@yairi_kun Does K. Yairi sell Alvarez-Yairi Masterworks guitars in Japan or do any current Yairi guitars use Direct Coupled bridge? I am interested in DYM70CE (44mm nut) or K.Yairi version of this guitar. 私は横浜に住んでいます. 日本語の回答で大丈夫です。

@FantasyHockeyPD @DaveedGamboa @Stakenborg Yep. I decided assists, consistency and veteran presence might be more prescient than hoping for bunches in final week before playoffs! Thanks for the opinion.

[Jeff W. Richards @jeffwrichards]

@FantasyHockeyPD @DaveedGamboa @Stakenborg In a shallow points only redraft league. I’m mid pack currently. I need some TB Lightning shares. Killorn and Cirelli are available. Who do you like of the two?

[Jeff W. Richards @jeffwrichards]

@FantasyHockeyPD @DaveedGamboa @Stakenborg Another question for you, gents: Flyers have a 5-game week. For points-only who would you choose to stream off waivers? Farabee, Voracek or Hayes? Is it worth it if you have a spot?

[Jeff W. Richards @jeffwrichards]

@FantasyTipped Liked yr suggestions on Bruins & Flyers 5-game week. Shallow redraft. Points only. Avail on waiver: Farabee, Hayes, Voracek. Who r u choosing?

[Jeff W. Richards @jeffwrichards]

@FantasyHockeyPD @DaveedGamboa @Stakenborg Thanks for the reply. I figured it’s kind of a toss-up. Top line minutes vs first pp (with Stammer, no less). Would you value top line pp over top line 5-on-5?

[Jeff W. Richards @jeffwrichards]

@FantasyHockeyPD @DaveedGamboa I figured as much. I so hoped Bob would right the ship in second half. Thanks for backing up my gut instinct, lol... pulling trigger now.

[Jeff W. Richards @jeffwrichards]

@FantasyHockeyPD @DaveedGamboa I feel your Bobrovsky pain! M A Fleury just became available in my shallow 8-team league. Should I say bye-bye Bob and claim Marc?
