy sports leagues. In this system, teams are ranked from best to worst in each statistical category. Points are then awarded according to these rankings. For example, in a 10-team league, the top team in a category might receive 10 points, the next team 9 points, and so on, down to the last team, which receives 1 point.

Assessing the High-Stakes Trade in “Norfolk in Chance” Fantasy League

In a fantasy hockey move that has sent ripples through the “Norfolk in Chance” league, the Broad Street Bullies, managed by Kevin, struck a notable trade with the league-leading Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots, helmed by Lander. This trade has become a topic of intense debate and speculation among fantasy league enthusiasts, especially considering the timing and the standings of both teams.

The Trade

The Broad Street Bullies traded away their star left winger, Kirill Kaprizov of the Minnesota Wild, to the Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots in exchange for Jake Guentzel of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Drake Batherson of the Ottawa Senators. This move is particularly intriguing given the contrasting fortunes of the two teams: Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots leading the pack at 1st place after week 16, and Broad Street Bullies languishing in 10th.

Analyzing the Stats

Kirill Kaprizov, known for his exceptional playmaking abilities and scoring touch, has been a fantasy powerhouse. Despite missing seven games earlier in the season due to injury, his stats remain impressive. With an average time on ice (TOI) of 21:05, Kaprizov has notched 19 goals, 26 assists, and a positive plus-minus of 5. His penalty minutes (PIM) stand at 22, with 21 power play points (PPP). Furthermore, he has recorded 137 shots on goal (SOG), 19 hits, and 23 blocked shots (BLK). His roster percentage is a solid 99%, reflecting his high value in fantasy leagues.

On the other side of the trade, Jake Guentzel has been a consistent performer for the Penguins. With a TOI of 21:00, he has accumulated 22 goals, 27 assists, and a highly commendable plus-minus of 12. His PIM are lower at 14, with 11 PPP. Guentzel shines in SOG with a total of 173, along with 29 hits and 18 blocks. His roster percentage is 96%, slightly lower than Kaprizov’s but still indicative of his worth.

Drake Batherson, though not as high-profile as Kaprizov or Guentzel, brings a unique blend of skills to the table. With a TOI of 17:54, he has scored 16 goals and 21 assists. His plus-minus is at -5, which is a concern, but he compensates with 34 PIM and 11 PPP. Batherson’s strength lies in his physical play, evident from his 106 SOG, 49 hits, and 22 blocks. His roster percentage of 76% reflects his status as a valuable but slightly less coveted fantasy asset.

Strategic Implications

This trade seems to be a calculated risk for the Broad Street Bullies. While they lose a high-caliber player in Kaprizov, they gain depth with Guentzel and Batherson, addressing key areas like goal scoring, physical play, and special teams. For the Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots, acquiring Kaprizov could be a move to consolidate their top position, adding a player capable of single-handedly swinging matches.

Looking Ahead

Coincidentally, the Broad Street Bullies and Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots are scheduled to face each other in week 17, adding an extra layer of drama to this trade. This matchup will be a litmus test for the trade’s immediate impact on both teams.

In conclusion, while the trade appears to favor Rock ’Em Sock ’Em Robots on paper, given Kaprizov’s star power, the added depth and versatility the Broad Street Bullies receive with Guentzel and Batherson cannot be underestimated. Only time will tell who emerges as the true winner of this intriguing fantasy hockey trade.
